3.13. Recordable Intellectual Property. (a) Annex G hereto sets forth as of the date hereof a complete and accurate
list of all Recordable Intellectual Property that each Grantor owns. Each Grantor represents and warrants that as of the date hereof it is the sole owner of all right, title and interest in all Recordable Intellectual Property listed in Annex G
hereto, except where the failure to have such sole ownership could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Grantor represents and warrants that:

knowledge of any Responsible Officer of such Grantor;

other than, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), as would not reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an absolute power of
attorney to sign, solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any document which may be required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, any domain name registrar, the United States Copyright Office or any
other governmental authority in order to effect an assignment of all right, title and interest in any Intellectual Property constituting Collateral, and record the same. 

(b) Each Grantor agrees, within 60 days of the end of each fiscal year of the Company, to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of the name
and address of, and to furnish such pertinent information that may be available to such Grantor with respect to: (i) any party who such Grantor reasonably believes is infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating any of such
Grantor’s rights in and to any Intellectual Property in any manner that 

  
 -12- 

 
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) any party, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of such Grantor, claiming that any Grantor or the conduct of
any Grantor’s business infringes, misappropriates, dilutes or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property right of any third party in any manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Grantor further agrees
to take all necessary action, in accordance with its reasonable business judgment, with respect to any Person infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating any Intellectual Property owned by it if failure to do so would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Trademarks and to take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary to preserve such Trademarks as trademarks or service marks under the laws of the United States or other jurisdictions, as applicable (other than any such Trademarks that are
deemed by a Grantor in its reasonable business judgment to no longer be material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business). 
 (d) Each
Grantor shall, at its own expense, diligently maintain all registrations and applications for registration included in the Recordable Intellectual Property that are material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in
accordance with its reasonable business judgment, including but not limited to filing affidavits of use and applications for renewals of registration for all such Recordable Intellectual Property constituting registered Trademarks and timely payment
of all post-issuance fees required to maintain in force its rights under each such Recordable Intellectual Property constituting issued Patent or registered Copyright, and shall pay all fees and disbursements in connection therewith and shall not
abandon any such registration, filing of affidavit of use or application of renewal prior to the exhaustion of all administrative and judicial remedies without prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld (other

unreasonably withheld. 
 (f) In the event that any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, files an
application for or acquires any Recordable Intellectual Property following the date hereof, then the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and any such Intellectual Property shall automatically constitute part of the
Collateral and shall be subject to the Collateral Agent’s security interest, without further action by any party, and

Intellectual Property Security Agreement, as necessary to evidence and perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Recordable Intellectual Property provided that such agreements, instruments, documents and papers (the
“Writings”) are consistent with the terms of and conditions of this Agreement, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to
execute and file such Writings, solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and solely for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated. 
 ARTICLE IV 

PROVISIONS CONCERNING ALL COLLATERAL 

4.1. Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security. Except as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, no Grantor
will do anything to impair the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral. Each Grantor will at all times maintain insurance, at such Grantor’s own expense to the extent and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Except to the
extent otherwise permitted to be retained by such Grantor or applied by such Grantor pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, at the time any proceeds of such insurance are
distributed to the Secured Parties, apply such proceeds in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof. Each Grantor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of such Grantor to pay the
Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to such Grantor. 

4.2. Additional Information. Each Grantor will, at its own expense, from time to time upon the reasonable request of the
Collateral Agent, promptly (and in any event within 10 days after its receipt of the respective request) furnish to the Collateral Agent such information with respect to the Collateral (including the identity of the Collateral or such components
thereof as may have been requested by the Collateral Agent, the value and location of such Collateral, etc.) as may be requested by the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the forgoing, each Grantor agrees that it shall promptly (and in any event
within 10 days after its receipt of the respective request) furnish to the Collateral Agent such updated Annexes hereto as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. 

4.3. Financing Statements. Each Grantor agrees to execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the
Collateral Agent such financing statements, in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request or as are reasonably necessary or desirable in the opinion of, and at the request of,
the Collateral Agent to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and the other rights and security contemplated hereby. Each Grantor will pay any applicable filing fees,
recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its Collateral. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any such financing statements without the signature of such Grantor 

  
 -14- 

 
where permitted by law (and such authorization includes describing the Collateral as “all assets” of such Grantor or words of similar effect). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
reasonably requested by any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense, make such filings as may be reasonably requested to evidence that the security interests hereunder do not attach to any property that constitutes Excluded
Assets. 
 4.4. Further Actions. The Company shall, and shall cause each other Grantor to, at their own expense, take
such other actions as are required by Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement. 
 ARTICLE V 

REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT 

5.1. Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default. Each Grantor agrees that, subject to any Applicable Intercreditor
Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Collateral Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law and under the other provisions of this Agreement,
shall have all rights as a secured creditor under any UCC, and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured creditor is entitled under the laws in effect in all relevant jurisdictions and may: 

(i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from such Grantor
or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon such Grantor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in
connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of such Grantor; 
 (ii) instruct the
obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the Accounts and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other
obligation directly to the Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Grantor in respect of such Collateral; 

(iii) instruct all banks which have entered into a control agreement with the Collateral Agent to transfer all monies,
securities and instruments held by such depositary bank to the Cash Collateral Account; 
 (iv) sell, assign or otherwise
liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof, or direct such Grantor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case, take possession
of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation; 

  
 -15- 

 (v) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such
Grantor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Grantor shall at its own expense: 

(x) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to
the Collateral Agent; 
 (y) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places
pending further action by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.2 hereof; and 
 (z) while the Collateral shall
be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain it in good condition; 

(vi) exercise the rights granted under Sections 1.2 and 1.3 hereof; 

(vii) apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4; 

(viii) license or sublicense, on a royalty free, rent basis, whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any Intellectual
Property included in the Collateral (in the case of Trademarks, subject to reasonable quality control and subject to those exclusive licenses granted by Grantors in effect on the date hereof and those granted by any Grantor hereafter to the extent
permitted by the Credit Agreement) for such term and on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole judgment determine, it being understood that any such license, may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral
Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, that any such license shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default; and 

(ix) take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of
Section 9-607(a) of the UCC; 
 it being understood that each Grantor’s obligation so to deliver the
Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Grantor of said obligation. By
accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Collateral Document, the Secured Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Collateral Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent acting
upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that
such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. 

  
 -16- 

 5.2. Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. If any Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, then, subject to any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, any Collateral repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by
the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such
time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of such Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise
disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the relevant Grantor which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such
sale, lease or other disposition may be effected by means of a public disposition or private disposition, effected in accordance with the applicable requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of Sections 9-610 through 9-613 of the UCC and/or such other mandatory requirements of applicable law as may apply to the respective disposition. The Collateral Agent may, without notice
or publication, adjourn any public or private disposition or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the disposition, and such disposition may be made at any time or place to which the
disposition may be so adjourned. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Obligations against the purchase
price) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 5.2 without accountability to the relevant Grantor. If, under applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be permitted to make disposition of
the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the relevant Grantor as hereinabove specified, the Collateral Agent need give such Grantor only such notice of disposition as shall be required by such applicable
law. Each Grantor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all
applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Grantor’s
expense. 
 5.3. Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, IN EACH CASE AFTER THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE
CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law: 

(i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any damages which are the direct result
of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision); 

  
 -17- 

 (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other
requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and 
 (iii) all rights of
redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and
each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws. 

Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and
demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold,
optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such Grantor. 
 5.4. Application of Proceeds.
(a) Subject to any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, all moneys collected by the Collateral Agent (or, to the extent the Pledge Agreement or any other Collateral Document requires proceeds of collateral under such other Collateral Document to
be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Pledgee, under, and as defined in, the Pledge Agreement or collateral agent under such other Collateral Document) upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral (or the
collateral under the relevant Collateral Document), in connection with the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, together with all other moneys received by the
Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Collateral Document, shall be applied as described in the Credit Agreement. 

5.5. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall
be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy
whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative
and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or
extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence thereof. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle it
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the
Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts
thereof shall be included in such judgment. 

  
 -18- 

 5.6. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent
shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Grantor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral
subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted. 

ARTICLE VI 
 INDEMNITY 

6.1. Indemnity. (a) The parties hereto agree that the terms of Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement are
incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Grantor under this Section 6.1 are unenforceable for any reason, such Grantor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. 
 6.2. Indemnity Obligations
Secured by Collateral; Survival. Any amounts paid by any Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. The indemnity
obligations of each Grantor contained in this Article VI shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all of the other Obligations and notwithstanding the full payment of all the Notes issued, and Loans made, under the
Credit Agreement and the payment of all other Obligations and notwithstanding the discharge thereof and the occurrence of the Termination Date.

actions as specified in this Agreement as would have been taken by such Grantor had it been an original party to this Agreement, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to the Collateral Agent and with all documents and

respect of the provision of voting rights or the obtaining of any consent of any Person, in each case in connection with any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, shall be deemed satisfied if the Grantors comply with the requirements of the similar
provision of the applicable Fixed Asset Document. Until the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations, the delivery of any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable Fixed Asset Documents as
bailee for the Collateral Agent shall satisfy any delivery requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document. 
 8.14.
Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement in all respects and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of any
Applicable Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of such Applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any
Loan Document and the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (or any Secured Party) hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to the provisions of any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement and
in the event of any conflict between the terms of such Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of such Applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to the exercise of any
such right or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Loan Party shall be required hereunder or under any Loan Document to take any action with respect to the Collateral that
is inconsistent with the provisions of any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement. 
 8.15. Release of Grantors. If at any
time all of the Equity Interests of any Grantor (or, to the extent any Collateral Document requires releases thereunder to occur in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the pledgor, transferor, mortgagor or other corresponding party
under such other Collateral Document) owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries are sold (to a Person other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) in a transaction permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement (and which does not violate the
terms of any other Loan Document then in effect), then, at the request and expense of the Company, the respective Grantor shall be immediately released as a Grantor pursuant to this Agreement without any further action hereunder (and upon the
reasonable request of the Company and at the expense of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent (or, to the extent any other Collateral Document requires releases thereunder to occur in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the pledgee,
assignee, mortgagee or other corresponding party under such other Collateral Document) shall execute and deliver such instruments of release as are reasonably necessary to evidence the release of such Grantor and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent). At any time the Company desires that a Grantor be released from this Agreement as provided in this Section 8.15, the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Company stating that (i) the transaction is permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement (and does not violate the terms of any other Loan Documents then in effect) and (ii) the release of the respective Grantor is permitted pursuant to this

Collateral of such Pledgor whereby or with respect to which the Pledgee may obtain “control” thereof within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC (or under any provision of the UCC as same may
be amended or supplemented from time to time, or under the laws of any relevant State other than the State of New York), such Pledgor shall take all actions requested from time to time by the Pledgee as may be necessary or reasonably advisable
in the reasonable judgment of the Pledgee so that “control” of such Collateral is obtained and held by the Pledgee in accordance with Section 3.2(a) hereof; provided that within 90 days after the date hereof (or such longer period as

or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee or any other Secured Party of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no
failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Secured Parties agree that this
Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Pledgee, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon
the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. 

9. RECEIVER’S POWERS. (a) Any receiver appointed by the Pledgee pursuant to Section 7 hereof is vested with the rights and remedies
which could have been exercised by the Pledgee in respect of any Pledgor or the Collateral and such other powers and discretions as are granted in the instrument of appointment and any supplemental instruments. The identity of the receiver, its
replacement and its remuneration are within the sole and unfettered discretion of the Pledgee. 
 (b) Any receiver appointed by the Pledgee
pursuant to Section 7 hereof will act as agent for the Pledgee for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, but otherwise and for all other purposes (except as provided below), as agent for the Pledgors. The receiver may sell,
lease, or otherwise dispose of Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof as agent for the Pledgors or as agent for the Pledgee as the Pledgee may determine in its discretion. Each Pledgor agrees to ratify and confirm all actions of the receiver
acting as agent for such Pledgor so long as such actions are taken in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 (c) The Pledgee, in appointing or
refraining from appointing any receiver, does not incur liability to the receiver, the Pledgors or otherwise and is not responsible for any misconduct or negligence of such receiver except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Pledgee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) (it being agreed that appointing or refraining to appoint any receiver in the reasonable
judgment of the Pledgee’s or based on the advice of advisors or counsel shall not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct). 

10. ULC SHARES. (a) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement or any other document or agreement among all or some of the
parties hereto, each Pledgor is the sole registered and beneficial owner of all its Collateral that is ULC Shares and will remain so until such time as such ULC Shares are effectively transferred into the name of the Pledgee, any of the Secured
Parties, or any nominee of the foregoing or any other Person on the books and records of such ULC. Accordingly, such Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend on or other distribution, if any, in respect of ULC
Shares that are Collateral and shall have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of any ULC to the same extent as such Pledgor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the Pledgee for the benefit
of the Secured Parties pursuant hereto. 

  
 Page 16 

 
Nothing in this Agreement or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement or any other document or agreement among all or
some of the parties hereto shall, constitute the Pledgee, any of the Secured Parties or any Person other than a Pledgor, a member of any ULC for the purposes of Companies Act (Nova Scotia), the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the
Business Corporations Act (Alberta) or any other applicable legislation until such time as notice is given to such Pledgor and further steps are taken hereunder or thereunder so as to register the Pledgee, any of the Secured Parties or any nominee
of the foregoing, as specified in such notice, as the holder of shares of such ULC. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Pledgee or any of the Secured Parties a member of a ULC prior to such time, such
provision shall be severed herefrom and ineffective with respect to Collateral that is shares of such ULC without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as
it relates to Collateral that is not shares of such ULC. 
 (b) Except upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral
that is ULC Shares if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, no Pledgor shall cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds ULC Shares that are Collateral to cause or permit, the Pledgee or any other Secured Party
to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of a ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favour in the share register of a ULC; (c) be held out as a shareholder or member of a ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any
dividends, property or other distributions from a ULC by reason of the Pledgee or any other Secured Party holding a security interest in a ULC or ULC Shares; or (e) act as a shareholder or member of a ULC, or exercise any rights of a
shareholder or member including the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, a ULC. 
 11. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. (a)
Subject to any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, all monies collected by the Pledgee upon any sale or other disposition of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of, the Collateral (whether or not expressly characterized
as such) in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies in accordance with this Agreement, together with all other monies received by the Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 5.4 of the U.S. Security
Agreement. 
 (b) It is understood and agreed that each Pledgor shall remain jointly and severally liable with respect to the Obligations to
the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the aggregate amount of the Obligations. 

(c) It is understood and agreed by each Pledgor and each Secured Party that the Pledgee shall have no liability for any determinations made by
it in this Section 11, in each case except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Pledgee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision). Each Pledgor and each Secured Party also agrees that the Pledgee may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom,
petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the requirements hereof, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to wait for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination. 

  
 Page 17 

 12. PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Pledgee hereunder
(whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Pledgee or the officer making such 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 Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof. 

13. INDEMNITY. The parties hereto agree that the terms of Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference,
mutatis mutandis. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Pledgor under this Section 13 are unenforceable for any reason, such Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such
obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The indemnity obligations of each Pledgor contained in this Section 13 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the Payment in Full of the Obligations. 

14. PLEDGEE NOT A PARTNER OR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY MEMBER. (a) Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Pledgee or any other Secured
Party liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Party by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have
any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership. The parties hereto 

expressly agree that, unless the Pledgee shall become the absolute owner of Collateral consisting of a Limited Liability Company Interest or a Partnership
Interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Pledgee, any other Secured Party, any Pledgor and/or any other Person. 

(b) Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 14, the Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, did not
intend to become a member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to any Pledgor, any limited liability company, partnership
and/or any other Person either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred. The Pledgee shall have only those powers set forth herein and the Secured Parties shall assume none of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any
limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership or any Pledgor except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 14. 

(c) The Pledgee and the other Secured Parties shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of any Pledgor as a result of the
pledge hereby effected. 
 (d) The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so
created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Pledgee or any other Secured Party to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or
to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral. 

  
 Page 18 

 15. FURTHER ASSURANCES;
POWER-OF-ATTORNEY. (a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will, at such Pledgor’s own expense, file and refile, or cause to be filed or refiled, under the UCC or other
applicable law such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents, in form reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee, in such offices as the Pledgee (acting on its own or on the instructions of the Required Lenders) may reasonably
deem necessary or appropriate and wherever required or permitted by law in order to perfect and preserve the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral hereunder and hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file financing statements and amendments
thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral (including, without limitation, financing statements which list the Collateral specifically and/or “all assets” as collateral) without the signature of such Pledgor where permitted by
law, in such offices as the Pledgee may reasonably deem necessary or advisable or wherever required or permitted by law in order to perfect and preserve the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral hereunder and agrees to do such further
acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Pledgee such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Pledgee may reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to further
assure and confirm unto the Pledgee its rights, powers and remedies hereunder or thereunder. 
 (b) Each Pledgor hereby constitutes and
appoints the Pledgee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or
otherwise, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the Pledgee’s discretion, to act, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies due or to
become due to such Pledgor under or arising out of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings and to execute any instrument
which the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an interest. 

16. THE PLEDGEE AS COLLATERAL AGENT. The Pledgee will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received
under this Agreement. It is expressly understood, acknowledged and agreed by each Secured Party that by accepting the benefits of this Agreement each such Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Pledgee as holder of the
Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement. The Pledgee shall act hereunder on
the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent has agreed pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Intercreditor Agreement to hold that
part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees), as collateral agent and as bailee for the Pledgee. 

17. TRANSFER BY THE PLEDGORS. Subject to any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, except as permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents prior
to the Termination Date, no Pledgor will sell or otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Collateral or any interest therein.

 18. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGORS. (a) Each Pledgor
represents, warrants and covenants as to itself and each of its Subsidiaries that: 
 (i) it is the legal, beneficial and
record owner of, and has good and marketable title to, all of its Collateral consisting of one or more Securities, Partnership Interests and Limited Liability Company Interests and that it has sufficient interest in all of its Collateral in which a
security interest is purported to be created hereunder for such security interest to attach (subject, in each case, to no pledge, Lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option, Adverse Claim or other encumbrance whatsoever, except
the Liens and security interests created by this Agreement or permitted under the Loan Documents); 
 (ii) it has full power,
authority and legal right to pledge all the Collateral pledged by it pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (iii) this Agreement has

be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); 

(iv) except to the extent already obtained or made, no consent of any other party (including, without limitation, any
stockholder, partner, member or creditor of such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries) and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental
Authority is required to be obtained by such Pledgor (which has not been obtained or made) in connection with (a) the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Pledgor, (b) the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement against such Pledgor, (c) the perfection of the Pledgee’s security interest in such Pledgor’s Collateral or (d) except for compliance with or as may be required by applicable securities laws, the exercise by the Pledgee
of any of its rights or remedies provided herein; 
 (v) neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Pledgor of
this Agreement, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) will contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation, or any applicable
order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental instrumentality, domestic or foreign, applicable to such Pledgor; (ii) will conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien 

  
 Page 20 

 
(except pursuant to the Collateral Documents) upon any of the properties or assets of such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of
trust, credit agreement, loan agreement or any other material agreement, contract or other instrument to which such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is otherwise bound, or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound or to
which it may be subject; or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of formation or limited liability
company agreement (or equivalent organizational documents), as the case may be, of such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries; 

(vi) all of such Pledgor’s Collateral (consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests and Partnership
Interests) of any Subsidiary has been duly and validly issued, and in the case of any Stock of a Domestic Corporation is fully paid and non-assessable and is subject to no options to purchase or similar
rights; 
 (vii) each of such Pledgor’s Pledged Notes constitutes, or when executed by the obligor that is a Subsidiary
thereof will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of such obligor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); and 

(viii) the security interests created under this Agreement (when executed and delivered by all parties hereto) are effective to
create in favor of the Pledgee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the Pledgors in all of the Collateral, and when proper UCC financing statements have been
filed in the appropriate filing offices against each Pledgor and the Pledgee has obtained “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) of the Collateral, the Pledgee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a perfected security
interest in all Collateral to the extent such security interest can be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement under the UCC or by the Pledgee having “control” of the Collateral, subject to no security interests of any other Person
(other than Permitted Liens, subject to the terms of any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement). 
 (b) Each Pledgor covenants
and agrees that it will defend the Pledgee’s right, title and security interest in and to such Pledgor’s Collateral and the proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever (other than Permitted Liens); and each
Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will have like title to and right to pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the Pledgee by such Pledgor as Collateral hereunder as provided herein and will likewise defend the right thereto
and security interest therein of the Pledgee and the other Secured Parties.

Pledgor, such Pledgor’s Location, the organizational identification number (if any) of each Pledgor, the Federal Employer Identification Number (if any) and whether or not such Pledgor is a Transmitting Utility, is listed on Annex A hereto for

Utility, as the case may be, its jurisdiction of organization, its Location, or its organizational identification number (if any) or its Federal Employer Identification Number (if any), except that any such changes shall be permitted (so long as not
in violation of the applicable requirements of the Loan Documents and so long as same do not involve (x) a Registered Organization ceasing to constitute same or (y) any Pledgor changing its jurisdiction of organization or Location from the
United States or a State thereof to a jurisdiction of organization or Location, as the case may be, outside the United States or a State thereof) if (i) it shall have given to the Pledgee not less than 10 days’ prior written notice of each
change to the information listed on Annex A (as adjusted for any subsequent changes thereto previously made in accordance with this sentence), together with a supplement to Annex A which shall correct all information contained therein for such
Pledgor, and (ii) in connection with the respective change or changes, it shall have taken all action reasonably requested by the Pledgee to maintain the security interests of the Pledgee in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all
times fully perfected and in full force and effect. In addition, to the extent that any Pledgor does not have an organizational identification number on the date hereof and later obtains one, such Pledgor shall promptly thereafter deliver a
notification to the Pledgee of such organizational identification number and shall take all actions reasonably satisfactory to the Pledgee to the extent necessary to maintain the security interest of the Pledgee in the Collateral intended to be
granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect. 
 20. PLEDGORS’ OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE, ETC. The obligations of each Pledgor
under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever
(other than termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 22 hereof), including, without limitation: 
 (i) any
renewal, extension, amendment or modification of, or addition or supplement to or deletion from any Loan Document (other than this Agreement in accordance with its terms), or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein, or any assignment
or transfer thereof; 
 (ii) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of
any such agreement or instrument including, without limitation, this Agreement (other than a waiver consent or extension with respect to this Agreement in accordance with its terms); 

(iii) any furnishing of any additional security to the Pledgee or its assignee or any acceptance thereof or any release of any
security by the Pledgee or its assignee; 

  
 Page 22 

 (iv) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligations under any
such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof; or 

(v) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding
relating to any Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any Pledgor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not such Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of
the foregoing. 
 21. SALE OF COLLATERAL WITHOUT REGISTRATION. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any
Pledgor shall have received from the Pledgee a written request or requests that such Pledgor cause any registration, qualification or compliance under any federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the
Collateral consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests, such Pledgor as soon as practicable and at its expense will use its best efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and
will use its best efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Collateral consisting of Securities, Limited
Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests, including, without limitation, registration under the Securities Act, as then in effect (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other
state securities laws and appropriate compliance with any other governmental requirements; provided, that the Pledgee shall furnish to such Pledgor such information regarding the Pledgee as such Pledgor may request in writing and as shall be
required in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. Each Pledgor will cause the Pledgee to be kept reasonably advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the
completion thereof, will furnish to the Pledgee such number of prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident thereto as the Pledgee from time to time may reasonably request, and will indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the
Pledgee and all other Secured Parties participating in the distribution of such Collateral consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration
statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or omission based upon information
furnished in writing to such Pledgor by the Pledgee or such other Secured Party expressly for use therein. 
 (b) If at any time when the
Pledgee shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Collateral consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 7 hereof, and such Collateral or the part thereof
to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act, as then in effect, the Pledgee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and
under such circumstances as the Pledgee may deem 

  
 Page 23 

 
necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without such registration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Pledgee, in its sole and
absolute discretion (i) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under such Securities Act, (ii) may approach
and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the
distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In the event of any such sale, the Pledgee shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price which the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until the registration as aforesaid. 

22. TERMINATION; RELEASE. (a) On the Termination Date, this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth herein
including, without limitation, in Section 13 hereof shall survive any such termination) and the Pledgee, at the request and expense of such Pledgor, will execute and deliver to such Pledgor a proper instrument or instruments (including UCC
termination statements) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, UCC termination statements and instruments of satisfaction, discharge and/or reconveyance), and will duly release from the
security interest created hereby and assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Pledgee or any of its sub-agents hereunder and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement, together with any moneys at the time held by the Pledgee or any of its sub-agents hereunder and, with respect to any Collateral consisting of an Uncertificated Security issued by a Subsidiary of the Company (other than an Uncertificated Security credited on the books of a Clearing
Corporation or Securities Intermediary), a termination of the agreement relating thereto executed and delivered by the issuer of such Uncertificated Security pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii) or by the respective partnership or limited liability
company pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(iv)(2). 
 (b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of (to a
Person other than a Loan Party) at any time prior to the Termination Date, in connection with a sale or disposition permitted by Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement, or is otherwise released pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and the proceeds
of such sale or disposition (or from such release) are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement to the extent required to be so applied, the Pledgee, at the request and expense of such Pledgor, will duly release from the security
interest created hereby (and will execute and deliver such documentation, including termination or partial release statements and the like in connection therewith) and assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse and without any
representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or otherwise disposed of, or released, and as may be in the possession of the Pledgee (or, in the case of Collateral held by any
sub-agent designated pursuant to Section 4 hereof, such sub-agent) and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. Furthermore, upon the release
of any U.S. Guarantor from the U.S. Guaranty in accordance with the provisions thereof, such Pledgor (and the Collateral at such time assigned or pledged by the respective Pledgor pursuant 

  
 Page 24 

 
hereto) shall be released from this Agreement. In the case of any such sale or disposition of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction permitted pursuant to Section 7.05 of the
Credit Agreement, the Liens created by this Agreement on such Collateral shall be automatically released without need for further action by any Person. 

(c) At any time that any Pledgor desires that the Pledgee deliver any release or such other documentation as provided in the foregoing
Section 22(a) or (b), such Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee (and the relevant sub-agent, if any, designated pursuant to Section 4 hereof) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Pledgor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to Section 22(a) or (b) hereof. At any time that the Company or the respective Pledgor desires that a U.S. Guarantor which has been released from the U.S.
Guaranty be released hereunder as provided in the penultimate sentence of Section 22(b), it shall deliver to the Pledgee a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company and the respective Pledgor stating that the release of the
respective Pledgor (and its Collateral) is permitted pursuant to such Section 22(b). 
 (d) The Pledgee shall have no liability
whatsoever to any other Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with, or which the Pledgee in good faith believes to be in accordance with, this Section 22. 

23. NOTICES, ETC. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective
parties hereto shall be sent or delivered by mail, telecopy or courier service and all such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telecopied or sent by courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the overnight courier,
or sent by telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Pledgee or any Pledgor shall not be effective until received by the Pledgee or such Pledgor, as the case may be. All notices and other communications shall be in writing and

Credit Agreement, none of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever. 

25. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full
force and effect, subject to release and/or termination as set forth in Section 22 hereof, (ii) be binding upon each Pledgor, its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Pledgor shall assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Pledgee hereunder, to the benefit of the Pledgee, the other Secured Parties and their respective successors,

28. PLEDGOR’S DUTIES. It is expressly agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, that each Pledgor shall remain
liable to perform all of the obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the Collateral and the Pledgee shall not have any obligations or liabilities with respect to any Collateral by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, except for the
safekeeping of Collateral actually in Pledgee’s possession, nor shall the Pledgee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Pledgor under or with respect to any Collateral. 

29. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Company and the Pledgee.

 30. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this 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. 
 31. RECOURSE. This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Pledgor and pursuant to and upon all the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements on the part of such Pledgor contained herein and in the other Loan Documents and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith.

 32. ADDITIONAL PLEDGORS. It is understood and agreed that any Wholly-Owned Domestic
Subsidiary of the Company that is required to become a party to this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of the Credit Agreement shall become a Pledgor hereunder by (x) executing a counterpart hereof, a Joinder
Agreement or a Pledge Agreement Supplement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and delivering the same to the Pledgee (provided such Pledge Agreement Supplement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor), (y) delivering supplements
to Annexes A through G hereto as are necessary to cause such annexes to be complete and accurate with respect to such additional Pledgor on such date and (z) taking all actions as specified in this Agreement as would have been taken by such
Pledgor had it been an original party to this Agreement, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to the Pledgee and with all documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Pledgee and
upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a Pledgor hereunder. 
 33. LIMITED OBLIGATIONS. It is the desire and
intent of each Pledgor and the Secured Parties that this Agreement shall be enforced against each Pledgor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in furtherance of the foregoing, it is noted that the obligations of each Pledgor constituting a U.S. Guarantor have been limited as (and to the extent) provided in the U.S. Guaranty. 

34. FIXED ASSET PRIORITY COLLATERAL. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations, the
requirements under this Agreement to deliver or grant control over Fixed Asset Priority Collateral to the Pledgee, or to give any notice to any Person or in respect of the provision of voting rights or the obtaining of any consent of any Person, in
each case in connection with any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, shall be deemed satisfied if the Pledgors comply with the requirements of the similar provision of the applicable Fixed Asset Document. Until the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations,
the delivery of any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable Fixed Asset Documents as bailee for the Pledgee shall satisfy any delivery requirement hereunder or under any other Loan
Document. 
 35. INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement in all respects and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and this Agreement, the terms of such Applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lien and security interest granted to the Pledgee pursuant to any Loan Document and the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the Pledgee (or any Secured Party) hereunder
or under any other Loan Document are subject to the provisions of any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the terms of such Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the
terms of such Applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to the exercise of any such right or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no U.S. Loan
Party shall be required hereunder or under any Loan Document to take any action with respect to the Collateral that is inconsistent with the provisions of any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

 36. RELEASE OF PLEDGORS. 

At any time all of the Equity Interests of any Pledgor owned by the Company or any other Pledgor are sold (to a Person other than the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries) in a transaction permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, then such Pledgor shall be released as a Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement without any further action hereunder (it being understood that the sale of all of
the Equity Interests in any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests in any Pledgor shall be deemed to be a sale of all of the Equity Interests in such Pledgor for purposes of this Section), and upon the reasonable
request of the Company and at the expense of the Pledgors, the Pledgee is authorized and directed, and hereby agrees, to execute and deliver such instruments of release as are reasonably requested by the Pledgor to evidence the release of such
Pledgor. At any time that the Company desires that a Pledgor be released from this Agreement as provided in this Section 36, the Company shall deliver to the Pledgee a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company stating that
(i) the transaction is permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement and (ii) the release of the respective Pledgor is permitted pursuant to this Section 36. The Pledgee shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Party as a
result of the release of any Pledgor by it in accordance with, or which it believes to be in accordance with, this Section 36.
