Collateral Parties may deliver the Financial Assets to any court of competent jurisdiction and request such court to adjudicate the entitlement to such Financial Assets by interpleader or other legal proceeding. In respect of this paragraph, should
such actions be necessary, or should the Collateral Parties become involved in litigation in any manner whatsoever on account of this Agreement or the Financial Assets, the Debtor hereby binds and obligates itself, its successors, assigns and legal
representatives to pay the Collateral Parties, in addition to any charge made hereunder for acting as the Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by it, and any other disbursements,
expenses, losses, costs and damages in connection with and resulting from such actions.

deliver certificates and documents in connection with this Agreement on behalf of the Debtor or the Security Agent, as the case may be, and the specimen signature for each such Authorized
Representative of the Debtor or the Security Agent initially authorized hereunder, is set forth on Exhibit A. From time to time, the Debtor and the Security Agent may deliver to each party hereto a revised exhibit or a specimen signature, but
each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then current exhibit until receipt of a superseding exhibit. 

  

	 	(f)	Neither Collateral Party shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any of its officers, unless it shall be proven that such Collateral Party was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts. 

  

	 	(g)	The Collateral Parties shall have no duty to determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of any event or contingency except as expressly required herein. Neither Collateral Party shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted by it, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized hereby, or for any action taken or omitted by it in accordance with the written advice of its counsel. In
case any bona fide question arises as to its duties hereunder, each Collateral Party may request instructions from the Security Agent and shall, upon making such request, be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has
received written instructions from an Authorized Representative of the Security Agent. If either Collateral Party does not receive such instructions within five Business Days after its request, such Collateral Party may, but shall be under no duty
to, take or refrain from taking a course of action. Each of the Collateral Parties shall act in accordance with instructions received after such five Business Day period except to the extent that it has already taken, or committed itself to take,
action inconsistent with such instructions or acting in accordance with such instructions shall expose such Collateral Party to additional costs, obligations or liabilities, in each case, that are not contemplated in this Agreement or any other
Support Document. Nothing herein shall require either Collateral Party to expend or risk its own funds, or take any action which may, in its judgment, subject it to risk of liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. Neither Collateral
Party shall be responsible for the title, validity, value, marketability or collectability or genuineness of any Financial Asset received by or delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement. The Collateral Parties may exercise or carry out their duties
under this Agreement either directly or indirectly through agents or attorneys, and shall not be responsible for any act or omissions on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care. The Collateral Parties and any such agent may
perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 3 shall apply to any such agent and to the Affiliates of the Collateral Parties and any such
agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as Collateral Parties.

	 	(a)	give, make, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers and take any other actions, including, without limitation, fulfilling its obligations
under the Account Control Agreement, that may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable judgment of the Security Agent) to create and perfect, and establish, preserve or otherwise protect the priority of, the pledge, security interest, lien and
right of set-off granted by it pursuant to Section 2 or to enable the Security Agent to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge, security interest, lien and right of set-off; 

 

	 	(b)	keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral; 

  

	 	(c)	permit representatives of the Administrative Agent, upon reasonable notice, at any time during normal business hours, to inspect and make abstracts from its books and records pertaining to the Collateral and forward

	 	(d)	direct each obligor in respect of any Collateral to make any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral directly to the relevant subaccount of the Interest Collection Account or the Principal Collection
Account, as applicable.

the Pledgor shall remain liable under each interest and obligation included in the Collateral to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms
and provisions thereof, and shall do nothing to impair the security interest of the Security Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in any Collateral (it being agreed that any actions expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement shall not be
deemed to impair such security interest). The Security Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any such interest or obligation by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Security Agent of any payment relating
to any such interest or obligation pursuant hereto, and the Security Agent shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Pledgor thereunder or pursuant thereto or to make any payment or to make
any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such interest or obligation or to present or file any claim or to take any action to collect or enforce any
performance or the payment of any amount thereunder to which it may be entitled at any time.

Agreement. 
  

	4.9	Limitation on Transfers 

 The Pledgor agrees that it will not (a) sell, assign or
otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral expressly permitted under the terms of the Loan Agreement, or (b) create or suffer to exist any
Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral except for the pledge, security interest, lien and right of set-off created under this Agreement and other Liens (if any) expressly permitted under the Loan Agreement.

	 	(ii)	furnish to the Security Agent promptly upon receipt thereof copies of all notices, requests and other documents received by the Pledgor under or pursuant to the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party, and from time

 Page 6 

	 	(b)	No Cancellation, Termination, Amendment, Etc. The Pledgor agrees that it will not, except to the extent otherwise permitted under the Loan Agreement or with the prior written consent of the Security Agent (acting
solely at the direction of the Administrative Agent): 

  

	 	(i)	cancel or terminate any Assigned Agreement or consent to or accept any cancellation or termination thereof;

	5.	Remedies 

  

	5.1	Remedies 

 At any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

  

	 	(a)	the Pledgor shall, at the request of the Security Agent (acting solely at the direction of the Administrative Agent), assemble any Collateral not held pursuant to the Account Control Agreement at such place or places,
reasonably convenient to both the Security Agent and the Pledgor, designated in such request; 

  

	 	(b)	the Security Agent (acting solely at the direction of the Administrative Agent) may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment,
arrange for payment in installments or otherwise modify the terms of any of the Collateral; 

  
 Page 7 

	 	(c)	the Security Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the
jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the
right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Security Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Pledgor agrees to take all such
actions as may be appropriate to give effect to such right); 

  

	 	(d)	the Security Agent (acting solely at the direction of the Administrative Agent) may, in its name or in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable
or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral but shall be under no obligation to do so; 

  

	 	(e)	the Security Agent may set-off any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Secured Obligations against any Collateral in the form of Cash; 

 

	 	(f)	subject to the following provisions of this Section 5.1, the Security Agent may (acting solely at the direction of the Administrative Agent), upon 10 days’ prior written notice to the Pledgor of the time and
place, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Security Agent or any of its agents, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such
Collateral, in a commercially reasonable manner, at such place or places as the Security Agent deems best in such manner, and for Cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale,
without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Security Agent or anyone else may be
the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of
whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise) of the Pledgor, any such demand, notice, claim and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by law. Subject to the
following provisions of this Section 5.1, the Security Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale,
and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned; and 

  

	 	(g)	all funds or other property received by the Pledgor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Security Agent (for and
on behalf of the Secured Parties), shall be segregated from other funds and property of the Pledgor and shall (i) in the case of funds, be applied as provided in Section 5.2 and (ii) in the case of other property, be forthwith
delivered to the Security Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement). 

  
 Page 8 

 The Pledgor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Security Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by its counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law
(including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to
persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by
any governmental regulatory authority or official, and the Pledgor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Security Agent
be liable nor accountable to the Pledgor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. 

Section 9-610 of the UCC states that the Secured Parties are able to purchase the Collateral only if the Collateral is sold at a public
sale. The Pledgor has been advised that staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission have issued various no action letters describing procedures which, in the view of the such staff, permit a default sale of securities to occur in a manner that
is public for purposes of Article 9 of the UCC, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Pledgor has been advised that the UCC permits the Pledgor to agree on the standards for determining whether a Secured
Party has complied with its obligations under Article 9 of the UCC. Pursuant to the UCC, the Pledgor hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to any Secured Party’s purchase of the Collateral (through bidding on
the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a default sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the no action letters promulgated by such staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the
UCC, (2) shall be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that such Secured Party has not registered or sought to register the Collateral under the Securities Act, even if the Pledgor agrees to pay all costs of the registration
process, and (3) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that such Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale. 

The Security Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of any Debt Obligation, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant
to this Section 5.1 conducted as provided in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 5.1. To the extent the sale of a Debt Obligation is conducted as provided in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 5.1, the Pledgor hereby waives
any claims against the Security Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which such Debt Obligation may have been sold at any private sale effected as provided above was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public
sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations. 
 The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under
this Section 5.1 shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.2. 
  

	5.2	Application of Proceeds 

 The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of
all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto (including any amounts on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Custodial Account) shall be deposited into the Collection Account and applied by the Security Agent in the manner and
priority set forth in Section 3.7(g) of the Loan Agreement. 

  
 Page 9 

	5.3	Power of Attorney and Security Agent May Perform 

  

	 	(a)	The Security Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor for the purpose, during any period when the Security Agent is
attempting to sell all or any portion of the Debt Obligations pursuant to Section 5.1(f), of taking any action and executing any instruments which the Security Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement (including with respect to the exercise of any remedies hereunder against the Pledgor), which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with
an interest. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Pledgor fails to perform any of its obligations contained herein, the Security Agent may take such action (acting solely at the direction of the Administrative Agent) to protect the security interest granted
hereunder in the Collateral or to protect the value thereof, but without any requirement to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and the expenses of the Security Agent incurred in connection therewith
shall be payable by the Pledgor. 

  

	6.	Custodial Account and Collection Accounts 

  

	6.1	Collection of Money 

 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, while an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Security Agent shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all Money and other property payable to or receivable by the Security
Agent. All amounts so received or collected shall be deposited in the Collection Accounts. 
  

	6.2	Custodial Account; Collection Accounts 

  

	 	(a)	The Security Agent has specified in the Account Control Agreement that it has established a single, segregated trust account which shall be designated as the Custodial Account (which may include any sub-accounts thereof
established by the Security Agent for administrative purposes), a single, segregated trust account which shall be designated as the Interest Collection Account, and another single, segregated trust account which shall be designated as the Principal
Collection Account, each of which shall be held in the name of the Security Agent and over which, except as expressly provided herein or in the Account Control Agreement, the Security Agent shall have exclusive control and the sole right of
withdrawal. Any reference in this Agreement to the “Custodial Account”, the “Interest Collection Account” or the “Principal Collection Account” shall, unless otherwise expressly provided, include a reference to any
sub-account of the Custodial Account, the Interest Collection Account, and the Principal Collection Account, respectively. 

To the extent that an obligor does not make the applicable payment directly to the Interest Collection Account or the Principal Collection
Account, as the case may be, the Pledgor shall from time to time: (i) deposit into the Interest Collection Account, immediately 

  
 Page 10 

 
upon its receipt thereof, (A) all Interest Proceeds (including all proceeds received from the disposition of any Collateral by the Pledgor, all Collections with respect to the Collateral
and all other funds received by the Pledgor in respect of the Collateral, in each case, that are attributable as Interest Proceeds) and (B) any other amounts that are received by the Pledgor that are not required hereunder to be deposited
into the Principal Collection Account; and (ii) deposit into the Principal Collection Account, immediately upon its receipt thereof, (A) all Principal Proceeds (including all proceeds received from the disposition of any Collateral by the
Pledgor, all Collections with respect to the Collateral and all other funds received by the Pledgor in respect of the Collateral, in each case, that are attributable as Principal Proceeds), (B) any proceeds of any advance made under
Section 2.2 of the Loan Agreement that is not immediately applied to the purchase of a Debt Obligation and (C) any funds contributed in cash to the capital of the Pledgor. 

The provisions of this Section 6.2 are subject to the terms of the Account Control Agreement. 

 

	 	(b)	By Pledgor Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Pledgor (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Pledgor shall at all times direct the Security Agent to invest all funds on deposit in the
Accounts as so directed in Eligible Investments in accordance with Sections 3.7(a) and 3.7(b) of the Loan Agreement. Absent such prior written specific investment direction, all such funds shall be held uninvested. 

 

	 	(c)	On any date on which interest is due and payable under the Loan Agreement (including any Payment Date), the Pledgor shall by Pledgor Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Pledgor, delivered to the Security
Agent, direct the Security Agent to withdraw funds on deposit in the Interest Collection Account and apply such funds to pay interest as required by, and subject to the conditions of, Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.6 and 3.7 of the Loan Agreement.

  

	 	(d)	On any date on which principal is due and payable under the Loan Agreement (including the Scheduled Maturity Date), the Pledgor shall by Pledgor Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Pledgor, delivered to the
Security Agent, direct the Security Agent to withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account and apply such funds to pay principal as required by, and subject to the conditions of, Sections 3.1, 3.6 and 3.7 of the Loan Agreement.

  

	 	(e)	On any date on which any amount (other than principal or interest owing under the Loan Agreement) is due and payable by the Pledgor under the Loan Agreement, the Security Agent shall give the Pledgor written notice of
same, and the Pledgor shall by Pledgor Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Pledgor, delivered to the Security Agent, direct the Security Agent to withdraw funds on deposit in the Collection Accounts and apply such funds to pay such amount
as required by, and subject to the conditions of, Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, 3.13 and 8.1 of the Loan Agreement. 

  

	 	(f)	On any date on which any Equity Restricted Payment is to be made by the Pledgor, the Pledgor may by Pledgor Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Pledgor, delivered to the Security Agent, direct the Security
Agent to withdraw funds on deposit in the Collection Accounts and apply such funds to pay such amount, subject to the conditions of Section 5.1(j) of the Loan Agreement. 

  
 Page 11 

	 	(g)	The Security Agent shall at all times be party to the Account Control Agreement which shall provide, inter alia, that the establishment and maintenance of the Accounts shall be governed by the law of the State of
New York and that the Security Agent agrees to treat all assets credited to the Accounts as Financial Assets for purposes of the UCC. Any and all assets or securities at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Accounts shall be
held for the benefit of the Security Agent. Except in connection with a liquidation pursuant to Section 5, the only permitted withdrawal of assets or securities (other than Cash) from the Accounts or in, or otherwise to the credit of, the
Accounts shall be as directed, upon Pledgor Order, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2, Section 6.3 and Section 6.4. 

  

	 	(h)	The Security Agent agrees to give the Pledgor immediate notice if any Account or any assets or securities on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit thereof, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment,
warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. 

  

	6.3	Release of Security Interest in Collateral 

  

	 	(a)	Upon any sale or other disposition by the Pledgor of the Collateral (or portion thereof) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the pledge, security interest, Lien and right of set-off of
the Security Agent in such Collateral (or the portion thereof which has been sold or otherwise disposed of), and in all Collections and rights with respect to such Collateral (but not in the proceeds of such sale or other disposition), shall,
immediately upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (or such portion), and without any further action on the part of the Security Agent, be released except to the extent of the interest, if any, in such Collateral which is then
retained by the Pledgor or which thereafter reverts to the Pledgor for any reason; provided that the Security Agent shall execute and deliver to the Pledgor any documentation reasonably requested and prepared by the Pledgor (at the
Pledgor’s expense) to effectuate or evidence the foregoing. 

  

	 	(b)	If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which the Security Agent shall have written notice, the Security Agent shall, upon receipt of an Pledgor Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Pledgor or
as otherwise provided by the Account Control Agreement, that is delivered to the Security Agent at least two Business Days prior to the date of delivery directed in such Pledgor Order (or such fewer number of days as the Security Agent may agree),
deliver or cause to be delivered to or on the order of the Pledgor any Instrument included in the Collateral to the related debtor for ultimate sale or exchange or for presentation, collection, enforcement, renewal or registration of transfer;
provided that the Lien of this Agreement on such Instrument remains perfected in accordance with Section 9-312(g) of the UCC and such Instrument shall remain subject to the Lien of this Agreement
unless and until released in accordance with the foregoing clause (a). 

  

	 	(c)	The Security Agent shall hold for the benefit of the Secured Parties all Certificated Securities and Instruments in physical form at the office of a custodian appointed by it (the Security Agent
Custodian). Initially, such Security Agent Custodian shall be Citibank N.A. with its address at 480 Washington Boulevard, 30th Floor, Jersey City, New Jersey 07310. Any successor custodian
shall be a state or national bank or trust company which is not an Affiliate of the Pledgor and has capital and surplus of at least USD100,000,000. 

  
 Page 12 

	6.4	Method of Collateral Transfer 

 The transfer of Collateral to the Security Agent to be
held for the benefit of the Security Agent shall be done in the following manner (with any and all other actions necessary to create in favor of the Security Agent a valid, first-priority security interest in each item of Collateral under applicable
law and regulations (including Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC) in effect at the time of such transfer): 
  

	 	(a)	each time that the Pledgor shall direct or cause the acquisition of any Collateral constituting a Security Entitlement, the Pledgor shall, if such Collateral has not already been transferred to the Custodial Account and
credited thereto, cause the transfer of such Collateral to the Security Agent to be held in and credited to the Custodial Account for the benefit of the Security Agent in accordance with the terms of the Account Control Agreement; 

 

	 	(b)	each time that the Pledgor shall direct or cause the acquisition of any Collateral constituting a Certificated Security or Instrument in physical form, the Security Agent shall hold for the benefit of the Secured
Parties such Certificated Security or Instrument in accordance with Section 6.3(c); and 

  

	 	(c)	the Pledgor shall, within ten days after the date of execution of this Agreement, file, or cause the filing of, all appropriate financing statements covering the Collateral in the proper filing office in the appropriate
jurisdictions under applicable law. 

  

	6.5	Termination 

 Upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all
Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) (and so long as the Reinvestment Period shall have terminated), the Security Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against
receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the Pledgor. The Security Agent shall also execute and deliver to the Pledgor upon such
termination and payment such UCC termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested and prepared by the Pledgor (at the Pledgor’s expense) to effect the termination and release of the pledge, security interest,
Lien and right of set-off granted pursuant to Section 2. 
  

	7.	The Security Agent 

  

	7.1	 The Person serving as the Security Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Secured Party as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Security Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Pledgor or
any Subsidiary or 

  
 Page 13 

	 	
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Security Agent hereunder. 7.2 The Security Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Security Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Security
Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except as directed by the Administrative Agent in writing, and (c) shall not be liable for the failure to disclose any information relating to
the Pledgor or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by it or any of its Affiliates in any capacity (except that the foregoing shall not limit any express obligation hereunder). The Security Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Security Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of
Default or Potential Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Security Agent by the Administrative Agent, and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, opinion, notice, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any
other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Schedule I of the Loan Agreement or elsewhere herein or therein. 

 

	7.3	 The Security Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, opinion, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Security Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Security Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Pledgor), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it, and shall not be liable (absent gross negligence or willful misconduct) for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Security Agent may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting on any written notice, request, waiver, consent, resolution, certificate, order, direction or
other document or instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Security Agent is authorized to act or refrain from acting under this Agreement in accordance with
instructions received by it from the Administrative Agent. In performing its duties under this Agreement, the Security Agent may request further instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by the Administrative
Agent. If the Security Agent does not receive such instructions within five Business Days after its request, the Security Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking a course of action. The Security Agent shall act in
accordance with instructions received after such five Business Day period except to the extent that it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions or acting in accordance with such instructions shall
expose the Security Agent to additional costs, obligations or liabilities, in each case, that are not contemplated in this Agreement or any other Support Document. The Security Agent shall not be bound to make any

  
 Page 14 

	 	
investigation into the facts stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, consent, order, approval, bond or other document or have any responsibility for filing
or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted by any Person under any credit document. 

 

	7.4	The Security Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Security Agent with reasonable
due care. The Security Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Security Agent and any such sub-agent. 

 

	7.5	Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Security Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Security Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Secured Parties and the Pledgor. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, after prior written consent from the Pledgor (not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Security Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Security Agent may, after prior written consent from the Pledgor (not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint a successor
Security Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York City or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Security Agent, such successor Security Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Security Agent and the resigning Security Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Pledgor to a successor Security Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Pledgor and such successor. The provisions of this Section 7 shall continue in effect and survive the termination of this Agreement. 

 

	7.6	Neither the Security Agent nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees shall be liable to the Pledgor, except by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful
misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of their duties hereunder. The Security Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any of its officers. The Security Agent shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized hereby. The Security Agent shall not have any liability for any loss arising from any cause beyond its control, including but not limited to, the act, failure or
neglect of any agent selected with reasonable due care by the Security Agent, except with respect to Affiliates of the Security Agent, or the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising governmental
powers. 

  

	7.7	The Security Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any loss occasioned by delay in the actual receipt of any certificates, opinions, notices, instruments, notices, schedules, agreements or documents nor for any
failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, earthquakes, fires, floods,
wars, civil or military disturbances, sabotage, epidemics, riots, interruptions, loss or malfunctions of external utilities or external communications service, acts or civil or military authority or other governmental actions. 

  
 Page 15 

	7.8	It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Security Agent shall not be required to use, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or the
exercise of any of its rights and powers as Security Agent hereunder (except for the expenses of the Security Agent in performing its duties hereunder). Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall the Security Agent be liable for
special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if it has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

 

	7.9	The Security Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability to evaluate the financial condition of any Person or to review any of the certificates, opinions, instruments, notices, schedules, agreements and
documents delivered to it or to enforce any Person’s obligation to deliver them. 

  

	7.10	The Security Agent shall not be responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Pledgor or the Collateral or in any document, certificate or other writing
delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any
Person or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions related to any Person or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default. The Security Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Person to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by any Person or is cared for, protected or insured or that any liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully
created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers
granted or available with respect thereto.

instructions or directions (including the email addresses of such persons), which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Security Agent and the Security Agent
Custodian email (of .pdf or similar files) (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Security Agent and the Security Agent Custodian in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, their reasonable understanding of such
instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Security Agent and the Security Agent Custodian shall not, in the absence of any bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Security Agent or the Security Agent Custodian, as
the case may be, be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from their reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent
written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Security Agent and the Security Agent Custodian,
including without limitation the risk of the Security Agent and the Security Agent Custodian acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. 

 

	8.2	No Waiver 

 No failure on the part of the Security Agent to exercise, and no course of
dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Security Agent of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  

	8.3	Amendments, Etc. 

 No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will
be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the Pledgor, and the Security Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders); provided that, without the prior written
consent of each Lender, the Security Agent shall not (except as provided herein) release any Collateral or otherwise terminate any Lien hereunder, agree to additional obligations being secured by any Collateral security, alter the relative
priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to the benefits of the Lien created hereunder, except that no such consent shall be required, and the Security Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering property that is the subject of a
disposition of property permitted under the Loan Agreement (as evidenced by an officer’s certificate of the Pledgor). 
 The terms of
this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Pledgor, the Security Agent and the Security Agent Custodian. 

  
 Page 17 

	8.4	Successors and Assigns 

 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Pledgor and the Security Agent. Neither party shall assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such purported
assignment without such consent shall be void. 
  

	8.5	Counterparts 

 This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of
it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by email transmission), each of which will be deemed an original. 
  

	8.6	Governing Law 

 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and this Agreement
and all matters arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York. 

 

	8.7	Jurisdiction 

 With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement
or any matter between the parties arising under or in connection with this Agreement (Proceedings), each party irrevocably: (a) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States
District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City; and (b) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have
been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing
Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction. 
  

	8.8	Waiver of Jury Trial 

 THE PLEDGOR AND THE SECURITY AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

 

	8.9	Captions 

 The captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for
convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. 

  
 Page 18 

	8.10	Agents and Attorneys-in-Fact 

 The Security Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact
in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. 
  

	8.11	Severability 

 If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to either party or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any relevant jurisdiction), the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this
Agreement, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality will not otherwise affect the
enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to
the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be
conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited or unenforceable provision with a valid provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited or
unenforceable provision. 
  

	8.12	Third Party Beneficiaries 

 Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall give
to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement, except Section 5.2 hereof, which shall benefit the Secured Parties.

delivered as of the day and year first above written.
