 (b)        Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable law, including applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors; provided that, to the maximum extent permitted under

 (c)        Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by it hereunder may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without
impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder. 
  

 -11- 

 (d)        The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall
remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (i) the first date on which all the Loans, all other Borrower Obligations then due and owing, and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 then due and owing shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower
Obligations, (ii) as to any Guarantor, the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (to a Person other than the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) as permitted under the Credit Agreement or (iii) as to any
Guarantor, the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 (e)        No payment
made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by
virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of any of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the
liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of any of
the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations of the Borrower guaranteed by it hereunder up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the earliest to occur of (i) the first date on which all the Loans,

Guarantor hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of subsection 2.3. The provisions of this subsection 2.2 shall in no respect
limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such
Guarantor hereunder. 
 2.3        No Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment made
by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be
entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties by the Borrower on
account of the Borrower Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been
paid in full in cash or any of the Commitments shall remain in effect, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith
upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over 

  

 -12- 

 
to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be held as
collateral security for all of the Borrower Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) guaranteed by such Guarantor and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied against any Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as
the Collateral Agent may determine. 
 2.4        Amendments, etc. with Respect to the
Obligations.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any
Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party and
any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of 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, waived, modified, accelerated, compromised, subordinated, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit

Secured Party for the payment of any of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for any of the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto, except to the extent required by applicable law.

 2.5        Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.  Each Guarantor waives, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; each of the Borrower Obligations, and any obligation contained therein, shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent,
the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to any of the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor
understands and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to

occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement. If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in
subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement, any Proceeds constituting payments or other cash proceeds of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, when collected by such Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business
Days of receipt by such Grantor) deposited in, or otherwise transferred by such Grantor to, the Collateral Proceeds Account, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in subsection 6.5, and
(ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. All Proceeds constituting collections or other cash proceeds of Accounts
Receivable constituting Collateral while held by the Collateral Account Bank (or by any Grantor in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations and
shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. At any time when an Event of Default specified in subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, at the Collateral Agent’s election, each of
the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of the funds on deposit in the Collateral Proceeds Account established by the relevant Grantor to the payment of the Obligations of such Grantor then due and owing, such
application to be made as set forth in subsection 6.5. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the funds on deposit in the Collateral Proceeds Account shall be remitted as provided in subsection 6.1(d). 
 (c)        At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default specified in subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement, at the Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent copies or, if required by the Collateral Agent for the enforcement thereof or foreclosure
thereon, originals of all documents held by such Grantor evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, including, without limitation, all statements
relating to such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral and all orders, invoices and shipping receipts. 
  

 -27- 

 (d)        So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Collateral Account Bank to promptly remit any funds on deposit in each Grantor’s Collateral Proceeds Account to such Grantor’s General Fund Account or any other account designated by such
Grantor. In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent and the Granting Parties agree that the Collateral Agent, at its option, may require that each Collateral Proceeds Account and the General Fund
Account of each Grantor be established at the Collateral Agent. Each Grantor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to withdraw such of its own funds from its own General Fund Account, and to maintain such balances in its General
Fund Account, as it shall deem to be necessary or desirable. 
 6.2        Communications with
Obligors; Granting Parties Remain Liable. 
 (a)        The Collateral Agent in its own name or
in the name of others, may at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement, communicate with obligors under the Accounts Receivable and
parties to the Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts Receivable or Contracts. 
 (b)        Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default specified in subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall notify obligors on such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable and parties to such Grantor’s Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting
Collateral) that such Accounts Receivable and such Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent. 

(c)        Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of
such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. None of the Collateral Agent, the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account Receivable (or any agreement
giving rise thereto) to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to
enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. 
 6.3        Pledged Stock. 
 (a)        Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Pledgor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise
its corresponding rights pursuant to subsection 6.3(b), each Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Stock (subject to the last two sentences of subsection 5.3.1 of this Agreement)
and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Stock; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or
corporate right exercised or such other action taken (other than in connection with a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement) which, in the 

  

 -28- 

 
Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, would materially impair the Pledged Stock or the related rights or remedies of the Secured Parties or which
would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (b)        If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors, (i) the
Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative, acting as agent for the Collateral Agent, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid
in respect of the Pledged Stock and make application thereof to the Obligations of the relevant Pledgor in such order as is provided in subsection 6.5, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or the Secured Party Representative, or the respective nominee of either thereof, as applicable, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative, or the respective nominee of either
thereof, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or
Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Stock 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 upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the relevant Pledgor
or the Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the right to
deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, in
accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, may reasonably determine), all without liability (other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent
or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, provided that the Collateral Agent or
the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, shall not exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock in any way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in subsection 6.6 other than in
accordance with subsection 6.6. 
 (c)        Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each
Issuer or maker of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Pledgor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
(y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer or maker shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless
otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Agent. 
 6.4        Proceeds To Be Turned Over to the Collateral Agent.  In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties specified in subsection 6.1 with
respect to payments of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and the Collateral Agent shall have instructed any Grantor to do so, all Proceeds of Security Collateral received by such
Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other Cash Equivalent items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereto, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties (as defined in the
U.S. ABL Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), any Additional Agent and the other applicable Additional Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) 

  

 -29- 

 
or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, segregated from other funds of such Grantor,
and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, any Additional Agent or the Secured Party Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement (or their respective agents appointed for purposes of perfection), in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, any Additional Agent or the Secured Party
Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if required). All Proceeds of Security Collateral received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the relevant Collateral
Proceeds Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds of Security Collateral while held by the Collateral Agent in such Collateral Proceeds Account (or by the relevant Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations of such Grantor and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in subsection 6.5. 
 6.5        Application of Proceeds.  It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, any and all Proceeds of the relevant Granting Party’s Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) received by the Collateral Agent (whether from the relevant Granting Party or otherwise) shall be held by the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party (whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, be applied by the
Collateral Agent against the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party then due and owing in the order of priority set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 6.6        Code and Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise,
in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Granting Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances, forthwith (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Security Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith, subject to any existing
reserved rights or licenses, sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Security 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, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party 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 Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Security
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in such Granting Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Granting Party further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request (subject to the terms of any
documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing), to assemble the Security Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Granting Party’s premises or
elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or
safekeeping of any of the Security Collateral or in any way relating to the Security Collateral or the rights of the Collateral 
  

 -30- 

 
Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or
in part of the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party then due and owing, in the order of priority specified in subsection 6.5 above, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by
any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the Code, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such Granting Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) such Granting Party
waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Security Collateral, other than any such claims, damages and demands that may
arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Security Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall
be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 
 6.7        Registration Rights. 
 (a)        If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to subsection 6.6, and if in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent it
is necessary or reasonably advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Pledgor will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to
(i) execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion
of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement relating
thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not more than one year from the date of the first public offering of such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the
related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable
thereto. Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all states and the District of Columbia that the Collateral Agent shall
reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. 
 (b)        Such Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all
such Pledged Stock, 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. Such Pledgor acknowledges and agrees 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, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act,
or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. 
 (c)        Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable 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 such Pledged
Stock pursuant 

  

 -31- 

 
to this subsection 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Such Pledgor further agrees that a breach
of any of the covenants contained in this subsection 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Collateral 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 this subsection 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees 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 or is continuing under the Credit Agreement. 
 6.8        Waiver; Deficiency. Each Granting Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Security Collateral are insufficient to pay in
full, the Loans and, to the extent then due and owing, all other Obligations of such Granting Party and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

 SECTION 7        THE COLLATERAL AGENT 
 7.1        Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. 
 (a)        Each Granting Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any
authorized 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 Granting Party and in the name of such Granting Party or in its
own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that the Collateral Agent agrees not to exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law), (x) each Pledgor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without
notice or assent by such Pledgor, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in subsection 6.6 or 6.7, any indorsements, assessments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral, and
(y) each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following: 
      (i)        subject to the terms of any documentation governing any
Special Purpose Financing, in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account Receivable
of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Security Collateral of such Grantor and file any claim or take any other action or institute any proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the
Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account Receivable of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor whenever payable; 
      (ii)       in the case of any Copyright, Patent, or Trademark
constituting Collateral of such Grantor, execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to such Grantor to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’
security interest in such Copyright, Patent, or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; 
  

 -32- 

      (iii)     pay or discharge taxes
and Liens, other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, levied or placed on the Security Collateral of such Grantor, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any
part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and 
      (iv)     subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing, (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Security Collateral of such
Grantor to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys,
claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Security Collateral of such Grantor; (C) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,
drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Security Collateral of such Grantor; (D) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of
competent jurisdiction to collect the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Security Collateral of such Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against
such Grantor with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor; (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the
Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (G) subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses, assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark constituting Collateral of such Grantor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such
Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with
respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Security Collateral of such Grantor as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such
Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Security Collateral of such Grantor and the Collateral Agent’s and the other
Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. 
 (b)        The reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal
to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due ABR Loans, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Granting Party, shall be payable by such Granting Party to the Collateral
Agent on demand. 
 (c)        Each Granting Party hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable as to the relevant Granting Party until this Agreement is terminated as to such
Granting Party, and the security interests in the Security Collateral of such Granting Party created hereby are released. 
 7.2        Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Security Collateral in its possession, under
Section 9-207 of 

  

 -33- 

 
the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the
Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Security Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be
under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Security Collateral upon the request of any Granting Party or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Security
Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Security Collateral and shall
not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of
such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Granting Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. 
 7.3        Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each
Granting Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to such Granting Party’s Security Collateral without the signature of such Granting Party
in such form and in such filing offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Granting Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to use any
collateral description reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent, including the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” in any such financing statements. The Collateral Agent agrees to notify the
relevant Granting Party of any financing or continuation statement filed by it; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such filing. 
 7.4        Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Granting Party acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy
provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such
other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Granting Parties the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with
full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Granting Party shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
 7.5        Right of Inspection. Upon reasonable written advance notice to any Grantor and as often as may
reasonably be desired, or at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and
records of such Grantor, and the Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the same, and to the extent reasonable take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and such Grantor agrees to render to the Collateral Agent, at such
Grantor’s reasonable cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Collateral Agent and its representatives shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance written notice to such
Grantor subject to any lease restrictions, to enter during normal business hours into and upon any premises owned, leased or operated by such Grantor where any of such Grantor’s Inventory or Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting
the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein.

 SECTION 8        NON-LENDER SECURED PARTIES 
 8.1        Rights to Collateral. 
 (a)        The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not have any right whatsoever to do any of the following:
(i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral (such term, as used in this Section 8, having the meaning assigned to it in the Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, the right to (A) enforce any Liens or
sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral, (B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any voting rights, give any instructions, make any election, notice account debtors or make collections with respect to
all or any portion of the Collateral or (C) release any Guarantor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document or consent to or otherwise approve any such release; (ii) demand, accept or obtain any
Lien on any Collateral (except for Liens arising under, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement); (iii) vote in any Bankruptcy Case or similar proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (any such proceeding, for
purposes of this clause (a), a “Bankruptcy”) with respect to, or take any other actions concerning the Collateral; (iv) receive any proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral (except in
accordance with this Agreement); (v) oppose any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral; (vi) object to any debtor-in-possession financing in any Bankruptcy which is provided by one or more Lenders among others (including on
a priming basis under Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code); (vii) object to the use of cash collateral in respect of the Collateral in any Bankruptcy; or (viii) seek, or object to the Lenders seeking on an equal and ratable basis,
any adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Collateral in any Bankruptcy. 
 (b)        Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, agrees that in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, with the consent of the Collateral Agent, may enforce the provisions of the Security Documents and exercise remedies thereunder and under any other Loan Documents (or refrain from enforcing rights
and exercising remedies), all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole business judgment. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to collect, sell, dispose of or
otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other realization and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code
of any applicable jurisdiction. The Non-Lender Secured Parties by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents hereby agree not to contest or otherwise challenge any such collection, sale, disposition or other
realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral. Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or other disposition of any property, business or assets of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document in connection therewith. 
 (c)        Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 8.1, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in
opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings (A) in order to prevent any Person from seeking to foreclose on the Collateral or supersede the Non-Lender Secured Parties’ claim thereto or (B) in opposition to
any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Non-Lender Secured Parties. 
 (d)        Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefit of this Agreement, agrees that the

 8.2        Appointment of Agent. Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this
Agreement and the other Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to make, constitute and appoint the Collateral Agent, as agent under the Credit Agreement (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such
Person’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person’s name or otherwise, to effectuate
any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable. It is understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent has appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent for purposes of perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise carrying out
certain of its obligations hereunder. 
 8.3        Waiver of Claims. To the maximum extent
permitted by law, each Non-Lender Secured Party waives any claim it might have against the Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight
whatsoever on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral
(including, without limitation, any such exercise described in subsection 8.1(b) above), except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. None of the Collateral Agent, any Lender
or 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 Borrower any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to take any other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof,
except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. 
 SECTION
9        MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1        Amendments in
Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Granting Party and the Collateral Agent; provided that
(a) any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Granting Party may be waived by the Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent, (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection 10.1
of the Credit Agreement, no such waiver and no such amendment or modification shall amend, modify or waive the definition of “Secured Party” or subsection 6.5 if such waiver, amendment, or modification would adversely affect a Secured
Party without the written consent of each such affected Secured Party and (c) any waiver, amendment or modification the result of which would adversely affect the interests of THD shall require the written consent of THD. For the avoidance of
doubt, it is understood and agreed that any amendment, amendment and restatement, waiver, supplement or other modification of or to the Intercreditor Agreement that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference herein to the
Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise modifying this Agreement, or any term or provision hereof, or any right or obligation of any Granting Party hereunder or in respect hereof, shall not be given
such effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by each affected Granting Party and the Collateral Agent in accordance with this subsection 9.1. 
  

 -36- 

 9.2        Notices. All notices, requests and demands to
or upon the Collateral Agent or any Granting Party hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed
to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1, unless and until such Guarantor shall change such address by notice to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent given in accordance with subsection 10.2 of the
Credit Agreement. 
 9.3        No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. None of
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in
any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 
 9.4        Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. 
 (a)        Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent for all their respective reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting
against any Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement against such Guarantor and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent. 
 (b)        Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, (x) any and all liabilities
with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Security Collateral or in connection with any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), in each case to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 10.5 of the Credit
Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. 
 (c)        The agreements in this subsection 9.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts
payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 9.5        Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Granting Parties, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Granting Party may assign, transfer
or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. 
  

 -37- 

 9.6        Set-Off. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time without notice to such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each
Guarantor and by the Borrower, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement so long as any amount remains unpaid after it becomes due
and payable by such Guarantor hereunder, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than the Collateral Proceeds Account), in any currency, and
any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured
Party to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may elect. The Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other
Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party under this subsection 9.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including,
without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may have. 
 9.7        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall
be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 
 9.8        Severability. Any provision
of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; provided that, with respect to any Pledged Stock issued by a Foreign Subsidiary, all rights, powers and
remedies provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that they do not violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any such Pledged Stock or affecting the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement against the Pledgor (such laws, rules or regulations, “Applicable Law”) and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement
invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law. 
 9.9        Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in
the interpretation hereof. 
 9.10      Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the entire agreement of the Granting Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by
the Granting Parties, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH

the same; 
 (c)        agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be
effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address referred to in subsection 9.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent and
the Administrative Agent (in the case of any other party hereto) or the Borrower (in the case of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent) shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

 9.17      Judgment. 
 (a)        If for the purpose of
obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at
which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Collateral Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given. 
 (b)        The obligations of any Guarantor in respect of this Agreement to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit
of each holder of Secured Obligations, shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which the sum originally due to such holder is denominated (the “original
currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Collateral Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency, the Collateral Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase the original currency with the judgment currency; if the amount of the original currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such holder in the original currency, such Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of such holder, against such loss, and if the amount of the original currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Agent agrees to remit to the Borrower, such excess. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Currency Agreements, Commodities Agreements or Bank Products Agreements, only to the extent comprising Cash Flow Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement))” after the reference therein to “any Lender”. 
 SECTION TWO          Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective when the
Collateral Agent shall have executed a counterpart of this Amendment and received counterparts of this Amendment executed by each of the Granting Parties. 
 SECTION THREE       Reference to and Effect on the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. On and after giving effect to this Amendment, each reference in the Guarantee and

counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. 
 SECTION SIX         Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE
