Intercreditor Agent or the Collateral Agent and the Issuer shall determine in their reasonable discretion (or pursuant to instructions from the requisite Secured Parties in accordance with Section 9.8 hereof) that the costs
of perfecting a security interest in such item are excessive in relation to the value of such security being perfected thereby.

Section 4.10(d), all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the Securities Collateral in existence on the date hereof have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, in suitable form for transfer by
delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and that the Collateral Agent has a perfected second priority security interest therein subject only to Permitted Liens and to the Liens of the First-Priority
Collateral Agent. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that all certificates representing or evidencing Securities Collateral acquired by such Pledgor after the date hereof shall promptly (but in any event within forty-five (45) days after receipt
thereof by such Pledgor or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such later date as the First-Priority Collateral Agent may specify under a provision that exists in substantially the same form under the First-Priority Obligations
Documents) be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. All certificated Securities Collateral shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer
or assignment in blank. The Collateral Agent shall have the right (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and Section 9.8), at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
to endorse, assign or otherwise transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees or endorse for negotiation any or all of the Securities Collateral, without any indication that such Securities Collateral is

 SECTION 3.2 Perfection of Uncertificated Securities Collateral. 

(a) Each Pledgor represents and warrants that the Collateral Agent has a perfected second priority security interest (subject to Permitted
Liens having priority under applicable law and the Liens of the First-Priority Collateral Agent) in all uncertificated Pledged Securities pledged by it hereunder that are in existence on the date hereof. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that if any of the
Pledged Securities are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Pledgor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) cause the issuer of Pledged Securities that is not a party to this Agreement to

 -12- 

 
under the terms hereof, and (iii) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon request by the
Collateral Agent (subject to Section 9.8), (A) cause the Organizational Documents of each such issuer that is a Subsidiary of the Issuer to be amended to provide that such Pledged Securities shall be treated as
“securities” for purposes of the UCC and (B) cause such Pledged Securities to become certificated and delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1. 

(b) In the case of each Pledgor which is an issuer of Securities Collateral, such Pledgor agrees (i) to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement relating to the Securities Collateral issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) promptly to note on its books the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent and confirmed
under this Agreement and (iii) that it will, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, comply with instructions of the Collateral Agent with respect to the applicable Securities Collateral (including all Equity Interests of such

Certificate. The Collateral Agent will have no duty or obligation to make any of the filings provided to it under this Section 3.3. Each Pledgor agrees that at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such Pledgor will
maintain the security interest created by this Agreement in the Pledged Collateral as a perfected (x) second priority security interest in the Non-ABL Priority Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens
having priority under applicable law and the Liens of the First-Priority Collateral Agent in the Non-ABL Priority Collateral) and (y) third priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral
(subject to Permitted Liens having priority under applicable law and the Liens of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the First-Priority Collateral Agent in the ABL Priority Collateral) and file all UCC-3
continuations statements necessary to continue the perfection of the security interest created by this Agreement.

in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in such form and substance as is reasonably necessary in the determination of the Issuer (and in any event, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, in
substantially the same form delivered to the First-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to an analogous provision under the First-Priority Obligations Documents) to grant a security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim.

Chattel Paper are and will be correctly stated in all records of such Pledgor relating thereto and in all invoices with respect thereto furnished to the Collateral Agent by such Pledgor from time to time, in each case, except as could not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the time when each Account or each item of Chattel Paper arises, such Pledgor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such Account or Chattel Paper, as the case may be, and all
records relating thereto, are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be, in each case, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

setoffs, claims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto and such Pledgor has not made any agreement with any Account Debtor for any extension of time for the payment thereof, any compromise or settlement for less than the full amount

Debtor which might result in any materially adverse change in such Account Debtor’s financial condition; and (v) such Pledgor has no knowledge that any Account Debtor has become insolvent or is generally unable to pay its debts as they
become due, in each case in clauses (i) through (v) above, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 -14- 

 (d) Inventory. 

(i) With respect to any of a Pledgor’s Inventory with a value in excess of $5,000,000 individually or in the aggregate,
(i) such Pledgor has good, indefeasible and merchantable title to such Inventory and such Inventory is not subject to any Lien or security interest or document whatsoever except for Permitted Liens, (ii) such Inventory is not subject to
any licensing, patent, royalty, trademark, trade name or copyright agreements with any third parties which would require any consent of any third party upon sale or disposition of that Inventory or the payment of any monies to any third party upon
such sale or other disposition, (iii) such Inventory has been produced in compliance in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder and (iv) the
completion of manufacture, sale or other disposition of such Inventory by the Collateral Agent following an Event of Default shall not require the consent of any Person and shall not constitute a breach or default under any contract or agreement to
which such Pledgor is a party or to which such property is subject, in each case in clauses (i) through (iv) above, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(ii) Each Pledgor will do all things necessary to maintain, preserve, protect and keep its Inventory in working and saleable
condition, except (i) for damaged or defective goods arising in the ordinary course of such Pledgor’s business or (ii) as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(e) Collateral Records. Each Pledgor will maintain books and records that are complete and accurate in all material respects with
respect to the Collateral owned by it. 
 (f) Instruments, Documents and Tangible Chattel Paper. As of the date hereof, no Pledged
Collateral is evidenced by any Instrument, Document or Tangible Chattel Paper other than such Instruments, Documents and Tangible Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate. Each Instrument and each item of Tangible Chattel
Paper listed in Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate has been properly endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. If any amount then payable under or in
connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, and such amount, together with all amounts payable evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper not previously delivered to the
Collateral Agent, exceeds $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all Pledgors, the Pledgor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper shall promptly (but in any event within five days after receipt thereof or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations, such later date as the First-Priority Collateral Agent may specify under a provision that exists in substantially the same form under the First-Priority Obligations Documents) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral
Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify. Promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, Pledgors shall deliver to the Collateral
Agent (and thereafter hold in trust for the Collateral Agent upon receipt and immediately deliver to the Collateral Agent) any Document evidencing or constituting Pledged Collateral. 

SECTION 3.5 Joinder of Additional Guarantors. The Pledgors shall cause each Subsidiary of the Issuer which, from time to time, after
the date hereof shall be required to pledge any assets to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, 

  
 -15- 

 
to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto and (ii) a Perfection Certificate, in each case, within
forty-five (45) days of the date on which it was acquired or created (or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such later date as the First-Priority Collateral Agent may specify under a provision that exists in substantially the
same form under the First-Priority Obligations Documents) and, in each case, upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Guarantor” and a “Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and
effect as if originally named as a Guarantor and Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor and Pledgor as a party to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.6 Supplements;
Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional financing statements, amendments, assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as is reasonably
necessary or appropriate in order to create, perfect, preserve and protect the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes
hereof or better to assure and confirm the validity, enforceability and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral, including the filing of financing statements, continuation statements and other documents (including this Agreement) under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any
jurisdiction with respect to the security interest created hereby and in such offices (including the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office) wherever required by law to perfect, continue and maintain the
validity, enforceability and priority of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and to preserve the other rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, as against third parties, with respect to the
Pledged Collateral; provided that such amendments, assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments shall (i) be in customary form and accompanied by customary ancillary documents (in each case as determined by the Issuer in
its sole discretion), (ii) not cause a default under any Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) be in compliance with the Indenture and (iv) contain such provisions regarding the duties, liabilities, obligations, indemnities, benefits and
protections of the Collateral Agent as are reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. In addition, prior to delivery of such documentation the Collateral Agent shall have the opportunity to request and receive an Officers’ Certificate as

and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection thereof in the Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole
cost and expense of the Pledgors.

Secured Obligations, and (b) subject to the filings and other actions described in Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate (to the extent required to be listed on the schedules to the Perfection Certificate as of the date this representation
is made or deemed made) and intellectual property filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, a perfected security interest in all the Pledged Collateral to the extent required to be perfected
hereunder. The security interest and Lien granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on the Pledged Collateral will at all times constitute a perfected, continuing security interest
therein, prior to all other Liens on the Pledged Collateral except for Permitted Liens. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement constitutes a legal valid and binding obligation of each Pledgor, enforceable against such Pledgor, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

SECTION 4.3 Defense of Claims; Transferability of Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, use commercially
reasonable efforts to defend title to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Collateral Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all persons, at its
own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein materially adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Liens. There is no agreement, order, judgment or decree, and, except as permitted under the
Indenture and each Other Second-Priority Agreement, no Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise impair or conflict with such Pledgor’s
obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. 
 SECTION 4.4 Other Financing Statements. It has not filed, nor
authorized any third party to file (nor will it file or authorize), any valid or effective financing statement (or similar statement, instrument of registration or public notice under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to 

  
 -17- 

 
cover any interest of any kind in the Pledged Collateral, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or in favor of any holder of a Permitted Lien
with respect to such Permitted Lien or financing statements or public notices relating to the termination statements listed on Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate. No Pledgor shall execute or authorize in any public office any financing
statement (or similar statement, instrument of registration or public notice under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to any Pledged Collateral, except financing statements and other statements and instruments filed or to be filed in respect of
and covering the security interests granted by such Pledgor to the holder of the Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 4.5 Pledged Securities.
Attached hereto as Schedule 1 is, as of the Issue Date, a true and correct list of all of the issued and outstanding stock, partnership interests, limited liability company membership interests or other equity interests owned by any Pledgor
(other than Excluded Assets). 
 SECTION 4.6 Due Authorization and Issuance. All of the Pledged Securities existing on the date
hereof have been, and to the extent any Pledged Securities are hereafter issued, such Pledged Securities will be, upon such issuance, duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and (other than in the case of ULC/Partnership Interests) non-assessable to the extent applicable. There is no amount or other obligation owing by any Pledgor to any issuer of the Pledged Securities in exchange for or in connection with the issuance of the Pledged
Securities or any Pledgor’s status as a partner or a member of any issuer of the Pledged Securities. 
 SECTION 4.7 Consents,
etc. In the event that the Collateral Agent desires to exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement
during the continuance of any Event of Default and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, such Pledgor agrees
to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Collateral Agent to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers. 

SECTION 4.8 Pledged Collateral. All information set forth herein, including the schedules hereto, and all information contained in any
documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to any Secured Party, including the Perfection Certificate and the schedules thereto, in connection with this Agreement, in each case, relating to the Pledged Collateral, is accurate and complete
in all material respects. The Pledged Collateral described on the schedules to the Perfection Certificate constitutes all of the property of such type of Pledged Collateral owned or held by the Pledgors. 

SECTION 4.9 Insurance. 

(a) In the event that the proceeds of any insurance claim are paid to any Pledgor after the Collateral Agent has exercised its right to
foreclose after an Event of Default, such Net Loss Proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and immediately after receipt thereof shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, be paid to the Collateral
Agent for application in accordance with Section 10.1. 
 (b) Within ninety (90) days following the Issue Date
(or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such later date as the First-Priority Collateral Agent may specify under a provision that exists in substantially the same form under the First-Priority Obligations Documents), the
Pledgors’ insurance policies shall name the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) as an additional insured or as lender loss payee, as applicable, and shall contain lender loss payable

  
 -18- 

 
clauses, through endorsements in form and substance customary for transactions of this nature as determined by the Issuer and in any event, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, in
substantially the same form delivered to the First-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to an analogous provision under the First-Priority Obligations Documents. 

SECTION 4.10 Post-Closing Collateral Matters. 

(a) The Issuer shall, within ninety (90) days following the Issue Date (or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such later
date as the First-Priority Collateral Agent may specify under a provision that exists in substantially the same form under the First-Priority Obligations Documents), establish in its name, and thereafter maintain at all times until the payment in
cash in full of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Account with the First-Priority Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent. 
 (b) In
the event that any Other Second-Priority Obligations are incurred following the Issue Date, the Pledgors shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof in writing and take all such action as may be reasonably required to amend each then existing Mortgage
in order to appropriately ensure that such Other Second-Priority Obligations are secured equally and ratably with the Secured Obligations under the Indenture. 

(c) Each Pledgor agrees that, in the event such Pledgor takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the First-Priority Collateral
Agent (or other collateral agent with respect to any First-Priority Obligations) or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent in any assets, such Pledgor shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreements) in favor of the Collateral Agent to secure the Secured Obligations without request of the Collateral Agent; provided that such action shall not impose any new duties, obligations or liabilities on the Collateral Agent without the
Collateral Agent’s prior written consent and shall provide such indemnities, benefits and protections for the Collateral Agent as are reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. 

(d) The Issuer shall, within thirty (30) days after the Issue Date (or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such later date
as the First-Priority Collateral Agent may specify under a provision that exists in substantially the same form under the First-Priority Obligations Documents), deliver to the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations,
the First-Priority Collateral Agent as bailee for the Collateral Agent) the certificates evidencing the Pledged Securities in Aleris Rolled Products Canada ULC. 

Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee undertakes any responsibility whatsoever to determine whether any of the foregoing covenants in
this Section 4.10 have been satisfied, and neither shall have any liability whatsoever arising out of the failure of the Issuer or any of the Pledgors to satisfy such post-closing requirements. 

SECTION 4.11 Notice of Changes. Without limiting the restrictions on mergers involving the Pledgors contained in the Indenture, if any
Pledgor shall effect any change in (i) its legal name, (ii) the location of its chief executive office, (iii) its identity or organizational structure, (iv) its organizational identification number, if any, or (v) its
jurisdiction of organization, (A) it shall give the Collateral Agent written notice (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate) thereof within 30 days (or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such later date as the
First-Priority Collateral Agent may specify under a provision that exists in substantially the same form under the First-Priority Obligations Documents) following such change and (B) it shall take all action reasonably necessary (including the
filing of financing statement amendments, if applicable) to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Pledged Collateral, if applicable. 

  
 -19- 

 SECTION 4.12 No Impairment of the Security Interests. No Pledgor shall take any action, or
knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Pledged Collateral. 

SECTION 4.13 Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Pledgor is
or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit constituting Collateral in excess of $5,000,000 in face amount, it shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after becoming a beneficiary, notify the Collateral Agent thereof
and (i) undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to consent to the assignment of any Letter-of-Credit Rights to the
Collateral Agent and (ii) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to agree to direct all payments thereunder to a Deposit Account at the Collateral
Agent for application to the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof, all in form and substance customary for transactions of this nature as determined by the Issuer and in any event, prior to the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations, in substantially the same form delivered to the First-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to an analogous provision under the First-Priority Obligations Documents. 

SECTION 4.14 ULC/Partnership Interests. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other
document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto each Pledgor shall remain registered as the sole registered and beneficial owner of all ULC/Partnership Interests and will remain as registered and beneficial owner until such time as
such ULC/Partnership Interests are effectively transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent or any other Person on the books and records of such ULC/Partnership upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC/Partnership
Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Accordingly, such Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends, property or other distributions, if any, in respect of such
ULC/Partnership Interests (except insofar as the Pledgor has granted a security interest in such dividends, property or other distributions, and any shares which are ULC/Partnership Interests shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as
collateral hereunder) and shall have the right to vote such ULC/Partnership Interests and to control the direction, management and policies of the issuer of such ULC/Partnership Interests to the same extent as the Pledgor would if such
ULC/Partnership Interests were not pledged to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall constitute the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person other than such Pledgor as a
shareholder or member of any ULC/Partnership for the purposes of any applicable law until such time as notice is given to such ULC/Partnership (which has not been withdrawn) and further steps are taken thereunder so as to register the Collateral
Agent or other Person as the holder of the ULC/Partnership Interests of such ULC/Partnership upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC/Partnership Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party as a shareholder or member of a ULC/Partnership prior to such time, such provision shall be severed therefrom and
ineffective with respect to the ULC/Partnership Interests of such ULC/Partnership without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Securities
Collateral which are not ULC/Partnership Interests. Except upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC/Partnership Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Pledgor shall cause or
permit, or enable any ULC/Partnership in which it holds ULC/Partnership Interests to cause or permit, the Collateral Agent to (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership; (b) have any notation entered in its favor
in the share register of such ULC/Partnership; (c) be held out as a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC/Partnership by reason of
the Collateral Agent holding a security interest in such ULC/Partnership Interests; or (e) act as a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership, or exercise any rights of a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership including the right to
attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, such ULC/Partnership.

comparable provision of any Other Second-Priority Agreement, such notice shall have automatically, and without further action, been deemed to have been delivered), subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements: 

(i) all rights of each Pledgor set forth in such notice to exercise the voting and other consensual rights it would otherwise
be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i) hereof shall immediately cease, and all such rights shall thereupon immediately become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to
exercise such voting and other consensual rights; and 
 (ii) all rights of each Pledgor to receive Distributions which it
would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(ii) hereof shall immediately cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the
sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such Distributions; and 
 (iii) the Collateral Agent may take
possession of and sell the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Security Documents. 

(d) Each Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default execute and deliver to
the Collateral Agent appropriate instruments as the Collateral Agent may request in order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to
Section 5.2(c)(i) hereof and to receive all Distributions which it may be entitled to receive under Section 5.2(c)(ii) hereof.

endorsement). 
 SECTION 5.3 Defaults, etc. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (i) such Pledgor is not in default
in the payment of any portion of any mandatory capital contribution, if any, required to be made under any agreement to which such Pledgor is a party relating to the Pledged Securities pledged by it, and such Pledgor is not in violation of any other
provisions of any such agreement to which such Pledgor is a party, or otherwise in default or violation thereunder, (ii) no Securities Collateral pledged by such Pledgor is subject to any defense, offset or counterclaim, nor have any of the
foregoing been asserted or alleged against such Pledgor by any person with respect thereto, and (iii) as of the date hereof, there are no certificates, instruments, documents or other writings (other than the Organizational Documents and
certificates representing such Pledged Securities that have been delivered to the Collateral Agent) which evidence any Pledged Securities of such Pledgor. 

SECTION 5.4 Certain Agreements of Pledgors As Holders of Equity Interests. In the case of each Pledgor
which is a partner, shareholder or member, as the case may be, in a partnership, limited liability company or other entity, such Pledgor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable Organizational Document to the pledge by each other
Pledgor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged Securities in such partnership, limited liability company or other entity and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the transfer of such Pledged Securities to
the Collateral Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a substituted partner, shareholder or member in such partnership, limited liability company or other entity with all the rights, powers and duties

 ARTICLE VI 

CERTAIN PROVISIONS CONCERNING INTELLECTUAL 

PROPERTY COLLATERAL 

SECTION 6.1 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Article IX hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Pledgor hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free (and free of any other obligation or payment) license to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral
now owned, licensed or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located, subject in the case of Trademarks to reasonably sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Pledgor to avoid the risk of
invalidation of its Trademarks. Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. 

SECTION 6.2 Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security. On a continuing basis, each Pledgor shall, at its sole cost
and expense, (i) promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify the Collateral Agent of any adverse determination in any proceeding or the institution of any proceeding in any federal, state or local court or administrative body or in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office regarding any material Intellectual Property Collateral, such Pledgor’s right to register such material Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to keep
and maintain such registration and prosecute applications in full force and effect (excluding, in each case, typical communications in the ordinary course of prosecution, such as office actions and the like), (ii) consistent with commercially
reasonable business judgment, maintain, protect and enforce all material Intellectual Property Collateral as presently used and operated, (iii) not permit to lapse or become abandoned any material Intellectual Property Collateral, and not
settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to any such material Intellectual Property Collateral, in either case except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment,
(iv) upon such Pledgor obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any event which may be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of any material Intellectual Property
Collateral to such Pledgor or the Collateral Agent’s Lien on and security interest therein, including a levy or threat of levy or any legal process against any material Intellectual Property Collateral, (v) not license any Intellectual
Property Collateral, or otherwise disclose any confidential Technology or source code, other than licenses or under nondisclosure agreements (as applicable) entered into by such Pledgor in, or incidental to, the ordinary course of business,
(vi) amend or permit the amendment of any of the licenses in a manner that materially and adversely affects the right to receive payments thereunder, or in any manner that would materially impair the value of any Intellectual Property
Collateral to such Pledgor or the Collateral Agent’s Lien on and security interest therein, in each case, except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment, (vii) diligently keep adequate records respecting all
Intellectual Property Collateral and (viii) furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor reasonably detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the
Intellectual Property Collateral and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to any Intellectual Property Collateral as the Collateral Agent may from time to time request. 

  
 -23- 

 SECTION 6.3 After-Acquired Property. If any Pledgor shall at any time after the date
hereof (i) obtain any rights to any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or any renewal or extension thereof, including any reissue, division,
continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Intellectual Property Collateral, or any improvement on any Intellectual Property Collateral, or if any intent-to use trademark application is no longer subject to clause (g) of the definition of “Excluded Assets,” the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such item
enumerated in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall automatically constitute Intellectual Property Collateral as if such would have constituted Intellectual Property Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to
the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. Each Pledgor shall concurrently with the delivery of annual financial statements under Section 1009(a)(1) of the Indenture (or, after the Indenture
Obligations are no longer secured by this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, pursuant to any comparable delivery provision of any Other Second-Priority Agreement) provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of any newly filed or
acquired Patent, Trademark, Copyright, or Exclusive Copyright License (in each case filed with the United States Copyright Office or United States Patent and Trademark Office) and confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by
this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) above by execution of an instrument which shall contain such provisions regarding the duties, liabilities, obligations, indemnities, benefits and protections of the
Collateral Agent as are reasonably acceptable to it and shall promptly file and record with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office, as applicable, such instrument as shall be reasonably necessary to create,
preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral. 
 SECTION 6.4
Litigation. Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default (subject to Section 9.8), each Pledgor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its own
benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution,
diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and
Section 9.8, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the
Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, each Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and
execute any and all documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the
exercise of its rights under this Section 6.4 in accordance with Section 607 of the Indenture. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring such suit to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral,
each Pledgor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution,
diminution in value of or other damage to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by any person.

 ARTICLE IX 

REMEDIES 
 SECTION 9.1
Remedies. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreements and Section 9.8), the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, from time to time exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it, the following remedies: 
 (i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession
of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon any Pledgor’s premises where any of
the Pledged Collateral is located, for purposes of collecting, assembling, processing, removing or otherwise dealing with such Pledged Collateral, and may remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances
relating to the Pledged Collateral and use in connection with such purposes any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Pledgor; 

(ii) demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Pledged
Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Pledged Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation
directly to the Collateral Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such
payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly (but in no
event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent; 
 (iii) sell,
assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take
possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation; 
 (iv) take possession of the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense: (A) forthwith
cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Collateral Agent and therewith delivered to the Collateral Agent, (B) store and keep any Pledged Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending
further action by the Collateral Agent and (C) while the Pledged Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good
condition. Each Pledgor’s obligation to deliver the Pledged Collateral as contemplated in this Section 9.1(a)(iv) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by any Pledgor of such obligation; 

  
 -25- 

 (v) withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank,
financial securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Pledged Collateral for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article X hereof; 

(vi) retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article X hereof; 

(vii) exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Pledged Collateral, including perfecting assignment of
and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral; and 

(viii) exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party available 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), and the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice
except as specified in Section 9.3 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any
of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their
respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for
all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof
payable by such person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall not
be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed
therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the
fact that the price at which the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the
first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. 
 (ix) Until the Collateral Agent
is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent. The Collateral 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 Collateral Agent’s
remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

 SECTION 9.2 Pledgor’s Obligations Upon Event of Default. Upon the request of
the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor will: 
 (a) assemble and make
available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Collateral Agent, whether at such Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere, and undertake each of the other obligations
set forth in Section 9.1(a)(iv); and 
 (b) permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral 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 Pledgor for such use and occupancy. 

SECTION 9.3 Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall
be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other
intended disposition. 
 SECTION 9.4 Waiver of Notice and Claims. 

Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral
Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor
would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms
of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder, (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable
law, and (iv) 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 Agreement, or otherwise. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article IX in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of the Collateral Agent. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Pledgor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement
or any Collateral. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor
therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from,
through or under such Pledgor. 

  
 -27- 

 SECTION 9.5 Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral. 

(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental
Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such
sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have
been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales. 

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the
Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or Investment Property for their
own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public
sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to
register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the
reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, cause any registration, qualification under or compliance with any Federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the
Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors. Each Pledgor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including registration under the
Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with all other requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Collateral Agent to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, shall furnish to the Collateral Agent such
number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto as the Collateral Agent from time to time may request, and shall indemnify and shall cause the issuer of the Securities Collateral to indemnify the Collateral Agent and
all others participating in the distribution of such Securities Collateral against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related
registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading. 
 (d) If the Collateral Agent determines, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, to
exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall determine and inform the Collateral Agent of the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral which may be sold by
the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 

  
 -28- 

 (e) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Section 9.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a
consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and 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 and is continuing. 
 SECTION 9.6 No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 
 (a) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and
no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties; nor shall it be required to
marshal any collateral. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available. 

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement or any other Security Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such
case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 SECTION 9.7 Certain
Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and Section 9.8), upon the written demand of
the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the registered and applied for Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry
out the intent and purposes hereof. 
 SECTION 9.8 Actions of Collateral Agent. The Secured Parties holding at least 30% in principal
amount of the Secured Obligations outstanding at such time, voting as a single class, shall direct the Collateral Agent in exercising any right, power, discretionary duty or other remedy available to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any
Security Document in accordance with the terms and limitations contained in the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Secured Parties shall not have a right to take any actions with respect to the Collateral; provided
that if the Collateral Agent receives conflicting instructions from more than one group of Secured Parties holding at least 30% in principal amount of the Secured Obligations outstanding at such time, then the instructions from the group
representing the largest outstanding principal amount at such time shall control. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of a request therefor from the applicable Secured Parties (or such shorter
period as reasonably may be specified in such notice or as may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Secured Parties
and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction. 

  
 -29- 

 For the avoidance of doubt, any such direction shall be subject to clauses (1) and (2) of
Section 512 of the Indenture. 
 ARTICLE X 

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS 

SECTION 10.1 Application of Proceeds. 

(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, the proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection
from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral (including, without limitation, with respect to any Pledged Collateral or any Mortgaged Property) pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied,
together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document or in the Collateral Account, against the Secured Obligations as follows: 

(i) first, to pay incurred and unpaid
out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, penalties of and/or indemnification owed to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee under this Agreement, the Indenture or any other
Security Documents; 
 (ii) second, to pay incurred and unpaid out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, penalties of and/or indemnification owed to any Other Second-Priority Agent with respect to any Other Second-Priority Obligations under any Other Second-Priority Debt
Documents (such payments to be applied on a pro rata basis amongst such Other Second-Priority Agents); 
 (iii) third, to the
extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause, pro rata (based on the respective amounts of Secured Obligations described in subclauses (x) and (y) below) to (x) the Trustee, based on the
amount of Secured Obligations then outstanding under the Indenture and the Notes, for application as provided in the Indenture and (y) each Other Second-Priority Agent based on the amount of Secured Obligations then outstanding under the Other
Second-Priority Agreement pursuant to which it is acting as such, for application as provided in such Other Second-Priority Agreement; and 

(iv) fourth, any balance remaining after the Secured Obligations then due and owing shall have been paid in full shall be paid
over to the Pledgors or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same; provided that if the Collateral Agent decides, in its sole discretion, that it cannot determine who is entitled to receive said proceeds, it may file a
motion, with any court of competent jurisdiction, to interplead such proceeds, such proceeds to be reduced by the fees, costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent attributable to such motion. 

(b) In making the determination and allocations required by this Section 10.1, the Collateral Agent may conclusively
rely upon information supplied by the Trustee and the applicable Other Second-Priority Agent as to the fees, costs, expenses, penalties and/or indemnification owed to Trustee and to any Other Second-Priority Agent and by the Trustee as to amounts of
unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations outstanding under the Indenture and by the Other Second-Priority Agent as to such Other Second-Priority Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have
no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information. 

  
 -30- 

 (c) If, despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or
other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all
Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with this Section 10.1. 
 ARTICLE XI 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION
11.1 Concerning Collateral Agent. 
 (a) The Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Indenture. The
actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreements. The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising
any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Indenture. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral Agent may resign in the manner provided in the Indenture. A successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Indenture
and, as applicable, in the manner provided in each Other Second-Priority Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring
Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent. 

(b) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for
sale. The Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care (such care, in any event, being not more than the care it provides with regards to its own property or possessions) with respect to the Collateral in its possession or
under its control. Neither the Collateral 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 Collateral 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.    The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar
instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with
respect to any Pledged Collateral. 
 (c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a
commercially reasonable manner, each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral 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 

  
 -31- 

 
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 Pledgor, 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 Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the
Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Pledgor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1 is to provide non-exhaustive
indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be
deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Pledgor or to
impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 11.1. 

(d) The Pledgors and the Collateral 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 Pledgor agrees that the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so
long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action. 
 (e) [Reserved].

 (f) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document
or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by
it. 
 (g) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust,
mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of
such collateral, the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may select which provision or provisions shall control. 

  
 -32- 

 (h) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) each Pledgor shall remain
liable under this Agreement and under each of the underlying contracts to which such Pledgor is a party described herein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed,
(ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent or the Holders of any of their rights, remedies or powers hereunder shall not release any Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or such underlying contracts described herein
and (iii) neither the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation or liability under such underlying contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent be obligated
to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the Pledgors hereunder or under any of the contracts described herein. 
 (i) The
Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by
reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. Nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Pledgors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon
the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. 
 (j) In acting under and by virtue of this Agreement, the Collateral
Agent shall have all of the rights, protections and immunities granted to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee under the Indenture (including, but not limited to, the right to be indemnified under Section 607 of the Indenture), and all such
rights, protections and immunities are incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. 
 SECTION 11.2 Collateral Agent May
Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement during the continuance of any
Event of Default (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special assessments, levies, fees and governmental
charges imposed upon or assessed against, and landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation
of law against, all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral), subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreements and Section 9.8, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action) do the same or cause it to be done, and
may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and
when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of
Section 606 of the Indenture. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.2 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall prevent any such
failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its
attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral
Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Indenture, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes hereof (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority during the continuance of any Event of Default
is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof during the continuance of any
Event of Default. 

  
 -33- 

 SECTION 11.3 Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns, provided that, except as permitted by the Indenture and the Other Second-Priority Obligations
Documents, no Pledgor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and (ii) inure, together with the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other Persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall
have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to
any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Indenture or the applicable Other
Second-Priority Agreement. Each of the Pledgors agrees that its obligations hereunder and the security interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or
any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise. 

SECTION 11.4 Termination; Release. 

(a) When all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate and the Pledged Collateral shall be automatically
and without further action released from the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties created hereby, and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of each Pledgor to the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. At the sole expense of any Pledgor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver such
documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such release and termination. 
 (b) If any of the Collateral shall
(i) be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Pledgor in a sale, transfer or other disposition permitted by the Indenture and each Other Second-Priority Agreement, other than with respect to a sale, transfer or other disposition to
another Pledgor, or (ii) be or become an Excluded Asset pursuant to a transaction not prohibited by the Indenture and each other Second-Priority Obligations Document, then, in each case such Collateral shall be automatically and without further
action released from the security interests created by this Agreement. If a Pledgor is disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Indenture and each Other Second-Priority Agreement or is otherwise released from its guarantee pursuant to
(and to the extent permitted by) the Indenture and each Other Second-Priority Agreement, such Pledgor shall be automatically and without further action released from its obligations under this Agreement. In either case, the Collateral Agent, at the
request and sole expense of such Pledgor, shall execute and deliver to such Pledgor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the termination and release of the Liens created hereby on Collateral of such Pledgor, or such
Pledgor, as applicable, subject to, if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent’s receipt of an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuer stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Indenture and each
Other Second-Priority Agreement. 
 (c) The Liens securing the Secured Obligations in respect of the Notes will be released or subordinated,
in whole or in part, as provided in Section 1504 of the Indenture. 

  
 -34- 

 (d) The Liens securing Other Second-Priority Obligations of any series will be released or
subordinated, in whole or in part, as provided in the Other Second-Priority Agreement governing such obligations. 
 (e) The Liens securing
the Secured Obligations shall be released when required pursuant to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, following the request of the applicable party or parties thereto, subject to, if
reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent’s receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer stating that such release is in compliance with the Indenture, each Other Second-Priority Agreement and in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.5 Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification,
supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and each Other Second-Priority
Debt Document and unless in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto, without requirement of compliance with Section 9.8 hereof. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel and
Officers’ Certificate stating that such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by the Indenture, this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Other Second-Priority Debt Document, and that all conditions
precedent to the execution of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver have been satisfied. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any
Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document
evidencing the Secured Obligations (including any Other Second-Priority Debt Document), no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

SECTION 11.6 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, any notice or other communication herein required or
permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Indenture, as to any Pledgor, addressed to it at the address of the Issuer set forth in the Indenture, and as to the Collateral Agent, addressed to it at the
address set forth in the Indenture, as to any Other Second-Priority Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the applicable Other Second-Priority Joinder Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party
in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11.6. 
 SECTION
11.7 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. Section 112 of the Indenture is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof. 

SECTION 11.8 Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as

same force and effect as if made on such other day. 
 SECTION 11.11 [Reserved]. 

SECTION 11.12 No Claims Against Collateral Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the
Collateral Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority
to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Collateral Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any
Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof. 

SECTION 11.13 No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Security Document, nor the exercise by the Collateral Agent
of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or
from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such
Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or
warranty on the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Indenture, the other Security Documents or any Other Second-Priority Agreement, or under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Pledged Collateral by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document
included in the Pledged Collateral hereunder. The obligations of each Pledgor contained in this Section 11.13 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of such Pledgor’s other obligations under this
Agreement, the Indenture, the other Security Documents and any Other Second-Priority Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.14 Obligations
Absolute. All obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 
 (i) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any other Pledgor; 

(ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, any other Security Document or any Other Second-Priority
Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
 (iii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment
of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any Other Second-Priority Agreement or any Security Document, or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto; 

  
 -36- 

 (iv) any pledge, exchange, release or
non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations; 

(v) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under
or in respect hereof, the Indenture, any Other Second-Priority Agreement or any Security Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, except as specifically set forth in a waiver granted pursuant to the provisions of
Section 11.5 hereof; or 
 (vi) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor. 
 SECTION 11.15 Other Second-Priority Obligations. 

(a) On or after the Issue Date, the Issuer may from time to time designate additional obligations as Other Second-Priority Obligations by
delivering to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Other Second-Priority Agent, if any: (a) a certificate signed by an Officer of the Issuer (i) identifying the obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face
amount thereof, stating that such obligations are designated as “Other Second-Priority Obligations” for purposes hereof and the Indenture, (ii) representing that such designation complies with the terms of the Indenture and each then
extant Other Second-Priority Agreement, (iii) specifying the name and address of the Other Second-Priority Agent for such obligations (if other than the Trustee) and (iv) stating that the Pledgors have complied with their obligations under
Article III; (b) except in the case of Additional Notes, a fully executed Other Second-Priority Joinder Agreement (in the form attached as Exhibit 7 hereto); (c) an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the designation of
such obligations as “Other Second-Priority Obligations” does not violate the terms of the Indenture and each then extant Other Second-Priority Agreement (upon which the Collateral Agent may conclusively and exclusively rely); and
(d) if required by the Collateral Agent, evidence that the Other Second-Priority Agent for the applicable series of Other Second-Priority Obligations, if any, has entered into an agency agreement with the Collateral Agent that is acceptable to
the Collateral Agent, acting in its sole discretion. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the delivery of the Other Second-Priority Joinder Agreement set
forth above, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to act as Collateral Agent for any New Secured Parties (as such term is defined in Exhibit 7 hereto) whatsoever or to execute any document whatsoever (including any agency agreement) if
in the sole judgment of the Collateral Agent doing so would impose, purport to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligation or liability for which the Collateral Agent is not, as determined in its sole
discretion, fully protected. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be subject to any document that it has not executed. The Other Second-Priority Joinder Agreement shall not be effective until it has been accepted in writing by the Collateral
Agent. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the pari passu nature of all Secured Obligations in respect of the Indenture Obligations, on the one
hand, and any Other Second-Priority Obligations, on the other hand, in the event of any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (i) any of such Other Second-Priority Obligations are unenforceable under applicable law or are
subordinated to any other obligations, (ii) any of such Other Second-Priority Obligations does not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Pledged Collateral and/or (iii) any intervening security interest exists securing any
other obligations (other than Indenture Obligations or Other Second-Priority Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Other Second-Priority Obligations but junior to the security interest of the Indenture Obligations
(any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) with respect to any such Other Second-Priority Obligations, an “Impairment” of such Other Second-Priority Obligations), the

  
 -37- 

 
results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the holders of such Other Second-Priority Obligations and the rights of the holders of such Other Second-Priority Obligations (including,
without limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such Other Second-Priority Obligations) set forth in this Agreement shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment are borne solely by the holders
of such Other Second-Priority Obligations subject to such Impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Pledged Collateral for which a third party (other than a holder of Other Second-Priority Obligations) has a Lien or security
interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of the holders of the Indenture Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of the holder of any Other
Second-Priority Obligations (such third party, an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Pledged Collateral or Proceeds thereof which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the
Pledged Collateral or Proceeds thereof to be distributed in respect of the Other Second-Priority Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists. 

SECTION 11.16 Intercreditor Agreements. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor
Agreement), the requirements of this Agreement to deliver any ABL Priority Collateral and any certificates, instruments, chattel paper, titles or documents of any kind (including, but not limited to, endorsements and stock powers) in relation
thereto to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such Collateral and such certificates, instruments or documents in relation thereto to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent (as bailee for the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement). 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of First
Lien Obligations (as defined in the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement), the requirements of this Agreement to deliver any Pledged Collateral and any certificates, instruments, chattel paper, titles or documents of any kind (including,
but not limited to, endorsements and stock powers) in relation thereto to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such Collateral and such certificates, instruments or documents in relation thereto to the First-Priority
Collateral Agent (as bailee for the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement). 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement, each other Notes Document and the other Second-Priority Obligations Documents are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements in all respects and, in
the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements shall govern. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the priority of the Lien on and
security interest in the Non-ABL Priority Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to any Notes Document are expressly subject and subordinate to the Lien on
and security interest in the Non-ABL Priority Collateral granted to the First-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to the Term Loan Facility, (ii) the priority of the Lien on and security interest in the
ABL Priority Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to any Notes Document are expressly subject and subordinate to the Lien on and security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral granted to the
ABL Facility Collateral Agent pursuant to the ABL Facility and (iii) the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Notes Document is subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreements. 
 SECTION 11.17 Headings. The title of and Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 -38- 

 SECTION 11.18 Indemnity. Each Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent, and
its 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 Collateral Agent is a party thereto) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent, or its successors, assigns, agents and employees, in any way relating to or arising out of this 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
Collateral Agent or any Pledgor, and any claim for Patent, Trademark or Copyright infringement) in accordance with Article 6 and Article 15 of the Indenture.

terms in the Security Agreement), dated as of June 25, 2018, made by Aleris International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), the Guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as
collateral agent pursuant to the Indenture (in such capacity and together with any successors in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”). 

This Joinder Agreement supplements the Security Agreement and is delivered by the undersigned,
[                ] (the “New Pledgor”), pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Security Agreement. The New Pledgor hereby agrees to be
bound as a Guarantor and as a Pledgor party to the Security Agreement by all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Security Agreement to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Security
Agreement on the date of the Security Agreement. The New Pledgor also hereby agrees to be bound as a party by all of the terms, covenants and conditions applicable to it set forth in the Indenture to the same extent that it would have been bound if
it had been a signatory to the Indenture on the execution date of the Indenture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Pledgor hereby grants and pledges to the Collateral Agent, as collateral security for the full, prompt and
complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, a Lien on and security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Pledged Collateral and
expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Guarantor and Pledgor thereunder. The New Pledgor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to each of the covenants applicable to the Pledgors contained in the Security
Agreement. 
 Annexed hereto are supplements to each of the schedules to the Perfection Certificate with respect to the New Pledgor. 

This Joinder Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
a signature page of this Joinder Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred under any revolving credit facility that has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the
commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation
Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement or extinguishing of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (the “reference period”). 

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed
operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the
Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed operations (and the change in any associated Fixed Charges and the change in EBITDA
resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since
the beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be
calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation had occurred at the beginning of the reference period. 

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good
faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower. Any such pro forma calculation may include, without duplication, adjustments appropriate to reflect (1) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or

such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to the reference period. 
 If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of
interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations
applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Financing Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in
such Financing Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average
daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate,
shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

complete or partial termination of such Foreign Plan or the complete or partial withdrawal of any participating employer therein, or (e) the occurrence of any transaction that is prohibited under any applicable Law and that could reasonably be

required payments of principal, including payment at final maturity, in respect thereof, by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth) that will elapse between such date and the
making of such payment; by (ii) the then outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness. 
 “Wholly Owned”
means, with respect to a Subsidiary of a Person, a Subsidiary of such Person all of the outstanding Equity Interests of which (other than (x) director’s qualifying shares and (y) shares issued to foreign nationals to the extent
required by applicable Law) are owned by such Person and/or by one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of such Person. 

  
 69 

 “Withholding Agent” means any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, or
any other applicable withholding agent, as applicable. 
 “Write-Down and Conversion Powers” means, with respect to
any EEA Resolution Authority, the write-down and conversion powers of such EEA Resolution Authority from time to time under the Bail-In Legislation for the applicable EEA Member Country, which write-down and
conversion powers are described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule. 

“Yield” means, for any Indebtedness (whether in the form of term loans or notes) as of any date of determination, the
sum of (x) the interest rate margin for such Indebtedness that bears interest based on a eurodollar rate on such date (or, if such Indebtedness is fixed rate, the interest rate applicable thereto) and (y) if such Indebtedness is originally
advanced at a discount or the lenders or holders making the same receive an “upfront” or similar fee (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, arrangement, underwriting, syndication, structuring fees, and commitment fees or other fees
payable to any arrangers or underwriters in connection therewith) directly or indirectly from Holdings or the Borrower for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, being
referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Indebtedness as of the date such Indebtedness is incurred and (B) four; provided that for
purposes of determining the First Lien Equivalent Yield Differential or the First Lien Incremental Yield Differential, any difference between the “eurodollar rate floors” with respect to the relevant Indebtedness shall be equated to
interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the existing Term Facility shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the existing Term Facility would cause an
increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the existing Term Facility shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate
floors; provided, further, that any Indebtedness that constitutes fixed-rate Indebtedness shall be swapped to a floating rate on a customary matched-maturity basis. The Yield of any Indebtedness shall be determined after taking into
account any repricing of such Indebtedness that has become effective prior to such date of determination (it being understood that if any such repricing was effected as a refinancing tranche, the OID applicable to the refinanced loans shall be taken
into account in addition to any OID applicable to the refinancing loans). The Yield shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower.

the adoption of changes in GAAP or changes in the application of GAAP and no reconciliation statements will be required to reflect any changes in GAAP with respect to the treatment of leases. 

  
 71 

 1.04 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to

performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day. 
 1.08 Currency Equivalents Generally. Any amount specified in
this Agreement (other than in Articles II, IX and X) or any of the other Loan Documents to be in Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars, such equivalent amount to be
determined at the rate of exchange quoted by DB at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding any date of determination thereof, to prime banks in New York, New York for the spot purchase in the New York foreign exchange market
of such amount in Dollars with such other currency. 
 1.09 Pro Forma Calculations. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, EBITDA, the First Lien Net
Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated (including, but not limited to, for purposes of Section 2.12) on a Pro Forma Basis with
respect to each Specified Transaction occurring during the applicable four quarter period to which such calculation relates, or subsequent to the end of such four-quarter period but not later than the date of such calculation; provided that
notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining the applicable percentage of Excess Cash Flow and the application of Net Cash Proceeds from Dispositions and Event of Losses set forth in
Section 2.03, the events described in the definition of Pro Forma Basis (and corresponding provisions of the definition of EBITDA) that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable four quarter period shall not be given
Pro Forma Effect. 

  
 72 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any action required to be
taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of: 
 (i) calculating the First Lien Net Leverage
Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and other financial calculations (including, but not limited to, for purposes of Section 2.12); 

(ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, Defaults or Events of Defaults; or 

(iii) testing availability under covenant baskets set forth in this Agreement (including covenant baskets measured as a
percentage of EBITDA), 
 in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited
Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into or, at the option of the Borrower, the date
the irrevocable notice of repayment, redemption or offer to purchase is delivered, as applicable (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions
required to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCT Test Date,
the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such representation, warranty, ratio, test or basket, such representation, warranty, ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with;
provided that availability under any ratio and the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may in any event be recalculated, at the option of the Borrower, on the closing date of the Limited Condition Transaction. For the
avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such representations,
warranties, ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in EBITDA of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such representations,
warranties, baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any
representations, warranties, ratio, test or basket availability with respect to any transaction required to be entered into in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of
(i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition
Transaction, for purposes of determining whether any such required transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other
transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided, however, that with respect to a Limited Condition Transaction funded with any Incremental
First Lien Term Facilities, covenant baskets measured as a percentage of EBITDA shall not be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect to such Limited Condition Transaction. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction,
then in connection with any calculation of any other ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence), the making of
any Permitted Investment, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other 

  
 73 

 transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase,
defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case, not required to be entered into in connection with the applicable Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent
Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (x) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (y) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition
Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (or the date on which the Borrower demonstrates to the Administrative Agent that it has elected not to pursue such Limited Condition Transaction), for
purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions
required to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided, in the case of Restricted Payments (other than Investments) such ratio tests and
baskets will be tested both as if such transaction had been consummated and as if such transaction had not been consummated. 
 1.10
Financial Ratio Calculations. With respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of any Loan Document that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the
Total Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio, First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) under any covenant (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) a part of the same transaction or series of
related transactions with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on another provision of such covenant that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Total Net Leverage Ratio, Secured
Net Leverage Ratio, First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts under such covenant shall be disregarded
in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to such Incurrence-Based Amounts under such covenant. 
 1.11 Basket
Calculations. 
 (a) If any of the baskets set forth in this Agreement are exceeded solely as a result of either (x) fluctuations to
EBITDA for the most recently completed fiscal quarter after the last time such baskets were calculated for any purpose under this Agreement or (y) fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates after the last time such baskets were
calculated for any purpose under this Agreement, such baskets will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations; provided, that for purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar denominated restrictions on
the incurrence of Liens, Investments, Indebtedness, Dispositions or Restricted Payments, the dollar equivalent principal amount of such Lien, Indebtedness, Disposition or Restricted Payment shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange
rate in effect on the date of such incurrence or application, as applicable; provided, further, that the maximum amount of any Liens, Indebtedness, Dispositions or Restricted Payments shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a
result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. 
 (b) With respect to the calculation of any leverage ratio herein or in any
other Loan Document prior to the first date that financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), such leverage ratio shall be tested with respect to the four (4) consecutive fiscal
quarter period ending on or about March 31, 2018 (and EBITDA, as used in any such ratio, shall be determined in accordance with the last paragraph of the definition of “EBITDA”). 

  
 74 

 1.12 Classification of Term Loans and Term Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement,
Term Loans may be classified and referred to by Class or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Rate Loan”). Term Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Term
Borrowing”). 
 1.13 Eurodollar Replacement. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have
determined, that: 
 (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested
Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 

(b) the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made
a public statement identifying a specific date after which Eurodollar Rate or the Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability
Date”), or 
 (c) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained
in this Section 1.13, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace Eurodollar, 

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace Eurodollar with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any
evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “Eurodollar Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Eurodollar
Successor Rate Conforming Changes, and any such amendment shall become effective (i) in the case of clause (a) and (b) above, at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall
have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment
and (ii) in the case of clause (c) above, upon execution of an amendment by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 

  
 75 

 ARTICLE II 

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS 

2.01 The Initial Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Initial Term Lender severally agrees to
make a single term loan denominated in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed the Initial Term Commitment of such Initial Term Lender. The Term Borrowing shall consist of Initial Term Loans made simultaneously by the
Initial Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Initial Term Commitments. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Initial Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans
or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
 2.02 Term Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Term Loans. 

(a) Each Term Borrowing of Term Loans, each conversion of Term Loans from a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or vice versa) and each
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (provided that such notice may be conditional on one or more conditions precedent), which may initially be given by
telephone and promptly confirmed in writing by delivering to the Administrative Agent a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, prior to the applicable time specified in the
immediately succeeding sentence. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (A) with respect to Term Borrowings of Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date, 10:00 a.m. (New York time) one Business Day prior to
the Closing Date, (B) with respect to Term Borrowings of Incremental First Lien Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Credit Agreement Debt consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans, conversions of Initial Term Loans, Incremental First Lien Term Loans
or Specified Refinancing Credit Agreement Debt from one Type to the other and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, 2:00 p.m. (New York Time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Term Borrowing, conversion or
continuation or (C) with respect to Term Borrowings of Incremental First Lien Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Credit Agreement Debt consisting of Base Rate Loans, 10:00 a.m. (New York Time) on the requested date of such Term Borrowing;
provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent    not later than 12:30 p.m. (New York Time) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Term Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 12:30 p.m. (New York Time) three (3) Business Days before
the requested date of such Term Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Appropriate
Lenders. Each Term Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Term Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (1) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing of Term Loans, a conversion
of Term Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, 

  
 76 

 
(2) the requested date of such Term Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (3) the principal amount of Term Loans to be borrowed,
converted or continued, (4) the Type of Term Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans are to be converted and (5) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type
of Term Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to
Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Term Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans
in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period or if a requested Interest Period is not been consented to by the Lenders as hereinabove provided, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one
(1) month. 
 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount
of its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans
described in Section 2.02(a). Each Lender shall make the amount of its Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon (New
York Time) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Term Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension,
Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein,
a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the
existence of an Event of Default, no Term Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans and the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent acting with the consent of the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then
outstanding Term Loans be prepaid and/or any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted into Base Rate Loans, in each case on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or such other day as the
Required Lenders may demand. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the interest
rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate and the Screen Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the announcement of such change. 

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings or all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations to Term Loans
of the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect. 

  
 77 

 (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by it as part of any Term
Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Term Loan on the date of such Term Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by
such other Lender on the date of any Term Borrowing. 
 2.03 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional. 

(i) General. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily
prepay any Class of Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (subject to Section 2.03(d)); provided that (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (x)
2:00 p.m. (New York Time) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (b) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (c) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount
of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) and Class(es) of Term Loans to be
prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Term Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s
ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to
Section 2.13, each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall be applied in direct order of maturities to the principal repayment installments (or proportional
fractions thereof) applicable to each of the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.05(a) or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro
Rata Shares. All prepayments under this Section 2.03(a)(i) shall be subject to Section 2.03(d). 

(ii) Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice
of prepayment under Section 2.03(a)(i) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Term Facility or any other condition precedent specified in the notice of prepayment, which refinancing or other
condition precedent shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. 

  
 78 

 (iii) Voluntary Non-Pro-Rata Prepayments. 
 (A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, any Borrower Purchasing Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Class of Term Loans at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment”) without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 3.05) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.03(a)(iii), provided that (1) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (after giving effect to any related waivers or amendments obtained in connection with such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment), (2) each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary
Prepayment contained in this Section 2.03(a)(iii) has been satisfied, (3) [reserved] and (4) the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid pursuant to
such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment. 
 (B) To the extent any Borrower Purchasing Party seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary
Prepayment, such Borrower Purchasing Party will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that such Borrower
Purchasing Party desires to prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by such Borrower Purchasing Party (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value
of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Term Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further
specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for the Term Loans, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by such Borrower Purchasing Party with
respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of Term Loans (the “Discount Range”); provided that such Borrower Purchasing Party may elect not to include
a Discount Range in the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least two (2) Business
Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”). 
 (C)
Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify all Term Lenders. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Term Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit
L hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(iii)(A) (which notice shall become irrevocable) (A) a maximum discount to par
(the “Acceptable Discount”), which Acceptable Discount shall be within the Discount Range, if the Discount Range is specified in the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of
20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Term Loans to be prepaid), and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans held by such Lender with
respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (the “Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts 

  
 79 

 
and principal amounts of the Offered Loans specified by the Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party, acting
jointly, shall determine the applicable discount for the Term Loans (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by such Borrower Purchasing Party if such Borrower
Purchasing Party has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii)(B) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which such Borrower Purchasing Party
can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that
such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be (x) the highest Acceptable Discount within the Discount Range or (y) if no Discount Range was specified in the
Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the highest Acceptable Discount acceptable to such Borrower Purchasing Party. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and
have Qualifying Loans. Any Lender with outstanding Term Loans whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of
its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount. 
 (D) The applicable Borrower Purchasing
Party shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or
greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount, provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time)
would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, such Borrower Purchasing Party shall prepay such Qualifying Loans
ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans
(disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, such Borrower Purchasing
Party shall prepay all Qualifying Loans. In connection with each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iii), each Qualifying Lender acknowledges and agrees that in connection therewith,
(1) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such prepayment and
(2) none of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or the Sponsors or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of material non-public
information regarding Holdings, the Sponsors and their respective Affiliates. 

  
 80 

 (E) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five
(5) Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount
and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 3.05), upon irrevocable notice (provided that such notice may be conditional on one or more conditions precedent)
substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New York Time), one (1) Business Day prior to the
date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary
Prepayment Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Qualifying Lenders,
subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Term Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid. 

(F) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to
procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(iii)(C) above) established by the Administrative Agent in
consultation with the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party. 
 (G) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment
Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party may withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (B) any Lender
may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice. 

(H) For the avoidance of doubt, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be an
automatic and immediate cancellation and extinguishment of the Term Loans prepaid. With respect to each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (1) the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the par
principal amount of the applicable Term Loans to the date of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and, if any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower
Purchasing Party shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.05 and (2) such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall not change the scheduled 

  
 81 

 
amortization of the Term Loans required by Section 2.05, except to reduce the amount outstanding and due and payable on the Maturity Date of the Class of Term Loans
subject to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (and such reduction, for the avoidance of doubt, shall only apply, on a non-pro-rata basis, to the Term Loans that are
the subject of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment). 
 (iv) In connection with any voluntary prepayment of any
Class of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a), such voluntary prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner
that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05. 
 (b)
Mandatory. 
 (i) Excess Cash Flow. Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been
delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(d), commencing with the fiscal year ending on or about December 31,
2019, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) 50% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the proviso below) of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period covered by such financial statements
minus (B) the aggregate amount of voluntary principal prepayments, open market repurchases and loan repurchases of Term Loans, Junior Lien Notes and ABL Loans (but only to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in
the revolving credit commitments) (in each case, to the extent of the actual cash purchase price paid and not the par value) minus (C) $2,500,000 (in the case of clause (B), to the extent such payments and/or prepayments are made
during such Excess Cash Flow Period or, at the option of the Borrower, following such Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to the date of such Excess Cash Flow payment (it being agreed that, if the Borrower elects to deduct any such post-year end
payments, such amounts shall not be deducted with respect to any subsequent fiscal year) and to the extent financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (excluding any revolving facility)); provided that such percentage shall be
reduced to 25% or 0% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the prior fiscal year was less than 3.00:1.00 or 2.50:1.00, respectively. 

(ii) Dispositions and Event of Losses. (A) If (x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any
property or assets pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.05(a) (other than any Disposition of assets comprising ABL Priority Collateral) or (y) any Event of Loss (other than any Event of Loss
with respect to assets comprising the ABL Priority Collateral) occurs (any such transaction or series of related transactions being a “Relevant Transaction”), then if such Relevant Transaction, together with all other
Relevant Transactions occurring in the same fiscal year of the Borrower, would result in the realization or receipt by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of aggregate Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, the Borrower shall, except
(i) with respect to any Specified Asset Sale Proceeds and (ii) to the extent the Borrower is permitted to and does elect to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with
Section 2.03(b)(ii)(B), prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the proviso below) of all Net Cash Proceeds

  
 82 

 
received from such Relevant Transaction within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such percentage shall be
reduced to 50% or 0% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (calculated without netting such Net Cash Proceeds) as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or (b) was less than 3.00:1.00 or 2.00:1.00, respectively. 
 (B) With
respect to (x) any Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the Minimum Cash Consideration realized or received with respect to any Disposition or (y) any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Event of Loss, in each case that is
subject to the mandatory repayment requirement set forth in Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) above, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash
Proceeds in assets useful for its business within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if Holdings, the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has contractually
committed within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, five hundred and forty-five (545) days following receipt of
such Net Cash Proceeds). 
 (C) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to this
Section 2.03(b)(ii) and in a manner that is otherwise permitted by this Agreement, when the amount of any Net Cash Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor will deposit such Net Cash
Proceeds into the Collateral Account; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, all such Net Cash Proceeds shall be deposited into and remain in the Collateral Account pending the final application of any Net
Cash Proceeds pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(ii) and in a manner that is otherwise permitted by this Agreement. 

(iii) Indebtedness. Within five (5) Business Days after the incurrence or issuance by Holdings or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of any Specified Refinancing Debt or any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary.  

(iv) Application of Payments. Subject to Sections 2.12(b)(ii) and 2.13, each prepayment
of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall be applied pro rata among (A) unless otherwise provided in the documentation governing any Incremental First Lien Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Debt, the
outstanding Classes of the Term Facility (or, in the case of the incurrence of Specified Refinancing Debt, to any Class(es) of the Term Facility, as designated by the Borrower, to be refinanced with the proceeds thereof and allocated as specified by
the Borrower) (and within any Class of the Term Facility on a pro rata basis to the applicable Lenders of such Class) and (B) at the option of the Borrower, any other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the First Lien

  
 83 

 
Obligations if and to the extent required by the terms thereof (and any amount not so required to be used to prepay such other Indebtedness or not so opted by the Borrower shall instead be
allocated to the Term Loans pursuant to the preceding clause (A)) and to the remaining principal repayment installments of such Class of the Term Facility, in direct order of maturity, or as otherwise directed by the
Borrower to the remaining installments of such Class of the Term Facility and (C) in the case of each Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche, as set forth in the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment with respect to such
Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche; and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders and the Incremental First Lien Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 

(v) Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.03 shall be made together with,
in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of Section 2.03(b), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans is required to be made under this
Section 2.03(b), other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a cash
collateral account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the
prepayment of such Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.03(b). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by
or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.03(b). 

(vi) Foreign Dispositions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.03, (i) to
the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local
Law from being repatriated to the United States, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or such Excess Cash Flow so affected (any such portion being “Restricted Proceeds”) will not be required to be applied
to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.03(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local Law will not permit repatriation to the United
States (the Borrower hereby agreeing, within the first 12 months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or such Excess Cash Flow Period, as applicable, to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions required by the
applicable local Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such Restricted Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, an amount equal to such Restricted Proceeds will be promptly applied (net of additional
taxes that would be payable or reserved against as a result of repatriating such amounts) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in
good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have material adverse tax 

  
 84 

 
consequences to Holdings and its Subsidiaries, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or portion of the Excess Cash Flow, otherwise required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to
Section 2.03(b) shall not be required to be applied to such prepayments unless and until such material adverse tax consequences no longer exist. 

(vii) Order of Payments. If there are no Declining Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(c) in
connection with any prepayment of any Class of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), such prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate
Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05. 

(viii) Notice. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, the Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice prior to making any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans under this Section 2.03(b) and the amount of such mandatory
prepayment. 
 (c) Term Opt-out. With respect to any prepayment of any Term Facility (other
than prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(iii)), any Term Lender, at its option, may elect not to accept such prepayment; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such Term Lender may elect to accept a
partial prepayment. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice of prepayment of the Term Facility, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Term Lenders of the amount available to prepay the Term Loans and the date on which
such prepayment shall be made (the “Prepayment Date”), which date shall be ten (10) Business Days after the date of such receipt (or such other date as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall reasonably agree).
Any Lender declining such prepayment (a “Declining Lender”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on the Business Day immediately following notice of such prepayment (or such
other date as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall reasonably agree). On the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to that portion of the Prepayment Amount accepted by the Term Lenders other than the Declining Lenders (such Lenders being the
“Accepting Lenders”) to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders shall be applied ratably to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders in the manner described in Section 2.03(b) for
such prepayment. Any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans owing to Declining Lenders (such amounts, “Declined Amounts”) shall instead be retained by the Borrower or otherwise applied in any
manner not prohibited hereunder, including the prepayment of Junior Lien Notes. 
 (d) Prepayment Premium. (x) Any optional
prepayment of any portion of the outstanding Initial Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including any mandatory assignment pursuant to
Section 3.07 in connection therewith) and (y) any prepayment of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(iii) in connection with a Repricing Transaction or any amendment to this
Agreement in connection with a Repricing Transaction (in each case including any mandatory assignment pursuant to Section 3.07 in connection therewith), in each case of clause (x) and (y) on or prior to
the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date, shall be subject to a premium equal to the principal amount of Initial Term Loans subject to such prepayment or the principal amount of Initial Term Loans affected by such amendment (or
mandatorily assigned in connection therewith), as applicable, multiplied by 1%. Any prepayment of all or any portion of the outstanding Initial Term Loans on or after the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date shall not be subject to
a premium. 

  
 85 

 2.04 Termination or Reduction of Term Commitments. 

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused portions of the Term Commitments,
or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portions of the Term Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or
reduction and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, in each case, for the account of the
applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, any fees on the amount of the Term Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction. 

(b) Mandatory. The aggregate Initial Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero after the making of the
Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date. 
 (c) Application of Commitment Reductions. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Term Commitments under this Section 2.04. Upon any reduction of unused Term Commitments under any Class of the Term Facility, the Term Commitment of
each Lender under such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Class is reduced (other than the termination of the Term Commitment of any Lender as provided in
Section 3.07). 
 2.05 Repayment of Initial Term Loans. 

The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Initial Term Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all
Initial Term Loans outstanding in consecutive quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans funded on the Closing Date (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the
application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Sections 2.03 and 2.04, or, at the option of the Borrower, be increased as a result of any incurrence of Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.12 or a Specified Refinancing Debt Amendment in order to preserve the “fungibility” of the Initial Term Loans with such Incremental First Lien Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Credit Agreement Debt),
with each such installment due and payable, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending after the Closing Date, on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower; provided, however, that the final
principal repayment installment of each Class of Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date for such Class of Term Loans and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of such
Class outstanding on such date. 

  
 86 

 2.06 Interest. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan that is a Term Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the greater of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period and (y) 0.00% plus (B) the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan that is a Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the greater of (x) 1.00% and (y) the Base Rate, plus (B) the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans. 

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all overdue First Lien Obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, all First Lien Obligations following the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(f) and (g)) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

(c) Interest on each Term Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as
may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

2.07 Fees. 
 (a) The
Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for their own respective accounts, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Engagement Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall
not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon
in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. 

All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans calculated by reference to the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of three
hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a
three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty-five (365) day year). Interest shall accrue on
each Term Loan for the day on which the Term Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such portion is paid, provided, that any Term Loan that is repaid on the same day on
which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error. 

  
 87 

 2.09 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the ordinary
course of business. The accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.
Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the First Lien Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Term Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), Class
(if applicable), amount and maturity of its Term Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) Entries made in good faith by each Lender in
its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.09(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to such Lender under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure of such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in such account or accounts shall not limit the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 2.10 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s
Clawback. 
 (a) General. Subject to Section 3.01, all payments to be made by the Borrower shall
be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, in each case, for the
account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York Time). The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share in respect of the applicable Term Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments
received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York Time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due
on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension
would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender prior to 12:00 noon (New York Time) on the date of a Term Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Term Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender
has not in fact made its share of the applicable Term Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative 

  
 88 

 
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (x) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (y) in the case of a payment to be made by
the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower
the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Term Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Term
Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
Section 2.10(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.
If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Term Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as
received from such Lender) to such Lender on demand, without interest. 
 (d) Obligations of the Lenders Several. The obligations of
the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.07 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Term Loan or to make any payment under
Section 9.07 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Term Loan or to make its payment under Section 9.07. 

  
 89 

 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the
funds for any Term Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Term Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest, premium and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
interest, premium and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(g) Unallocated Funds. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the First Lien Obligations of the Loan Parties
under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds
to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Term Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Term Loans or other First Lien Obligations then
owing to such Lender. 
 2.11 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein (including the application of
funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Term Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its
ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Term Loans made by them as
shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Term Loans, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that
extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further
interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to
Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.11 and will in each case notify the Lenders following 

  
 90 

 
any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all
notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the First Lien Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the First Lien
Obligations purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to the prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii), or Section 2.03(b)(iii) (out
of proceeds of the Specified Refinancing Debt), the implementation of the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment or to the assignments and participations described in Section 10.07. 

2.12 Incremental First Lien Term Facilities. 

(a) Upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may request one or more additional
tranches of term loans or increases to any then-existing Class of the Term Facility (each an “Incremental First Lien Term Commitment” and all of them, collectively, the “Incremental First Lien Term
Commitments”, and each credit facility providing for such Incremental First Lien Term Commitments an “Incremental First Lien Term Facility”); provided that no Lender shall be required to participate in any
Incremental First Lien Term Facility; provided, further, that after giving effect to any such addition, the aggregate principal amount of Incremental First Lien Term Commitments that have been added pursuant to this
Section 2.12 shall not exceed the sum of (x) the Fixed Dollar Amount minus the aggregate principal amount of (i) all Permitted Other First Lien Indebtedness incurred under clause (x) of the definition
thereof and (ii) all Permitted Other Junior Lien Indebtedness incurred under clause (x) of the definition thereof, plus (y) the aggregate principal amount of all voluntary prepayments, open market repurchases and loan or
note repurchases of Term Loans, any Permitted Other First Lien Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Obligations, in each case made at or prior to such time (in each case, excluding
prepayments funded with proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness)) minus the aggregate principal amount of all Permitted Other First Lien Indebtedness incurred under clause (y) of the definition thereof of
and all Permitted Other Junior Lien Indebtedness incurred under clause (y) of the definition thereof in reliance on the credit in such clause for any voluntary prepayments and open market purchases of Term Loans, Permitted Other First
Lien Indebtedness, and any other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Obligations, plus (z) such additional amount that would not, after giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the incurrence thereof, cause
the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (without netting the cash and Cash Equivalents constituting proceeds of the applicable Incremental First Lien Term Facilities), as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial
statements have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), to exceed 3.75:1.00; and any such addition shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $20,000,000.
The Borrower may (I) incur Incremental First Lien Term Commitments under clause (x), (y) or (z) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence in such order as it may elect in its sole discretion and shall
be allowed to classify under which clause such Incremental First Lien Term Commitments are being incurred at the time of such incurrence, without giving Pro Forma Effect to any Incremental First Lien Term Facilities or any increases of the Term
Facility (or any portion thereof) in each case permitted to be incurred under Sections 2.12(a)(x) and 2.12(a)(y) that is being incurred as part of the same transaction or series of related transactions when calculating the amount of
Incremental First Lien Term Commitments (or any portion thereof) 

  
 91 

 
that may be incurred pursuant to clause (z) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence and (II) later reclassify Indebtedness incurred under clauses
(x) or (y) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence as incurred pursuant to clause (z) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, if at the time of such reclassification, the Borrower
would have been permitted to incur such Indebtedness under such clause (z). Any loans made in respect of any such Incremental First Lien Term Commitments (the “Incremental First Lien Term Loans”) may be made, at the
option of the Borrower, by either (i) increasing a given Class of Term Commitments with the same terms (including pricing) as the existing Term Loans of such Class, in which case such Incremental First Lien Term Loans shall constitute Term
Loans of such Class for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (ii) creating a new Class of term loans (an “Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche”). The Incremental First Lien Term
Facilities shall rank either pari passu or junior (as elected by the Borrower in its sole discretion) in right of payment and in respect of lien priority as to the Collateral with the outstanding Term Loans. The proceeds of the Incremental First
Lien Term Facilities shall be used for working capital, Capital Expenditures and other general corporate purposes (including any actions permitted by Article VII, including permitted Restricted Payments) of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries. 
 (b) The Incremental First Lien Term Loans comprising each Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche: 

(i) other than customary bridge facilities that roll, subject only to customary conditions, into long-term Indebtedness that
satisfies the requirements of this clause (b)(i), shall have a maturity date that is not prior to the Latest Maturity Date of all Classes of Term Loans then in effect and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than
that of the Term Loans; 
 (ii) shall share ratably (and may not share more than ratably) in any prepayments of the Term
Facility (unless the Incremental First Lien Lenders with respect to such Incremental First Lien Term Loans agree to receive prepayments after the prepayments of the Term Facility or any other Incremental First Lien Term Loans); 

(iii) except as set forth in subsection (a) above and this subsection (b) with respect to prepayment
events, prepayment premiums, maturity date, interest rate, yield, fees and original issue discounts and except with respect to the amortization schedule for the Incremental First Lien Term Loans and the permitted use of proceeds thereof, shall
either (1) have terms, when taken as a whole, that are substantially the same terms as, or no more favorable to the Incremental First Lien Lenders, the outstanding Term Loans (except for any terms that are either (1) also added for the
benefit of the existing Term Lenders or (2) only applicable to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of all Classes of Term Loans then in effect) or (2) otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided
that a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the Administrative Agent at least four (4) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the incurrence of such Incremental First Lien
Term Facility, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material covenants and events of default of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such
terms and conditions satisfy the 

  
 92 

 
requirement of this clause (iii) shall be conclusive evidence that such material covenants and events of default satisfy such requirement, unless the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower within such four (4) Business Day (or shorter) period that it disagrees with such determination (including a description of the basis upon which it disagrees)); provided that if the initial Yield on any syndicated, Dollar
denominated Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being herein referred to as the “First Lien Incremental Yield Differential”) the Yield
then in effect for any outstanding Initial Term Loans, then the Applicable Rate then in effect for such outstanding Initial Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the First Lien Incremental Yield Differential, effective upon the making of
the Incremental First Lien Term Loans under the Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche; provided that the foregoing proviso shall not apply to any Incremental First Lien Term Loan Tranche that is incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition
or other Investment permitted under this Agreement; 
 (iv) may be denominated in Dollars, euros or any other currency
reasonably acceptable to the applicable Incremental First Lien Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and 
 (v) and shall
have no obligor in respect of any such Indebtedness that is not a Loan Party and shall not be secured by any Liens on any assets that are not Collateral. 

(c) Incremental First Lien Term Loans (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or investing entity (but
in no case (i) by any Loan Party, (ii) except in compliance with the proviso of Section 2.12(h) below, by an Affiliated Lender, (iii) by any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) by any
Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in clause (iii), or (v) by any natural person) (each, except to the extent excluded pursuant to the foregoing parenthetical, an
“Incremental First Lien Lender”), in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.12(c) and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that the
Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Incremental First Lien Lender’s making such Incremental First Lien Term Loans if such consent would be required under
Section 10.07 for an assignment of Term Loans, to such Incremental First Lien Lender. 
 (d) Incremental First Lien
Term Commitments and the loans made thereunder shall become Term Commitments and Term Loans under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as
appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrower, each Incremental First Lien Lender and the Administrative Agent. An Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect
such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12(d), including any amendments that are not adverse to the
interest of any Lender. 
 (e) If any Incremental First Lien Term Commitments are added in accordance with this
Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such addition.

  
 93 

 (f) The effectiveness of any Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment shall, unless
otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent (in the case of clause (ii)) and each Incremental First Lien Lenders (in the case of clauses (i) and (ii)) be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the
following conditions: 
 (i) (A) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) shall
have been satisfied both before and after giving effect to such Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Amendment and the additional Credit Extensions provided thereby (or, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election with respect to a Limited Condition
Transaction, such condition shall be limited to representations that are Specified Representations) and (B) at the time that any such Incremental First Lien Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default
shall exist (or, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election with respect to a Limited Condition Transaction, such condition shall be limited to the absence of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or
8.01(g)); and 
 (ii) there shall have been paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative
Agent and the Incremental First Lien Lenders, as applicable, all fees and, to the extent required by Section 10.04, expenses (including reasonable
out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) that are due and payable on or before the Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date. 

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election with respect to a Limited Condition Transaction, the First Lien Net
Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 2.12(a)(z) may, at the Borrower’s election, be tested and satisfied as of the LCT Test Date and will not be tested upon the effectiveness of such Incremental First Lien Term
Commitments and the making of such Incremental First Lien Term Loans (but may be recalculated and retested, at the option of the Borrower, at such time). 

(g) On each Incremental First Lien Term Commitments Effective Date, each Incremental First Lien Lender (i) shall become a
“Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) shall have an Incremental First Lien Term Commitment which shall become a “Term Commitment” hereunder and (iii) in the case of an
Incremental First Lien Term Commitment, shall make an Incremental First Lien Term Loan to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Incremental First Lien Term Commitment, and such Incremental First Lien Term Loan shall be a “Term
Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (h) This Section 2.12 shall
supersede any provision of Section 2.11 or Section 10.01 to the contrary; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Affiliated Lender providing any Incremental First Lien Term
Commitments or Incremental First Lien Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be subject to the restrictions with respect to Affiliated Lenders set forth in clauses (i) and (j) of
Section 10.07. 

  
 94 

 2.13 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 

(i) that Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this
Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders” in Section 1.01 and in Section 10.01; and 

(ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09 shall be applied at
such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as
no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so
determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement;
fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against
such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if
(x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Term Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Term Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the
payment of any Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Term Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Term Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that
are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(b) If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed
to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase
that portion of outstanding Term Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Term Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with
their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be 

  
 95 

 
made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the
extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 ARTICLE III 
 TAXES, INCREASED
COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 3.01 Taxes. (a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that, if any Taxes are required by applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable
Withholding Agent) to be deducted from such payments by any applicable Withholding Agent, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that
after all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) have been made each Lender (or, in the case of payments made to
an Agent for its own account, such Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Withholding
Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (b) In addition, the
Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (c) The Loan Parties
shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent and Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid or payable by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment
by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any Other Taxes paid or payable by such Agent or Lender (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if an Agent or Lender requests indemnification more than 180 days after the earlier of (1) the date on which the applicable Agent or Lender received written demand for
payment of the applicable Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority or (2) the date on which the applicable Agent or Lender paid the applicable Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the applicable Agent or Lender
shall not be indemnified to the extent that the Borrower is actually prejudiced by the indemnitee’s failure to request indemnification no later than the end of the foregoing 180 day period. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis and the calculation of the amount of such liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or Agent, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender or Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 96 

 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) If any Lender or Agent determines,
in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this
Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (without interest, other than any interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund) to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made or additional amounts paid under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxation authority) in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the
relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the
relevant taxing authority (provided, that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e), in no
event will any Lender or Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) the payment of which would place such Lender or Agent in a less favorable net
after-tax position than it would have been in if the Indemnified Tax or Other Tax giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional
amounts with respect thereto had never been paid. Nothing herein shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit or oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to disclose any
information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it
may be entitled. 
 (f) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 3.01(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and
legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid or reduce to the greatest extent possible any indemnification or additional amounts due under this Section 3.01, which may include the designation of another Lending Office for
any Term Loan affected by such event; provided, that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage,
and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.01(f) shall affect or postpone any of the First Lien Obligations of the Loan Parties or the rights of such Lender pursuant to
Sections 3.01(a) and (c). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such efforts, including a designation of another Lending Office. 

  
 97 

 (g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax
with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of
Section 3.01(g)(1), each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this
Agreement, two accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that such Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding tax. 

(iii) Without limiting the generality of Section 3.01(g)(1), each Foreign Lender shall furnish to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, two accurate and complete originally executed copies of 

(A) IRS Form W-8BEN or Form
W-8BEN-E (or successor form) certifying exemption from or a reduction in the rate of United States federal withholding tax under an applicable treaty to which the United
States is a party, 
 (B) IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) certifying that the income receivable
pursuant to the Loan Documents is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, 
 (C) IRS Form W-8EXP (or successor form), together with required attachments, certifying exemption from United States federal withholding tax, 

(D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the
Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” (x) IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form), and
(y) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a
“10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and
that no payments under any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), or 

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), executed copies
of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-2 or Exhibit N-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or
indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-4 on
behalf of such direct and indirect partners. 

  
 98 

 (iv) Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together
with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall
promptly update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. 

(h) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such
Lender’s obligations under FATCA, and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to
FATCA after the Closing Date. 
 (i) On or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, (x) each Administrative
Agent that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower two duly completed original signed copies of IRS Form W-9, and
(y) each Administrative Agent that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall deliver to the Borrower two duly completed original signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments to be received under the Loan Documents for its own account and two duly completed original signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY assuming primary
responsibility for U.S. federal income tax withholding with respect to payments to be received under the Loan Documents for the account of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstance renders any such
documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower) or promptly notify the Borrower of its
legal ineligibility to do so, in which case Borrower may require the appointment of a supplemental agent in accordance with Section 9.02, which supplemental agent shall deliver to the Borrower the documentation described in clause
(x) or (y) of this Section 3.01(i). 

  
 99 

 (j) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive
the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other First Lien Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable Law”
includes FATCA. 
 (k) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative
Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.01, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any
documentation pursuant to this Section 3.01 that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. 
 3.02 Illegality. If any
Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Term Loans whose interest is determined by reference
to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in
the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest
rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay
or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of
such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or
charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation of any of the foregoing that, after giving effect to Section 1.13, (a) deposits are not being
offered to banks in the European interbank market, the London interbank Eurodollar market or other offshore interbank market for Dollars for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Term Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, in
the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the
Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Term Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 

3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy. 

(a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any Change in Law, in each case after the Closing Date, or such
Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Term Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or, in the case
of any Change in Law with respect to Taxes, any Term Loan), or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such
increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document and Other Taxes (as to which, in each case,
Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) Excluded Taxes, and (iii) reserve requirements reflected in the Eurodollar Rate), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such
increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased
cost or reduction; provided that such Lender need not disclose any information that is price sensitive or confidential or to the extent prohibited by Law or regulation. 

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or increasing the liquidity required to be maintained by, such Lender or any holding company of

  
 101 

 
such Lender, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement and the Term Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction or increase suffered. 

(c) The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or (b) for any
such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor; provided, that, if the
circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any assignment
pursuant to Section 3.07, continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Term Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan (whether voluntary,
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or 
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of
such Lender to make a Term Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Term Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Term Loan or from fees
payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Term Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank Eurodollar market for Dollars in a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. (a) A certificate of any
Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or
such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 (b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under
Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to
above 

  
 102 

 
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by
notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the
event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided, that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to
receive the compensation so requested. 
 (c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any
Eurodollar Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate
Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and
until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist: 

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of
principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and 

(ii) all Term Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans. 

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in
Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees
to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding
Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Term Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to
principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Term Commitments. 
 3.07 Replacement of
Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition
described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or 3.03, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iii) any Lender becomes
a “Non-Consenting Lender” (as defined below in this Section 3.07) or (iv) any Lender is an Ineligible Assignee, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort,
on five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender (or such lesser time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent),(x) prepay the Loans of such Lender on a
non-pro rata basis or (y) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) 

  
 103 

 
(with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that
(A) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person, (B) such replaced Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Term Loans (or, in the case of the preceding clause (iii), the lesser of (x) the purchase price paid by such Ineligible Assignee for its Term Loans and (y) the outstanding principal thereof), accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Sections 2.03 in connection with a Repricing Transaction and 3.05) in accordance with the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment, (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law and (D) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender,
the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 
 (b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to
Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Term Loans to the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent. If such replaced Lender fails to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of notice referred to in the foregoing clause (a), the
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute such Assignment and Assumption instead of such replaced Lender (and each Lender, by its becoming a Lender hereunder is deemed to have granted to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy,
which proxy shall be deemed to be coupled with interest, to execute and deliver the Assignment and Assumption, as provided in this Section 3.07(b)). Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender
shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Term Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full to such
assigning Lender in accordance with such Assignment and Assumption concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note
or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Term Loans, except with respect to indemnification provisions
under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the
Lender that acts as (or whose Affiliate acts as) the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09. 

(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan
Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with
respect to a certain class of the Term Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.” 

  
 104 

 3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall
survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other First Lien Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Subsidiary and (iii) any voluntary election pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of “Guarantors” shall be deemed to constitute the acquisition of a Restricted Subsidiary for all purposes of this
Section 6.12), or upon the acquisition of any personal property (other than “Excluded Assets,” as defined in the Security Agreement) or acquisition of any Material Real Property by any Loan Party, which Material
Real Property or personal property, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, is not already subject to a perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, then the Borrower shall, in each case at
the Borrower’s expense: 
 (i) in connection with the formation or acquisition of such a Restricted Subsidiary (other
than an Excluded Subsidiary), within sixty (60) days after such formation or acquisition or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree, (A) cause each such Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary,
to duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a Guaranty or Guaranty supplement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, Guaranteeing the other Loan

specified by and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (consistent with the Security Agreement, Intellectual Property Security Agreement and the other Collateral Documents), securing
payment of all the First Lien Obligations of the applicable Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents and constituting perfected Liens on all such properties; 

(ii) within sixty (60) days (or one hundred fifty (150) days with respect to the Mortgages and other related
deliverables for any Material Real Property) after such formation or acquisition, or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree, duly execute and deliver, and cause each such Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Excluded
Subsidiary) to duly execute and deliver, to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, Mortgages (with respect to Material Real Properties only) and, to the extent required by the Collateral Documents, other agreements, documents and
instruments as specified by and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, securing payment of all the First Lien Obligations of the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, under the Loan
Documents and constituting Liens on all such properties; 

  
 119 

 (iii) within sixty (60) days (or one hundred fifty (150) days with
respect to the Mortgages and other related deliverables for any Material Real Property) after such formation or acquisition, or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree, take, and cause such Restricted Subsidiary (other
than an Excluded Subsidiary) to take, to the extent required by the Collateral Documents, whatever additional action (including, without limitation, the delivery of Mortgages with respect to Material Real Properties only), the filing of Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements, the giving of notices and the endorsement of notices on title documents and delivery of stock and membership interest certificates) as may be necessary or advisable in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent to vest in the Collateral Agent (or in any representative of the Collateral Agent designated by it) valid and subsisting Liens (to the extent required by the Collateral Documents) on the properties purported to be subject to the
Mortgages, Security Agreement Supplements, Intellectual Property Security Agreement Supplements and other Collateral Documents delivered pursuant to this Section 6.12, enforceable against all third parties in accordance
with their terms; 
 (iv) as promptly as practicable (but in any event no later than one hundred fifty (150) days after
such formation or acquisition, or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree), deliver to the Administrative Agent with respect to each Material Real Property acquired by a Loan Party but not already subject to a perfected
Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, fully paid title insurance policies (or commitment to issue such a policy having the effect of a loan policy of title insurance) in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, insuring (or committing to insure) the lien of such Mortgage as a valid and enforceable first priority mortgage, free and clear of all defects and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens with endorsements (other
than endorsements requiring a survey or survey update) and in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent (not to exceed the fair market value of each Material Real Property covered thereby) (a “Mortgage Policy”),
any existing survey, and existing, non-privileged and environmental assessment reports to the extent available and in the possession and control of any Loan Party, and opinions of local counsel to the
applicable Loan Party in states in which the applicable Mortgaged Property is located, with respect to the enforceability of the Mortgages and any related fixture filings in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; and

 (v) at any time and from time to time, but subject to the limitations in the Collateral Documents, promptly execute and
deliver any and all further instruments and documents and take all such other action as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its reasonable judgment may deem necessary or desirable in obtaining the full benefits of, or in perfecting
and preserving the Liens of, such Guaranties, Mortgages, Security Agreement Supplements, Intellectual Property Security Agreement Supplements and other Collateral Documents. 

  
 120 

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not take a security interest in
those assets as to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall determine, in their reasonable discretion, that the cost of obtaining such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other tax or cost of surveys or title insurance)
are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby. Further, the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall (i) only be required to take ministerial actions to cure defects in title to the extent necessary
to obtain a valid Mortgage and Mortgage Policy, but will not be required to pay more than de minimis fees and expenses to cure any title defects and (ii) will not be required to pay more than $300,000 for the procurement of Mortgage Policies
for any Material Real Property. 
 (c) For the avoidance of doubt, changes in organization of a Loan Party or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (such as conversion of a corporation into a limited liability company) shall not constitute a formation or acquisition of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be agreed
to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) such converted entity shall deliver such instruments and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and affirmation of its obligations under the Loan Documents) and
take all such other action as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in preserving the continuing validity and perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral owned by (or, in the
case of Equity Interests of such Person included in the Collateral, issued by) such Person.

properties to comply, with all applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits; (b) obtain and renew all Environmental Permits necessary for its operations and owned, leased or operated properties; and (c) conduct any
investigation, remediation or other response action necessary to address any Environmental Release of Hazardous Materials at any of its owned, leased or operated properties, to the extent required by, and in accordance with, applicable Environmental
Laws; in each case, except in such instances in which such requirement to comply, obtain and renew, or conduct investigation, remediation or other response action is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted. 

6.14 Further Assurances, Post Closing Obligations. (a) Promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent,
(i) correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation of any Loan Document or other document or instrument relating to any Collateral, and (ii) subject to the limitations

Section 7.03(a), the Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (based on circumstances existing at the time of such reclassification), such item of Indebtedness,

 129 

 
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one or more of the above clauses; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under (i) the Loan Documents on the Closing Date shall be
deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception in clause (i)(A) of Section 7.03(b) and may not be reclassified, (ii) the ABL Facility on the Closing Date shall be deemed to have been
incurred on such date in reliance on the exception in clause (i)(B) of Section 7.03(b) and may not be reclassified and (iii) the Junior Lien Notes issued on the Closing Date shall be deemed to have been incurred
on such date in reliance on the exception in clause (i)(C) of Section 7.03(b) and may not be reclassified; 

(ii) at the time of incurrence, the Borrower shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one
of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 7.03(a) and (b) without giving Pro Forma Effect to the Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(b) when calculating the
amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(a); 
 (iii) with respect to
Indebtedness incurred under the ABL Facility, reborrowings of amounts previously repaid pursuant to “cash sweep” provisions or any similar provisions under the ABL Facility that provide that Indebtedness is deemed to be repaid daily (or
otherwise periodically) shall only be deemed for purposes of Section 7.03 to have been incurred on the date such Indebtedness was first incurred and not on the date of any subsequent reborrowing thereof; and 

(iv) the ABL Facility and the Junior Lien Notes may be refinanced at any time if such refinancing does not exceed the greater
of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to the applicable sub-clause in clause (i) of Section 7.03(b) and
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of the facility being refinanced (together with any premiums or fees associated with such refinancing) and, in the case of a refinancing of Indebtedness outstanding under the ABL Facility or the Junior Lien

(d) The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 7.03. 

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent
principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or incurred (as
determined by the Borrower), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension,
replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding,
refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being
extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased.

result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, if such sale or transfer is permitted hereunder and under the documents providing for such
Indebtedness and such Indebtedness is repaid when required under the documents providing for such Indebtedness; provided, further, that such failure is unremedied and is not validly waived by the holders of such Indebtedness in

(h) Judgments. There is entered against any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary a final judgment or order for the payment of money
in an aggregate amount (as to all such judgments and orders) exceeding the Threshold Amount (to the extent not covered by an indemnification obligation or independent third-party insurance as to which the indemnifying party or the insurer has been
notified of such judgment or order and does not deny coverage) and there is a period of sixty (60) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise (including discharge thereof),

Adverse Effect; or 

  
 149 

 (j) Invalidity of Loan Documents. Any provision of any Loan Document, at any time after
its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder (including as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or 7.05) or satisfaction in full of all the
First Lien Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect in any material respect; or any Loan Party contests in writing the validity or enforceability in any material respect of any provision of any Loan Document; or any Loan Party denies that

(l) Collateral Documents. Any Collateral Document after delivery thereof shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof
including as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or 7.05) cease to create a valid and perfected lien on and security interest in any material portion of the Collateral covered thereby with the
priority required by the Intercreditor Agreements, subject to Liens permitted under Section 7.01, except to the extent that any such perfection or priority is not required pursuant to Section 4.01,
Section 6.12 or Section 6.14 or results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to file continuation statements or to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing
securities pledged under the Collateral Documents. 
 Solely for the purpose of determining whether a Default or Event of Default has
occurred under clause (f) or (g) of Section 8.01, any reference in any such clause to any Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to exclude any Immaterial Subsidiary (provided,
however, that all Restricted Subsidiaries affected by any event or circumstance referred to in any such clause shall be considered together, as a single consolidated Restricted Subsidiary, for purposes of determining whether the condition
specified above is satisfied).

payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and 

(c) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or under
applicable Law; 

  
 150

with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Term Loans shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans and all interest and other
amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. 

8.03 [Reserved]. 
 8.04

 ARTICLE IX 

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS 

9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents. 

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, nor
shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of
the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and
enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the First Lien Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and
any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction
of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto. 

  
 152 

 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may execute
any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters
pertaining to such duties. None of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court
of competent jurisdiction. 
 9.03 Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set
forth herein, to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or Participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any
Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest
created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation
to any Lender or Participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any
Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender or Participant for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Loan Document or for
any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or
therewith furnished or made by the Agent-Related Person to the Lenders or Participants or by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Agent-Related Person or any Lender or Participant or be required to ascertain or inquire as
to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of
Default. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the
Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall any Agent-Related Person be responsible or liable to any creditors for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the
Collateral. 

  
 153 

 9.04 Reliance by Agents. 

(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution,
representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, email message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or
made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) as it deems appropriate and,
if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in
any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. In no event shall any Agent be required to take any action (or omit to take any action) that, in its opinion or the opinion
of its counsel, may expose any Agent to liability, or that is contrary to the terms of any Loan Document or applicable Law. 
 (b) For
purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document
or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection
thereto. 
 9.05 Notice of Default. None of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, unless it shall have received written
notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will notify the Lenders of its
receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any
instance) in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 

9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any
representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of 

  
 154 

 
and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable
bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower
and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

 9.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify
upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any
and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final,
nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) shall be deemed to constitute bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for such ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this
Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other First Lien Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. 

9.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Any Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of,
accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though it were not an Agent
hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, 

  
 155 

 
pursuant to such activities, an Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Term Loans, such Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include such Agent in its individual capacity. 

9.09 Successor Agents. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the
Lenders and the Borrower. If an Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the
existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be deemed given if the Borrower
fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the
Borrower, a successor agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term
“Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and
duties as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and
Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has
accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon
become effective on such date and the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) with the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be deemed given if the Borrower fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days), on
behalf of the Lenders with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If a successor Administrative Agent has not so been appointed, the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until
such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. With effect from the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation (i) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the
Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a 

  
 156 

 
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or
recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue
the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Collateral
Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the
provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent. 
 (b) Any resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.09 shall also constitute its
resignation as the Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent, hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Collateral Agent and (ii) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. 

9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as
herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans
and all other First Lien Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any
monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04. 

  
 157 

 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the First Lien Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding, except as set forth in clause (A)(z) of the second to last paragraph of Section 10.01. 

9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in their capacities as potential or actual Hedge Banks and
potential or actual Cash Management Banks) irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
 (a) to
release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all First Lien Obligations (other than (A) contingent
indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or
Hedge Bank shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) upon the release of a Guarantor from its Guaranty pursuant to clause
(c) below, (iv) upon such property becoming Excluded Assets (as defined in the Security Agreement) (v) that is owned by a Person that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary under clause (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (viii) of the
definition thereof, upon such Person becoming an Excluded Subsidiary or (v) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as
may be expressly required hereby in any instance); 
 (b) to subordinate or release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (r) (in respect of Indebtedness incurred under Sections 7.03(b)(v) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or, in the
case of subordination only, clause (i) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” in each case, to the extent required or permitted pursuant to the agreements governing such Liens; and 

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded
Subsidiary under clause (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (viii) of the definition thereof, in each case, as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; provided, that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor is an obligor or a
guarantor in respect of, the ABL Obligations, the Junior Lien Obligations, Indebtedness incurred under Section 7.03(a), Permitted Other Junior Lien Indebtedness, Permitted Other First Lien Indebtedness, or any Refinancing
Indebtedness in respect thereof; provided, further, that, any release of guarantee obligations as a result of the circumstances set forth in Section 9.11(a)(i) shall be deemed subject to the provision that
such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the First Lien Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded, avoided or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

  
 158 

 Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing
the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as
specified in this Section 9.11, the Collateral Agent will, without recourse or warranty and at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably
request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11. 
 9.12 Secured Cash Management
Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.04, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any
Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any
Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, First Lien Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent have received written notice of such First Lien Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral may request, from the applicable Cash Management
Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. 
 9.13 Other Agents; Arranger and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified
on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “joint lead arranger”, “joint bookrunner” or “co-manager” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 

9.14 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. 

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to appoint additional Persons selected by it in its sole
discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative
co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental
Administrative Agents”). 

  
 159 

 (b) In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with
respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Collateral Agent with respect to such
Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers, privileges and duties with
respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent
shall run to and be enforceable by either the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Section 9.07 (obligating the Lenders to pay the
Collateral Agent’s expenses and to indemnify the Collateral Agent) that refer to the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be
references to the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 
 (c) Should any instrument in
writing from the Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it
such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the
extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent. 

9.15 Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an
amount equivalent to any withholding Tax applicable to such payment. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for
any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or
reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), or the Administrative Agent has paid over to the IRS applicable withholding Tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, such Lender shall, within 10 days after
written demand therefor, indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with any and all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority (unless such amounts have been reimbursed
by any Loan Party, and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this
Section 9.15. The agreements in this Section 9.15 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 

  
 160 

 9.16 Agency for Perfection. The Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs
each Secured Party to act as collateral sub-agent for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit
account maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Secured Party, and may further authorize and direct such Secured Party to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for
purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to the Collateral Agent, and each Secured Party (including, by its acceptance of the benefits of such Liens with respect to the Collateral, any Secured Party
not party hereto) hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed. 
 9.17

to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Term Loans the Term Commitments and this Agreement, 

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the
meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Term

 161 

 (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing

 (b) In addition, unless
sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants,

except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives, (iii) make or bring (other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity
as a Lender, against an Agent (except with respect to any rights expressly retained by such Affiliated Lender under the Loan Documents, which shall not be required to be waived) or an Arranger, or (iv) receive advice of counsel to an Agent, an
Arranger or any other Lender (other than counsel to the Affiliated Lenders), or challenge an Agent’s, an Arranger’s or any Lender’s attorney-client privilege and (z) each Affiliated Lender that is a

empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs
such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that (i) such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in
accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any First Lien Obligations held
by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar First Lien Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or prospective Lender is a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability

 165 

 (B) in connection with any “Required Lender” votes or Class votes with respect to
any Class of Term Loans, Lenders that are Debt Fund Affiliates shall not be permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 49.9% of the amounts includable in determining whether the “Required Lenders” or a majority of Lenders
with respect to such Class have consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that is subject to such vote. The voting power of each Lender that is a Debt Fund Affiliate shall be reduced, pro rata, to the extent
necessary in order to comply with the immediately preceding sentence; and 
 (C) no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or
supplement to the Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement that is, (i) for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Other Indebtedness (or a Debt Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly
contemplated by the terms of such intercreditor agreement (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative
Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing), or (ii) expressly contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement. 

Further, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to
time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Term Commitments or Term Loans under any Class (the Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an
“Affected Facility”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments (as defined below) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth
(i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than five (5) Business Days nor more than thirty
(30) Business Days after the date of such notice, or such shorter periods as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Class(es) of Term Commitments or Term Loans of the
Lenders under the Affected Facility that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Loan Modification Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Loan Modification Accepting Lender, only with respect to
such Lender’s Term Commitments or Term Loans of such Class(es) under such Affected Facility as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Borrower and each Loan Modification Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent giving effect to the Permitted Amendment (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each
of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted
Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Term Commitments and Term Loans of the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders under the Affected Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this
paragraph unless the Administrative Agent shall have received all corporate documents, officer’s certificates or legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 that are reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent.

 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and
provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at Law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from
exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff
rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the
pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then
(i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and
(c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 

10.04 Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers for
all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (limited to the
reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers taken as a whole and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and of special and conflicts
counsel), and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger and each Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law or in connection with any workout or restructuring), including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (limited to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one
counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and of one special counsel and, in the event of any actual or perceived conflict of
interest, one additional counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender subject to such conflict and to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and/or one special counsel for all such parties
subject 

  
 169 

 
to such conflict), in each case without duplication for any amounts paid (or indemnified) under Section 3.01. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search,
filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent. All amounts due
under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after invoiced or demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and repayment of all other First Lien Obligations. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger or any Lender, in its sole discretion. 
 10.05 Indemnification by the
Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger, each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, counsel,
agents and, in the case of any funds, trustees, advisors, and other representatives and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from
and against (and will reimburse each Indemnitee as the same are incurred for) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including settlement costs), expenses and
disbursements (including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of (i) one counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole, (ii) in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, additional counsel to
each group of similarly-situated Indemnitees, limited to one such additional counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and one special counsel to such group similarly-situated Indemnitees and (iii) one local counsel in each
relevant jurisdiction and special counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Term Commitment, Term Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any Environmental Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently owned, leased or operated by
the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any other Loan Party or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any other Loan Party (other than any Environmental Release or Environmental Liability
resulting solely from acts or omissions by Persons other than the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, with respect to the applicable property after the Collateral Agent sells the respective property pursuant to a foreclosure or has accepted a
deed in lieu of foreclosure), (d) the Engagement Letter or (e) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding in any way relating to, arising out of, in connection with or by reason of any of the foregoing, whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and
whether or not such proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other Person (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of
the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements (x) arise from a dispute that does not involve any action or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and is solely among 

  
 170 

 
the Indemnitees (other than in connection with any such party acting in its capacity as an Arranger or an Agent) or (y) are found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s or any of its controlled Affiliates’ bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of
its funding obligations under the Loan Documents. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other information transmission systems (including
electronic telecommunications) in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent of direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages determined in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s or any of its controlled Affiliates’ bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its funding obligations under the Loan Documents. No
Indemnitee or Loan Party shall have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether
before or after the Closing Date); provided that the foregoing shall not affect the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 10.05. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other
proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or
creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. 

No Loan Party shall be liable for any settlement of any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding effected without the Borrower’s
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s consent, or if there is a judgment against an Indemnitee in any such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding, the
Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee in the manner set forth above. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other First Lien Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other
than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 10.06
Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff or recoupment, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or
recoupment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon demand its applicable
share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the First Lien Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 171 

 10.07 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except as permitted by
Section 7.04), and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of
Section 10.07(f), (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g) or (v) in accordance with Section 10.07(i) or 10.07(j) (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void, subject to clause (y) of the proviso to clause (v) of Section 10.07(b)); provided that, for the avoidance of
doubt, no assignments to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted other than in accordance with Section 10.07(i) or 10.07(j). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to
one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Commitments and the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that (i) (A) in the case of an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Commitments and the Term Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a
Lender, no minimum amount shall need to be assigned, and (B) in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.07(b), the aggregate amount of the Term Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Term Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Term Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date
the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless
each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an
Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Commitments or the Term Loans assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning
all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis; (iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment 

  
 172 

 
except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.07(b) and, in addition (A) the consent of the Borrower (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing at the time of
such assignment or (2) such assignment is in respect of the Term Facility and is made to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless
it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) shall be required; (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 , and shall deliver such
know-your-customer and tax documentation required pursuant to Section 3.01 (except, (x) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by any Lender to one or more Approved Funds, only a single processing and recording fee
shall be payable for such assignments and (y) the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such processing and recording fee in the case of any assignment); (v) no such assignment shall be made to (A) to any
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (A), (B) a natural person, (C) Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries or (D) absent the consent of the Borrower (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Borrower), to a Person (an “Ineligible Assignee”) disclosed on a list delivered to the
Administrative Agent, as updated from time to time by the Borrower to include competitors of the Borrower (but not other Persons) by posting a new such list of Ineligible Assignees to the Administrative Agent; provided, that the identity of
Ineligible Assignees may be communicated by the Administrative Agent to a Lender upon request; and provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to
determine whether any potential assignee is an Ineligible Assignee or any liability with respect to any assignment made to an Ineligible Assignee and (y) if any assignment is made to any Person that is an Ineligible Assignee without the consent
of the Borrower, the loans and commitments held by such Person shall be deemed to not be outstanding for purposes of any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, and such Person shall not be permitted to attend lender meetings or receive information
prepared by the Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement; (vi) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Term Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and (vii) in connection with any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the
Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with
the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Term Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to
(x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of
all Term Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without
compliance with the provisions of 

  
 173 

 
this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04, and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).
Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).

 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes),
shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and
the Term Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender with respect to such Lender’s entry, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person, an Ineligible Assignee or a Defaulting Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Term Commitments and/or the Term Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and
(iv) the conditions identified in Section 10.07(i) or 10.07(j) with respect to participations to Non-Debt Fund Affiliates and Debt Fund Affiliates have been satisfied at
the time of such sale; provided, further that the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any potential Participant is an Ineligible Assignee or any liability with respect to any participation sold to an
Ineligible Assignee. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any

  
 174 

 
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(e), the Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under
Section 3.01(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(g) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a
Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees to cooperate
with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.07 with respect to any Participant. 
 (f) Any Lender
may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or
any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Term Loan, and (ii) if an
SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Term Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.10(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to
the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and the obligations to provide the forms and certifications pursuant to Section 3.01 as if it were a Lender); provided that neither the grant to any SPC nor the
exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or
3.05). Each party hereto further agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (ii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes,
including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Term Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Term Commitment of the Granting
Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party 

  
 175 

 
hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial
paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not, other than in respect of matters unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the Laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder with respect to any Term Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion
of the Term Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee
actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such trustee
shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans hereunder to
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or to any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate and (y) any Lender may sell participations with respect to all or any portion of its Term Loan hereunder to
any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, but, only if (with respect to sub-clauses (ii) and (v) only): 

(i) such assignment is made pursuant to an open market purchase; 

(ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom; 

(iii) the assigning Lender and Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans, as applicable, shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”) in lieu of an
Assignment and Assumption; 
 (iv) after giving effect to such assignment the
Non-Debt Fund Affiliates shall not, in the aggregate, own or hold Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 25% of the principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding; 

(v) in the case of any such assignment or the sale of such participations to a Non-Debt
Fund Affiliate, such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be subject to the restrictions specified in clause (A) of the second to last paragraph of Section 10.01; and

  
 176 

 (vi) any such Term Loans assigned to Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary will be automatically and permanently cancelled at the time of such assignment. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (x) any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans hereunder to any Debt Fund Affiliate and (y) any Lender may sell participations with respect to all or any portion of its Term Loan hereunder to any Debt Fund
Affiliate, only if (with respect to sub-clause (ii) only): 
 (i) such
assignment is made pursuant to an open market purchase; and 
 (ii) such Debt Fund Affiliate shall at all times after such
assignment (or, as the case may be, sale of participations) be subject to the restrictions specified in clause (B) of the second to last paragraph of Section 10.01. 

(k) Each Lender that sells a participation or grants any rights to an SPC, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of (i) each SPC (other than any SPC that is treated as a disregarded entity
of the Granting Lender for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that has exercised its option pursuant to Section 10.07(g) and (ii) each Participant, and the amount of each such SPC’s and Participant’s interest
in such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including
the identity of any Participant or SPC or any information relating to a Participant’s or SPC’s interest in such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary to establish that such rights and/or obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable participation or SPC interest, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 

10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders (including, as applicable, in their capacity as Arrangers) agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, auditors, legal counsel and other advisors
on a “need to know” basis solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and to the Persons approving or administering a Term Loan on behalf of an Agent or a Lender (it being understood that all Persons pursuant to
clause (a) to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance with customary practices, and the applicable Agent or Lender
shall be responsible for such Person’s compliance with this paragraph); (b) to the extent requested or required by any regulatory authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over such Agent, Lender or its respective Affiliates or
in connection with any pledge or assignment permitted under Section 10.07(f) (in which case, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority
exercising examination or regulatory authority, such Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent permitted by Law and, to the extent it may legally and practically do so, allow the Borrower 

  
 177 

 
a reasonable opportunity to object to such disclosure in such proceeding or process); (c) in any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other compulsory process or otherwise as required by
applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this
Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement or to any prospective counterparty to any Cash Management Agreement or Swap Contract; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section 10.08 or (B) is independently developed by such Agent or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates; (i) to any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; or (j) to any rating agency when requested by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to
preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender). In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data
collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Term Commitments, and the Credit
Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof
relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 10.08; provided, that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Each of the Agents and the Lenders
acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower, Holdings or a Subsidiary of either, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance
procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law,
including United States federal and state securities Laws. 
 10.09 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the
Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at
any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all First Lien Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan 

  
 178 

 
Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such First Lien
Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness but in any event subject to the Intercreditor Agreements; provided that in the event that any Defaulting
Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 and,
pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the First Lien Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights
of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may
have. 
 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid
or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender
shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Term Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than
interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the First Lien Obligations
hereunder. 
 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and
by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic transmission of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and
signatures delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature
delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission. 
 10.12 Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other
Loan 

  
 179 

 
Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against
nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 
 10.13 Survival of Representations and
Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and
thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Term Loan or any other First Lien Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 

10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to
Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 

10.15 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that each such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Agent and

 FIRST LIEN HOLDINGS GUARANTY 

FIRST LIEN HOLDINGS GUARANTY dated as of June 25, 2018 (this “Guaranty”) between Aleris
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Collateral Agent. 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 

Aleris International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), is party to a First Lien Credit
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein
being used herein as therein defined) with Holdings, each Lender from time to time party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent. Holdings may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the
proceeds of the Term Loans under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. It is a condition precedent to the making of Term Loans by the Lenders under
the Credit Agreement and the entry by the Hedge Banks into Secured Hedge Agreements from time to time, that Holdings shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make Term Loans under the Credit
Agreement and the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements from time to time and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Holdings hereby agrees as follows: 

Section 1.    Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Holdings hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the punctual payment, whether at scheduled maturity or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and performance of all
First Lien Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, increases, modifications, substitutions, amendments, refinancings, refundings,
replacements or renewals of any or all of the foregoing First Lien Obligations) and whether or not such action is committed, contemplated or provided for by the Loan Documents on the date hereof, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such First Lien Obligations being the “Guaranteed First Lien Obligations,”
provided that Guaranteed First Lien Obligations consisting of obligations of any Loan Party arising under any Secured Hedge Agreement shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Holdings’ liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents
but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. 

(b)        Holdings, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Collateral Agent and each other
Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the First Lien Obligations of Holdings hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or 

 
conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable
to this Guaranty and the First Lien Obligations of Holdings hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and Holdings hereby irrevocably agree that the First Lien Obligations of Holdings under
this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the First Lien Obligations of Holdings under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

(c)        Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall
be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other guaranty, Holdings will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate
amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 
 Section 2.    Guaranty
Absolute. Holdings guarantees that the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. Holdings further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or
similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection. The First Lien Obligations of Holdings under or in respect of this
Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or any other First Lien Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings
to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of Holdings under this
Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and Holdings hereby irrevocably waives any rights, claims or defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following (whether or not
Holdings has knowledge thereof): 
 (a)        any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
 (b)        any change in the time,
manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or any other First Lien Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or
any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 

(c)        the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse
in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or Lien in or the release of any Collateral or any other collateral securing or purporting to secure the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral, or
any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations; 
  

  
 2 

 (d)        any manner of application of Collateral or any
other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or any other
First Lien Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 

(e)        any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (f)        any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to
any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (Holdings waiving any duty on the part
of the Secured Parties to disclose such information); 
 (g)        the failure of any other Person
to execute or deliver this Guaranty or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of Holdings or any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations; or 

(h)        any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured
Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety. 
 This
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. No payment made by the Borrower, Holdings, any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Borrower, Holdings, any of the other 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 the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Holdings hereunder which shall,
notwithstanding any such payment, remain liable for the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations until all of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than in each case contingent obligations that are
not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, all Secured Hedge Agreements (other than Secured Hedge Agreements as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Hedge Bank have been made)
shall have expired or been terminated and the Term Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. 

Section 3.    Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives
promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, marshaling, presentment, demand for payment or performance, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed
First Lien Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any
Collateral. 
  

  
 3 

 (b)        Holdings hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed First Lien Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 

(c)        Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by
reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights
of Holdings or other rights of Holdings to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or
counterclaim against or in respect of the First Lien Obligations of Holdings hereunder. 

(d)        Holdings acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, in accordance with the Loan Documents,
without notice to or demand upon Holdings and without affecting the liability of Holdings under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and Holdings hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties against Holdings of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law. 

(e)        Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured
Party to disclose to Holdings any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such
Secured Party. 
 (f)        Holdings waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured
Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any Person before claiming from Holdings under this Guaranty. This waiver applies irrespective of any Law or any provision
of a Loan Document to the contrary. 
 (g)        Holdings acknowledges that it will receive
substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits. 
 Section 4.    Subrogation. 

(a)        Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it
may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of Holdings’ First Lien Obligations under or in respect of this
Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or
right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and all other amounts payable under 
  

  
 4 

 
this Guaranty (other than in each case contingent obligations that are not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, all Secured Hedge Agreements (other than Secured Hedge
Agreements as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Hedge Bank have been made) shall have expired or been terminated and the Term Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount
shall be paid to Holdings in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other
than in each case contingent obligations that are not then due and payable), (b)    the Latest Maturity Date of all Term Commitments and Term Loans and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Secured Hedge
Agreements (other than Secured Hedge Agreements as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Hedge Bank have been made), such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of Holdings and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the
Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or other
amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) Holdings shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than in each case contingent obligations that are not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the Latest Maturity Date of all Term Commitments and Term Loans shall have
occurred and (iv) all Secured Hedge Agreements (other than Secured Hedge Agreements as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Hedge Bank have been made) shall have expired or been terminated, the
Secured Parties will, at Holdings’ request and expense, execute and deliver to Holdings appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to Holdings of an interest
in the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations resulting from such payment made by Holdings pursuant to this Guaranty. 

(b)        Notwithstanding any provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, all rights of Holdings
under Section 4(a) and all other rights of Holdings of contribution or subrogation under applicable Law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations.
Until the payment in full of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations (other than contingent obligations that are not then due and payable), Holdings shall not demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in
cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to Holdings in any bankruptcy case or receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment
or distribution shall be delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution directly to the Collateral Agent, for application to the payment of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by
Holdings, it shall be held by Holdings in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by Holdings to the Collateral Agent, in the exact form received and, if
necessary, duly endorsed. No failure on the part of Holdings to make the payments required by Section 4(a) (or any other payments required under applicable Law or otherwise) or on the part of any Subsidiary 

  
 5 

 
Guarantor to make the payments required by Section 4(a) of the Subsidiary Guaranty shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of Holdings with respect to
its obligations hereunder, and Holdings shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of Holdings hereunder. 

Section 5.    Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of Holdings under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, in accordance with, and such payments shall be made to the extent required by, the terms of the
Credit Agreement (including Section 3.01 thereof). 
 Section 6.    Representations
and Warranties. Holdings hereby represents and warrants as follows: 
 (a)        There are no
conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty that have not been satisfied or waived. 

(b)        Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit Agreement

same effect as though set forth herein in their entirety.

observe. 
 Section 8.    Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no
consent to any departure by Holdings therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and Holdings and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and

 6 

 Section 10.    No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any
Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

Section 11.    Expenses and Indemnification. (a) Holdings agrees to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent
and each other Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against Holdings under this Guaranty or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which Holdings is a party,

Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. (b) Holdings agrees to pay, and to hold the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties (including all Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.05 of the Credit
Agreement), harmless from, 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,

Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (c)        The agreements in this
Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Guaranty. 
 Section 12.    Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for
the credit or the account of Holdings against any and all of the First Lien Obligations of Holdings now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty
or any other Loan Document and although such First Lien Obligations may be unmatured, in each case, to the extent and otherwise in accordance with Section 10.09 of the Credit Agreement. Each Agent and each Lender agrees
promptly to notify Holdings after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 12 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Agent, such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have. 

Section 13.    Continuing Guaranty; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Guaranty is a continuing
guaranty and, subject to Section 14 below, shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and all other amounts payable under
this Guaranty (other than in each case contingent obligations that 
  

  
 7 

 
are not then due and payable), (ii) the Latest Maturity Date of all Term Commitments and Term Loans and (iii) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Secured Hedge Agreements
(other than Secured Hedge Agreements as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Hedge Bank have been made) (b) be binding upon Holdings, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Term Commitments, the Term Loans owing to it, the Note or Notes held by it) or any Secured Hedge Agreement to any
other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, as and to the extent provided in Section 10.07 of the Credit
Agreement or in the comparable provisions of any Secured Hedge Agreement, as applicable. Holdings shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. 

Section 14.    Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor (as defined below) hereby jointly and severally
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations
(provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 14 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under
this Section 14, or otherwise under this Guaranty, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations
of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 14 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Guaranty in accordance with Section 13. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor
intends that this Section 14 constitute, and this Section 14 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all
purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligations, each Loan Party that has total assets exceeding
$10,000,000 at the time the relevant Guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity
Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange
Act. 
 Section 15.    Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions
with valid, legal and enforceable provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as reasonably possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
  

  
 8 

 Section 16.    Execution in Counterparts. This Guaranty and each
amendment, waiver and consent with respect hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty by telecopier or other electronic methods shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Guaranty. 
 Section 17.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) This Guaranty
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 

(b)        ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY

(c)        HOLDINGS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION,
OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO. 

(d)        HOLDINGS IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN

 FIRST LIEN SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY 

FIRST LIEN SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY dated as of June 25, 2018 (this “Guaranty”) among the Persons
listed on the signature pages hereof under the caption “Subsidiary Guarantors,” the Additional Guarantors (as defined in Section 8(b)) (such Persons so listed and the Additional Guarantors being, collectively, the
“Guarantors” and, individually, each a “Guarantor”) and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Collateral Agent. 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 

Aleris International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), is party to a First Lien Credit
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein
being used herein as therein defined) with Aleris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), each Lender from time to time party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent. Each Guarantor may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the proceeds of the Term Loans under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. It
is a condition precedent to the making of Term Loans by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the entry by the Hedge Banks into Secured Hedge Agreements from time to time, that each Guarantor party to this Guaranty shall have executed and
delivered this Guaranty. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make
Term Loans under the Credit Agreement and the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements from time to time and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor, jointly
and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows: 
 Section 1.    Guaranty; Limitation of
Liability. (a) Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the punctual
payment, whether at scheduled maturity or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and performance of all First Lien Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, any extensions, increases, modifications, substitutions, amendments, refinancings, refundings, replacements or renewals of any or all of the foregoing First Lien Obligations) and whether or not such action is committed, contemplated or
provided for by the Loan Documents on the date hereof, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such First Lien
Obligations being the “Guaranteed First Lien Obligations,” provided that Guaranteed First Lien Obligations consisting of obligations of any Loan Party arising
under any Secured Hedge Agreement shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed First Lien
Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving such other Loan Party. 

 (b)        Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this
Guaranty, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the First Lien Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the First Lien Obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the First Lien Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be
limited to the maximum amount as will result in the First Lien Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

(c)        Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment
shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty, the Holdings Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and Holdings so as to
maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 

Section 2.    Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations will be
paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. Each
Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Guaranteed
First Lien Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection. The First Lien Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or any other First
Lien Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against
the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and
each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any rights, claims or defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following (whether or not such Guarantor has knowledge thereof): 

(a)        any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto; 
 (b)        any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or any other First Lien Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan
Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 

 

  
 2 

 (c)        the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or Lien in or the release of any Collateral or any other collateral securing or purporting to secure the Guaranteed First Lien
Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations; 

(d)        any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to
all or any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or any other First Lien Obligations of any Loan Party
under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 

(e)        any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (f)        any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to
any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on
the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information); 
 (g)        the failure of any
other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety with respect to the
Guaranteed First Lien Obligations; or 
 (h)        any other circumstance or any existence of or
reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety. 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed First
Lien Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been
made. No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, Holdings, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, Holdings, 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 the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment, remain liable for the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations until all of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and all
other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than in each case contingent obligations that are not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, all Secured Hedge Agreements (other than Secured Hedge Agreements as to which other
arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Hedge Bank have been made) shall have expired or been terminated and the Term Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. 

 

  
 3 

 Section 3.    Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, marshaling, presentment, demand for payment or performance, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and
any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any
action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral. 
 (b)        Each Guarantor
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed First Lien Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 

(c)        Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising
by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification
rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of
set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the First Lien Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. 

(d)        Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, in accordance with the Loan
Documents, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by
the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law. 

(e)        Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any
Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter
known by such Secured Party. 
 (f)        Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first
requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any Person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Guaranty. This waiver applies irrespective
of any Law or any provision of a Loan Document to the contrary. 
 (g)        Each Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this
Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

Section 4.    Subrogation. 

(a)        Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights
that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s First Lien Obligations under or in
respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, 
  

  
 4 

 
contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any
Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed First Lien
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than in each case contingent obligations that are not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, all Secured Hedge Agreements (other than Secured Hedge Agreements
as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Hedge Bank have been made) shall have expired or been terminated and the Term Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid
to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than in each
case contingent obligations that are not then due and payable), (b) the Latest Maturity Date of all Term Commitments and Term Loans and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Secured Hedge Agreements (other than Secured Hedge
Agreements as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Hedge Bank have been made), such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other
property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations
and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed First Lien Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty
thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty (other than in each case contingent obligations that are not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the Latest Maturity Date of all Term Commitments and Term Loans shall have occurred and (iv) all Secured Hedge
Agreements (other than Secured Hedge Agreements as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Hedge Bank have been made) shall have expired or been terminated, the Secured Parties will, at such
Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the
Guaranteed First Lien Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty. 

(b)        Notwithstanding any provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, all rights of the
Guarantors under Section 4(a) and all other rights of the Guarantors of contribution or subrogation under applicable Law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed First
Lien Obligations. Until the payment in full of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations (other than contingent obligations that are not then due and payable), no Guarantor shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution
whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Guarantor in any bankruptcy case or receivership, insolvency or
liquidation proceeding, such payment or 
  

  
 5 

 distribution shall be delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution directly to the
Collateral Agent, for application to the payment of the Guaranteed First Lien Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by any Guarantor, it shall be held by such Guarantor in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit
of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, in the exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed. No failure on the part of any Guarantor to make the payments required by
Section 4(a) (or any other payments required under applicable Law or otherwise) or on the part of Holdings to make the payments required by Section 4(a) of the Holdings Guaranty shall in any
respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. 

Section 5.    Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, in accordance with, and such payments shall be made to the extent required by, the terms
of the Credit Agreement (including Section 3.01 thereof). 

Section 6.    Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows: 

(i)        There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty that have not been
satisfied or waived. 
 (ii)        Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Article
V of the Credit Agreement made with respect to such Guarantor (whether specifically referencing such Guarantor or referencing such Guarantor in its capacity as a Loan Party) are true and correct with respect to such Guarantor and are incorporated
herein by reference and made by such Guarantor with the same effect as though set forth herein in their entirety. 

Section 7.    Covenants. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, so long as any part of the Guaranteed First
Lien Obligations shall remain unpaid, any Lender shall have any Term Commitment or any Secured Hedge Agreement shall be in effect, such Guarantor will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms,
covenants and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents on its or their part to be performed or observed or that the Borrower has agreed to cause such Guarantor or such Subsidiaries to perform or observe.

relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 14 shall

interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person
to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

Section 15.    Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid,
legal and enforceable provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as reasonably possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

Section 16.    Execution in Counterparts. This Guaranty and each amendment, waiver and consent with respect
hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty by telecopier or other electronic methods shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty. 

Section 17.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) This Guaranty shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty Supplement, the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Holdings Guaranty or any other guaranty, the undersigned will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, such amounts
to each other Guarantor, Holdings and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

reference in the Subsidiary Guaranty to an “Additional Guarantor” or a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a
“Subsidiary Guarantor” or a “Loan Party” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned. 

Section 3.    Representations and Warranties. The undersigned hereby makes each representation and warranty

Section 4.    Delivery by Telecopier. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty
Supplement by telecopier or other electronic methods shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty Supplement. 

Section 5.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) This Guaranty Supplement shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 

 (b)        ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO
THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY
SUPPLEMENT, THE UNDERSIGNED CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. THE UNDERSIGNED IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS
OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. 

(c)        THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, DEMAND,
ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Junior Lien Obligations will at all times, regardless of how acquired (whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise), be junior and subordinate in all respects to
all Liens on the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any First Lien Obligations for all purposes. All Liens on the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any First Lien Obligations shall be and remain senior in all
respects and prior to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Junior Lien Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any First Lien Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other
obligation of the Company, any Pledgor or any other person or are otherwise voided, avoided, invalidated, or lapsed. 
 2.2
        Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each relevant Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties,
and each of the Applicable First Lien Agent and each relevant Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable First Lien Obligations Secured Parties, agrees that, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, it shall not
(and hereby waives any right to) take any action to challenge, contest or support any other person in contesting or challenging, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, perfection, priority,
allowability, or enforceability of (a) a Lien securing, or claims asserted with respect to, any First Lien Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties or any agent or trustee
therefor in any Common Collateral or any other Lien, collateral or security in respect of the First Lien Obligations or (b) a Lien securing, or claim asserted with respect to, any Junior Lien Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on
behalf of any of the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor in any Common Collateral or any other Lien, collateral or security in respect of the Junior Lien Obligations, as the case may be; provided, however,
that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any First Lien Obligations Representative or any First Lien Obligations Secured Party or any agent or trustee therefor to enforce this Agreement (including the
priority of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations as provided in Section 2.1 or the provisions for exercise of remedies) or any of the First Lien Obligations Documents. 

2.3         No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred
and subject to Section 6, the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each relevant Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, agrees that, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Pledgor, it shall not acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of the Company or any other Pledgor securing any Junior Lien Obligations that are not also subject to the
first-priority Lien in respect of the First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Obligations Documents. If the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party shall (nonetheless
and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on such property that is not also subject to the first-priority Lien in respect of the First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Obligations Documents, then the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, such
Junior Lien Obligations Representative or such Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party, as the case may be, shall, without the need for any further consent of any person and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other document, be deemed to
also hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the Applicable First Lien Agent and the First Lien Obligations Representatives as security for the First Lien Obligations (subject to the lien priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly
notify the Applicable First Lien Agent and each First Lien Obligations Representative in writing of the existence of such Lien (if and to the extent the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, such Junior Lien Obligations Representative or such Junior Lien
Obligations Secured Party has actual knowledge of the existence of such Lien) and in any event take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Applicable First Lien Agent or any First Lien Obligations Representative to assign such Liens to
the Applicable First Lien Agent or, in the event that such Liens do not secure all First Lien 

  
 -14- 

 
Obligations, the relevant First Lien Obligations Representative (and/or each of their respective designees) as security for the applicable First Lien Obligations. To the extent that the foregoing
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the Applicable First Lien Agent and each First Lien Obligations Representative and/or the First Lien
Obligations Secured Parties, each such Junior Lien Obligations Representative or such Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in
contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.3. 
 2.4        
Confirmation of Subordination in Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Documents. Each of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative agrees that each applicable Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Document
shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Applicable First Lien Agent, include language substantially the same as the following paragraph (or language to similar effect reasonably approved by the Applicable First Lien Agent to reflect the
subordination of the Liens): 
 “Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security
interests granted to the [insert the relevant Junior Lien Obligations Representative] for the benefit of the [Secured Parties] pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the [insert the relevant Junior
Lien Obligations Representative] hereunder or the application of proceeds (including insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds) of any Common Collateral are subject to the provisions of the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement dated
as of June 25, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement”), by and among Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, in its capacities as
the First Lien Facility Agent and the Applicable First Lien Agent, and U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacities as the Junior Lien Notes Collateral Agent and the Applicable Junior Lien Agent. In the event of any conflict between the terms
of the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.” 

2.5         Perfection of Liens. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, none of the Applicable
First Lien Agent, or any First Lien Obligations Representative, or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party shall be responsible for perfecting or maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Common Collateral for the benefit of the
Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the First Lien
Obligations Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties and shall not impose on the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative, any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party, the Applicable Junior
Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative, any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party or any agent, or trustee for any of the foregoing persons any obligations in respect of the Disposition of proceeds of any Common Collateral
which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law. 

2.6         Waiver of Marshalling. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, each of the
Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each relevant Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand,
request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Common Collateral or any other similar rights
a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

 SECTION 3.        Enforcement. 

3.1        Exercise of Remedies. 

(a)        So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Pledgor: 

(i)        except as otherwise provided herein, the Applicable First Lien Agent and
each other First Lien Obligations Representatives shall have the exclusive right, in each case with respect to Common Collateral, to (x) enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff, recoupment, and the right to credit bid their debt)
and enforce any right under any account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement to which the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien
Obligations Secured Party is a party, (y) make determinations regarding the time and method for the release, Disposition or restrictions with respect to any Common Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Junior Lien
Obligations Representative or any Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party, and (z) otherwise enforce the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the Bankruptcy Law of any applicable jurisdiction, so long as any proceeds of any
Common Collateral received by the Applicable First Lien Agent, such First Lien Obligations Representative and other First Lien Obligations Secured Parties in the aggregate in excess of those necessary to achieve the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations are distributed in accordance with Section 4.2 (Application of Proceeds), subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1 (Subordination of Liens); and 

(ii)        none of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, or any Junior Lien Obligations
Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party will: 

(x)        exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff or
recoupment) with respect to any Common Collateral or any other Lien, collateral or security in respect of any applicable Junior Lien Obligations, or exercise any right under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s
letter or similar agreement or arrangement, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), 

(y)        contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought
with respect to the Common Collateral or any other Lien, collateral or security by the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party in respect of the First Lien Obligations,
the exercise of any right by the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Parties (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in
respect of the First Lien Obligations under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Applicable Junior Lien Obligations Representative, any Junior Lien
Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party, of any rights and remedies relating to the Common Collateral or
any other Lien, collateral or security under the First Lien Obligations Documents or otherwise in respect of the First Lien Obligations, or 

  
 -16- 

 (z)        object to the forbearance by
the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to
the Common Collateral or any other Lien, collateral or security under the First Lien Obligations Documents or otherwise in respect of the First Lien Obligations; 

provided, however, that the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and the Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties may take any Permitted Remedies.
In exercising rights and remedies with respect to any Common Collateral or any other Lien, collateral or security in respect of the First Lien Obligations, the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First
Lien Obligations Secured Party in respect of the First Lien Obligations may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Obligations Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise
of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to
exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction. 

(b)        So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, each of the Applicable
Junior Lien Agent and each relevant Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties holding the relevant Series, agree that it will not take or receive any Common Collateral or other collateral or any proceeds
of Common Collateral or other collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Common Collateral or other collateral in respect of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a) and otherwise with respect to the Permitted
Remedies, the sole right of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, the Junior Lien Obligations Representatives and the Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral or any other collateral securing any Junior Lien
Obligations is to hold a Lien on the Common Collateral or such other collateral in respect of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations pursuant to the Junior Lien Obligations Documents, as applicable, for the period and to the extent granted therein
and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. 

(c)        Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a), (i) each of the
Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the relevant Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, agree that neither it nor any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party will take any
action that would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies undertaken by the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party with respect to the Common Collateral or any other
collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, including any Disposition of the Common Collateral or such other collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise; (ii) each of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations
Representative, for itself and on behalf of the relevant Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, acknowledges that any First Lien Obligations Secured Party may direct the Applicable First Lien Agent to take actions to enforce rights or exercise
remedies (v) in any manner in its sole discretion in compliance with applicable law, (w) without consultation with or the consent of any Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, (x) regardless of whether or not an Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding has commenced, (y) regardless of any provision of any Junior Lien Obligations Documents (other than this 

  
 -17- 

 
Agreement) and (z) regardless of whether or not such exercise is adverse to the interest of any Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties; and (iii) each of the Applicable Junior Lien
Agent and each relevant Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties holding the relevant Series, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party may have as a junior
lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Applicable First Lien Agent or any First Lien Obligations Representative seeks to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens granted to secure any First Lien
Obligations, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any First Lien Obligations Secured Party is adverse to the interests of any of the
Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties. 
 (d)        Each of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and
each relevant Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties holding the relevant Series, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any applicable Junior Lien
Obligations Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party with respect to the Common Collateral
or other collateral securing the First Lien Obligations as set forth in this Agreement and any First Lien Obligations Documents. 

3.2        Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a), each
of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred,
it will not commence, or join with any person (other than the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative and the other First Lien Obligations Secured Parties, upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement,
collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Common Collateral or any other collateral under any of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Documents or otherwise in respect of the
applicable Junior Lien Obligations secured by the Common Collateral. 
 3.3        Actions Upon
Breach. If any Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to take or threatens to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including any attempt to realize
upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), this Agreement shall create an irrebuttable presumption and admission by such Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party that relief against such Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party by
injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties, it being understood and agreed by each of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each
Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, that (i) the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to
ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party waives any defense that the Pledgors and/or the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or can be made whole by the awarding of
damages. 
 SECTION 4.          Payments. 

4.1        Nature of Claims. Each of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien
Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that (i) with respect to any commitments under any First Lien Obligations Agreement that constitute
revolving credit commitments, in the ordinary course of business, the applicable First Lien Obligations Representative and lenders thereunder will apply payments and make advances to the Company or other Pledgors thereunder and the amount thereof
that may be 

  
 -18- 

 
outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (ii) no release of any Lien by the Applicable First Lien Agent or any First Lien Obligations
Representative, as the case may be, upon any portion of the Common Collateral or other collateral securing any First Lien Obligations in connection with a Disposition not prohibited under the First Lien Obligations Documents shall constitute the
exercise of remedies prohibited under this Agreement; and (iii) the amount of the First Lien Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased by way of incremental commitments or reduced and, with respect to any
First Lien Obligations that comprise revolving facilities, subsequently reborrowed. The Lien priority set forth in this Agreement shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment,
reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of the First Lien Obligations or any portion thereof. 

4.2        Application of Proceeds. Each of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior
Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, so long as the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, the Common Collateral and any other collateral securing the First Lien Obligations or proceeds thereof received in connection with the Disposition of, or collection on, such Common Collateral or
such other collateral upon the exercise of remedies as a secured party shall be applied by the Applicable First Lien Agent or the relevant First Lien Obligations Representatives to the applicable First Lien Obligations in a manner as specified in
the relevant First Lien Obligations Documents until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and prior to any application thereof to any Junior Lien Obligations. After the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.7
hereof and Section 6.4 hereof and the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Applicable First Lien Agent and the First Lien Obligations Representatives (if not the Applicable First Lien Agent) shall deliver promptly to the
Applicable Junior Lien Agent (and/or its designees), for the benefit of the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct to be applied by the Applicable Junior Lien Obligations Representative to the Junior Lien Obligations in a manner as specified in the Junior Lien Obligations Documents. Any Common Collateral or proceeds
thereof remaining after the Discharge of Junior Lien Obligations shall be promptly delivered to the Pledgors or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct to be applied. 

4.3        Payments Over. Any Common Collateral or other collateral securing any First Lien
Obligations or proceeds thereof received by the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or
recoupment) relating to the Common Collateral or such other collateral or (except as otherwise set forth in Section 6) prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of, and forthwith paid
over to, the Applicable First Lien Agent (and/or its designees), for the benefit of the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct. The Applicable First Lien Agent and each First Lien Obligations Representative (if not the Applicable First Lien Agent) are each hereby individually authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any
Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 

  
 -19- 

 SECTION 5.          Other Agreements.

 5.1        Releases. 

(a)        If, at any time any Pledgor or any First Lien Obligations Secured Party delivers notice to
the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or the relevant Junior Lien Obligations Representatives that any specified Common Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of a Pledgor or any of its subsidiaries, which shall include
for such purpose, in the case of the sale of equity interests in any such subsidiary), 

(i)        any Common Collateral held by such subsidiary or any direct or indirect
subsidiary thereof) is Disposed of (other than to another Pledgor), 

(A)        by the owner of such Common Collateral in a transaction permitted under
the First Lien Credit Agreement, any applicable Other First Lien Obligations Documents, the Notes Indenture and any applicable Other Junior Lien Obligations Documents; or 

(B)        during the existence of any Event of Default under (and as defined in) the
First Lien Credit Agreement or any applicable Other First Lien Obligations Documents in connection with any enforcement action, exercise of rights or remedies or to the extent that the Applicable First Lien Agent has consented to such Disposition;
or 
 (ii)        any Lien on Common Collateral that is ABL Priority Collateral (as
defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) is released as required by the ABL Intercreditor Agreement; 
 then (whether or not any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations upon such Common Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and upon, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Common Collateral
securing the First Lien Obligations are released and discharged; provided, that no release of the Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations with respect to any Common Collateral will be deemed to have occurred upon the Discharge of First
Lien Obligations (other than a Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurring as a result of the application of the proceeds of the Disposition of such Common Collateral to the First Lien Obligations in accordance with Section 4.2) and the Liens
securing the Junior Lien Obligations shall attach to any proceeds of such Common Collateral that remain after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such release of the Common Collateral is in connection with
any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition not in connection with any enforcement action by the Applicable First Lien Agent, then such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition must also be permitted under the Junior Lien
Obligations Documents. 
 Upon delivery to the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative (if different
from the Applicable Junior Lien Agent) of a notice from the Applicable First Lien Agent, the relevant First Lien Obligations Representatives or the Company, which notice states that any release of Liens securing or supporting any First Lien
Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective upon the release by the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or other relevant Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties) shall promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination
statements or other documents or instruments confirming such release on customary terms or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable First Lien Agent and the Company, it being understood that all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties (and their respective representatives and counsel) in connection with the execution and delivery
of such release documents or instruments shall be borne by the Pledgors. In the case of the Disposition of 

  
 -20- 

 
all or substantially all of the equity interests of a Pledgor or any of its subsidiaries, the guarantee in favor of the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, if any, made by such Pledgor or
such subsidiary will automatically be released and discharged as and upon, but only to the extent, the guarantee by such Pledgor or such subsidiary of the First Lien Obligations is released and discharged if (A) such Disposition is permitted by
the terms of the First Lien Obligations Documents and the Junior Lien Obligations Documents or (B) such Disposition is made during the existence of any Event of Default under (and as defined in) the First Lien Credit Agreement or any applicable
Other First Lien Obligations Documents in connection with any enforcement action, exercise of rights or remedies or to the extent that the Applicable First Lien Agent has consented to such Disposition. 

(b)        Each of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative
for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Company, the Applicable First Lien Agent and any officer or agent of
the Company or the Applicable First Lien Agent, 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 the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or such Junior Lien Obligations Representative, or in the Company’s or the Applicable First Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Company’s or such First Lien Obligations
Representative’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the
purposes of this Section 5.1, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. 

(c)        Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, each of the
Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after a default, of proceeds of
Common Collateral or other collateral securing the First Lien Obligations to the repayment of First Lien Obligations pursuant to the applicable First Lien Obligations Documents; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.1(c) shall be
construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Junior Lien Obligations Representatives or the Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Junior Lien Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this
Agreement or otherwise upon the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations. 

5.2        Insurance. The Applicable First Lien Agent (or the relevant First Lien Obligations
Representative) and the Applicable Junior Lien Agent (or the relevant Junior Lien Obligations Representative) will be named as additional insureds and/or loss payees, as applicable, under the insurance policies maintained by any Pledgor as required
pursuant to the applicable First Lien Obligations Documents and applicable Junior Lien Obligations Documents, respectively. Proceeds of the Common Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore, the Lien priority set forth in this Agreement
shall govern the ultimate Disposition of such insurance proceeds. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of
the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, hereby agrees that, subject to the rights of the Pledgors under the First Lien Obligations Documents: 

(a)        the Applicable First Lien Agent or the relevant First Lien Obligations
Representatives, as the case may be, shall have the sole and exclusive right to (i) adjust settlement for any losses covered by an insurance policy covering the Common Collateral or any other collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and
(ii) approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or a deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Common Collateral or such other collateral; and 

  
 -21- 

 (b)        all proceeds of any such
policy and any such award or deed, if in respect of the Common Collateral or such other collateral, shall be paid, subject to the rights of the Pledgors under the First Lien Obligations Documents, (a) first, prior to the occurrence of the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the Applicable First Lien Agent (which shall, upon receipt of such proceeds, promptly forward to the relevant First Lien Obligations Representatives for application in respect of the applicable Series) for the
benefit of the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable First Lien Obligations Documents, (b) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the Applicable Junior Lien Agent
(which shall, upon receipt of such proceeds, promptly forward to the relevant Junior Lien Obligations Representatives for application in respect of the applicable Series) for the benefit of the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties pursuant to the
terms of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Documents, and (c) third, if no Junior Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may otherwise direct. If the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in
contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Applicable First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.2 and Section 4.3. 

5.3        Amendments to Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Documents. 

(a)        So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, without the prior
written consent of the Applicable First Lien Agent, no Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent that any provisions therein as so amended, supplemented or modified,
or the terms of any new Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Document, would be prohibited by, or would require any Pledgor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this Agreement. 

(b)        In the event that the relevant First Lien Obligations Representatives or other First Lien
Obligations Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any First Lien Obligations Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any
provisions of, any First Lien Obligations Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of such First Lien Obligations Representatives, such First Lien Obligations Secured Parties, the Company or any other Pledgor thereunder, then such
amendment, waiver, consent or replacement shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Junior Obligations Collateral Document in which the Pledgors grants a Lien on the same collateral, without the consent of the
Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party and without any action by any such person; provided, that such amendment, waiver, consent or replacement does not
materially and adversely affect the rights of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and any Junior Lien Obligations Representative and does not (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties or their
interests in the Common Collateral to a greater extent than the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties in a like or similar manner (other than by virtue of their relative priorities and rights and obligations hereunder) (ii) remove assets
subject to the Lien of the Junior Lien Obligations Documents except to the extent that a release of such Lien is otherwise permitted by this Agreement and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Lien securing the First Lien Obligations
or (iii) impose new duties on the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or any representative for Junior Lien Obligations or adversely amend the rights, indemnifications or any other provisions protective of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent without its
consent. The Applicable First Lien Agent or the relevant First Lien Obligations Representatives shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative (if
not the same as the Applicable Junior Lien Agent); provided, 

  
 -22- 

 
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver, consent or replacement with respect to the provisions of any Junior Lien Obligations Collateral
Document or for any collateral document in respect of the ABL Facility or any Senior Lien Obligations Collateral Document as set forth in this Section 5.3(b). 

5.4        Rights As Unsecured Creditors. The Applicable Junior Lien Agent and the relevant
Junior Lien Obligations Representatives may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Company or any other Pledgor that has guaranteed the Junior Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Junior Lien
Obligations Documents and applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction), in each case to the extent not inconsistent with or prohibited by the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the
receipt by the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect
result of (a) the exercise by the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Obligations Representative of rights or remedies in respect of any Common Collateral or other collateral securing any Junior Lien Obligations or
(b) enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien in respect of any Junior Lien Obligations. In the event that the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Obligations Representative becomes a judgment lien creditor or other
secured creditor in respect of any Common Collateral or other collateral securing any Junior Lien Obligations as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of any Junior Lien Obligations or otherwise, such judgment
or other lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under this
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies that any First Lien Obligations Representative or any First Lien Obligations Secured Party may have with respect to the collateral securing any First
Lien Obligations. 
 5.5        First Lien Obligations Representatives as Gratuitous
Bailees/Gratuitous Agent for Perfection. 
 (a)        Each of the Applicable First Lien
Agent and each First Lien Obligations Representative agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee
and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of and on behalf of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, each Junior Lien Obligations Representative and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged
Collateral, if any, pursuant to the Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5 (such bailment and/or agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2), 9-104(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC). Pending delivery to the
Applicable First Lien Agent, each other Representative shall hold any Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral that is in its possession or control, as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of and on behalf of
each other Secured Party and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral, if any, pursuant to the relevant First Lien Obligations Collateral Documents and Junior Lien Obligations
Collateral Agreements, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5 (such bailment and/or agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections
8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2), 9-104(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC). 

(b)        In the event that the Applicable First Lien Agent or any First Lien Obligations
Representative (or its agent or bailees), as applicable, has Lien filings against Intellectual Property (as defined in the applicable First Lien Obligations Collateral Documents) that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the
perfection of Liens on such Common Collateral, the Applicable First 

  
 -23- 

 
Lien Agent or such First Lien Obligations Representative, as applicable, agrees to hold such Liens as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each
Junior Lien Obligations Representative and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Common Collateral, if any, pursuant to the Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 5.5. 
 (c)        Except as otherwise specifically provided herein
(including Sections 3.1 and 4.1), until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Applicable First Lien Agent and any First Lien Obligations Representative shall be entitled to deal with any Pledged Collateral in accordance with the
terms of the relevant First Lien Obligations Collateral Documents as if the Liens under the Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Lien Obligations Representatives and the Other Junior Lien Obligations
Secured Parties with respect to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement. 

(d)        Neither the Applicable First Lien Agent nor any First Lien Obligations Representative shall
have any obligation whatsoever to the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the Pledgors or to protect
or preserve rights or benefits of any person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the Applicable First Lien Agent and the First Lien Obligations
Representatives under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative for purposes of
perfecting the Liens securing any Junior Lien Obligations. 
 (e)        Neither the Applicable
First Lien Agent nor any First Lien Obligations Representative shall have, by reason of any Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Applicable Junior Lien
Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party. The Applicable Junior Lien Agent, each Junior Lien Obligations Representative and each Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties hereby waive
and release the Applicable First Lien Agent and each First Lien Obligations Representative from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Applicable First Lien Agent’s role or any First Lien Obligations Representative’s role, as
agent and gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent with respect to any Common Collateral, under this Section 5.5. 

(f)        After the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, the Applicable First Lien Agent or the
relevant First Lien Obligations Representatives, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver to the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) and to the extent that
such Pledged Collateral is in the possession or control of the Applicable First Lien Agent or such First Lien Obligations Representative (or its agents or bailees), together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Applicable Junior
Lien Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

(g)        None of the Applicable First Lien Agent, or any First Lien Obligations Representative or
any First Lien Obligations Secured Party shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ obligations to the Applicable First Lien Agent, such First Lien Obligations
Representatives or such First Lien Obligations Secured Parties under any First Lien Obligations Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order,
and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. 

  
 -24- 

 5.6        [Reserved]. 

5.7        Reinstatement. If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Company incurs or designates any First Lien Obligations, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other
than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such incurrence or designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and the applicable agreement governing such First Lien Obligations shall
automatically be treated as a First Lien Obligations Credit Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of the Common Collateral set forth herein. Upon receipt of notice of such
designation (including the identity of any new First Lien Obligations Representative), the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or the relevant Junior Lien Obligations Representatives shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (it
being understood that the Company will pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any such person (and their respective representatives and
counsel) in connection with the execution and delivery of such documents and agreements), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Company or such new First Lien Obligations Representative shall reasonably request in writing in
order to provide to the new First Lien Obligations Representative the rights of a First Lien Obligations Representative contemplated hereby and (ii) to the extent then held by the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Obligations
Representative, deliver to such new First Lien Obligations Representative any Pledged Collateral that is Common Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such new First Lien Obligations Representative to obtain
possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). 
 5.8        Refinancings. To the extent
not prohibited by the terms of the Notes Indenture, the First Lien Credit Agreement, any other First Lien Obligations Documents, or Junior Lien Obligations Documents, respectively, as in effect on the date hereof (or, if less restrictive, on the
date of such Refinancing), any Series of Secured Obligations may be Refinanced with Indebtedness constituting a Series of Secured Obligations of the same Class or another Class, in each case, without notice to or the consent (except to the
extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any applicable Documents) of any Secured Party, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided,
however, that the requirements set forth in Section 8.22 shall have been satisfied to the extent applicable. 
 SECTION
6.          Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. 

6.1        Financing Issues. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, until the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Pledgor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Applicable First Lien Agent shall desire to permit the use, sale or lease of cash collateral
(as defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) or to permit the Company or any other Pledgor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision in any Bankruptcy Law
(“DIP Financing”), then each of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties agrees that: 

(a)        (i) it will raise no objection to, will not support any objection to or
otherwise contest, and shall be deemed to have consented to, such use, sale or lease of such cash collateral and DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except to the extent permitted by
the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a) and Section 6.3) and (ii) it will, to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Obligations Documents are subordinated or pari passu with the Liens
securing such DIP Financing, subordinate its Liens on the Common Collateral and any other collateral securing 

  
 -25- 

 any Junior Lien Obligations to such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto,
including any “carve-out” from the Common Collateral granting administrative priority status or Lien priority to secure the payment of fees and expenses of the United States Trustee or professionals
retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee agreed to by the Applicable First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Obligations Secured Parties) and to any adequate protection Liens granted to the Applicable First Lien Agent on the same basis
as the other Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing First Lien Obligations under this Agreement. 

(b)        it will raise no objection to, and will not support any objection to or
otherwise contest (or support any other person in objecting to or contesting), any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of any First Lien Obligations made by the Applicable
First Lien Agent, any relevant First Lien Obligations Representatives or any relevant First Lien Obligations Secured Party; 

(c)        it will raise no objection to, will not support any objection to or
otherwise contest (or support any other person in objecting to or contesting), any lawful exercise by any First Lien Obligations Secured Party of the right to credit bid the First Lien Obligations under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or
any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) or at any sale in foreclosure of any Common Collateral or other collateral securing any First Lien Obligations; 

(d)        it will raise no objection to (or support any other person in objecting to
or contesting), will not support any objection to or otherwise contest, any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any First Lien Obligations Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on any Common Collateral or
other collateral securing any First Lien Obligations; or 
 (e)        except as set
forth below, it will raise no objection to, will not support any objection to or otherwise contest (or support any other person in object to or contesting), any order relating to a sale of any Common Collateral of any Pledgor for which any First
Lien Obligations Representative has consented that provides, to the extent that the sale is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on
the same basis of priority as the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations rank to the Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations in accordance with this Agreement, provided that, except as otherwise provided in the ABL Intercreditor
Agreement, it (at the direction of the requisite holders of Junior Lien Notes and the holders of other Other Junior Lien Obligations) and the holders of Junior Lien Notes may assert any objection to the bidding or related procedures proposed to be
utilized in connection with such sale or disposition that could be asserted by an unsecured creditor in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to the extent not inconsistent with or prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. 

(f)        For the avoidance of doubt, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations
has occurred, the Applicable Junior Lien Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise discretion with respect to any DIP Financing. 

6.2        Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has
occurred, the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any
other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Common Collateral or any other collateral securing any First Lien Obligations, or seek to oppose the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or
any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party from seeking relief from the automatic stay or any other stay, without the prior written consent of all First Lien Obligations Representatives or the Required Lenders in respect of each Series of First
Lien Obligations. 

  
 -26- 

 6.3        Adequate Protection. Each of the
Applicable Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest, or support any other person contesting,
(a) any request by the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party for adequate protection or (b) any objection made by the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First
Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Applicable First Lien Agent, such First Lien Obligations Representative’s or such First Lien Obligations
Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection
in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar
Bankruptcy Law, then the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or each Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself or on behalf of any applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on
such additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim (as applicable), which Lien or superpriority administrative claim is junior and subordinated to the Liens securing, and claims with respect to, the First Lien
Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and to all Liens or claims granted as adequate protection to the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Lien
Obligations are so junior and subordinated to the Liens securing, and the claims with respect to, the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) in the event that the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Obligations
Representative, for itself or on behalf of any applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party, is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim, then the
Applicable Junior Lien Agent or such Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself or on behalf of such Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party, agrees that the Applicable First Lien Agent or each First Lien Obligations Representative shall also
be granted a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security and adequate protection for the applicable First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing and/or a superpriority administrative claim (as applicable) as adequate
protection for the applicable First Lien Obligations, and that any such DIP Financing and/or superpriority administrative claim (as applicable) and any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing or providing adequate protection for
the Junior Lien Obligations and/or superpriority administrative claim shall be junior and subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing, and the claims with respect to, the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all
Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens or claims granted to the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties or their respective Representatives as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing, and claims with respect to,
the Junior Lien Obligations are so junior and subordinated to such Liens securing and claims with respect to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the First Lien
Obligations Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments, then the Applicable Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Obligations Secured
Parties shall not be prohibited from seeking and accepting adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition incurred fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments (as applicable), subject to the right of the First
Lien Obligations Secured Parties to object to the reasonableness of the amounts so sought; provided that no cash adequate protection may be paid from proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral without the requisite consent of the ABL Facility Obligations
Secured Parties. 

  
 -27- 

 6.4        Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien
Obligations Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Pledgor (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor), because the payment
of such amount was declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise,
then as among the parties hereto, the First Lien Obligations shall be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties shall be entitled
to a Discharge of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such Recovery and shall have all rights hereunder until such time. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and
effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. 

6.5        Application. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is a
“subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any applicable Bankruptcy Law) and shall be applicable and effective prior to and after the commencement of any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding. All references herein to any Pledgor shall apply to any trustee for such person and such person as debtor in possession. The relative rights as to the Common Collateral and other collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue
after the filing thereof on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Pledgor. 

6.6        Waivers. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Applicable
Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, (a) will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or
any similar provision under any applicable Bankruptcy Law) senior to or pari passu with the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or Disposing of any Common Collateral or other collateral, and (b) waives
any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any First Lien Obligations Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar provision under any applicable Bankruptcy Law) with
respect to the Collateral. 
 6.7        Post-Petition Interest. 

(a)        None of the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative, or
any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party for allowance in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Claims, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar provision under any applicable Bankruptcy Law) or otherwise, without regard to the
existence of the Junior Lien Obligations or the Liens of the Junior Lien Secured Parties on the Common Collateral. 

(b)        None of the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First Lien Obligations Representative, or any
other First Lien Obligations Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding of Junior Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Claims, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar provision under any applicable Bankruptcy Law) or otherwise, to the extent of the value of the Lien
of the Junior Lien Obligations on the Common Collateral (after taking into account the First Lien Obligations and the existence of the Liens of the First Lien Secured Parties on the Common Collateral). 

  
 -28- 

 6.8        Separate Grants of Security and Separate
Classification. Each of the Company and the other Pledgors; each Applicable First Lien Agent, First Lien Obligations Representative, and all other First Lien Obligations Secured Parties; and each Applicable Junior Lien Agent, Junior Lien
Obligations Representative, and all Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Facility Collateral Documents and the Junior Lien Notes Collateral Documents
constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Junior Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be
separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. In addition, the parties hereto agree that regardless of whether any Post-Petition Claim is allowed or allowable, and without
limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is intended to include and does include the “rule of explicitness” in that this Agreement expressly entitles the Applicable First Lien Obligations
Representative, each First Lien Obligations Representative and each other First Lien Obligations Secured Party, and is intended to provide the Applicable First Lien Agent, such First Lien Obligations Representative and such other First Lien
Obligations Secured Party with the right to receive, in respect of their First Lien Obligations, payment from the Common Collateral of all Post-Petition Claims through distributions made therefrom pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even
though any such Post-Petition Claims are not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Company or any other Pledgor under Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other provision of the
Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentences, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties and Junior Lien Obligations
Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to
amounts distributed to them from, or in respect of, the Collateral in respect of principal, prepetition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Claims, irrespective of whether such claim for such amounts is allowed
or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution from, or in respect of, any Common Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, with the Junior Lien Obligations
Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Common Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this
sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties. 

6.9        Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt
obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on
account of Junior Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Junior Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this
Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. 

6.10        Voting. No Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party may support or vote in favor of
any Plan of Reorganization that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. 
 SECTION
7.          Reliance; Waivers; etc. 

7.1        Reliance. The consent by the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties to the execution
and delivery of the Junior Lien Obligations Documents to which the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the First 

  
 -29- 

 
Lien Closing Date by the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties to the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Junior
Lien Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, acknowledges that neither it nor any such applicable Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party is entitled to rely on any credit
decision or other decisions made by any First Lien Obligations Representative or any First Lien Obligations Secured Party in taking or not taking any action under the applicable Junior Lien Obligations Document or this Agreement. 

7.2        No Warranties or Liability. No First Lien Obligations Secured Party has made, nor
shall have been deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty upon which any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or the Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties may rely or otherwise, including with respect to the
execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the First Lien Obligations Documents, the ownership of any Common Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The First Lien Obligations
Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the First Lien Obligations Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the
they may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties may have in the Common Collateral or otherwise,
except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. No First Lien Obligations Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner
that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Company or any subsidiary thereof (including the Junior Lien Obligations Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that
they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no First Lien Obligations Representative, or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party, or any Junior Lien Obligations Representative, or any other Junior Lien
Obligations Secured Party has otherwise made to each other, nor does any of them hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor does any of them assume any liability to each other, in each case with respect to (a) the
enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Junior Lien Obligations, the First Lien Obligations, or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection with the First Lien Obligations or the Junior
Lien Obligations, (b) the Company’s title to or right to transfer any of the Common Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

7.3        Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the
First Lien Obligations Representatives and the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties, and the Junior Lien Obligations Representatives and the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of: 
 (a)        any lack of validity or enforceability of any First
Lien Obligations Documents or any Junior Lien Obligations Documents; 

(b)        any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
terms of, all or any of the First Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the First
Lien Facility Documents or any Other First Lien Obligations Document or of the terms of the Junior Lien Notes Documents or any Other Junior Lien Obligations Document; 

  
 -30- 

 (c)        any exchange of any security
interest in any Common Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the First Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations or any
guarantee thereof; 
 (d)        the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Pledgor; or 
 (e)        any
other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any other Pledgor in respect of the First Lien Obligations, or of any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any Junior Lien Obligations
Secured Party in respect of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.          Miscellaneous.

 8.1        Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.20 (Relative Rights), in the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any First Lien Obligations Document or any Junior Lien Obligations Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. 

8.2        Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 5.7
(Reinstatement) and Section 6.4 (Avoidance Issues), this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred or such later time as the Discharge of Junior Lien Obligations shall have
occurred. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative (if different
from the Applicable Junior Lien Agent) or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Pledgor constituting First Lien
Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate 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. The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

8.3        Amendments; Waivers. Subject to Section 8.22 (Requirements for Consent and
Acknowledgement) hereof, no amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Applicable First Lien Agent, the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any First Lien Obligations
Representative shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of the party making the same or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and
shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. The Company and the other Pledgors shall not have any right to consent to or approve
any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except in respect of the provisions of this Agreement set forth in Section 8.17 below or otherwise to the extent their rights are affected, in which case the Company shall
have the right to consent to or approve any such amendment, modification or waiver. 

8.4        Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries. No
First Lien Obligations Secured Party shall have any obligation to any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party to keep such Junior Lien Obligations Representative or such Junior Lien Obligations
Secured Party informed of, and the Junior Lien Obligations Representatives and the Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties shall not be entitled to 

  
 -31- 

 
rely on any First Lien Obligations Representative or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party with respect to, (a) the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries and all
endorsers, pledgors and/or guarantors of the Junior Lien Obligations or the First Lien Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Junior Lien Obligations or the First Lien Obligations Claims. No First
Lien Obligations Representative, or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party, or any Junior Lien Obligations Representative or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any other party hereunder of
information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that any First Lien Obligations Representative, any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party, any Junior Lien Obligations Representative
or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it or they shall be under no obligation (w) to make, and none
of the First Lien Obligations Representatives, the other First Lien Obligations Secured Parties, the Junior Lien Obligations Representatives or the Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties shall make, any express or implied representation or
warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (x) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (y) to

Parties and the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties), the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. 

(b)        The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, until the Discharge of First Lien

 2.7        Certain Agreements with
Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. 
 (a)        This Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this
Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b)        If the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall become subject to an
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding: 
 (i)    if the Applicable ABL Obligations
Representative desires to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other similar law either secured
by a Lien on, or constituting the proceeds of, the ABL Priority Collateral (“ABL DIP Financing”), then the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Obligations
Secured Parties and Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, hereby agrees: (A) not to object to such use of cash collateral or ABL DIP Financing or to request adequate protection (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this
Agreement) or any other relief in connection therewith so long as the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties and Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties retain the benefit of their Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, including proceeds thereof
arising after the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (to the extent provided for under applicable law), with the same priority vis-à-vis
the ABL Obligations Secured Parties (other than with respect to any ABL DIP Financing Liens thereon granted thereto) as existed prior to the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (B) to the extent the Liens on the ABL
Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are subordinated to, or pari passu with, the Liens thereon securing such ABL DIP Financing, to subordinate its Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens thereon granted to the lenders
providing such ABL DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto, including any “carve-out” from the ABL Priority Collateral granting administrative priority status or Lien priority to secure
the payment of fees and expenses of the United States Trustee or professionals retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee agreed to by the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative or the other ABL Obligations Secured Parties) and to any
adequate protection Liens granted to the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative or any other ABL Obligations Secured Party on the ABL Priority Collateral on the same basis as the Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations
are subordinated to the Liens thereon securing such ABL DIP Financing or to confirm the priorities with respect to such ABL Priority Collateral as set forth herein, as applicable; and 

(ii)    if the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative desires to permit the
Company and/or any of its subsidiaries to obtain any financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other similar law secured by a Lien on, or constituting the proceeds of,
Non-ABL Priority Collateral (“Term DIP Financing”), then the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Obligations Secured Parties, hereby agrees:
(A) not to object to such Term DIP Financing or to request adequate protection (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement) or any other relief in connection therewith so long as the ABL Obligations Secured Parties
retain the benefit of their Liens on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (to the extent provided for under

  
 28 

 applicable law), with the same priority vis-à-vis the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties (other than with respect to any Term DIP Financing Liens thereon granted thereto) as existed prior
to the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (B) to the extent the Liens on Non-ABL Priority Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and/or the Junior Lien Obligations are
subordinated to, or pari passu with, the Liens thereon securing such Term DIP Financing, to subordinate its Liens on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens thereon granted to the lenders providing such
Term DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto, including any “carve-out” from the Non-ABL Priority Collateral granting administrative priority
status or Lien priority to secure the payment of fees and expenses of the United States Trustee or professionals retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee agreed to by the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative or the other
First Lien Obligations Secured Parties and Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties), to any adequate protection Liens granted to the Applicable First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Party and to any adequate protection Liens
granted to the Applicable Junior Lien Agent or any other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral, on the same basis as the Liens on such
Non-ABL Priority Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and the Liens on such Non-ABL Priority Collateral securing the Junior Lien Obligations, respectively, are
subordinated to the Liens thereon securing such Term DIP Financing in each case, or to confirm the priorities with respect to such Non-ABL Priority Collateral as set forth herein, as applicable. 

(iii)    No First Lien Obligations Secured Parties or Junior Lien Obligations Secured
Parties may provide or offer to provide, directly or indirectly, any Term DIP Financing secured by Liens on ABL Priority Collateral having a priority senior to or pari passu with the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations
or any ABL DIP Financing. No ABL Facility Obligations Secured Parties may provide or offer to provide, directly or indirectly, any ABL DIP Financing secured by Liens on Non-ABL Priority Collateral having a
priority senior to or pari passu with the Liens on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations or any Junior Lien Obligations or any Term DIP Financing. 

(c)        Each of the Applicable Junior Representative, the Junior Agents and the
other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties agrees that it will not object to and will not otherwise contest, and will be deemed to consent to: (i) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or
enforcement in respect of the Senior Secured Obligations made by the Applicable Senior Representative, any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party; (ii) any lawful exercise by any holder of claims in respect of any
Senior Secured Obligations of the right to credit bid such claims under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or in any sale in foreclosure of Collateral that is Senior Secured
Obligations Collateral with respect to such claims; (iii) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by the Applicable Senior Representative, any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party relating to the
lawful enforcement of any Lien on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral; (iv) any Disposition of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable
provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties of any Series (or the relevant Senior Agent acting on their behalf) shall have consented to such Disposition of such Senior Secured
Obligations Collateral and the applicable order approving such Disposition provides that, to the extent the Disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations and the Junior Secured Obligations will
attach to the proceeds of the Disposition on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing such Obligations on the assets being Disposed of, in accordance with this Agreement. Each of the Applicable Junior Representative, the Junior Agents and
the other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties agrees that it will not object to (and will not otherwise contest) (or support any other Person in objecting to or 

  
 29 

 
contesting) any lawful exercise by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any other ABL Facility Obligations Secured Parties of the right to credit bid ABL Obligations in respect of ABL Priority
Collateral under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any applicable Bankruptcy Law) or at any sale or foreclosure of ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the holders of ABL Obligations
will not object to (and will not otherwise contest) (or support any other Person in objecting to or contesting) any lawful exercise by the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Obligations Secured Parties or
Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties of the right to credit bid First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations (as applicable) in respect of Non-ABL Priority Collateral under Section 363(k) of the
Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any applicable Bankruptcy Law) or at any sale or foreclosure of Non-ABL Priority Collateral. 

(d)        Each of the Applicable Junior Representative, the Junior Agents and the
other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties agree that it will not seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to Senior Secured Obligations Collateral without the prior consent
of the Applicable Senior Representative. 
 (e)        Each of the Applicable
Junior Representative, the Junior Agents and the other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties hereby agrees that it will not object to and will not otherwise contest (or support any other person contesting): 

(i)    any request by the Applicable Senior Representative or any Senior Secured
Obligations Secured Party (or any Senior Agent acting on its behalf) for adequate protection (other than from cash payable from the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral of the Applicable Junior Representative) in any form with respect to the
applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, or 
 (ii)    any objection by the
Applicable Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party (or any Senior Agent acting on its behalf) to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Applicable Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Obligations
Secured Party (or any Senior Agent acting on its behalf) claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding: 

(I)(x) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate
protection with respect to the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral, then the Applicable Junior Representative may seek or request adequate protection with respect to such
applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, so long as, with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, such Lien is subordinated to the Liens thereon securing the
Senior Secured Obligations and to the Lien granted to the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties as adequate protection, on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Secured Obligations on the Senior Secured Obligations
Collateral are subordinated to the Liens on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement and (y) each of the Applicable Junior Representative, the Junior Agents and the other Junior
Secured Obligations Secured Parties hereby agrees that in the event the Applicable Junior Representative is granted adequate protection with respect to the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral in the form of a Lien on additional or
replacement collateral, then the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties (or the Applicable Senior Representative or the relevant Senior Agents acting on their behalf) 

  
 30 

 shall also be granted a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as
security and adequate protection for the Senior Secured Obligations and that any adequate protection Lien on such additional or replacement collateral that constitutes Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing or providing adequate protection
for the Junior Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral granted to the relevant Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties and any other Lien on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral granted to the Senior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the Liens securing the Junior Secured Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement; and 

(II)(x) if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate
protection with respect to the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral in the form of a super priority administrative claim, then the Applicable Junior Representative may seek or request adequate protection with respect to such applicable
Senior Secured Obligations Collateral in the form of a super priority administrative claim, so long as such claim is subordinated to the adequate protection super priority claim granted to the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties on
the same basis as the other claims with respect to the Junior Secured Obligations are subordinated to the claims with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement and (y) each of the Applicable Junior Representative, the
Junior Agents and the other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties hereby agrees that in the event that the Applicable Junior Representative is granted adequate protection with respect to the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral in
the form of a superpriority administrative claim, then the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties (or the Applicable Senior Representative or the relevant Senior Agents acting on their behalf) shall also be granted a superpriority administrative
claim with respect to such applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral and that any claim granted with respect to the Junior Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the superpriority administrative claim granted with respect to the Senior
Secured Obligations as adequate protection on the same basis as the claims with respect to the Junior Secured Obligations are so subordinated to the claims with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations under this Agreement. Any superpriority
administrative claim in respect of the Senior Secured Obligations will have priority in right of payment over any superpriority administrative claim in respect of the Junior Secured Obligations. 

(f)        Each of the Applicable Junior Representative, the Junior Agents and the
other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties hereby agrees that (i) it will not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Applicable Senior Representative, any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party for
allowance of the Senior Secured Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Charges; and (ii) until the Discharge of Senior Secured Obligations has occurred, the Applicable Junior Representative, the Junior Agents and the other Junior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) senior to or on a parity with the Liens on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing
the Senior Secured Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral (other than in respect of any ABL DIP Financing or Term DIP Financing, as applicable). 

(g)        The First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative, for itself and on
behalf of the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties, and the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Obligations Secured Parties, acknowledge and intend that: the grants of
Liens pursuant to the First Lien Obligations Collateral Documents and the Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Documents, on the one hand, and the ABL Obligations Collateral Documents, on the other hand, constitute separate and distinct grants of
Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the ABL Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and the 

  
 31 

 Junior Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed
or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Obligations Secured Parties and the
claims of the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties in respect of any Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then the ABL Obligations Secured Parties and
the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions from the Common Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligations and Non-ABL Obligations against the Pledgors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or the Non-ABL Priority Collateral
is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Class of Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is Junior Secured Obligations Collateral), the ABL Obligations Secured Parties or the
Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition
interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Claims that are available from the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral for each of the ABL Obligations Secured Parties and the
Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties (regardless of whether any such Post-Petition Claims may or may not be allowed or allowable in whole or in part as against the Company or any of the other Pledgors in the
applicable Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding(s) pursuant to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise), respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of any claims in respect of the Junior Secured Obligations from, or
with respect to, such applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, with the holder of such claims hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from, or
with respect to, such applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing their aggregate recoveries. 

(h)        If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the
reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Non-ABL Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Non-ABL Obligations are secured by Liens upon
the Common Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations
and the distribution of proceeds thereof. 
 (i)        The First Lien/ Junior Lien
Intercreditor Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties, and the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Obligations Secured
Parties, acknowledge and agree that without the First Lien/ Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative’s or Applicable ABL Obligations Representative’s (as the case may be) express written consent, no holder of ABL Obligations nor any holder
of First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations shall propose, vote for, or otherwise support directly or indirectly any Plan of Reorganization proposed in or in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding that is inconsistent with
the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement. 

2.8        Reinstatement. If, at any time after the Discharge of ABL
Obligations or the Discharge of Non-ABL Obligations has occurred, the Company incurs or designates any ABL Obligations or any Non-ABL Obligations, then, at the
Company’s election, such Discharge of ABL Obligations or such Discharge of Non-ABL Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with
respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such incurrence or designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge), and the applicable agreement governing 

  
 32 

 
such ABL Obligations or such Non-ABL Obligations shall automatically be treated as the ABL Credit Agreement or the ABL Pari Lien Obligations Credit
Document, as applicable, or the First Lien Obligations Credit Document, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of the Common Collateral set forth herein. Upon
receipt of notice of such designation (including the identity of any new Representative), the Applicable Junior Agents shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements, including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the
Company or such new Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide to such new Representative the rights contemplated hereby and (ii) to the extent then held by the Applicable Junior Agents or any Junior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties, deliver to such new Representative any Pledged Collateral that is Common Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such new Representative to obtain possession or control of such Pledged
Collateral), it being understood that all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Secured Parties (and their respective representatives) in
connection with the execution and delivery of such documents and instruments shall be borne by the Pledgors. 

2.9        Entry Upon Premises by the Applicable ABL Obligations
Representative. 
 (a)        If the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative
takes any enforcement action with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties (i) shall cooperate with the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative (at the sole cost
and expense of the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative as ABL Facility Obligations and subject to the condition that no Non-ABL Obligations Secured Party shall have any obligation or duty to take any
action or refrain from taking any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any liability or damage to the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties, to the extent such liability or
damage is not subject to reasonable indemnification or other customary insurance) in its efforts to enforce its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral and/or to finish any
work-in-process and assemble the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) shall not take or direct any Representative to take any action designed or intended to hinder or
restrict in any respect the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative from enforcing its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral or from finishing any
work-in-process or assembling the ABL Priority Collateral, and (iii) shall permit and direct each First Lien Obligations Representative and each Junior Lien
Obligations Representative to permit the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative (and its employees, agents, advisers and representatives), at the sole cost and expense of the ABL Obligations Secured Parties and upon reasonable advance notice, to
enter upon and use the Non-ABL Priority Collateral on which any of such ABL Priority Collateral is located (including (x) equipment, processors, computers and other machinery related to the storage or
processing of records, documents or files and (y) intellectual property), until the earlier of (a) 180 days after the taking of such enforcement action and (b) the sale or other disposition of all of the ABL Priority Collateral at such
location (the “Use Period”), for purposes of (A) assembling and storing the ABL Priority Collateral and completing the processing of and turning into finished goods of any ABL Priority Collateral consisting of work-in-process, (B) Disposing of any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on premises (at any time during such access period) constituting Non-ABL Priority Collateral, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, (C) removing any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on premises (at any time
during such access period) constituting Non-ABL Priority Collateral, or (D) taking reasonable actions to protect, secure, and otherwise enforce the rights of the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative
and the other ABL Obligations Secured Parties in and to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the rights of the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative or
any other First Lien Obligations Representative or, if applicable any applicable Junior Lien Obligations Representative from Disposing of any Non-ABL Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of such Use
Period if the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the 

  
 33 

 
provisions of this Section 2.9. If any stay or other order prohibiting the exercise of remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral has been entered by a court
of competent jurisdiction, such Use Period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay or other order. 

(b)        During the period of actual occupation, use or control by the ABL
Obligations Secured Parties or their agents or representatives (including the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative to the extent acting on behalf of such parties) of any Non-ABL Priority Collateral, the
ABL Obligations Secured Parties shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage to such Non-ABL Priority Collateral or other assets or property resulting from such occupancy, use or control,
and to leave such Non-ABL Priority Collateral or other assets or property in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted
(provided, that the ABL Facility Obligations Secured Parties will not have any obligation as a result of any diminution in the value of the Non-ABL Priority Collateral resulting from the absence of such
ABL Priority Collateral). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Obligations Secured Parties have any liability to the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties pursuant to this
Section 2.9 as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the Non-ABL Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the
exercise by the ABL Obligations Secured Parties (or their agents or representatives) of their rights under this Section 2.9 and the ABL Obligations Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Non-ABL Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use thereof by the ABL Obligations Secured Parties (or their agents or representatives), or for any
diminution in the value of the Non-ABL Priority Collateral that results solely from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the Non-ABL Priority Collateral by
the ABL Obligations Secured Parties (or their agents or representatives) in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 2.9. Without limiting the rights granted in this paragraph, the ABL Obligations
Secured Parties shall cooperate with the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative (at the sole cost and expense of the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative, and subject to the condition that the ABL Obligations Secured
Parties have no obligation or duty to take any action or refrain from taking any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any liability or damage to the ABL Obligations Secured Parties) in connection with any efforts
made by the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative to cause the Non-ABL Priority Collateral to be sold. 

(c)        In addition, the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties, the Junior Lien
Obligations Secured Parties and their respective Representatives hereby grant (to the extent they have authority to do so) the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative and the other ABL Obligations Secured Parties a
non-exclusive worldwide license or right to use, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent of their interest therein, exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation, any
of the Non-ABL Priority Collateral consisting of intellectual property in connection with the liquidation, collection, Disposition or other realization upon the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to any
enforcement action by the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative and the other ABL Obligations Secured Parties; provided that such license shall expire (as to any particular ABL Priority Collateral) on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the date
ABL Facility Collateral Agent first takes any enforcement action with respect to such ABL Priority Collateral (such period to be calculated by excluding any day on which enforcement actions are stayed as a result of an Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding) and (ii) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all of the ABL Priority Collateral; provided, however, that such expiration shall be without prejudice to the sale or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral in
accordance with applicable law. 

  
 34 

 2.10        Insurance. As between
the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative, on the one hand, and the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative, any other First Lien Obligations Representative and any Junior Lien Obligations Representative, on the other hand, until the
Discharge of the Senior Secured Obligations has occurred, only the Applicable Senior Representative will have the right (subject to the rights of the Pledgors under the ABL Obligations Documents and the
Non-ABL Obligations Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Senior Secured Obligations Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award
granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting Senior Secured Obligations. To the extent that an insured loss covers or constitutes ABL Priority Collateral and Non-ABL Priority Collateral, then
the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative and the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative will work jointly and in good faith to collect, adjust or settle (subject to the rights of the Pledgors under the First Lien Facility
Documents, the ABL Facility Documents, the Junior Lien Notes Documents and the applicable ABL Pari Passu Obligations Documents, Other First Lien Obligations Documents or Other Junior Lien Obligations Documents) under the relevant insurance policy.

 2.11        Amendments to Security Documents. 

(a)          So long as the Discharge of Senior Secured Obligations has not
occurred, without the prior written consent of the Applicable Senior Representative, no Junior Secured Obligations Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent that any provisions therein as so
amended, supplemented or modified, or the terms of any new Junior Secured Obligations Collateral Document, would be prohibited by any of the terms of this Agreement. 

(b)          In the event that any Applicable Senior Representative, any
Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replaces any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or
consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of such Applicable Senior Representative, Senior Agent or Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, the
Company or any other Pledgor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver, consent or replacement shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Junior Obligations Collateral Document without the consent of the Applicable Junior
Representative, any Junior Agent or any other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party and without any action by any of the Applicable Junior Representative, Junior Agent or Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party; provided, that
(x) such amendment, waiver, consent or replacement does not (i) materially adversely affect the rights of the Applicable Junior Representative, any Junior Agent or any other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party in the Senior Secured
Obligations Collateral and not the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties that have a security interest in the affected Collateral in a like or similar manner (without regard to the fact that the Liens of such Senior Secured Obligations
Collateral Document are senior to the Liens of the Comparable Junior Obligations Collateral Document) (ii) remove assets subject to the Lien of the Junior Secured Obligations Documents except to the extent that a release of such Lien is
otherwise permitted by this Agreement and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Lien securing the Senior Secured Obligations or (iii) impose new duties on the Junior Agent or any representative for Junior Secured Obligations or
adversely amend the rights, indemnifications or any other provisions protective of the Junior Agent without its consent. 

(c)          The Company shall give written notice of such amendment,
waiver or consent to the Applicable Junior Representative (which shall forward such notice upon receipt to each relevant Junior Agent); provided, that the amendment to the comparable Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Document shall not
become effective until such notice is received by the Junior Lien Notes Collateral Agent; provided, further that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to or
replacement of the provisions of any Junior Senior Secured Collateral Document. 

  
 35 

 (d)        The Non-ABL Secured Parties acknowledge that (i) the Pledgors are not required by the existing Non-ABL Obligations Documents to maintain any control agreements with respect
to any Pledged Collateral consisting of deposit accounts, securities accounts or commodities accounts and (ii) the provisions in favor of the Non-ABL Secured Parties relating to such Pledged Collateral
set forth in Section 2.13 and paragraph 2 of the Acknowledgement and Consent to ABL Intercreditor Agreement (Company and the Other Pledgors) attached hereto are not intended to give the
Non-ABL Secured Parties any independent rights to maintain any control agreement at any time when the ABL Credit Agreement does not require it or is not in existence or otherwise. In connection with any
automatic termination of any security interest in Pledged Collateral set forth in paragraph 2 of the Acknowledgement of and Consent to ABL Intercreditor Agreement (Company and the Other Pledgors) attached hereto, the Applicable ABL Obligations
Representative shall promptly (and the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties hereby authorize it to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Company and at the
Company’s expense to evidence such termination; provided that the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative shall have agreed that such termination has occurred with respect to such Pledged Collateral. 

2.12        Refinancings. Any Series of Secured Obligations may be Refinanced
with Indebtedness constituting a Series of Secured Obligations of the same Class or another Class, in each case, without notice to or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under
any applicable Document) of any Secured Party, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that the requirements set forth in Section 4.13 shall
have been satisfied to the extent applicable. 
 2.13        Pledged Collateral
Agent as Gratuitous Bailee/Gratuitous Agent for Perfection. 
 (a)        Each
of the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative and the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative, for itself and on behalf of the relevant Secured Parties, hereby agrees that: (i) each Pledged Collateral Agent shall hold the Pledged
Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of and on behalf of each Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of
perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral, if any, pursuant to the relevant ABL Obligations Collateral Documents, First Lien Obligations Collateral Documents, or Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Documents, as applicable,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.13 (such bailment and/or agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2), 9-104(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC); (ii) to the extent any Pledged Collateral is possessed by or is under the control of
a Representative (either directly or through its agents or bailees) other than the Applicable Pledged Collateral Agent, such Representative shall deliver such Pledged Collateral to (or shall cause such Pledged Collateral to be delivered to) the
Applicable Pledged Collateral Agent and shall take all actions reasonably requested in writing by the Applicable Pledged Collateral Agent to cause the Applicable Pledged Collateral Agent to have possession or control of same; and (iii) pending
such delivery to the Applicable Pledged Collateral Agent, each other Representative shall hold any Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of and on behalf of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely
for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such 

  
 36 

 
Pledged Collateral, if any, pursuant to the relevant ABL Obligations Collateral Documents or First Lien Obligations Collateral Documents, as applicable and in each case, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 2.13 (such bailment and/or agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3),
8-301(a)(2), 9-104(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC). 

(b) [Reserved] 

(c)        The duties or responsibilities of the Pledged Collateral Agent and each
other Representative under this Section 2.13 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of each Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the
security interest held by the Secured Parties in the Pledged Collateral. 

(d)        Upon the Discharge of Non-ABL
Obligations, the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative shall deliver to the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) held by it, together
with any necessary endorsements without any representation, warranty or recourse (or otherwise allow the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct. The Company shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Pledged Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Pledged Collateral Agent as a result of such
transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Pledged Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. No First Lien Obligations Representative and no Junior Lien Obligations Representative shall be
obligated to follow instructions from the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative in contravention of this Agreement. 

(e)        Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the then Applicable ABL Obligations
Representative shall deliver to the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or
otherwise allow the Applicable First Lien Agent or the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, as the case may be, to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Company shall take such further
action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Pledged Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Pledged Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the
Pledged Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. Neither the ABL Facility Collateral Agent nor any ABL Pari Lien Obligations Agent shall be obligated to follow instructions from the Applicable First
Lien Agent or the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, as the case may be, in contravention of this Agreement. 

2.14        Rights as Unsecured Creditors. 

(a)        Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the ABL
Obligations Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Company or any other Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the ABL Obligations Documents to which such ABL Obligations Secured Parties are party and
applicable law, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Obligations Secured Parties of the
required payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the ABL Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any ABL Obligations Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured
creditor (including set off) in respect of the Non-ABL Priority Collateral in contravention of this 

  
 37 

 
Agreement or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. In the event any ABL Obligations Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Non-ABL Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Non-ABL
Obligations, in each case, on the same basis as the other Liens on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are so subordinated to such Non-ABL
Obligations under this Agreement. 
 (b)        Except as otherwise expressly set
forth in this Agreement, the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Company or any other Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the Non-ABL Obligations Documents to which such Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties are party and applicable law, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties of the required payments of interest,
principal and other amounts in respect of the Non-ABL Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Non-ABL Obligations
Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set off) in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. In the
event any Non-ABL Obligations Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of ABL Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien
shall be subordinated to the Liens securing ABL Obligations, in each case, on the same basis as the other Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Non-ABL Obligations are so subordinated to such ABL
Obligations under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.        Existence and Amounts of
Liens and Obligations. 
 Whenever a Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or
the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Senior Secured Obligations (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Senior Secured Obligations) or Junior Secured
Obligations, (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Junior Secured Obligations), or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other
Representatives and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if a Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information,
the requesting Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Company. Each Representative may rely
conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, any Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination.

effective with respect to any Representative (to the extent not a party to such amendment, waiver or consent) until such notice is received by such Representative; provided, further, that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the

 4.6        Continuing Nature of This
Agreement; Severability. 
 (a)        Subject to Sections 2.5(c)
(Avoidance Issues) and 2.8 (Reinstatement), this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the earlier to occur of the Discharge of ABL Obligations or the Discharge of Non-ABL Obligations. This is
a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Applicable Junior Representative or any other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party, to extend
credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Pledgor constituting Senior Secured Obligations in reliance hereon. 

(b)        Following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Junior Lien
Obligations shall be deemed to be “First Lien Obligations” for all purposes of this Agreement and the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties shall succeed to the rights and obligations of the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties
hereunder as if they were First Lien Obligations Secured Parties, and their Obligations constituted First Lien Obligations as of the date hereof, whereupon all provisions herein relating to, or in respect of, the First Lien Obligations or the First
Lien Obligations Secured Parties (and any of their Representatives) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Junior Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties (and any of their Representatives), and any other provisions relating
to, or in respect of, the Junior Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties (and any of their Representatives) shall cease to be in force and effect. 

(c)        Any provision of this Agreement that is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

4.7        Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process;
Waivers. 
 (a)        THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW. 

(b)        Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof (collectively, “New York
Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may 
 be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

  
 41 

 (c)        Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement in any New York Courts or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 (d)        Each party hereto hereby irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 4.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

(e)        Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not
prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 4.7 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 

4.8        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED
TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

4.9        Headings. Section and Exhibits headings used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

4.10        Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between
the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the ABL Obligations Documents or the Non-ABL Obligations Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 

4.11        Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are
intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the ABL Obligations Secured Parties and the Non-ABL Obligations Secured Parties in relation to one another. None of the Company, any other
Pledgor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Company or any other 

  
 42 

 
Pledgor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Secured Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any ABL Obligations Document, any First Lien Obligations Document or any Junior Lien Obligations Document, the Pledgors shall not be required to act or refrain from acting (a) pursuant to this Agreement, any First Lien
Obligations Document or any Junior Lien Obligations Document, as the case may be, with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under any ABL Obligations Document, (b) pursuant to this Agreement, any ABL
Obligations Document or any Junior Lien Obligations Document, as the case may be, with respect to any Non-ABL Priority Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under any First Lien Obligations
Document, or (c) pursuant to this Agreement, any ABL Obligations Document or any First Lien Obligations Document, as the case may be, with respect to any Non-ABL Priority Collateral in any manner that
would cause a default under any Junior Lien Obligations Document. 

4.12        Agent Capacities. Except as expressly set forth herein, the ABL
Facility Collateral Agent, the First Lien Facility Agent, the Junior Lien Obligations Agents, the ABL Pari Lien Obligations Agents, the Other First Lien Obligations Agents and the Other Junior Lien Obligations Agents shall not have any duties or
obligations in respect of any of the Collateral, all of such duties and obligations, if any, being subject to and governed by the applicable ABL Obligations Documents, First Lien Obligations Documents or Junior Lien Obligations Documents, as the
case may be. It is understood and agreed that (i) JPM is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent under the ABL Facility, and the ABL Credit Agreement applicable to JPM as administrative agent
and collateral agent thereunder shall also apply to JPM as the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative hereunder, (ii) DB is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent under the First Lien Credit
Agreement and the provisions of the First Lien Credit Agreement applicable to DB as administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder shall also apply to DB hereunder and (iii) US Bank is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as
trustee and collateral agent under the Junior Lien Notes Indenture and the provisions of the Junior Lien Notes Indenture applicable to US Bank as trustee and collateral agent thereunder shall also apply to US Bank hereunder. The ABL Facility
Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Facility Obligations Secured Parties and each ABL Pari Lien Obligations Agent on behalf of the ABL Pari Lien Obligations Secured Parties hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Applicable ABL Obligations
Representative under this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The First Lien
Facility Agent on behalf of the First Lien Facility Obligations Secured Parties, the Junior Lien Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Junior Lien Notes Obligations Secured Parties, each Other First Lien Obligations Agent on behalf of the Other
First Lien Obligations Secured Parties and each Other Junior Lien Obligations Agent on behalf of the Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative
under this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of the
First Lien Credit Agreement applicable to DB as administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder shall also apply to DB as First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative and the provisions of the Junior Lien Notes Indenture applicable to US
Bank as trustee and collateral agent thereunder shall also apply to DB as First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative. 

  
 43 

 4.13        Requirements for Consent
and Acknowledgment. 
 (a)        The Company may designate hereunder
additional obligations as an ABL Facility, a First Lien Facility, Junior Lien Notes Obligations, ABL Pari Lien Obligations, Other First Lien Obligations or Other Junior Lien Obligations, and may specify that any such obligations constitute a
Refinancing of any existing Series of Secured Obligations, if the incurrence of such obligations and related Liens (including the priority thereof) is not prohibited under each of the ABL Obligations Documents, First Lien Obligations Documents,
Junior Lien Obligations Documents and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, all ABL Facility Obligations and ABL Pari Lien
Obligations, other than ABL Facility Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, are prohibited hereunder unless consented to in writing by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent under the ABL Credit Agreement acting at the direction of the requisite ABL
Obligations Secured Parties thereunder. 
 (b)        If not so prohibited and if
the Company wishes to so designate, the Company shall (i) notify the Applicable Senior Representative in writing of such designation, certifying that such designation is permitted by the ABL Obligations Documents, First Lien Obligations
Documents, Junior Lien Obligations Documents, as applicable, and this Agreement (and the Applicable Senior Representative shall forward such notice to each Representative then existing), (ii) cause the applicable agent for any such additional
obligations that are designated as ABL Pari Lien Obligations, Other First Lien Obligations or Other Junior Lien Obligations, as applicable, to execute and deliver an applicable Consent and Acknowledgment and (iii) if applicable, cause such
agent to indicate in such Consent and Acknowledgment that such ABL Pari Lien Obligations, Other First Lien Obligations or Other Junior Lien Obligations constitute a Refinancing of a specified existing Series of Secured Obligations. 

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 4.13 (except as set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.13(a)) or in Section 4.2 (Amendments; Waivers) hereof, the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative and the First
Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative shall, at the request of the Company, without the consent of any Secured Parties, execute and deliver the acknowledgement and confirmation of the applicable Consent and Acknowledgment and/or enter into
an amendment, an amendment and restatement or a supplement of this Agreement to facilitate the designation of an ABL Facility, a First Lien Facility, Junior Lien Notes Obligations, ABL Pari Lien Obligations, Other First Lien Obligations or Other
Junior Lien Obligations. Any such amendment may, among other things: 
 (i)    add other
parties holding ABL Facility Obligations, First Lien Facility Obligations, Junior Lien Notes Obligations arising out of Junior Liens Notes Documents, ABL Pari Lien Obligations, Other First Lien Obligations or Other Junior Lien Obligations (or any
agent or trustee therefor), as the case may be, to the extent such Indebtedness is not prohibited by the applicable Documents; 

(ii)    in the case of additional Secured Obligations that are Junior Secured Obligations,
(A) establish that the Liens on the Common Collateral securing such Junior Secured Obligations shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any present or future Senior Secured Obligations, and
(B) provide to holders of such Junior Secured Obligations (or any agent or trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the Applicable Senior Representative or
the Senior Agents) as are provided to the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties under this Agreement; and 

(iii)    in the case of additional Obligations that are Senior Secured Obligations,
(A) establish that the Liens on the Common Collateral securing such Senior Secured Obligations shall be superior and prior in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any present or future Junior Secured Obligations, and
(b) provide to the holders of such Senior Secured Obligations (or any agent or trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits as are provided to the Senior Secured Parties under this Agreement. 

 

  
 44 

 (d)        Any such additional party as
described in clause (c) above, each Senior Agent and each Junior Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Company that such modifications do not violate any applicable Documents, if such determination is set forth
in an officer’s certificate delivered by the Company at the request of such party, the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative or the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative; provided, however, that such
determination will not affect whether or not the Company has complied with its undertakings in such Documents. 

(e)        At the request of the Company, without the consent of any Secured Parties,
to the extent permitted under the applicable ABL Obligations Documents, First Lien Obligations Documents, or Junior Lien Obligations Documents, any then existing ABL Obligations Representative, First Lien Obligations Representative or Junior Lien
Obligations Representative (in addition to the ABL Obligations Representative and the First Lien/Junior Lien Intercreditor Representative) shall execute and deliver the acknowledgement and confirmation of the applicable Consent and Acknowledgment
and/or enter into an amendment, an amendment and restatement or a supplement of this Agreement to facilitate the designation of an ABL Facility, a First Lien Facility, Junior Lien Notes Obligations, ABL Pari Lien Obligations, Other First Lien
Obligations or Other Junior Lien Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, such actions shall not be required for the effectiveness of any such designation of an ABL Facility, a First Lien Facility, Junior Lien Notes Obligations, ABL Pari Lien
Obligations, Other First Lien Obligations or Other Junior Lien Obligations. 

4.14        Intercreditor Agreements. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each party hereto agrees that the ABL Obligations
Secured Parties (as among themselves), the First Lien Obligations Secured Parties (as among themselves) and the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties (as among themselves) may each enter into intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) with
the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative, the Applicable First Lien Agent or the Applicable Junior Lien Agent, respectively, governing the rights, benefits and privileges as among the ABL Obligations Secured Parties, or among the First Lien
Obligations Secured Parties or among the Junior Lien Obligations Secured Parties, as the case may be, in respect of any or all of the Common Collateral, this Agreement, the ABL Facility Collateral Documents, any ABL Pari Lien Obligations Collateral
Documents, the First Lien Facility Collateral Documents, any Other First Lien Obligations Collateral Documents, the Junior Lien Notes Collateral Documents, any Other Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Documents, as the case may be, including as to
the application of proceeds of any Common Collateral, voting rights, control of any Common Collateral and waivers with respect to any Common Collateral, in each case so long as the terms thereof do not violate or conflict with the provisions of this
Agreement, any ABL Obligations Collateral Documents, any First Lien Obligations Collateral Documents or any Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Documents, as the case may be. In any event, if a respective intercreditor agreement (or similar
arrangement) exists, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement, any ABL Obligations Collateral Document, any First Lien Obligations Collateral Document or any Junior Lien
Obligations Collateral Document, and the provisions of this Agreement, the ABL Obligations Collateral Documents, the First Lien Obligations Collateral Documents and the Junior Lien Obligations Collateral Documents shall remain in full force and
effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including to give effect to any such intercreditor agreement (or
similar arrangement)). 

  
 45 

 4.15        Further Assurances.

 Each of the ABL Obligations Representative, each ABL Obligations Secured Party, each First Lien Obligations
Representative, each other First Lien Obligations Secured Party, each Junior Lien Obligations Representative and each Other Junior Lien Obligations Secured Party, agrees that it and they shall (subject, in the case of US Bank, to compliance with the
terms of the Junior Lien Notes Indenture) take such further action and shall execute and deliver to the other Applicable Senior Representative and the Secured Parties of the other Class such additional documents and instruments (in recordable
form, if requested) as such Applicable Senior Representative or the Company may reasonably request to effectuate the terms of, and the Lien priorities contemplated by, this Agreement, including, entering into such supplemental agreements (which may
each take the form of an amendment, a restatement or a supplement of this Agreement) to facilitate a designation by the Company of (i) a First Lien Facility, (ii) Junior Lien Obligations, (iii) an ABL Facility, (iv) additional
obligations as Other First Lien Obligations, (v) additional obligations as Other Junior Lien Obligations or (vi) additional obligations as ABL Pari Lien Obligations, in each case, as permitted hereunder (including in each case of the foregoing
in respect of a reinstatement contemplated by Section 2.8 or a Refinancing contemplated by Section 2.12). The Company agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Representatives in connection with such actions and/or the execution and delivery of such additional documents and instruments pursuant to this
Section 4.15.

the express provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and agrees that, except as otherwise provided therein, including with respect to those provisions of which the Company is an intended third party beneficiary, no Secured Party shall have any
liability to the Pledgors for acting in accordance with the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the other Documents referred to therein. Each of the Company and the other Pledgors understands that no Pledgor is an intended beneficiary
or third party beneficiary of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement except that it is an intended beneficiary and third party beneficiary thereof with the right and power to enforce with respect to the applicable provisions set forth in
Section 4.3 (Parties in Interest) and as otherwise provided in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise to the extent its rights are affected. 

2.        Solely for purposes of implementing the perfection provisions of
Section 2.13 of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement with respect to any Pledged Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts subject to the control (as defined in the UCC) of the Applicable ABL Obligations
Representative (each, a “Controlled Account”), each of the Company and the other Pledgors, grants to the Applicable ABL Obligations Representative for the benefit of the Non-ABL Obligations
Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Non-ABL Obligations, a security interest in each Controlled Account, which security interest shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of
(a) the termination of the account control agreement governing such Controlled Account pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, (b) the release of such Controlled Account from the security interest created therein by the applicable ABL
Obligations Documents (whereupon the Pledgors shall have the right to cause the account control agreement governing such Controlled Account to be terminated notwithstanding the continuation of the security interest therein referred to in the next
clause) and (c) the release of such Controlled Account from the security interest created therein by the applicable Non-ABL Obligations Documents (other than the ABL Intercreditor Agreement). 

3.        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement
or provided herein, each of the undersigned acknowledges that the Pledgors shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, renewal, extension, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement
except to the extent their rights are adversely and directly affected (in which case the Company shall have the right to consent to or approve any such amendment, amendment, renewal, extension, supplement). 

4.        Each of the undersigned further agrees that it will not will bring any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement that any other forum would be inconvenient
and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the parties hereto who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction).

 Exhibit A-3-3 

 EXHIBIT R 

TERMS OF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (PARI PASSU) 

The following summary of terms and conditions is intended to summarize certain basic terms of an intercreditor agreement (each such definitive
intercreditor agreement that is subject to the terms of this term sheet hereinafter referred to as the “First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement” and each such reference herein shall refer only to itself and not any other
such agreement subject to the terms of this term sheet). To the extent any terms and conditions of any First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement are not summarized herein, such terms and conditions shall be as negotiated in good faith at the
relevant time between the parties thereto and shall otherwise be subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement (as defined below), which, for the avoidance of doubt, permit the terms of the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement to be materially
different in certain circumstances but otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent (as defined below). 

 

			
	FINANCING DOCUMENTS:	  	The First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of June 25, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, extended, restructured, refinanced, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement), by and among Aleris International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Aleris Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, the Lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Credit Agreement Collateral Agent,” it being
understood and agreed that the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent will include any collateral agent under an agreement that refinances, replaces, restructures, extends or renews the Credit Agreement in full) and definitive documentation in respect of
the Additional First Lien Obligations (as defined below) (the “Additional First Lien Documents,” and together with the Loan Documents, the “Secured Credit Documents”).
		
	CREDIT AGREEMENT SECURED PARTIES:	  	The Secured Parties, including the Administrative Agent and the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent (the “Credit Agreement Secured Parties”).
		
	ADDITIONAL FIRST LIEN SECURED PARTIES:	  	The holders of any Additional First Lien Obligations and any Authorized Representative (as defined below) with respect thereto (the “Additional First Lien Secured Parties”
and

			
		  	together with the Credit Agreement Secured Parties, the “First Lien Secured Parties”). As used herein, “Authorized Representative” means (i) in the case of any Credit Agreement Obligations (as
defined below) or the Credit Agreement Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and (ii) in the case of any Additional First Lien Secured Parties, the relevant authorized representative named in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement or
any joinder agreement thereto.
		
	CREDIT AGREEMENT OBLIGATIONS:	  	The First Lien Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement and referred to herein as the “Credit Agreement Obligations”).
		
	ADDITIONAL FIRST LIEN OBLIGATIONS:	  	All amounts owing pursuant to any notes, indentures, credit agreements, security documents and other operative documents evidencing or governing “Initial Additional First Lien Obligations” or any series of
“Additional Senior Class Debt” (in each case to be defined in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) permitted to be incurred and secured under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Additional First Lien
Obligations,” and together with the Credit Agreement Obligations, the “First Lien Obligations”).
		
	SHARED COLLATERAL:	  	“Shared Collateral” shall mean Collateral over which two or more series of First Lien Obligations have a valid and perfected lien.
		
	LIEN PRIORITIES	  	So long as the First Lien Obligations are outstanding, the liens on the Shared Collateral securing First Lien Obligations will be pari passu in all respects to the liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Credit Agreement
Obligations; provided that each Pari Series (as defined below) shall solely bear any Impairment (as defined below). It is the intention of the First Lien Secured Parties of each series of First Lien Obligations that the holders of the First
Lien Obligations of such series (and not the First Lien Secured Parties of any other series of First Lien Obligations (a “Pari Series”)) bear the risk (i) of any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that
(x) any of the First Lien Obligations of such series are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than a Pari Series), (y) the security interest of such series of First Lien Obligations in any of
the Shared Collateral securing any other series of First Lien Obligations is not enforceable,

			
		  	and/or (z) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than a Pari Series of First Lien Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such series of First Lien Obligations
but junior to the security interest of any Pari Series of First Lien Obligations (the holder of such intervening security interest, an “Intervening Creditor”) or (ii) the existence of any collateral for any other series of
First Lien Obligations that is not Shared Collateral (any such determination referred to in the foregoing clauses (x), (y) or (z) with respect to any series of First Lien Obligations, an “Impairment” of such series). In the
event of any Impairment with respect to any series of First Lien Obligations, the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the First Lien Secured Parties of such series, and the rights of the First Lien Secured Parties of such series
(including the right to receive distributions in respect of such series of First Lien Obligations pursuant to the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) set forth in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement shall be modified to the extent
necessary so that the effects of such Impairment are borne solely by the First Lien Secured Parties holding the series of First Lien Obligations subject to such Impairment. Additionally, in the event the First Lien Obligations of any series are
modified pursuant to applicable law (including pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code), any reference to such First Lien Obligations or the Debt Documents governing such First Lien Obligations shall refer to such obligations or
documents as so modified.
		
	CREDIT AGREEMENT COLLATERAL AGENT AS BAILEE:	  	Except as otherwise provided in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent shall act as gratuitous bailee and agent for the benefit of the Additional First Lien Secured Parties with respect
to any Shared Collateral in the possession, control or otherwise requiring notation of the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent solely for the purpose of perfecting (or the equivalent under applicable foreign law) the security interest of such
Additional First Lien Secured Parties in such Shared Collateral. The duties or responsibilities of the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent as such gratuitous bailee and agent for perfection shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral as
gratuitous bailee for the benefit of any Additional First Lien Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Additional First Lien Secured Parties therein.

			
	PRIORITY OF CLAIMS:	  	If an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement or any Additional First Lien Document) has occurred and is continuing, and (x) the Controlling Collateral Agent (as defined below) or (subject to the terms of the First
Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) any First Lien Secured Party is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents, (y) any distribution is made in
respect of any Shared Collateral in any insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any grantor (including any adequate protection payments) or (z) any First Lien Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any other intercreditor agreement
(other than the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, then, in each case, the proceeds (i) of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral by any First Lien Secured Party,
(ii) of any distribution received by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party in any insolvency or liquidation proceedings case of any grantor with respect to such Shared Collateral (including any adequate protection
payments) (iii) and of any such payment to which the First Lien Obligations are entitled under any intercreditor agreement with respect to the Shared Collateral (other than the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) (all proceeds of any sale,
collection or other liquidation of any Shared Collateral and all proceeds of any such payment or distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), will be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment in full of all amounts then
due and owing to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent and each other collateral agent named in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement or any joinder agreement thereto (in its capacity as such) in connection with such collection or sale or
otherwise in connection with the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement or any other Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, to the payment in full of the First Lien Obligations then due and payable of each series secured by a valid and
perfected lien on such Shared Collateral on a ratable basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the First Lien Obligations then due and payable of a given series in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents; provided,
that following the commencement of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding with respect to the Borrower or any other grantor, solely as among the First Lien Secured Parties and solely for purposes of this clause SECOND and not
any    

			
		
		  	other Secured Credit Documents, in the event the value of the Shared Collateral is not sufficient for the entire amount of post-petition interest on the First Lien Obligations to be allowed under Section 506(a) and (b) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other bankruptcy law in such insolvency or liquidation proceeding, the amount of First Lien Obligations of each series of First Lien Obligations shall include only the
maximum amount of post-petition interest on the First Lien Obligations allowable under Section 506(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other bankruptcy law in such insolvency or
liquidation proceeding and (iii) THIRD, to the applicable Loan Parties or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
		
	CONTROLLING COLLATERAL AGENT:	  	Until the earlier of (x) the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations (to be defined in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) and (y) the Non-Controlling Authorized
Representative Enforcement Date (as defined below), the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent will be the Controlling Collateral Agent.
		
		  	From and after the earlier of (x) the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations and (y) the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date, the Additional First Lien
Collateral Agent (as defined below) will be the Controlling Collateral Agent.
		
		  	Pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement, only the Controlling Collateral Agent (acting upon the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative (as defined below)) will act or refrain from
acting with respect to any Shared Collateral. For so long as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is the Controlling Collateral Agent, no Additional First Lien Secured Party will or will instruct any collateral agent to, and neither the Additional
First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other collateral agent that is not the Controlling Collateral Agent will, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar
official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take
any

			
		  	other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing each series of First Lien Obligations, the Controlling Collateral Agent may deal with the Shared Collateral
as if such Controlling Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (as defined below) or Non-Controlling Secured
Party (to be defined in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or the Controlling
Secured Party (to be defined in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) or any other exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or the Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating
to the Shared Collateral, or to cause the Controlling Collateral Agent to do so.
		
		  	The “Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date” means, with respect to any Non-Controlling Authorized
Representative (as defined below), the date which is 180 days (throughout which 180 day period such Non-Controlling Authorized Representative was the Major
Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (as defined below)) after the occurrence of both (i) an Event of Default (under and as defined in the Additional First Lien Document under which such Non-Controlling Authorized Representative is the Authorized Representative) and (ii) each collateral agent’s and each other Authorized Representative’s receipt of written notice from such Non-Controlling Authorized Representative certifying that (x) such Non-Controlling Authorized Representative is the Major
Non-Controlling Authorized Representative and that an Event of Default (under and as defined in the Additional First Lien Document under which such Non-Controlling
Authorized Representative is the Authorized Representative) has occurred and is continuing, (y) the Additional First Lien Obligations of the series with respect to which such Non-Controlling Authorized
Representative is the Authorized Representative are currently due and payable in full (whether as a result of acceleration thereof or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Additional First Lien Document, and (z) such Non-Controlling Authorized Representative intends to exercise its rights and remedies in accordance with the terms of the applicable Additional First

			
		 	Lien Documents as a result of the series of Additional First Lien Obligations of such Non-Controlling Authorized Representative being due and payable in full (as a result of acceleration or
otherwise); provided that the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date shall be stayed and shall not occur and shall be deemed not to have occurred with respect to any Shared
Collateral at any time the Controlling Collateral Agent has commenced and is diligently pursuing (or shall have sought or requested relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any insolvency proceeding to enable the
commencement or pursuit thereof) the enforcement or exercise of any of its rights or remedies with respect to any material portion of the Shared Collateral or at any time any grantor or loan party is then a debtor under or with respect to any
insolvency or liquidation proceeding.
		
		 	“Applicable Authorized Representative” means, with respect to any Shared Collateral, (i) until the earlier of (x) the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations and (y) the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date, the Administrative Agent and (ii) from and after the earlier of (x) the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations and (y) the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date, the Major Non-Controlling Authorized Representative.
		
		 	“Additional First Lien Collateral Agent” means (x) for so long as the Initial Additional First Lien Obligations (to be defined in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) are the only series of Additional
First Lien Obligations, the collateral agent for the Initial Additional First Lien Obligations represented by the Initial Additional Authorized Representative (to be defined in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) and (y) if (x) does
not apply, the collateral agent for the series of First Lien Obligations represented by the Major Non-Controlling Authorized Representative.
		
		 	“Major Non-Controlling Authorized Representative” means, with respect to any Shared Collateral, the Authorized Representative of the series of Additional First Lien
Obligations that constitutes the largest outstanding principal amount of any then outstanding series of First Lien Obligations with respect to such Shared Collateral.

			
		  	“Non-Controlling Authorized Representative” means, at any time with respect to any Shared Collateral, any Authorized Representative that is not the Applicable Authorized
Representative at such time with respect to such Shared Collateral.
		
	PROHIBITION ON CONTESTING LIENS:	  	Each of the First Lien Secured Parties will not contest, or support any other person in contesting, the priority, validity, enforceability, perfection or protection of a lien on Shared Collateral held by or on behalf of any of the
First Lien Secured Parties.
		
	TURNOVER OF PROCEEDS:	  	If any First Lien Secured Party obtains possession of any Shared Collateral or realizes any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral other than pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Parity Intercreditor
Agreement, then it will hold such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other First Lien Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Controlling Collateral Agent, to
be distributed in accordance with the “Priority of Claims” provision above.
		
	LIEN AND GUARANTEE RELEASES:	  	If, at any time the Controlling Collateral Agent forecloses upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement resulting in a sale or
disposition thereof, then the Liens in favor of any other collateral agent for the benefit of each series of First Lien Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent,
such Liens of the Controlling Collateral Agent on such Shared Collateral are released and discharged; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom will be applied in accordance with the “Priority of Claims”
provision above. If in connection with any such foreclosure or other exercise of remedies the Controlling Collateral Agent releases any guarantor from its obligations under a guarantee of the First Lien Obligations for which it serves as agent, then
such guarantor will also be released from its guarantee of all other First Lien Obligations. Each Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative will (at the Borrower’s sole expense) execute and deliver such documents as the Controlling
Collateral Agent (or Borrowers) may reasonably request to evidence and confirm any release of Liens on Shared Collateral in connection with the foregoing.

			
		
	AMENDMENTS OF ANY FIRST LIEN OBLIGATIONS:	  	The First Lien Obligations of any series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured,
repaid, refunded, refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth above in “Priority of Claims” or the provisions of the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement otherwise
defining the relative rights of the First Lien Secured Parties of any series.
		
	DIP FINANCING AND USE OF CASH COLLATERAL:	  	If in connection with any insolvency proceeding of any grantor, a grantor, as debtor(s)-in-possession, moves for approval of financing (“DIP
Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders or a third party (the “DIP Lenders”) or the use of cash collateral, no First Lien Secured Party (other than any Controlling Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative
of any Controlling Collateral Agent) will raise any objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared
Collateral, unless the Applicable Authorized Representative will then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on
any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties (to be defined in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement), each Non- Controlling Secured Party (to be defined in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement) will
subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and
(ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each
Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First Lien Secured Parties of each series retain the
benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority
vis-à-vis all the other First Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First Lien

			
		  	Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) and subject to a customary carve-out or other carve-out approved by the Controlling Collateral Agent
as existed prior to the commencement of the applicable insolvency proceeding, (B) the First Lien Secured Parties of each series are granted Liens on any additional or replacement collateral pledged to any First Lien Secured Parties as adequate
protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the First Lien Secured Parties (other
than any Liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as set forth in the First Lien Parity Intercreditor Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First
Lien Obligations, such amount is applied in accordance with “Priority of Claims” above, and (D) if any First Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP
Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied in accordance with “Priority of Claims” above; provided that the First Lien Secured Parties of each series will have a right to object to the grant
of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties of such series or its Authorized Representative that will not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the First
Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection will not object to any other First Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP
Financing or use of cash collateral. If any First Lien Secured Party is granted adequate protection (A) in the form of Liens on any additional or replacement collateral, then each other First Lien Secured Party will be entitled to seek, and
each First Lien Secured Party will consent and not object to, adequate protection in the form of Liens on such additional or replacement collateral with the same priority
vis-à-vis the First Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as set forth in the First Lien
Parity Intercreditor Agreement, (B) in the form of a superpriority or other administrative claim, then each other First Lien Secured Party will be entitled to seek, and each First Lien Secured Party will consent and not object to, adequate
protection in the form of a pari passu superpriority or administrative claim or (C) in the form of periodic or other cash payments, then the proceeds of such adequate protection must be applied to all First Lien Obligations in accordance
with “Priority of Claims” above.
