whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created, or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered

 Pledgor shall
cause the Pledged Entity to agree that, during the term of this Agreement, it will not remove, and will not permit to be removed (upon registration of transfer, reissuance or otherwise), the legend from any such instrument or certificate and will
place or cause to be placed the legend on any new instrument or certificate issued to represent the Pledged Ownership Interest theretofore represented an instrument or certificate carrying a legend. 

  
 - 4 -

 The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation
of a Default, in its discretion and without notice to Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the
right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. 
  

	5.	Representations and Warranties. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants as follows: 

 

	 	a.	Description of Collateral. The Pledged Ownership Interests are fully paid and non-assessable. The Pledged Ownership Interests constitute all of the issued and
outstanding partnership interests of the Pledged Entity owned beneficially or of record by Pledgor. Pledgor does not hold nor does Pledgor have any right to the issuance of any options or other rights to purchase, and is not party to any other
agreement with respect to, and does not hold or have the right to any property that is now or hereafter convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any membership or other ownership interests of the Pledged Entity.

  

	 	b.	Ownership of Collateral. (i) Pledgor is the legal, record, and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Collateral described on
Schedule A free and clear of, and subject to no, pledges, Liens, security interests, charges, options, restrictions or other encumbrances, except the pledge and security interest created by this Agreement, and (ii) Pledgor has the legal
capacity to execute, deliver and perform Pledgor’s obligations under this Agreement and to pledge and grant a security interest in all of the Collateral of which it is the legal or beneficial owner pursuant to this Agreement.

  

	 	c.	Governmental Authorizations. No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for either
(i) the pledge by Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the grant by Pledgor of the security interest granted hereby, (ii) the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement by Pledgor, or (iii) the exercise
by the Administrative Agent of the voting or other rights, or the remedies in respect of the Collateral provided for in this Agreement (except as may be required in connection with a disposition of Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale
of securities generally). 

  

	 	d.	Opt-In to Article 8. With respect to the Pledged Ownership Interests, Pledgor represents and warrants that the Pledged Entity has opted into Article 8 of
the UCC; provided, however, that the Pledged Ownership Interests hereunder shall be deemed “securities” for purposes of UCC compliance only and Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that the act of opting into Article 8 of the UCC
alone does not categorize said interests as “securities” under any federal investment company laws or federal or state securities laws. None of the Collateral is dealt with or traded on any securities exchanges or in any securities
markets. 

  
 - 5 -

	 	e.	Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interest. By reason of the acts taken by Pledgor, the Administrative Agent has a first priority, perfected security
interest in the Collateral, and no further or additional acts are required to create and perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in and lien on the Collateral, and the security interest in and the lien on the Collateral securing
the Administrative Agent is superior in right and priority to any rights or claims of any other Person. This Agreement constitutes an authenticated record, and the Administrative Agent is authorized at all times to file any and all UCC financing
statements determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or desirable to perfect its security interest in the Collateral. 

  

	 	f.	No Other Financing Statements. Other than the UCC financing statements delivered and filed by Pledgor and in connection with securing the Collateral, there is no
financing statement (or similar statement or registration under the laws of any jurisdiction) now on file or registered in any public office covering any interest of Pledgor or any or any other Person in the Collateral or intended so to be.

  

	 	g.	Other Information. All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Administrative Agent by Pledgor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and
complete in all material respects. 

  

	6.	Assurances and Covenants of Pledgor. 

  

	 	a.	Transfers and Other Liens. Pledgor shall not: 

  

	 	i.	sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), pledge, or hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, except to
the Administrative Agent hereunder; or 

  

	 	ii.	create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the Lien created hereunder. 

 

	 	b.	Covenants of Pledgor. Pledgor covenants and agrees that so long as any Secured Obligation is outstanding: 

 

	 	i.	Pledgor shall be the sole member and manager of the Pledged Entity and shall not resign or withdraw as limited partner or managing member or vote for, or agree or
consent to, the admission of any new members to the Pledged Entity. 

  

	 	ii.	Pledgor shall not vote for, or agree or consent to, the sale, transfer, pledge or encumbrance of the Pledged Ownership Interests. 

 

	 	iii.	Pledgor shall not vote for, or agree or consent to, the discontinuance of the business or the dissolution or liquidation of the Pledged Entity.

  

	 	iv.	Pledgor shall not vote for, or agree or consent to, any modifications to the Organizational Documents of the Pledged Entity. 

  
 - 6 -

	 	v.	Pledgor shall not enter into any agreements which restrict, limit or otherwise impair the transferability of the Pledged Ownership Interests. 

 

	 	c.	Additional Collateral. Pledgor shall pledge hereunder, immediately upon Pledgor’s acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional
membership interests of the Pledged Entity. 

  

	 	d.	Pledge Amendments. Pledgor shall, upon obtaining any additional membership interests or other securities required to be pledged hereunder promptly (and in any
event within five (5) Business Days) deliver to the Administrative Agent such documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably may require to confirm the pledge hereunder of such additional collateral; provided that the failure of
Pledgor to execute any such additional documents with respect to any additional Pledged Ownership Interests pledged pursuant to this Agreement shall not impair the security interest of the Administrative Agent therein or otherwise adversely affect
the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect thereto. 

  

	 	e.	Taxes and Assessments. Pledgor shall pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims against, the
Collateral, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and in which reserves or other appropriate provisions have been made or provided therefor; provided that Pledgor shall in
any event pay such taxes, assessments, charges, levies, or claims not later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale under any judgement, writ, or warrant of attachment entered or filed against Pledgor or any of the Collateral
as a result of the failure to make such payment. 

  

	 	f.	Further Assurances. Pledgor shall from time to time, at the expense of Pledgor, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to give full effect to this Agreement and to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or
to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, provided that such further instruments, documents and action are consistent with this Agreement. 

 

	 	g.	Warranty of Title to Collateral. Pledgor covenants that Pledgor will defend its rights and title in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons
whomsoever. Pledgor further covenants that Pledgor will have the like title to and right to pledge and grant a security interest in the Collateral hereafter pledged or in which a security interest is granted to the Administrative Agent, hereunder
and will likewise defend its rights therein. 

  

	 	h.	Good Standing. Pledgor will at all times be duly organized and is, and will at all times be, validly existing, in good standing, and qualified to do business in
each jurisdiction where required. Pledgor will at all times have all requisite power to own its property and conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated. 

  
 - 7 -

	7.	Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc. 

  

	 	a.	So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 

  

	 	i.	Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided, however, subject to the provisions of Section 6(b) hereof; 

 

	 	ii.	Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain, and to utilize free and clear of the Lien of this
Agreement, any and all (A) Distributions, and (B) distributions of capital or other property on or in respect of any of the Pledged Ownership Interests pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the issuer
thereof or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, paid in respect of the Collateral; provided, however, if any such property is distributed in the form of shares of stock or certificates in the Pledged Entity, such shares or certificates
shall be pledged and delivered to the Administrative Agent as provided for in Section 6(c)) (collectively, “Collateral Payments and Distributions”); and 

 

	 	iii.	The Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed, and delivered) to Pledgor all such proxies, dividend payment orders, and other
instruments as Pledgor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i), above, and to receive the Collateral
Payments and Distributions which Pledgor is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii), above. 

  

	 	b.	Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default and after notice from the Administrative Agent (to the extent notice is required under the Loan Documents):

  

	 	i.	upon written notice from the Administrative Agent to Pledgor, all rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be
entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights;

  
 - 8 -

	 	ii.	all rights of Pledgor to receive the Collateral Payments and Distributions which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to
Section 7(a)(ii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such Collateral Payments and Distributions; and

  

	 	iii.	all Collateral Payments and Distributions which are received by Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii) of this Section 7(b) shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

  

	 	c.	In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) and
to receive all Collateral Payments and Distributions which it may be entitled to receive under Section 7(a)(ii) or Section 7(b)(ii), (i) Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the
Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders, and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, and (ii) without limiting the effect of the immediately preceding clause (i), Pledgor
hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Ownership Interests and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges, and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Ownership Interests would be entitled
(including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents of members, calling special meetings of members, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including
any transfer of any Pledged Ownership Interests on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Ownership Interests or any officer or agent thereof). 

 

	 	d.	Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Pledgor agrees that this Agreement shall not in any way be deemed to obligate the Administrative Agent to assume any of
Pledgor’s obligations, duties, expenses, or liabilities arising out of this Agreement unless the Administrative Agent otherwise expressly agrees to assume any or all of said obligations, duties, expenses, or liabilities in writing.

  

	8.	Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, exercisable after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any
instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation: 

  

	 	a.	subsequent to a Default which has not been cured or waived, to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive, and give acquittance and receipts for moneys
due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; 

  
 - 9 -

	 	b.	subsequent to a Default which has not been cured or waived, to receive, endorse, and collect any instruments made payable to Pledgor representing any dividend or other
distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same; and 

  

	 	c.	subsequent to a Default which has not been cured or waived, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem
necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral. 

 

	9.	Standard of Care. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relating to any Collateral,
whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (b) taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care set forth above to maintain possession of the Collateral)
to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral, (c) taking any necessary steps to collect or realize upon the Secured Obligations or any guaranty therefor, or any part thereof, or any of the Collateral, or
(d) initiating any action to protect the Collateral against the possibility of a decline in market value. In no event shall the standard of care imposed upon the Administrative Agent hereunder exceed the minimum applicable standard of care
imposed under Section 9-207 of the UCC. 

  

	10.	Waiver of Defenses; Secured Obligations Not Affected. Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based on: (i) except
for a breach of the standard of care set forth in Section 9, any lack of diligence by the Administrative Agent in collection, protection or realization upon any Collateral; (ii) the failure to make or give notice of presentment and demand
for payment, or failure to make or give protest and notice of dishonor or of default to Pledgor or to any other party with respect to the Secured Obligations; (iii) any exculpation of liability of any party contained in the Loan Documents;
(iv) the failure of the Administrative Agent to perfect any security or to extend or renew the perfection of any security; (v) any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or any right to require the
marshalling of assets of Pledgor; (vi) any fraudulent, illegal or improper act by the Pledged Entity or Pledgor; and (vii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other legal, equitable or suretyship defenses whatsoever to which
Pledgor might otherwise be entitled, it being the intention that the obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable. 

  
 - 10 -

	11.	Remedies. 

  

	 	a.	If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, beyond all applicable grace and cure periods under the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent may exercise
in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral), and the Administrative Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parts at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or at
any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable,
irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, for the purpose of
bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral
payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, and/or appraisal
which Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) Business Days’
notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of
notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which it was so adjourned. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been
obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. 

  

	 	b.	 Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the
“Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such
Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those 

  
 - 11 -

	 	
obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, Pledgor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no
obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if
such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. 

  

	 	c.	If the Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, then, upon the Administrative Agent’s written request, the
Pledged Entity shall furnish to the Administrative Agent such information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request of Pledgor concerning Pledgor and the Collateral granted by Pledgor. 

 

	12.	Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent , be held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral for, and/or then, or at any time thereafter, applied in full or in
part by the Administrative Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority: 

 FIRST: As provided for in the Loan Documents, and all reasonable amounts for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder and all advances made by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of Pledgor; and 
 SECOND: To the payment to or upon the order of Pledgor, or to
whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds. 
  

	13.	Legal Fees, Costs and Expenses. Pledgor further agrees to pay upon demand all Costs reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent, or its successors or
assigns, in connection with enforcing any of the rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or its successors or assigns, under or with respect to this Agreement including, but not limited to, attorneys’ reasonable fees and the
out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of such attorneys. 

  

	14.	 Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loan. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall
(a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations and the cancellation or termination of the Credit Agreement, (b) be binding upon Pledgor, and Pledgor’s legal representatives, successors and
assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its successors, transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing

 - 12 -

	 	
benefits in respect thereof granted to the Administrative Agent herein or otherwise. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall
terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination the Administrative Agent will, at Pledgor’s expense, execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence

otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. 

  

	15.	Amendments, Etc. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Pledgor from the terms
and conditions hereof, shall in any event be effective as to Pledgor unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Pledgor. Any such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. 

  

	16.	Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any power, right, or
privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right, or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or of any other power, right, or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. 

 

	17.	Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

 

	18.	Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 

  

	19.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed
and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all
signature pages are physically attached to the same document. 

  

	20.	 Marshalling. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for (including, but not limited to, this
Agreement and the Collateral), or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. All of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder
and in respect of such security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however 

  
 - 13 -

	 	
existing or arising. To the extent that lawfully permissible, Pledgor hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent will not invoke any law, doctrine, or principle relating to the marshalling of
collateral that might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that Pledgor lawfully may, Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. 

 

	21.	Notices, Etc. Any notice or other communication in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be delivered in accordance with the provisions
of the Credit Agreement. 

  

	22.	Governing Law. This Agreement has been delivered to and accepted by the Administrative Agent and will be deemed to be made in the State of New York.
THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF
THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF
NEW YORK STATE LAW OTHER THAN §5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL

jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent and Pledgor agree that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both the Administrative Agent and Pledgor. The Co-Borrowers waive any objection to venue and any objection based on a more
convenient forum in any action instituted under this Agreement. 

  

	23.	Irrevocable Proxy. With respect to Article 8 Matters, Pledgor hereby irrevocably grants and appoints the Administrative Agent, from the date of this Agreement
until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, as Pledgor’s true and lawful proxy, for and in Pledgor’s name, place and stead to vote the Pledged Ownership Interests in the Pledged Entity by Pledgor, whether directly
or indirectly, beneficially or of record, now owned or hereafter acquired, with respect to such Article 8 Matters. The proxy granted and appointed in this Section 23 shall include the right to sign Pledgor’s name (as sole member and
manager of the Pledged Entity) to any consent, certificate or other document relating to an Article 8 Matter and the Pledged Ownership Interests that applicable law may permit or require, to cause the Pledged Ownership Interests to be voted in
accordance with the preceding sentence. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that there are no other proxies and powers of attorney with respect to an Article 8 Matter and the Pledged Ownership Interests that Pledgor may have granted or appointed.
Pledgor will not give a subsequent proxy or power of attorney or enter into any other voting agreement with respect to the Pledged Ownership Interests with respect to any Article 8 Matter and any attempt to do so with respect to an Article 8 Matter
shall be void and of no effect. THE PROXIES AND POWERS GRANTED BY PLEDGOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND ARE GIVEN TO SECURE THE PERFORMANCE OF PLEDGOR’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

 Schedule A-1Guaranty Agreement

 Exhibit 10.7 
 GUARANTY AGREEMENT 
 This GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of January 31,
2012, executed and delivered by each of the undersigned, whether one or more, (“Guarantor”), in favor of (a) KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders
under that certain Mezzanine Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith by and among THE GC NET LEASE (REDMOND) MEMBER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto and their
assignees in accordance therewith (the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Credit Agreement”) and
(b) the Lenders. 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to the Borrower certain
financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower and Guarantor,
though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts; 
 WHEREAS, Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect benefits from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and 
 WHEREAS, Guarantor’s execution
and delivery of this Guaranty is one of the conditions precedent to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making, or continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower. 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, Guarantor
agrees as follows: 
 Section 1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guaranties the due and
punctual payment and performance of all of the following when due (collectively referred to as the “Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under or
in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the payment of all interest, fees,
charges, reasonable attorneys fees and other amounts payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent thereunder or in connection therewith (including any Hedging Agreement) in each case without regard to any cross default or cross
collateralization contained therein; (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; and (c) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements,
that are incurred by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder. This 

  
 1 

 
Guaranty shall be deemed pari passu with that certain Amended and Restated Guaranty dated November 18, 2011 executed by the Guarantor in favor of KeyBank National Association, as
administrative agent under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 18, 2011 entered into by certain subsidiaries of the Guarantor as Borrower. 
 Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy the Lenders or the Administrative Agent may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or
any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or
any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent which may secure any of
the Obligations. In this connection, Guarantor hereby waives the right of such Guarantor to require any holder of the Obligations to take action against the Borrower as provided by any legal requirement of any Governmental Authority. 

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any legal requirement now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional in accordance with its terms 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 the full and final payment and performance of the Obligations), including, without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof): 

(a)(i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Obligations; (ii) any change in the time,
place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Obligations; (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or
instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligations; or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing; 

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or
agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing; 
 (c) any
furnishing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security for the Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral security for the Obligations; 

  
 2 

 (d) any settlement or compromise of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or any
liability of any other party with respect to the Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower; 
 (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any other Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Person, or any action
taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding; 
 (f) any
nonperfection of any security interest or other Lien on any of the collateral securing any of the Obligations; 
 (g) any act or
failure to act by the Borrower or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty; 

(h) any application of sums paid by the Borrower or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid; 
 (i) any defect, limitation
or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof; or 
 (j) any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor hereunder. 
 Section 4. Action with
Respect to Obligations. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent may in accordance with the Credit Agreement, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its
obligations hereunder take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of
payment of any of the Obligations or the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with
all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower or
any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor); and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Obligations in such order as the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall elect in accordance with the
Credit Agreement. 
 Section 5. Intentionally Omitted. 

Section 6. Intentionally Omitted 
 Section 7. Waiver. Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any
other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

  
 3 

 Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Administrative Agent and/or the
Lenders are prevented from demanding or accelerating payment thereof by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which
otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred. 
 Section 9. Reinstatement of Obligations.
Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, with respect to any Obligations if at any time payment of any such Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be restored by the Administrative
Agent and/or the Lenders upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor or otherwise. 

Section 10. Subrogation. Until all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, any right of subrogation a
Guarantor may have shall be subordinate to the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Guarantor hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against the
Borrower, and Guarantor hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to secure payment or performance of any of the Obligations. 

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Indemnified Taxes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Other Taxes (as defined in the Credit Agreement); provided that if any Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent or any Lender (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) such Guarantor shall make such deductions; and (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) in accordance with applicable law. 
 Section 12. Set-off. Guarantor hereby
grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, a security interest in and lien on all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by Administrative Agent to
or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding any funds held by the Borrower on behalf of tenants or held by affiliates of Borrower or Guarantor on
behalf of third parties) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this
Guaranty held by such Lender then due and payable. Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the applicable provisions of
the Credit Agreement, may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

  
 4 

 Section 13. Subordination. Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or any other Guarantor to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such
Guarantor from the Borrower or any other Guarantor (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations; provided, however, that payment thereof may be made so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower or
any other Guarantor on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full. 
 Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall
equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or unenforceable against
such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of applicable law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or
fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The applicable laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such
Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions.” Accordingly, to the extent that the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of
the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to
avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be
subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person
under the Avoidance Provisions. 
 Section 15. Information. Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, of the other Guarantors and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such
Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks. 

  
 5

ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

and federal courts in Boston, Massachusetts and in New York, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal
court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty
shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document against the Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 (b) Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(c) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Administrative Agent may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal,
interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of Obligation or otherwise, the entries in such account shall be binding upon
Guarantor as to the outstanding amount of such Obligations and the amounts paid and payable with respect thereto absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or
discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder. 

  
 6 

 Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of
any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy. 

Section 20. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be deemed to
include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to any Guarantor shall be deemed
to include the Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any
Obligation, or grant or sell participation in any Obligations, to any Person or entity without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Guarantor hereby
consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any assignee, transferee or participant of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. Guarantor may not assign or transfer its obligations
hereunder to any Person. 
 Section 21. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except as provided in the
Credit Agreement. 
 Section 22. Payments. All payments made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be

OBLIGATIONS UNDER OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given as provided in the Loan Agreement. Guarantor’s address for notice is set forth below its signature hereto. 
 Section 25. Severability. In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
