and Patents that do not constitute Material Intellectual Property) is required to be delivered under the Credit Agreement of the
following Intellectual Property such Grantor owns, licenses or otherwise has the right to use: (i) Intellectual Property that

for issuance of the Intellectual Property are in good standing and are recorded or in the process of being recorded in the name
of such Grantor, other than Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents, if any, that do not constitute Material Intellectual Property.

 

(b)          On
the Effective Date, all Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is valid, in full force and effect, subsisting, unexpired
and enforceable, and no Material Intellectual Property has been abandoned. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by

has been or is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, violating or otherwise impairing any Material Intellectual Property of
such Grantor.

 

    	7

     

    

 

(c)          Such
Grantor has taken or caused to be taken commercially reasonable steps to ensure that none of its Material Intellectual Property,
the value of which to such Grantor is contingent upon maintenance of the confidentiality thereof, has been disclosed by such Grantor
to any Person other than employees, contractors, customers, representatives and agents of such Grantor who are parties to customary
confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with such Grantor. Each employee and contractor of such Grantor involved in development
or creation of any Material Intellectual Property has assigned any and all inventions and ideas of such Person in and to such
Material Intellectual Property to such Grantor.

 

(d)          No
settlement or consents, covenants not to sue, nonassertion assurances, or releases have been entered into by such Grantor or exist
to which such Grantor is bound that adversely affect its rights to own or use any Intellectual Property except as could not be
reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, in each case individually or in the aggregate.

 

(e)          This
Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on such Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks, in each case, registered,
or subject to application for registration, in the U.S., and IP Licenses and, upon filing with the Applicable IP Office within

or subject to application for registration, in the U.S., and IP Licenses have been taken and such perfected security interest
is enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from Grantor. Grantor has no interest in any Copyright
that is necessary in connection with the operation of Grantor’s business, except for those Copyrights identified in Exhibit
D attached hereto which have been registered with the United States Copyright Office.

 

3.11.       Filing
Requirements. None of the Collateral owned by it is of a type for which security interests or liens may be perfected by filing
under any federal statute except for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights held by such Grantor and described in Exhibit D.
The legal description, county and street address of each property on which any Fixtures are located is set forth in Exhibit
F together with the name and address of the record owner of each such property.

 

3.12.       No

naming the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as the secured party and (b) as permitted by Section 4.1(e).

informed the Administrative Agent so that the Administrative Agent may take steps to perfect its security interest therein as a
General Intangible, (iii) all such Pledged Collateral held by a securities intermediary is covered by a control agreement among

by the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Grantor

5.1.        Events of Default.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

representation or warranty made by or on behalf of any Grantor under or in connection with this Security Agreement shall be materially
false as of the date on which made.

Grantor shall fail to observe or perform any of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement (other than a breach which constitutes
an Event of Default under any other Section of this Article V) and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of ten (10)
days after the earlier of knowledge of such breach or notice thereof from the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)          The
occurrence of any “Event of Default” under, and as defined in, the Credit Agreement.

 

    	15

     

    

 

(e)          Any
Equity Interest which is included within the Collateral shall at any time constitute a Security or the issuer of any such Equity
Interest shall take any action to have such interests treated as a Security unless (i) all certificates or other documents constituting
such Security have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and such Security is properly defined as such under Article 8 of
the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction, whether as a result of actions by the issuer thereof or otherwise, or (ii) the Administrative
Agent has entered into a control agreement with the issuer of such Security or with a securities intermediary relating to such
Security and such Security is defined as such under Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction, whether as a result of
actions by the issuer thereof or otherwise.

 

5.2.       Remedies.

 

(a)          Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise any or all of the following
rights and remedies:

 

(i)          those
rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided that,
this Section 5.2(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;

 

(ii)         those
rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under
any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’
lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

 

(iii)        give
notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Deposit Account Control Agreement or other control agreement with any
securities intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral;

 

(iv)        without
notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor
or any other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial
process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise
dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales
(which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises
or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the
Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and

 

(v)         concurrently
with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any
part of the Pledged Collateral, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates
or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to
collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect
to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof. 

 

(b)          The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection
with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of
any sale of the Collateral.

 

(c)          The
Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such
private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any
part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption each Grantor hereby expressly releases.

 

    	16

     

    

 

(d)          Until
the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have
the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving
Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may,
if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative
Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment
without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

 

(e)          If,
after the Credit Agreement has terminated by its terms and all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full, there remain Swap Agreement
Obligations outstanding, the Required Secured Parties may exercise the remedies provided in this Section 5.2 upon the occurrence
of any event which would allow or require the termination or acceleration of any Swap Agreement Obligations pursuant to the terms
of the Swap Agreement.

 

(f)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue
or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect
to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral
therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or
to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

 

(g)          Each
Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and
may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges
that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable
manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any
of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register
such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if
the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.

 

5.3.        Grantors’
Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of
a Default, each Grantor will:

 

(a)          assemble
and make available to the Administrative Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places
specified by the Administrative Agent, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere;

 

(b)          permit
the Administrative Agent, by the Administrative Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises
where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of
all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral
or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor

applicable government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged

(e)          at

V at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies (including in order
to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or
grant options to purchase any Collateral), each Grantor hereby (a) grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to any Grantor), including in such license the right to use, license, sublicense or practice any Intellectual
Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access
to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation
or printout thereof and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent may sell any of such Grantor’s assets directly
to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s assets from such Grantor
and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement,
may sell any asset which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any asset that is covered by any Copyright
owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) finish any work in process
and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such asset as provided herein.

 

ARTICLE VI

Debtors of any such Grantor, parties to contracts with any such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments of any such Grantor

relating to, Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables.

 

    	18

     

    

 

6.2.        Authorization
for Administrative Agent to Take Certain Action.

 

(a)          Each
Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative
Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file
financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the
perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) in the case of any Intellectual
Property owned by or licensed to such Grantor, execute, deliver and have recorded any document that the Administrative Agent may

any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iv) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any
financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment

sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s
security interest in the Collateral, (v) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities

expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that, this authorization
shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)          All
acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, under this Section 6.2 are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise
any such powers. The Administrative Agent agrees that, except for the powers granted in Section 6.2(a)(i)-(vii), it shall not exercise
any power or authority granted to it unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

6.3.        Proxy.
EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH
IN SECTION 6.2 ABOVE) WITH RESPECT TO ITS PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL
POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH
A HOLDER OF ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS,
CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT
THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF)

ARTICLE VII

[RESERVED]

 

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

8.1.        Waivers.
Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition
of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice
made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten days prior to (i) the
date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any
other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes
the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation,
stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now
or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment,
order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

 

8.2.        Limitation
on Administrative Agent’s and Other Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent
shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured
Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession
or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the
preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes
duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees
that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative
Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other
finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition
of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons
obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection
specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for
expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to
assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral
by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable
capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets,
(x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements
to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative
Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative
Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative
Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2
is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable
in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative
Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation
upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any
duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law
in the absence of this Section 8.2.

 

    	20

     

    

 

8.3.        Compromises
and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and
other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or
become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may
exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each
Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be
commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it
takes any such action.

 

8.4.        Secured
Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay
any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and the Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative
Agent for any amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse
the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

 

8.5.        Specific
Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections
4.1(d), 4.1(e), 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 5.3, or 8.7 or in Article VII will cause irreparable
injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have
no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent
or the other Secured Parties to seek specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement,
that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable
against the Grantors.

 

8.6.        Dispositions
Not Authorized. No Grantor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1(d)
and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the Administrative Agent or other conduct of the Administrative
Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1(d)) shall be binding
upon the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Administrative
Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

 

    	21

     

    

 

8.7.        No
Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise
any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any
Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms,
conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent
with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement and then only to the
extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded
shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations
have been Paid in Full. 

 

8.8.        Limitation
by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only
to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security
Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to
the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded
or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or
invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining
provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and
to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.

 

8.9.        Reinstatement.
This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against
any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any
creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets,
and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations, or any part thereof (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff), is, pursuant to applicable
law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether
as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion), all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that
any payment, or any part thereof (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff), is rescinded, reduced, restored
or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced,
restored or returned.

 

8.10.      Benefit
of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors,
the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become
bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its
obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or
any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.

 

8.11.      Survival
of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

 

8.12.      Taxes
and Expenses. Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this
Security Agreement shall be paid by the Grantors, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Grantors shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent for any and all out-of-pocket expenses and internal charges (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’
and accountants’ fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants who may be employees
of the Administrative Agent) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation
or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Collateral).
Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall
be borne solely by the Grantors.

 

    	22

     

    

 

8.13.      Headings.
The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation
of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

 

8.14.      Termination.
This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations
outstanding) until (i) the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations
have been Paid in Full and no commitments of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties which would give rise to any
Secured Obligations are outstanding.

 

8.15.      Entire
Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Administrative
Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Administrative
Agent relating to the Collateral.

 

8.16.      CHOICE
OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAWS
OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

 

8.17.      CONSENT
TO JURISDICTION. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY
U.S. FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT
AND IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW
OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM. 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 HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE
RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY GRANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

8.18.      WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER AGENT (INCLUDING ANY 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 SECURITY AGREEMENT
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.18.

 

    	23

     

    

 

8.19.      Indemnity.
Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors,
assigns, agents and employees, from and against any and all liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, fees, costs, and expenses of
any kind and nature (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party is a party thereto) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the
other Secured Parties, or their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, in any way relating to or arising out of
this Security Agreement, or the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation,
condition, sale, return or other disposition of any Collateral (including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether
or not discoverable by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties or any Grantor, and any claim for Patent, Trademark
or Copyright infringement).

 

8.20.      Counterparts.
This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement,
and any of the parties hereto may execute this Security Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart

this Agreement. 
 3. Definition - Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” for the termination of the
Employee’s employment hereunder shall be deemed to exist if, in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO): (i) the Employee commits fraud, theft or embezzlement against the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate thereof; (ii) the Employee commits a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (iii) the Employee breaches any non-competition, confidentiality or non-solicitation agreement with the

4. Compensation. 
  

	 	A.	 Annual Base Salary. The Employee shall be paid his current annual base salary of $350,000.00 for the
remainder of calendar year 2014 (as such may be amended from time to time, the “Annual Base Salary”). The Company may increase the Annual Base Salary paid to the Employee in an amount to be determined by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. The Annual Base Salary shall be payable at such regular times and intervals as the Company customarily pays its employees from time to time. 

	 	B.	 Annual Performance Award. For each fiscal year of employment during which the Company employs the
Employee, the Employee shall be entitled to receive a target annual performance award in accordance with the terms of any plan governing employee performance awards then in effect us established by the Board (the “Annual Performance
Award”). 

 5. Employee Benefits. The Employee will be entitled to twenty-one (21) paid-time-off (PTO)
days of vacation per fiscal year during his/her first ten (10) years of service, and twenty-six (26) paid-time-off (PTO) days of vacation per fiscal year
thereafter. The Employee, the Employee’s spouse, and qualifying members of the Employee’s family will be eligible for and will participate in any benefits and perquisites available to other senior vice presidents of the Company, including
any group health, dental, life insurance, disability, or other form of employee benefit plan or program of the Company now existing or that may be later adopted by the Company (collectively , the “Employee Benefits”). 

6. Death or Disability. The Employee’s employment will terminate immediately upon the Employee’s death. If the Employee
becomes physically or mentally disabled so as to become unable for a period of more than five consecutive months or for shorter periods aggregating at least five months during any twelve-month period to perform the Employee’s duties hereunder
on a substantially full-time basis, the Employee’s employment will terminate as of the end of such five-month or twelve-month period and this shall be considered a “disability” under this Agreement. Such termination shall not affect
the Employee’s benefits under the Company’s disability insurance program, if any, then in effect. 
 7. Termination. Either
the Employee or the Company may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice. 
  

	 	A.	 Termination of Employment Without Cause or Upon the Death or Disability of the Employee. Upon the
termination of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement by the Company without Cause or the death or disability of the Employee, the following shall apply: 

 

	 	(i)	 Termination Payment. The Employee shall be entitled to and paid a termination payment (the
“Termination Payment”) equal to two (2) years’ Annual Base Salary as set forth in Section 4 based upon the then current salary level. The Termination Payment shall be made within 10 days of any termination pursuant to this
Section 7(A). 

  

	 	(ii)	 Termination Benefits. The Company shall continue to provide the Employee and any covered dependents of
the Employee (and if applicable, his beneficiaries) with the Employee Benefits (as described in Section 5 hereof) for a period of 2 years after the date of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company. Such Employee Benefits
shall be provided at no cost to the Employee in no less than the same amount, and on the same terms 

  
 2 

	 	and conditions, as in effect on the date on which the termination of employment occurs. If the Employee dies during the 2-year period following a termination pursuant to this
Section 7(A), the Company shall continue to provide the Employee Benefits to the Employee’s covered dependents under the same terms as were being provided prior to the Employee’s death and, to the extent applicable, to the
Employee’s estate. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Termination Automobile. Within 10 days following termination , the Company shall transfer all of its
interest in any automobile used by the Employee pursuant to the Company’s Employee Automobile Policy (the “Employee Automobile Policy”) and shall pay the balance of any outstanding loans or leases on such automobile (whether such
obligations are those of the Employee or the Company) so that the Employee owns the automobile outright (in the event such automobile is leased, the Company shall pay the residual cost of such lease). 

 

	 	(iv)	 Termination Stock Options and Restricted Stock. All of the outstanding unvested stock options and
restricted stock granted to the Employee prior to termination will fully vest immediately upon termination, provided however, that any restricted stock that is still subject to performance based vesting at the time of such termination shall only
vest when and to the extent the Compensation Committee of the Board certifies that the performance goals are actually met. 

  

	 	B.	 Termination of Employment by Resignation of Employee or by the Company With Cause. Upon the termination
of the Employee’s employment by the voluntary resignation of the Employee or by the Company with Cause, the Employee shall be due no further compensation under this Agreement related to Annual Base Salary, Annual Performance Award, Employee
Benefits, or Termination Payment other than what is due and owing through the effective date of the Employee’s resignation or termination. 

  

	 	C.	 Retirement Plan Rights Unaffected. Termination of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement
for any reason, whatsoever, shall not affect the Employee’s rights under the Company’s retirement plan applicable to the Employee. 

8. Restrictive Covenants. 
  

	 	A.	 General. The Company and the Employee hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the Employee is in
possession of trade secrets (as defined in Section 688.002(4) of the Florida Statutes) of the Company (the “Trade Secrets”), (ii) the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 8 are justified by legitimate business
interests of the Company, including, but not limited to, the protection of the Trade Secrets, in accordance with Section 542.335(l)(e) of the Florida Statutes, and (iii) the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 8 are
reasonably necessary to protect such legitimate business interests of the Company.

	 	B.	 Non-Competition. During the period of the Employee’s
employment with the Company and until two (2) years after the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, either (i) on the Employee’s own behalf or as a partner,
officer, director, trustee, employee, agent, consultant or member of any person, firm or corporation, or otherwise, enter into the employ of, render any service to, or engage in any business or activity which is the same as or competitive with any
business or activity conducted by the Company or any of its affiliates or majority-owned subsidiaries or (ii) become an officer, employee or consultant of, or otherwise assume a substantial role or relationship with, any governmental entity,
agency or political subdivision that is a client or customer of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent the Employee from investing in securities of any company
having a class of securities which is publicly traded, so long as through such investment holdings in the aggregate, the Employee is not deemed to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class of securities that is so publicly traded. During
the period of the Employee’s employment and until two (2) years after the termination of the Employee’s employment, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, on the Employee’s own behalf or as a partner, shareholder,
officer, employee, director, trustee, agent, consultant or member of any person, firm or corporation or otherwise, seek to employ or otherwise seek the services of any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or majority-owned subsidiaries.

  

	 	C.	 Confidentiality. During and following the period of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the

public that concerns the business or affairs of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates and which was acquired by the Employee at any time prior to or during the term of the Employee’s employment with the Company, except with the specific
prior written consent of the Company. 

  

	 	D.	 Work Product. The Employee agrees that all programs, inventions , innovations, improvements,
developments, methods, designs, analyses, reports and all similar or related information which relate to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, actual or anticipated , or to any actual or anticipated research and

this Agreement (“Work Product” ) belong to the 

  
 4 

	 	Company. The Employee will cooperate fully in the establishment and maintenance of all rights of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates in such Work Product. The provisions of this Section 8(D) will
survive termination of this Agreement indefinitely to the extent necessary to require actions to be taken by the Employee after the termination of the Agreement with respect to Work Product created during the term of this Agreement.

  

	 	E.	 Enforcement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 8
are reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary to protect the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. If any covenant or agreement contained in this Section 8 is found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable in
duration, geographical scope or character of restriction, the covenant or agreement will not be rendered unenforceable thereby but rather the duration, geographical scope or character of restriction of such covenant or agreement will be reduced or
modified with retroactive effect to make such covenant or agreement reasonable, and such covenant or agreement will be enforced as so modified. The Employee agrees and acknowledges that the breach of this Section 8 will cause irreparable injury
to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and upon the breach of any provision of this Section 8, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable

damages). 

 9. Representations. The Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the
execution, delivery and full performance of this Agreement by the Employee does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any agreement, contract or instrument to which the Employee is a party or any judgment, order or
decree to which the Employee is subject; (ii) the Employee is not a party or bound by any employment agreement, consulting agreement, agreement not to compete, confidentiality agreement or similar agreement with any other person or entity; and
(iii) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Employee and the Company, this Agreement will be the Employee’s valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

10. Arbitration. In the event of any dispute between the Company and the Employee with respect to this Agreement, either party may, in
its sole discretion by notice to the other, require such dispute to be submitted to arbitration. The arbitrator will be selected by agreement of the Parties or, if they cannot agree on an arbitrator or arbitrators within 30 days after the giving of
such notice, the arbitrator will be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The determination reached in such arbitration will be final and binding on both Parties without any right of appeal. Execution of the determination by such
arbitrator may be sought in any court having jurisdiction. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, any such arbitration will take place in West Palm Beach, Florida and will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association. If the Employee is the prevailing party in any such arbitration, he will be entitled to reimbursement by the Company of all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees incurred in such arbitration).

 11. Assignment. The Employee may not assign, transfer, convey, mortgage, hypothecate,
pledge or in any way encumber the compensation or other benefits payable to the Employee or any rights which the Employee may have under this Agreement. Neither the Employee nor the Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries will have any right to
receive any compensation or other benefits under this Agreement, except at the time, in the amounts and in the manner provided in this Agreement. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon any successor to the Company, and
any successor to the Company shall be authorized to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the terms and conditions of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 8 hereof. As used in this Agreement, the term
“successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by merger, purchase or otherwise, acquires all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of the Company. This Agreement may not
otherwise be assigned by the Company.

without regard to the application of conflicts of laws. 
 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the only agreement between
the Company and the Employee regarding the Employee’s employment by the Company. This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements and understandings, written or oral, between the Company and the Employee regarding the subject matter
hereof and thereof. A waiver by either party of any provision of this Agreement or any breach of such provision in an instance will not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such provision for the future, or of any subsequent breach of such
provision. This Agreement may be amended, modified or changed only by further written agreement between the Company and the Employee, duly executed by both Parties. 

14. Severability; Survival. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be void and unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, then such unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as to be enforceable (or if not subject to modification then eliminated herefrom) to the extent necessary to permit the remaining provisions to be enforced in
accordance with the Parties’ intention. The provisions of Section 8 (and the restrictive covenants contained therein) shall survive the termination for any reason of this Agreement and/or the Employee’s relationship with the Company.

 l5. Notices. Any and all notices required or permitted to be given hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been
given when deposited in United States mail, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid. Any notice to be given by the Employee hereunder will be addressed to the Company to the attention of its General Counsel at its main offices, One Park Place,
Suite 700, 621 Northwest 53rd Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33487. Any notice to be given to the Employee will be addressed to the Employee at the Employee’s residence address last provided by the Employee to Company. Either party may change the

 16. Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not
limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any of its terms and conditions. 
  

	17.	 SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE. 

 

	 	A.	 GENERAL. It is the intention of both the Company and the Employee that the benefits and rights to which
the Employee is entitled pursuant to this Agreement comply with Code Section 409A, to the extent that the requirements of Code Section 409A are applicable thereto, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner
consistent with that intention. If the Employee or the Company believes, at any time, that any such benefit or right that is subject to Code Section 409A does not so comply, it shall promptly advise the other and shall negotiate reasonably and
in good faith to amend the terms of such benefits and rights such that they comply with Code Section 409A (with the most limited possible economic effect on the Employee and on the Company). 

 

	 	B.	 DISTRIBUTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF SEPARATION FROM SERVICE. To the extent required to comply with Code
Section 409A, any payment or benefit required to be paid under this Agreement on account of termination of the Employee’s service (or any other similar term) shall be made only in connection with a “separation from service” with
respect to the Employee within the meaning of Code Section 409A. 

  

	 	C.	 NO ACCELERATION OF PAYMENTS. Neither the Company nor the Employee, individually or in combination, may
accelerate any payment or benefit that is subject to Code Section 409A, except in compliance with Code Section 409A and the provisions of this Agreement, and no amount that is subject to Code Section 409A shall be paid prior to the
earliest date on which it may be paid without violating Code Section 409A. 

  

	 	D.	 SIX MONTH DELAY FOR SPECIFIED EMPLOYEES. In the event that the Employee is a “specified
employee” (as described in Code Section 409A), and any payment or benefit payable pursuant to this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, then the Company and the Employee shall cooperate in good faith to
undertake any actions that would cause such payment or benefit not to constitute deferred compensation under Code Section 409A. In the event that, following such efforts, the Company determines (after consultation with its counsel) that such
payment or benefit is still subject to the six-month delay requirement described in Code Section 409A(2)(b) in order for such payment or benefit to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A,
then no such payment or benefit shall be made before the date that is six months after the Employee’s “separation from service” (as described in Code Section 409A) (or, if earlier, the date of the Employee’s death). Any
payment or benefit delayed by reason of the prior sentence shall be paid out or provided in a single lump sum at the end of such required delay period in order to catch up to the original payment schedule. 

  
 7 

	 	E.	 TREATMENT OF EACH INSTALLMENT AS A SEPARATE PAYMENT. For purposes of applying the provisions of Code
Section 409A to this Agreement, each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A, any series of
installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. 

  

	 	F.	 REIMBURSEMENTS AND IN-KIND BENEFITS. With respect to
reimbursements and in-kind benefits that may be provided under the Agreement (the “Reimbursement Plans”), to the extent any benefits provided under the Reimbursement Plans are subject to
Section 409A, the Reimbursement Plans shall meet the following requirements: 

 (i) Reimbursement
Plans shall use an objectively determinable, nondiscretionary definition of the expenses eligible for reimbursement or of the in-kind benefits to be provided; 

(ii) Reimbursement Plans shall provide that the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during the Employee’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other
taxable year, provided, however, that Reimbursement Plans providing for reimbursement of expenses referred to in Code Section 105(b) shall not fail to meet the requirement of this Section l 8(G)(ii) solely because such Reimbursement Plans
provide for a limit on the amount of expenses that may be reimbursed under such arrangements over some or all of the period in which Reimbursement Plans remain in effect; 

(iii) The reimbursement of an eligible expense is made on or before the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following
the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; and 
 (iv) The right to reimbursement or
in-kind benefits under the Reimbursement Plans shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
  

	 	G.	 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. With respect to any Employee Benefits that do not comply with (or are not exempt
from) Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the Employee shall be deemed to receive from the Company a monthly payment necessary for the Employee to purchase the benefit in question.
