 4. Payments Held in Trust. 
  
 Each Subordinating Creditor and the Collateral Agent will hold in trust and
immediately pay over to the Agent for the account of the Lenders and the Agent, in the same form of payment received, with appropriate endorsements, for application (a) to the Senior Debt, any cash amount that any Company pays to such Subordinating
Creditor or the Collateral Agent (in the case of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, to the extent such cash has not been turned over to the Holders) on account of the Subordinated Debt, or (b) as collateral for the Senior Debt, any other assets of
the Borrower or any other Company that such Subordinating Creditor or the Collateral Agent (in the case of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, to the extent such assets have not been turned over to the Holders) may receive on account of the
Subordinated Debt or, for purposes of this clause (b), on account of Trustee Claims to the extent such assets constitute Collateral. 
  
 5. Defense to Enforcement. If the Collateral Agent or any Subordinating Creditor, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement,
shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding against the Borrower, then the Borrower may interpose as a defense or plea the making of this Agreement, and the Agent or any Lender may intervene and interpose such defense
or plea in its name or in the name of the Borrower. If the Collateral Agent or any Subordinating Creditor, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, shall attempt to collect any of the Subordinated Debt or Trustee Claims, as the case may be,
or enforce any of the Subordinated Documents in respect of the Subordinated Debt or Trustee Claims, as the case may be, then the Agent, any Lender or the Borrower may, by virtue of this Agreement, restrain the enforcement thereof in the name of the
Agent or such Lender or in the name of the Borrower. If the Collateral Agent or any Subordinating Creditor, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, obtains on account of the Subordinated Debt or Trustee Claims, as the case may be, any cash
or other assets of the Borrower or any Company as a result of any administrative, 

  

 -7- 

 
legal or equitable actions, or otherwise, the Collateral Agent or such Subordinating Creditor (in the case of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, to the
extent such cash or other asset have not been turned over to the Holders), agrees forthwith to pay, deliver and assign to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders and the Agent, with appropriate endorsements, any such cash for application to the
Senior Debt and any such other assets as collateral for the Senior Debt. 
  
 6. Bankruptcy, etc. 
  
 6.1. Payments relating to Subordinated Debt. At any meeting of creditors of the Borrower or in the event of any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, for the distribution, division or application
of all or part of the assets of the Borrower or the proceeds thereof, whether such case or proceeding be for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower or its business, a receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or a proceeding by or against the Borrower for relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or any other law relating to the relief of debtors,
readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension or marshalling of assets or otherwise, the Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized at any such meeting or in any such proceeding to receive or collect for the benefit
of the Lenders and the Agent any cash or other assets of the Borrower distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment on account of any Subordinated Debt, or any securities issued on account of any Subordinated Debt (and, if such cash,
other assets or securities are paid, distributed or issued from Collateral, Subordinated Debt shall also include Trustee Claims), and apply such cash to or to hold such other assets or securities as collateral for the Senior Debt, and to apply to
the Senior Debt any cash proceeds of any realization upon such other assets or securities that the Agent in its discretion elects to effect, until all of the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash, rendering to the Collateral Agent and the
Subordinating Creditors any surplus to which the Collateral Agent and the Subordinating Creditors are then entitled. 
  
 6.2. Securities by Plan of Reorganization or Readjustment.  
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of §6.1, the Collateral Agent and the Subordinating Creditors
shall be entitled to receive and retain any securities of the Borrower or any other corporation or other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment (i) the payment of which securities is subordinate, at least to the extent
provided in this Agreement with respect to Subordinated Debt, to the payment of all Senior Debt under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment and (ii) all other terms of which are reasonably acceptable to the Lenders and the Agent.

  
 6.3. Subordinated Debt Voting
Rights. At any such meeting of creditors or in the event of any such case or proceeding, the Collateral Agent and 

  

 -8- 

 
the Subordinating Creditors shall retain the right to vote and otherwise act with respect to the Subordinated Debt and Trustee Claims (including, without
limitation, the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension), provided that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Subordinating Creditors shall
vote with respect to any such plan or take any other action in any way so as to contest (i) the validity of any Senior Debt or any collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, (ii) the relative rights and duties of any holders of any Senior Debt
established in any instruments or agreements creating or evidencing any of the Senior Debt with respect to any of such collateral or guaranties or (iii) the Collateral Agent’s and Subordinating Creditors’ obligations and agreements set
forth in this Agreement. 
  
 6.4.
Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Except as otherwise specifically permitted in this Agreement, until the Senior Debt shall have been finally paid in full in cash, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Subordinating Creditor shall
assert, without the prior written consent of the Agent, any claim, motion, objection or argument in respect of all or any part of the Senior Debt or the Collateral securing such Senior Debt in such case or proceeding which could otherwise be
asserted or raised in connection with such case or proceeding by the Collateral Agent or such Subordinating Creditor as a secured creditor of the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent and each Subordinating
Creditor agrees that it will (i) not object to or oppose (or support any other Person in objecting to or opposing) any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral free and clear of Liens or other claims of the Collateral Agent and
the Subordinating Creditors in respect of the Subordinated Debt or Trustee Claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other law applicable to such case or proceeding if the relevant Lenders
have consented to such sale or disposition, (ii) not challenge (or support any other Person in challenging) any use of cash collateral or debtor-in-possession financing consented to or provided by any Lender (it being agreed by the Collateral Agent
and each Subordinating Creditor that such debtor-in-possession financing shall be on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as such Lenders, in their sole discretion, may decide and, in connection therewith, any Company may grant to such
participating Lenders (or any agent or representative thereof) Liens upon all of the Collateral of such Company, which Liens (A) shall secure payment of all Senior Debt whether such Senior Debt arose prior to the commencement of such case or
proceeding or at any time thereafter and all other financing provided by any Lender during such case or proceeding (provided that, to the extent that such Liens secure Senior Debt which arose prior to the commencement of such Proceeding, such Liens
shall also secure the Subordinated Debt and the Trustee Claims, subject to the conditions and terms set forth herein) and (B) shall be superior in priority to the liens and security interests, if any, in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Holders, and any other Subordinating Creditor on the Collateral of the Borrower on the same terms and conditions as provided herein); provided, however that in connection with any such use of cash collateral or
debtor-in-possession financing, 

  

 -9- 

 
the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, or such other Subordinating Creditor shall have received as adequate protection of their interests a
replacement Lien in post-petition assets of the Borrower which shall be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted pursuant to such consent to use cash collateral or debtor-in-possession financing with the same priorities afforded the Liens granted
to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, and the other Subordinating Creditors pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) not assert (or support any other Person in asserting) any right it may have to “adequate protection” of its
interest in any Collateral in any case or proceeding, (iv) turn over to the Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders any “adequate protection” of their interest in any Collateral with respect to the Subordinated Debt and Trustee
Claims that they receive in any case or Proceeding for application to the Senior Debt owed to the Lenders, and (v) not seek to have the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code lifted or modified with respect to any Collateral, to
appoint a trustee or examiner under Section 1104 of the Bankruptcy Code or to convert or dismiss (or support any other Person in converting or dismissing) such case or proceeding under Section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case without the
prior written consent of the Agent; provided, that, in the case of this clause (v), if the Lenders seek such aforementioned relief, the Collateral Agent and the Subordinating Creditors hereby irrevocably consent thereto and
shall join in any such motion or application seeking such relief if requested by the Agent. The Trustee, for each Holder, the Collateral Agent, for each Holder, and each other Subordinating Creditor each waives any claim it may now or hereafter have
arising out of the election of the Lenders, in any case or proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Subordinated Debt and the Trustee Claims. The Trustee (for
each Holder) or the Collateral Agent (for each Holder) and each other Subordinating Creditor shall be permitted to participate on any creditor’s committee; provided, that the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, such Subordinating
Creditor or any other Person participating on such creditor’s committee shall not directly or indirectly take any action or vote in any manner that would be in violation of this Agreement or inconsistent with or result in a breach of this
Agreement. Other than as explicitly set forth above, the Collateral Agent and each Subordinating Creditor shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other
pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Collateral Agent or such Subordinating Creditor, as applicable, including without limitation any claims secured by the Collateral, if any. In
addition, the Collateral Agent and each Subordinating Creditor shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Borrower arising under either the
Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law. 
  
 7.
Lien Subordination. The Liens on the Collateral securing the Senior Debt, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and any and all other documents and instruments evidencing or creating the

  

 -10- 

 
Senior Debt and all guaranties, mortgages, security agreements, pledges and other collateral guarantying or securing the Senior Debt or any part thereof
shall be senior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Subordinated Debt and the Liens on the Collateral securing the Trustee Claims and all of the Subordinated Documents irrespective of the time of the execution, delivery or issuance of any
thereof or the filing or recording for perfection of any thereof or the filing of any financing statement or continuation statement relating to any thereof. 
  
 7.1. Further Assurances. The Collateral Agent and each Subordinating Creditor hereby agrees, upon request of the Agent at
any time and from time to time, to execute such other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Agent further to evidence of public record or otherwise the senior priority of the Senior Debt as contemplated hereby. 

 
 7.2. Books and Records. The Collateral
Agent and each Subordinating Creditor further agrees to maintain on its books and records such notations as the Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination contemplated hereby and to perfect or preserve the rights of the Agent
hereunder. A copy of this Agreement may be filed as a financing statement in any Uniform Commercial Code recording office. 
  
 7.3. Legend. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11 hereof, the Borrower and each
Subordinating Creditor (other than the Trustee and the Collateral Agent) will cause to be clearly, conspicuously and prominently inserted on the face of each Subordinated Document, any guaranty of any Subordinated Debt and any other negotiable
Subordinated Debt Document (if any), as well as any renews or replacements thereof, the following legend in substantially the form hereof: 
  
 “This instrument and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby, the liens and security interests securing the indebtedness and
other obligations incurred or arising under or evidenced by this instrument and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby with respect to such liens are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in that certain Amended and Restated
Subordination Agreement (as the same may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Subordination Agreement”), dated as of January 14, 2005 among The Bank of New York, acting as trustee (the
“Trustee”) and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) to the holders of the “Securities” (as defined in the Indenture, dated as of January 14, 2005, among the Trustee and The Wet Seal, Inc.), S.A.C. CAPITAL
ASSOCIATES, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Anguila (“SAC”), and certain other holders of indebtedness identified on the signature pages thereto, THE WET SEAL, INC., a Delaware corporation, (the “Lead
Borrower”), and FLEET RETAIL GROUP, INC., acting as agent, to the indebtedness and the liens and security interests securing indebtedness 
  

 -11- 

 (including interest) owed by the Companies pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
dated as of September 22, 2004 (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) among the Lead Borrower, THE WET SEAL RETAIL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Wet Seal Retail”), WET SEAL CATALOG, INC., a Delaware corporation (collectively, with
Wet Seal Retail and the Lead Borrower, the “Companies”), WET SEAL GC, INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Facility Guarantor”), and FLEET RETAIL GROUP, INC. (“Agent”), Back Bay Capital Funding, LLC, as Term Lender, the
lenders from time to time party thereto and Fleet National Bank, as Issuing Lender, and certain guarantees of the indebtedness evidenced thereby, as such First Lien Credit Agreement and such guarantees have been and hereafter may be amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time as permitted under the Subordination Agreement and to the liens and security interests securing indebtedness refinancing the indebtedness under such agreements as permitted by the
Subordination Agreement; and each holder of this instrument, by its acceptance hereof, irrevocably agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Subordination Agreement applicable to the “Subordinating Creditors” (as such term is defined in
the Subordination Agreement), as if such holder were a Subordinating Creditor for all purposes of the Subordination Agreement.” 
  
 7.4. Release of Guaranties and Collateral. Without limiting any of the rights of the Agent or any Lender under the Credit
Agreement, the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or applicable law, in the event that, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to §11 hereof, the Agent releases or discharges any guaranties of the Senior Debt
given by guarantors which have also guarantied the Subordinated Debt and Trustee Claims or any security interests in, or mortgages or liens upon, any collateral securing the Senior Debt and also securing the Subordinated Debt and Trustee Claims,
such guarantors or (as the case may be) such collateral shall thereupon be deemed to have been released from all such guaranties or security interests, mortgages or liens in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Subordinating Creditors. The
Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Holder, and each other Subordinating Creditor each agrees that, concurrently with the release of any lien of the Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Subordinating Creditor will execute,
deliver and file any and all such termination statements, mortgage discharges, lien releases and other agreements and instruments as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate in order to give effect to the preceding sentence. The Trustee
and the Collateral Agent, in each case for and on behalf of itself and each Holder, and each other Subordinating Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent, and its successors and assigns, and their respective officers, with full power of
substitution, its true and lawful attorney(s) of the Collateral Agent and each Subordinating Creditor for the purpose of effecting any such executions, deliveries and filings if and to the extent the Collateral Agent or such Subordinating Creditor
shall have failed to perform such obligations pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this §7.4 within ten (10) days after receiving a written request therefor. 
  

 -12- 

 8. Lenders’ Freedom of Dealing. The Collateral Agent and each Subordinating Creditor
agrees, with respect to the Senior Debt and any and all collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, that the Companies and the Lenders may agree to increase the amount of the Senior Debt or otherwise modify the terms of any of the Senior Debt, and
the Lenders may grant extensions of the time of payment or performance to and make compromises, including releases of collateral or guaranties, and settlements with the Companies and all other persons, in each case without the consent of the
Collateral Agent, any Subordinating Creditor or the Companies and without affecting the agreements of the Collateral Agent or the Subordinating Creditors or the Borrower contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this §8 shall constitute a waiver of the right of the Borrower itself to agree or consent to a settlement or compromise of a claim which the Agent or any Lender may have against the Borrower. 
  
 9. Modification or Sale of the Subordinated Debt. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor any Subordinating Creditor will, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, modify any of the terms of any of the Subordinated Debt or any of the Subordinated Documents with respect to the Subordinated Debt; nor will any
Subordinating Creditor sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Subordinated Debt or Trustee Claims to any person other than a person who agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the Agent, to become a party hereto and to succeed to the rights and to bound by all of the obligations of such Subordinating Creditor hereunder. In the case of any such disposition by a Subordinating Creditor, such Subordinating Creditor will
notify the Agent at least 10 days prior to the date of any of such intended disposition. 
  
 10. Borrower’s Obligations Absolute. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, as among the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Subordinating Creditors, the obligation of the Borrower to
pay to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, in each case for and on behalf of itself and the Holders, and SAC, as applicable, for and on behalf of the Buyers, all amounts payable in respect of the Subordinated Debt, including Trustee Claims, as and
when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof, or prevent the Collateral Agent and the Subordinating Creditors (except as expressly otherwise provided in §3, §4, §5, §6 or §7) from
exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by Subordinated Documents and by applicable law upon a default in the payment of the Subordinated Debt, including Trustee Claims, or under any Subordinated Document, all, however,
subject to the rights of the Agent and the Lenders as set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 11. Termination of Subordination. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and the obligations and agreements of the Collateral Agent and the Subordinating Creditors and the Borrower
hereunder shall continue to be fully operative, until all of the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash. To the extent that any Company or any guarantor of or provider of collateral for the Senior Debt makes any 

  

 -13- 

 
payment on the Senior Debt that is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause (such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Voided Payment”), then to the extent of such
Voided Payment, that portion of the Senior Debt that had been previously satisfied by such Voided Payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such Voided Payment had never been made. In the event that a Voided Payment is
recovered from the Agent or any Lender, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have existed and to be continuing under the Credit Agreement from the date of the Agent’s or such Lender’s initial receipt of such Voided Payment until the full
amount of such Voided Payment is restored to the Agent or such Lender. During any continuance of any such Event of Default, this Agreement shall be in full force and effect with respect to the Subordinated Debt and Trustee Claims. To the extent that
(i) the Collateral Agent or any Subordinating Creditor has received any payments with respect to the Subordinated Debt or Trustee Claims subsequent to the date of the Agent’s or any Lender’s initial receipt of such Voided Payment and such
payments have not been invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, and
(ii) such payments would have been required to have been turned over to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or such Subordinating Creditor (in the case of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, to the extent such funds have not
been turned over to the Holders) shall be obligated and hereby agrees that any such payment so made or received shall be deemed to have been received in trust for the benefit of the Agent or such Lender, and the Collateral Agent and each
Subordinating Creditor (in the case of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, to the extent such funds have not been turned over to the Holders) hereby agrees to pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Agent or (as the case may be) such Lender, upon
demand, the full amount of such payment so received by the Collateral Agent or such Subordinating Creditor, as applicable, during such period of time to the extent necessary fully to restore to the Agent or such Lender the amount of such Voided
Payment. Upon the payment in full in cash of all of the Senior Debt, this Agreement will automatically terminate without any additional action by any party hereto.

INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS AND SHALL BE A SEALED INSTRUMENT UNDER SUCH LAWS. 
  
 14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF
ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT WHICH IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR

 15. Contractual Representative for Purposes of Perfection. Each Subordinating Creditor and the Collateral Agent hereby appoints the Agent as
such Person’s contractual representative solely for purposes of perfecting such Person’s Liens 
  

 -16- 

 
on any of the Collateral in the possession or under the “control” (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of the Agent, and the
Agent hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral as the contractual representative of the Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Holders, and each other Subordinating Creditor for such
purposes; provided, that, the Agent shall not have any duty or liability to protect or preserve any rights pertaining to any of the Collateral and, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable
order of a court of competent jurisdiction, each Subordinating Creditor and the Collateral Agent hereby waives and releases the Agent and each of the other Lenders from, and each Subordinating Creditor (other than the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent) hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Agent and each of the other Lenders against, all claims and liabilities arising as a result of or in connection with the Agent’s role as contractual representative agent with respect to

practicable, transfer control of the remainder of the Collateral, if any, under its control to the Collateral Agent, in each case, except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or court order (it being understood that prior to the payment in
full in cash of the Senior Debt, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all such documents and each other document relating to all or any part of the Collateral, including, without limitation, the provisions restricting any Subordinating
Creditor and the Collateral Agent from taking action to enforce rights in and to the Collateral pursuant to such documents). 
  
 16. Trustee and Collateral Agent.  
  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby expressly agreed and acknowledged that the subordination and other agreements and obligations of the Trustee and
Collateral Agent herein are made solely in its capacity as Trustee and Collateral Agent, respectively (and not in its individual capacity). Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties, obligations or responsibilities to the
Agent or any other Person under this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to operate as a waiver by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent of the benefit of any exculpatory provisions,
presumptions, indemnities, protections, benefits, immunities or reliance rights contained in the Indenture, all of which are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis. 

  

	 	(b)	Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The
Trustee and the Collateral Agent need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document. 

  

	 	(c)	 In no event shall the Trustee or the Collateral Agent be liable for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind 

  

 -17- 

 
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profit) even if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, respectively, had been advised of the likelihood of such
loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
  

	 	(d)	Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or
caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation: acts of Got, earthquakes, fire, floods, wars, civil or military disturbances, sabotage, epidemics, riots, terrorist acts, interruptions,
loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service, accidents, labor disputes, and acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions.

covenants and agrees that prior to appointment of any co-trustee as provided in Section 6.15 under the Indenture, the Trustee shall cause such co-trustee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as if such co-trustee were the
“Trustee” hereunder and to execute and deliver an accession to this Agreement evidencing such co-trustee’s agreement therewith in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 
  
 18. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to
produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against which enforcement is sought. The Agent, acting upon the instructions of the requisite Lenders, may, in their sole and absolute discretion, waive any provisions of this
Agreement benefiting the Agent and the Lenders; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the Agent and shall be limited to the specific provision or provisions expressly so waived. This
Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Subordinating Creditor, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, the Agent’s and the Lenders’ respective
successors and assigns, any lender or lenders refunding or refinancing any of the Senior Debt and their respective successors and assigns, but shall not otherwise create any rights or benefits for any third party. In the event that any lender or
lenders refund or refinance any of the Senior Debt, the terms “Credit Agreement”, “Loan Documents”, “Event of Default” and the like shall refer mutatis mutandis to the agreements and instruments in favor
of such lender or lenders and to the related definitions contained therein.
