demands, orders or disputes challenging the ownership, use, validity, enforceability of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Material Intellectual Property of such Grantor, except to the extent the same could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To such Grantor’s knowledge, no Person has been or is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, violating or otherwise impairing any Intellectual Property of such Grantor, except to the extent the same could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Grantor, and to such Grantor’s knowledge each other party thereto, is not in breach or default of any material IP License, except to the extent the same could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.7 Commercial Tort Claims. The only commercial tort claims of any
Grantor existing on the date hereof (regardless of whether the amount, defendant or other material facts can be determined and regardless of whether such commercial tort claim has been asserted, threatened or has otherwise been made known to the
obligee thereof or whether litigation has been commenced for such claims) are those listed on Schedule E to the Disclosure Letter, which sets forth such commercial tort claims to the extent the damages being sought exceed $100,000 in the
aggregate for all such commercial tort claims of all Grantors and which sets forth such information separately for each Grantor. 

Section 3.8 Enforcement. No Permit, notice to or filing with any Governmental Authority or any other Person or any consent from
any Person is required for the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights (including voting rights) provided for in this Agreement or the enforcement of remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, including the transfer of
any Collateral, except as may be required in connection with the disposition of any portion of the Pledged Debt Instruments or Pledged Investment Property by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally or any approvals that may be
required to be obtained from any bailees or landlords to collect the Collateral. 
 Section 3.9 Extraordinary
Transactions. Except for those purchases, acquisitions and other transactions described in Schedule F of the Disclosure Letter, or with respect to property having an aggregate fair market value not exceeding $5.0 million, for the last
five years all of the Collateral has been originated by each Grantor in the ordinary course of business or consists of goods which have been acquired by such Grantor in the ordinary course of business from a person in the business of selling goods

ARTICLE V 

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 

Section 5.1 Code and Other Remedies. (a) UCC Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the UCC or any other applicable law. 
 (b) Disposition of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Collateral Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of
which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located, without any
obligation to pay rent, through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on the Collateral Agent’s claim or action,
(ii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral and (iii) sell, assign, convey, transfer, grant option or options to purchase and deliver any Collateral (enter into Contractual Obligations to do any of the foregoing), in
one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on
credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable Requirements of Law, upon any such
private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. 

(c) Management of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at
the Collateral Agent’s request, it shall assemble the Col-
  

 -13- 

 
lateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting
the foregoing, the Collateral Agent also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Collateral Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance
services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until the Collateral Agent is able to sell, assign, convey or transfer any Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent and (iv) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with
respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Except as required under the UCC, the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against
third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Collateral Agent. 
 (d)
Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall apply the cash proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every
kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in the Indenture, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any Requirement of Law, need
the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. 
 (e) Direct Obligation. Neither the Collateral
Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right
or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party under the Note Documents shall be cumulative, may be exercised
individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Requirement of Law. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and
covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of
the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other
disposition. 
 (f) Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on the
Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to do any of the following: 

 

 -14- 

 (i) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities
reasonably deemed as such by the Collateral Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; 

(ii) fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to sell or for the collection or sale of any
Collateral, or, if not required by other Requirements of Law, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral; 

(iii) fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens
on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral; 
 (iv) advertise dispositions of any
Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any
such Collateral; 
 (v) exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any
Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or,
to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize
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 to dispose of any Collateral; 

(vi) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; 

(vii) disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or 

(viii) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral. 

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 5.1 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are
commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section 5.1. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted
or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section 5.1. 
  

 -15- 

 (g) IP Licenses. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights
and remedies under this Section 5.1 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such
time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in
which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use,
operate and occupy all real Property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor. 
 Section 5.2
Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles. (a) If required by the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of accounts or payment in respect of general intangibles, when
collected by any Grantor, shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor into an account over which a First Lien Collateral Agent has
control. 
 (b) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) each Grantor shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s request, deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other
documents evidencing, and relating to, the Contractual Obligations and transactions that gave rise to any account or any payment in respect of general intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts and notify account
debtors that the accounts or general intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent; 

(ii) the Collateral Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or
terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its accounts or amounts due under general intangibles or any thereof and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with account debtors to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s
satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or amounts due under any general intangible. In addition, the Collateral Agent may at any time enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general
intangibles; and 
 (iii) each Grantor shall take all actions, deliver all documents and provide all information
necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to ensure any Internet Domain Name is registered. 
 (c) Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each account and each payment in respect of general intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder,
all in accor-
  

 -16- 

 
dance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a
general intangible by reason of or arising out of any of the Note Documents or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or
pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any
performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 Section 5.3 Pledged Debt Instruments. (a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the
Collateral Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, the Collateral Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, or other right pertaining to the Pledged Debt Instruments at any meeting of investor, creditors or lenders, as the
case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Debt Instruments or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Debt Instruments as if it were
the absolute owner thereof (including the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Debt Instruments with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may
determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 
 (b) Authorization of Grantors. Each Grantor hereby
expressly irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each issuer of any Pledged Debt Instrument pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the
Collateral Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so
complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, by any of the Note Documents, pay any distribution or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged Debt Instrument directly to the Collateral Agent. 

Section 5.4 Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Collateral Agent. At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default,
all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall,
promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement). 

Section 5.5 Sale of Pledged Debt Instruments. (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a
public sale of any Pledged Debt Instruments by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Laws and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not
commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or resale 
  

 -17- 

 
thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such
circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Debt Instruments for the period of time
necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Laws or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to do so. 

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or
sales of any portion of the Pledged Investment Property pursuant to Section 5.1 and this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of
any covenant contained herein will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and 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 herein shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a
defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Indenture. Each Grantor waives any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral by Collateral Agent. 

Section 5.6 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of
any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency. 

ARTICLE VI

acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
 Section
6.4 Duty; Obligations and Liabilities. (a) Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal
with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Related Parties shall be
responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or
responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by the
Collateral Agent in good faith.

Related Party thereof shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any

Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder shall
not impose any duty upon any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 (c) Additional Rights of the Collateral Agent. In acting under and by virtue of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent
shall have all of the rights, protections and immunities given to the Trustee under the Indenture, all of which inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder and are incorporated by reference herein mutatis mutandis. 

Section 6.5 Reinstatement. Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is
at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such
Person, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing
such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (a) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been
released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and
such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of
such payment. 
 Section 6.6 Release of Collateral. All Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby and
this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and
all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors, in each case upon the Discharge of Obligations. In addition, the Collateral shall be released, in whole or in part, as provided in the Indenture. Each Grantor is hereby authorized to file
UCC amendments at such time evidencing the termination of the Liens so released. At the request of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the Collateral
Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 

Section 6.7 Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured
Obligations and any Subsidiary Guarantee. If any Secured Obligation or Guarantee is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor
and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation then 
  

 -21- 

 
due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor in any proceeding. 

Section 6.8 No Waiver by Course of Conduct. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to
Section 6.9), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. 

Section 6.9 Amendments, Waivers in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified except in accordance with Article IX of the Indenture; provided, however, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through
Pledge Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Exhibit I and Exhibit II, respectively, in each case duly executed by the Collateral Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby. 

Section 6.10 Additional Grantors; Additional Pledged Investment Property. (a) Joinder Agreements. If, at the option of
the Company or as required pursuant to Section 3.10 of the Indenture, the Company shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Joinder
Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit II and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date. 

(b) Pledge Amendments. To the extent any Pledged Debt Instrument has not been delivered as of the date hereof, such Grantor shall
deliver a pledge amendment duly executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Exhibit I (each, a “Pledge Amendment”). Such Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement.

 Section 6.11 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall
be effected in the manner provided for in Section 12.1 of the Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Company’s notice address set forth in
such Section 12.1. 
 Section 6.12 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Secured Party and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that, except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, no Grantor may assign, transfer or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. 

Section 6.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties 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 
  

 -22- 

 
agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile
transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 Section 6.14 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such
provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 6.15 Governing Law Jurisdiction, Etc. 

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE GRANTORS IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMIT, FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR
PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER COLLATERAL DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO 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 COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE 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 OR IN ANY OTHER COLLATERAL DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY
GRANTOR MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER COLLATERAL DOCUMENT AGAINST THE ISSUER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE GRANTORS IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
OBJECTION THAT THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER COLLATERAL DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF

the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder and the obligations of the Grantors hereunder, in each case, with respect to the Collateral are subject to the limitations and
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Collateral, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and
control.

SECTION 2.02.        Impairments. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
Secured Parties of any given Class (and not the Secured Parties of any other Class) bear the risk of (a) any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (i) any First Lien Obligations of such Class are unenforceable under
applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than to any First Lien Obligations), (ii) any First Lien Obligations of such Class do not have a valid and perfected Lien on any of the Collateral securing any First Lien
Obligations of any other Class and/or (iii) any Person (other than any Collateral Agent or Secured Party) has a Lien on any Shared Collateral that is senior in priority to the Lien on such Shared Collateral securing First Lien Obligations of
such Class, but junior to the Lien on such Shared Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations of any other Class (any such Lien being referred to as an “Intervening Lien”, and any such Person being referred to as an
“Intervening Creditor”), or (b) the existence of any Collateral securing First Lien Obligations of any other Class that does not constitute Shared Collateral with respect to First Lien Obligations of such Class (any condition
referred to in clause (a) or (b) with respect to First Lien Obligations of such Class being referred to as an “Impairment” of such Class). In the event an Impairment exists with respect to First Lien Obligations of any
Class, the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the Secured Parties of such Class, and the rights of the Secured Parties of such Class (including the right to receive distributions in respect of First Lien Obligations of such Class

Obligations of any Class shall be subject to an Impairment in the form of an Intervening Lien of any Intervening Creditor, the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted solely from

Related Secured Parties, agrees that if such Collateral Agent or any of its Related Secured Parties shall at any time obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or receive any Proceeds (other than as a result of any application of Proceeds pursuant
to Section 2.01(b)), (i) such Collateral Agent or its Related Secured Party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform each Collateral Agent thereof, (ii) such Collateral Agent or its Related Secured Party shall hold such Shared
Collateral or Proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties of any Class entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and, with respect to any Shared Collateral constituting Controlled Shared Collateral, such Collateral Agent shall
comply with the provisions of Section 4.01 and (iii) in the case of any such Proceeds, such Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.01(b) as promptly as practicable. 

SECTION 2.04.        Determinations with Respect to Amounts of Obligations and Liens.
Whenever the Collateral Agent of any Class 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 First Lien Obligations of any other Class, or
the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First Lien Obligations of any other Class (and whether such Lien constitutes a valid and perfected 

 

 -9- 

 
Lien), it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the Collateral Agent of such other Class and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the
information so furnished; provided that if, notwithstanding the request of the Collateral Agent of such Class, the Collateral Agent of such other Class shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the
Collateral Agent of such Class 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 an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. Each
Collateral Agent 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 any Grantor, any Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination or any action taken or not taken pursuant thereto.

agrees, on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties, that neither such Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Secured Parties will attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the

Collateral Agent, or of agents or bailees of such Collateral Agent (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Controlled Shared Collateral”), such Collateral Agent shall, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens
of any other Collateral Agent granted on such Shared Collateral under its Related Secured Credit Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article, also hold such Controlled Shared Collateral as gratuitous bailee and sub-agent for
each such other Collateral Agent (any Collateral Agent that shall be holding any Controlled Shared Collateral as gratuitous bailee and sub-agent being referred to herein as the “Bailee Collateral Agent”). In furtherance of the
foregoing, each Collateral Agent appoints each Bailee Collateral Agent as such Collateral Agent’s gratuitous bailee and sub-agent hereunder with respect to any Controlled Shared Collateral that such Bailee Collateral Agent possesses or controls

outstanding at such time) and (ii) if no First Lien Obligations are outstanding at such time, to the applicable Grantor or as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, in each case so as to allow such Person to obtain possession and
control of such Controlled Shared Collateral. In connection with any transfer under clause (i) above by any Bailee Collateral Agent, such Bailee Collateral Agent agrees to take all actions in its power as shall be reasonably requested by the
transferee Collateral Agent to permit the transferee Collateral Agent to obtain, for the benefit of its Related Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in the applicable Controlled Shared Collateral.

provided that nothing in this paragraph shall affect any limitation on any such Refinancing that is set forth in the Secured Credit Documents of any such other Class; and provided further that, if any obligations of the Grantors in
respect of such Refinancing indebtedness shall be secured by Liens on any Shared Collateral, such obligations and the holders thereof shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement. 

SECTION 5.03.        Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the First Lien Obligations of any Class previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code,
or any similar law), then the terms and conditions of Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all the First Lien Obligations of such Class shall again have been paid in full in cash. 

SECTION 5.04.        Reorganization Modifications. In the event the First Lien
Obligations of any Class are modified pursuant to applicable law, including Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, any reference to the First Lien Obligations of such Class or the Secured Credit Documents of such Class shall refer to such
obligations or such documents as so modified. 
 SECTION 5.05.        Further
Assurances. Each of the Collateral Agents and the Grantors agrees that it will execute, or will cause to be executed, any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions, as may be required under any
applicable law, or which any Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to effectuate the terms of this Agreement.

 ARTICLE VI. 

No Reliance; No Liability 

SECTION 6.01.        No Reliance; Information. Each Collateral Agent, for itself and
on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges that (a) such Collateral Agent and its Related Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance upon any other Collateral Agent or any of its Related Secured Parties, and based on
such documents and information as they have deemed appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Secured Credit Documents to which they are party and (b) such Collateral Agent and its Related Secured Parties will,
independently and without reliance upon any other Collateral Agent or any of its Related Secured Parties, and based on such documents and information as they shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make their own credit decision in
taking or not taking any action under this Agreement or any other Secured Credit Document to which they are party. The Collateral Agent or Secured Parties of any Class shall have no duty to disclose to any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of
any other Class any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any other circumstance bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the First Lien Obligations, that is known or becomes known to any of them or any of their
Affiliates. If the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any Class, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any other
Class, it shall be under no obligation (i) to make, and shall not be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of the information so
provided, (ii) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any sub-sequent occasion or (iii) to undertake any investigation. 

SECTION 6.02.        No Warranties or Liability. 

(a)        Each Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties,
acknowledges and agrees that no Collateral Agent or Secured Party of any other Class has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or
enforceability of any of the Secured Credit Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties of any Class will be entitled to manage and supervise
their loans and other extensions of credit in the manner determined by them. 

(b)        No Collateral Agent or Secured Parties of any Class shall have any express or implied
duty to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any other Class to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of a default or an Event of Default under any Secured Credit Document (other
than, in each case, this Agreement), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with.

 ARTICLE VII. 

Additional First Lien Obligations 

The Borrower may from time to time, subject to any limitations contained in any Secured Credit Documents in effect at such time,
designate additional indebtedness and related obligations that are, or are to be, secured by Liens on any assets of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that would, if such Liens were granted, constitute Shared Collateral as Additional First Lien
Obligations by delivering to each Collateral Agent party hereto at such time a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower: 

(a)        describing the indebtedness and other obligations being designated as Additional
First Lien Obligations, and including a statement of the maximum aggregate outstanding principal amount of such indebtedness as of the date of such certificate; 

(b)        setting for the Additional First Lien Obligations Documents under which such
Additional First Lien Obligations are issued or incurred or the Guarantees of or Liens securing such Additional First Lien Obligations are, or are to be, granted or created, and attached copies of such Additional First Lien Obligations Documents as
each Grantor has executed and delivered to the Person that serves as the collateral agent, collateral trustee or a similar representative for the holders of such Additional First Lien Obligations (such Person being referred to as the
“Additional Collateral Agent”) with respect to such Additional First Lien Obligations on the closing date of such Additional First Lien Obligations, certified as being true and complete by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower;

 (c)        identifying the Person that serves as the Additional Collateral Agent;

 (d)        certifying that the incurrence of such Additional First Lien Obligations,
the creation of the Liens securing such Additional First Lien Obligations and the designation of such Additional First Lien Obligations as “Additional First Lien Obligations” hereunder do not violate or result in a default under any
provision of any Secured Credit Document of any Class in effect at such time; 

(e)        certifying that the Additional First Lien Obligations Documents (A) meet the
requirements of Section 5.01(b) and (B) authorize the Additional Collateral Agent to become a party hereto by executing and delivering a Collateral Agent Joinder Agreement and provide that upon such execution and delivery, such Additional
First Lien Obligations and the holders thereof shall become subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement; and 

(f)        attaching a fully completed Collateral Agent Joinder Agreement executed and delivered
by the Additional Collateral Agent. 
 Upon the delivery of such certificate and the related attachments as provided above, the obligations
designated in such notice shall become Additional First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement.

Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 
 (a)        This Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 

(b)        Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, 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 party 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 or any Secured Party may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any party hereto or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c)        Each party hereto 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 court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.
Each party hereto 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 irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided

(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO 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. 

 

 -19- 

 SECTION 8.09.        Headings. Article
and Section 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. 

SECTION 8.10.        Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between
the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any other Secured Credit Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 

SECTION 8.11.        Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of
this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Secured Parties in relation to one another. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Borrower, any other Grantor, any other
Subsidiary or any other creditor of any of the fore-going shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, and none of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Subsidiary may rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or
shall impair the obligations of the Borrower or any other Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the First Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. 

SECTION 8.12.        Additional Grantors. In the event any Subsidiary shall have
granted a Lien on any of its assets to secure any First Lien Obligations, the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary, if not already a party hereto, to become a party hereto as a “Grantor”. Upon the execution and delivery by any Subsidiary
of a Grantor Joinder Agreement, any such Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as such herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the
consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereto shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement. 

SECTION 8.13.        Specific Performance. Each Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself
and its Related Secured Parties, may demand specific performance of this Agreement. Each Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any
other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the Secured Parties. 

SECTION 8.14.        Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Secured
Credit Documents, represents the agreement of each of the Grantors and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor, any Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Credit Documents.

B.        The Borrower proposes to issue or incur Additional First Lien Obligations and the
Person identified in the signature pages hereto as the “Additional Collateral Agent” (the “Additional Collateral Agent”) will serve as the collateral agent, collateral trustee or a similar representative for the Additional
Secured Parties. The Additional First Lien Obligations are being designated as such by the Borrower in accordance with Article VII of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

C.        The Additional Collateral Agent wishes to become a party to the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement and to acquire and undertake, for itself and on behalf of the Additional Secured Parties, the rights and obligations of an “Additional Collateral Agent” thereunder. The Additional Collateral Agent is entering into
this Joinder Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in order to become an Additional Collateral Agent thereunder. 

Accordingly, the Additional Collateral Agent and the Borrower agree as follows, for the benefit of the Additional Collateral Agent, the
Borrower and each other party to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement:

Additional Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the Collateral Agents and the Secured Parties that (a) it has full power and authority to enter into this Joinder Agreement, in its capacity as the Additional Collateral Agent,
(b) this Joinder Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of this Joinder Agreement and (c) the Additional
First Lien Obligations Documents relating to such Additional First Lien Obligations provide that, 
  

 Ex. I-1

provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement as Additional Secured Parties. 

SECTION 3.    Counterparts. This Joinder Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Joinder Agreement shall become effective when each Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Joinder Agreement that
bears the signature of the Additional Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Joinder
Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.    Benefit of Agreement. The agreements set forth herein or
undertaken pursuant hereto are for the benefit of, and may be enforced by, any party to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

SECTION 5.    Governing Law. THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 6.    Severability. In case any one or
more of the provisions contained in this Joinder Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, none of the parties hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto 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. 

SECTION 7.    Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 8.01 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the Additional Collateral Agent shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature hereto, which information supplements
Section 8.01 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

20[    ] (the “Joinder Agreement”) to the FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT dated as of February 11, 2010 (the “First Lien Intercreditor Agreement”), among THE McCLATCHY COMPANY, a Delaware

COLLATERAL AGENT from time to time party thereto and [                    ], a
[                    ], as an additional GRANTOR. 

A.        Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

B.        [            ], a
Subsidiary of the Borrower (the “Additional Grantor”), has granted a Lien on all or a portion of its assets to secure First Lien Obligations and such Additional Grantor is not a party to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

 C.        The Additional Grantor wishes to become a party to the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement and to acquire and undertake the rights and obligations of a Grantor thereunder. The Additional Grantor is entering into this Joinder Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in
order to become a Grantor thereunder. 
 Accordingly, the Additional Grantor agrees as follows, for the benefit of the
Collateral Agents, the Borrower and each other party to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement: 

SECTION 1.    Accession to the Intercreditor Agreement. In accordance with Section 8.12 of the First
Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Additional Grantor (a) hereby accedes and becomes a party to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement as a Grantor with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor, (b) agrees to
all the terms and provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (c) shall have all the rights and obligations of a Grantor under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

SECTION 2.    Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgement of the Additional Grantor. The Additional
Grantor represents and warrants to each Collateral Agent and each Secured Party that this Additional Joinder has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Additional Grantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, 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 3.    Counterparts. This Joinder
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Joinder Agreement shall become effective when each Collateral Agent shall
have received a counterpart of this Joinder Agreement that bears the signature of the 
  

 Ex. II-1 

 
Additional Grantor. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart
of this Joinder Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.    Benefit of Agreement. The agreements set forth
herein or undertaken pursuant hereto are for the benefit of, and may be enforced by, any party to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

SECTION 5.    Governing Law. THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 6.    Severability. In case any one or
more of the provisions contained in this Joinder Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, none of the parties hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto 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. 

SECTION 7.    Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 8.01 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.    The Additional Grantor
agrees to reimburse each Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Joinder Agreement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for each Collateral Agent.
