 7 

 
to exercise all voting and corporate, partnership or membership rights, as applicable, with respect to the Collateral; provided, that no vote shall be
cast or corporate, partnership or membership right exercised or other action taken which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent in any material respect with or result in
any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents or this Pledge Agreement. 
 SECTION 9. Rights of the
Administrative Agent. 
 (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its
intent to exercise such rights to the Pledgors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and partnership or membership distributions, as applicable, in respect
of the Partnership/LLC Interests and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) all shares of the Pledged Stock and the Partnership/LLC Interests shall be
registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate, partnership, membership and other rights pertaining to such shares of the Pledged
Stock or Partnership/LLC Interests at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members of the applicable Issuer or Partnership/LLC or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or
options pertaining to such shares of the Pledged Stock or Partnership/LLC Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock or Partnership/LLC
Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of the applicable Issuer or Partnership/LLC, or upon the exercise by the Pledgors or the Administrative Agent of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to such shares of the Pledged Stock or the Partnership/LLC Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock or the Partnership/LLC Interests with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no
duty to the Pledgors to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In furtherance thereof, each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer or Partnership/LLC with
respect to any Collateral consisting of Pledged Stock or Partnership/LLC Interests to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Pledge Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer or Partnership/LLC shall be fully protected in so
complying, and (ii) upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if requested by the Administrative Agent, pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to any Pledged Stock or Partnership/LLC Interests directly to
the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon
the pursuit by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy against the Pledgors or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any collateral security therefor,
guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall
the Administrative Agent be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Pledgors or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

 SECTION 10. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may
exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Pledge Agreement and in any other 

  

 8 

 
instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or any other
Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing with regard to the scope of the Administrative Agent’s remedies, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except any notice required by any Applicable Law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgors, any Issuer, any Partnership/LLC or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby
waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral
or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right
upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by any Applicable Law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgors,
which right or equity is hereby waived or released. To the extent permitted by any Applicable Law, the Pledgors waive all claims, damages and demands they may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them
of any rights hereunder, other than claims arising out of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by any Applicable Law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. 
 SECTION 11. Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-In-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in
its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Pledge Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
Pledge Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice to or assent by such Pledgor, to do any or all of the
following upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default: 
 (i) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or
placed on or threatened against the Collateral; 
 (ii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in this Pledge
Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(B) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (C) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as
the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (D) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, 

  

 9 

 
at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative
Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Security Interests therein and to effect the intent of this Pledge Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such
Pledgor might do. 
 (b) If any Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at
its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11(a). 
 (c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Pledge Agreement shall be payable by
the Pledgors to the Administrative Agent on demand. 
 (d) Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by virtue hereof in accordance with Section 11(a). All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Pledge Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Pledge Agreement is terminated and the
Security Interests created hereby are released. 
 (e) Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative
Agent under this Pledge Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or
resulting or arising out of this Pledge Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as
between the Administrative Agent and the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Pledgor shall be under any
obligation, or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
 SECTION 12. Registration Rights; Private Sales.

 (a) The Pledgors recognize that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgors acknowledge and agree that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less
favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to
delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the applicable Issuer or Partnership/LLC to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the
applicable Issuer or Partnership/LLC would agree to do so. 
 (b) The Pledgors further agree to use their best efforts to do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 12 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other Applicable Law. The Pledgors further
agree that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 12 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not compensable in damages, that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no adequate
remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in 

  

 10 

 
this Section 12 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgors, and the Pledgors hereby waive and agree not to assert any defenses
against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 13. Amendments, etc. With Respect to the Obligations. The Pledgors shall remain obligated hereunder, and the Collateral shall remain subject to the Lien granted hereby, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights
against the Pledgors, and without notice to or further assent by the Pledgors, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of
the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of the Pledgors or any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in
whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and
delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or part, as the Lenders (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee, right of offset or other
collateral security at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to
protect, secure, perfect or insure any other Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto. The Pledgors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations
and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Pledge Agreement; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Pledge
Agreement; and all dealings between the Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement. The
Pledgors waive diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Pledgors with respect to the Obligations. 
 SECTION 14. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Pledgors hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the Pledgors by the Administrative Agent, or the receipt of any
amounts by the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral, the Pledgors shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent against the Borrower or any guarantor or against any other collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Pledgors seek any reimbursement from the Borrower or any guarantor in respect of payments made by the Pledgors in connection with the Collateral, or amounts
realized by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Collateral, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments terminated. If any amount shall be paid to
the Pledgors on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Pledgors in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of the
Pledgors, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Pledgors, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Pledgors (duly indorsed by the Administrative Agent, if required) to be applied against the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in such order as set forth in the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 15. Limitation on Duties Regarding
Collateral. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same
manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar securities and property for its own account. Neither the 

  

 11 

 
Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Pledgors or otherwise. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers. Each of the Administrative Agent
and each Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or
failure to act hereunder, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. 
 SECTION 16. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining shall be paid over to the Borrower, on behalf of the Pledgors, or to whomsoever (if such
Person is not a Pledgor) may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Only after (a) payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-608 and
Section 9-615 of the Code and (b) the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, shall the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Pledgor, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive
the same (if such Person is not a Pledgor). The Administrative Agent may make distribution hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof. 
 SECTION 17. Waiver, Deficiency. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, 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 Pledge Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof. Each Pledgor shall
remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect
such deficiency. 
 SECTION 18. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Pledgor (any such notice being expressly waived by each Pledgor), to setoff and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of
such Pledgor or any other Credit Party against any and all obligations of such Pledgor or such other Credit Party now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Affiliate, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Pledgor or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or
office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after
any such setoff and application; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
  

 12 

 SECTION 19. All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations
granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as
any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated. 
 SECTION 20. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 21. Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Pledge Agreement
are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Pledge Agreement. 
 SECTION 22. No Waiver by Course of
Conduct, Cumulative Remedies. No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no
course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Pledge Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No remedy, right or power conferred upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, right or power given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, and all such remedies, rights and powers shall be cumulative. 
 SECTION 23.
Amendments, Waivers and Consents. No term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Pledge Agreement may be amended or waived, nor may any consent be given, except in the manner set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

 SECTION 24. Expenses and Indemnification. 
 (a) The Pledgors shall, jointly and severally, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender to the
extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) The Pledgors shall,
jointly and severally, pay and indemnify each indemnified party (which for purposes of this Agreement shall include, without limitation, all Lenders) against Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so
pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (c) The Pledgors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each indemnified
party to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (d) All amounts
due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. 
 SECTION 25. Injunctive Relief; Punitive or Indirect
Damages. 
 (a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, in the event such Pledgor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or
liabilities under this Pledge Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent and the 

  

 13 

 
Lenders. Therefore, each Pledgor agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, at the Required Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to seek
temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent
and the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or
claim to punitive or exemplary damages that it may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through arbitration or judicially. 
 (c) Without limiting the generality of any provisions set forth herein relating to indemnification or reimbursement by the Borrower or any other Credit
Party, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of any consequential or indirect damages against any other party to a Loan Document, and each
such Person hereby waives any right or claim to consequential or indirect damages that it may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through arbitration or judicially. 
 SECTION 26. Successor and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Pledgor and shall inure to the
benefit of each Pledgor (and shall bind all Persons who become bound as a Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Pledge Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 
 SECTION 27. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process. 
 (a) Governing Law. This
Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless otherwise expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without reference to the conflicts or choice of law
principles thereof. 
 (b) Jurisdiction. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (and any courts from which an appeal from any of such courts must or may be taken), in any action, claim or other proceeding arising out of any dispute in connection with this Pledge
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of a summons and complaint and other process in any
action, claim or proceeding brought by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations,
on behalf of itself or its property, in the manner specified in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted by Applicable Law or affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring any action or proceeding against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any other jurisdictions. 
 (c) Venue. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives any objection it may have now or in the future to the laying of venue in the aforesaid
jurisdiction in any action, claim or other proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Pledge Agreement, any other Loan Document or the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder or thereunder. Each Pledgor irrevocably waives, in
connection with such action, claim or proceeding, any plea or claim that the action, claim or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
  

 14 

 SECTION 28. Binding Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) Binding Arbitration. Upon demand of any party, whether made before or after institution of any judicial proceeding, any Dispute arising out of,
connected with or relating to this Pledge Agreement between or among parties hereto and to the other Loan Documents shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided herein. Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does not waive the right
of that party to demand arbitration hereunder. Disputes may include, without limitation, tort claims, counterclaims, claims brought as class actions, claims arising from Loan Documents executed in the future, disputes as to whether a matter is
subject to arbitration, or claims concerning any aspect of the past, present or future relationships arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents. Arbitration shall be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Financial Disputes
Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and the Federal Arbitration Act. All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in Charlotte, North Carolina. The
expedited procedures set forth in Rule 51, et seq. of the Arbitration Rules shall be applicable to claims of less than $1,000,000. All applicable statutes of limitations shall apply to any Dispute. A judgment upon the award may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary, any arbitration proceeding demanded hereunder shall begin within ninety (90) days after such demand thereof and shall be concluded within one hundred twenty
(120) days after such demand. These time limitations may not be extended unless a party hereto shows cause for extension and then such extension shall not exceed a total of sixty (60) days. The panel from which all arbitrators are selected
shall be comprised of licensed attorneys selected from the Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration Panel of the AAA. The single arbitrator selected for expedited procedure shall be a retired judge from the highest court of general jurisdiction,
state or federal, of the state where the hearing will be conducted. The parties hereto do not waive any applicable Federal or state substantive law except as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not apply to any
Hedging Agreement. 
 (b) Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY
AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION THEY HAVE IRREVOCABLY WAIVED THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. 
 (c)
Preservation of Certain Remedies. Notwithstanding the preceding binding arbitration provisions, the parties hereto and the other Loan Documents preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that such Persons may employ or exercise freely,
either alone, in conjunction with or during a Dispute. Each such Person shall have and hereby reserves the right to proceed in any court of proper jurisdiction or by self help to exercise or prosecute the following remedies, as applicable:
(i) all rights to foreclose against any real or personal property or other security by exercising a power of sale granted in the Loan Documents or under Applicable Law or by judicial foreclosure and sale, including a proceeding to confirm the
sale, (ii) all rights of self help including peaceful occupation of property and collection of rents, set off, and peaceful possession of property, (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies including injunctive relief,
sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment of receiver and in filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, and (iv) when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Preservation of these remedies does not limit the power of an
arbitrator to grant similar remedies that may be requested by a party in a Dispute. 
  

 15 

 SECTION 29. Notices. All notices and communications hereunder shall be given to the addresses and
otherwise in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 30. Control Agreement; Acknowledgement by
Issuers. 
 (a) The Pledgors hereby authorize and instruct each Issuer and Partnership/LLC to comply, and each Issuer and Partnership/LLC
hereby agrees to so comply, with any instruction received thereby from the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Pledge Agreement with respect to the Collateral, without any consent or further instructions from the Pledgors (or
other registered owner), and the Pledgors agree that such Issuer and such Partnership/LLC shall be fully protected in so complying. Each Issuer and Partnership/LLC agrees that its agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall be sufficient to
create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, “control” of the Partnership/LLC Interests within the meaning of such term under Sections 8-106(c) and 9-106 of the Code. (Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
in this Pledge Agreement is intended or shall be construed to mean or imply that the Partnership/LLC Interests constitute “securities” within the meaning of such term under Section 8-102(a)(15) of the Code or otherwise to limit or
modify the application of Section 8-103(c) of the Code. Rather, the Administrative Agent has requested that this provision be included in this Pledge Agreement solely out of an abundance of caution in the event the Partnership/LLC Interests
are, nevertheless, deemed to constitute “securities” under the Code.) 
 (b) Each Issuer and Partnership/LLC acknowledges receipt
of a copy of this Pledge Agreement and agrees to be bound thereby and to comply with the terms thereof insofar as such terms are applicable to it. Each Issuer and Partnership/LLC agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly in writing of the
occurrence of any of the events described in Section 7(c) of this Pledge Agreement. Each Issuer and Partnership/LLC further agrees that the terms of Section 12 of this Pledge Agreement shall apply to it with respect to all
actions that may be required of it under or pursuant to or arising out of Section 12 of this Pledge Agreement. 
 SECTION 31.
Concerning the Administrative Agent. The provisions of Article XI of the Credit Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent in respect of this Pledge Agreement and shall be binding upon the Pledgors and the
Lenders. In furtherance and not in derogation of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Administrative Agent therein set forth: 
 (a)
The Administrative Agent is authorized to take all such action as is provided to be taken by it as Administrative Agent hereunder and all other action incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for herein, the Administrative Agent
may request instructions from the Lenders and shall act or refrain from acting in accordance with written instructions from the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required by this Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement, all the Lenders) or, in
the absence of such instructions, in accordance with its discretion. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the
existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the security interests therein purported to be granted by this Pledge Agreement, whether impaired by operation of law or by
reason of any action or omission to act on its part (other than any such action or inaction constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct). The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance
of any of the terms of this Pledge Agreement by the Pledgors. 
 SECTION 32. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Pledge
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns,
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Pledge Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on 

  

 16 

 
the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Pledge Agreement by telecopy or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement. This Pledge Agreement shall remain in effect through and including the date upon which
all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and the Commitments terminated. 
 SECTION 33.
Survival of Indemnities. Notwithstanding any termination of this Pledge Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Section 24 and any other provision of this
Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before. 
 SECTION 34. Advice of Counsel, No Strict Construction. Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Pledge
Agreement with its counsel. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Pledge Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Pledge Agreement shall be construed as
if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Pledge Agreement. 
 SECTION 35. Acknowledgements. Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that: 
 (a) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Pledgor arising out of or in connection with this Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the
relationship between the Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
 (b) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the
Lenders or among the Pledgors and the Lenders. 
 SECTION 36. Releases. At such time as the Obligations shall have been paid in full
and the Commitments have been terminated, this Pledge Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Pledgor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any
instrument or performance of any act by any party. Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to each Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence
such termination, and such Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its reasonable request, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 SECTION 37. Additional Pledgors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Pledge Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.11 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Pledgor for all purposes of this Pledge Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a supplement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
