and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, all as contemplated therein (the Lenders, each Letter of Credit Issuer, the Documentation Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent are herein called the “Lender Creditors”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements with one or more Lenders or any affiliate thereof (each such Lender or

Creditors”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Borrower, as issuer, and
the other Assignors (other than Holdings), as guarantors, have heretofore entered into the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture (as defined below) with the trustee thereunder (in such capacity, together with any successor trustee,
the “Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture Trustee”), providing for the issuance of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes by the Borrower (with the holders from time to time of such Existing Senior

Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements with the Borrower; 
  
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits accruing to each Assignor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Assignor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Creditors (as defined below) and hereby covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as follows:

assignment, transfer, grant or pledge of 

  

 2 

 
Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral by any Assignor), each Assignor does hereby assign and transfer unto the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Creditors (excluding the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor in the case of any assignment, transfer, pledge or grant of Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral by any Assignor), and
does hereby pledge and grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (excluding the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor in the case of any assignment, transfer, pledge or grant of Excluded Existing Senior
Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral by any Assignor), a continuing security interest in all of the right, title and interest of such Assignor in, to and under all of the following personal property and fixtures (and all rights therein) of such
Assignor, or in which or to which such Assignor has any rights, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter from time to time acquired:

 (ii) all cash; 
  
 (iii) the Cash Collateral Account and all monies, securities, Instruments and other investments deposited or required to be deposited in
the Cash Collateral Account; 
  
 (iv) all Chattel
Paper (including, without limitation, all Tangible Chattel Paper and all Electronic Chattel Paper); 
  
 (v) all Commercial Tort Claims, including, without limitation, those set forth on Annex F hereto; 
  
 (vi) all computer programs of such Assignor and all
intellectual property rights therein and all other proprietary information of such Assignor, including but not limited to Domain Names and Trade Secret Rights; 
  

(vii) Contracts, together with all Contract Rights arising thereunder; 
  
 (viii) all Copyrights; 
  
 (ix) all Equipment; 
  
 (x) all Deposit Accounts and all other demand, deposit, time, savings, cash management, passbook and similar
accounts maintained by such Assignor with any Person and all monies, securities, Instruments and other investments deposited or required to be deposited in any of the foregoing; 
  
 (xi) all Documents; 
  
 (xii) all General Intangibles; 
  
 (xiii) all Goods; 
  

(xiv) all Instruments; 
  

 3 

 (xv) all Inventory; 
  
 (xvi) all Investment Property; 
  
 (xvii) all Letter-of-Credit Rights (whether or not the respective letter of credit is evidenced by a
writing); 
  
 (xviii) all Marks, together with
the registrations and right to all renewals thereof, and the goodwill of the business of such Assignor symbolized by the Marks; 
  
 (xix) all Patents; 
  
 (xx) all Permits; 
  
 (xxi) all Software and all Software licensing rights, all writings, plans, specifications and schematics, all engineering drawings,

 (xxii) all Supporting Obligations; 
  
 (xxiii) all Tractor Trailers; and 
  
 (xxiv) all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing (all of the above, the “Collateral”). 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section
1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, no Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral hereunder shall secure any of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations (although the Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured
Notes Collateral shall secure all other Obligations hereunder). 
  
 (c) The security interest of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement extends to all Collateral which any Assignor may acquire, or with respect to which any Assignor may obtain rights, at any time during the term of this Agreement.

  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 1.1(a) above, in no event shall the Collateral include, and no Assignor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in any of such Assignor’s rights or interests in any license, contract or agreement to which such Assignor is a
party or any of its rights or interests thereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under the terms of such license, contract or agreement or otherwise, result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under
any license, contract or agreement to which such Assignor is a party (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to the UCC or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity);
provided, however, that (x) immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such provision (as a result of a change in law, receipt of an appropriate consent or otherwise), the Collateral shall include, and such
Assignor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all such rights and interests 

  

 4 

 
without any further action on the part of such Assignor or any Secured Creditor as if such provision had never been in effect and (y) the right to receive
payments of money or other consideration in respect of such license, contract or agreement shall not be excluded from the security interest created hereunder. In the event that any asset of the Assignor is excluded from the Collateral by virtue of
this paragraph, such Assignor, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, shall use all reasonable efforts to enable such Assignor to provide a security interest in such asset pursuant hereto as promptly as practicable. 
  
 1.2 Power of Attorney. Each Assignor hereby constitutes and appoints
the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with full power after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default (in the name of such Assignor or otherwise) to act, require, demand, receive, compound and give
acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies due or to become due to such Assignor under or arising out of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any
action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Secured Creditors, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an interest. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
  
 GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 
  
 Each Assignor represents, warrants and covenants, which representations, warranties and covenants shall survive execution
and delivery of this Agreement, as follows: 
  
 2.1 Necessary
Filings. (i) Subject to Section 13.19 of the Credit Agreement, all filings, registrations, recordings and other actions necessary or appropriate to create, preserve, protect and perfect the security interest granted by such Assignor to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (excluding the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor in the case of any assignment, transfer, pledge or grant of Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral
by any Assignor) hereby in respect of the Collateral (other than Excluded Unperfected Tractor Trailer Collateral) have been accomplished or (x) in the case of Collateral for which it is necessary to file a UCC-1 financing statement (or appropriate
local equivalent) in order to perfect a security interest in such Collateral, such filings will be accomplished within the time limits set forth in Section 13.19 of the Credit Agreement (or to the extent such Collateral is acquired after the Initial
Borrowing Date, within 10 days following the date of the acquisition of such Collateral), (y) in the case of Collateral (other than Excluded Unperfected Tractor Trailer Collateral) for which a certificate of title has been issued and for which it is
necessary to record a security interest upon such certificate of title in order to perfect a security interest in such Collateral, such recordings will be accomplished within the time limits set forth in Section 13.19 of the Credit Agreement (or to
the extent such Collateral is acquired after the Initial Borrowing Date, within 45 days following the date of the acquisition of such Collateral) or such later date as the Collateral Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, and (ii) the
security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement in and to the Collateral (other than Excluded Unperfected Tractor Trailer Collateral) constitutes (or, in the case of Collateral subject to clauses (x) and (y)
above, upon compliance with such clauses, will constitute) a perfected security interest therein prior to the rights of all other Persons therein 

  

 5 

 
(other than other Persons holding Permitted Liens set forth on Schedule IX to the Credit Agreement) and subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted
Liens) and is entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the UCC or other relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfected security interests. 
  
 2.2 No Liens. Such Assignor is, and as to all Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof such
Assignor will be, the owner of all Collateral free from any Lien, security interest, encumbrance or other right, title or interest of any Person (other than Permitted Liens and Liens created under this Agreement), and such Assignor shall defend the
Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent. 
  
 2.3 Other Financing Statements. Except as may be permitted under Section 13.19 of the Credit Agreement, as of the date hereof, there is no
financing statement evidencing a valid security interest against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in
the Collateral (other than (x) those created under this Agreement, (y) financing statements filed in respect of Permitted Liens and (z) those with respect to which appropriate termination statements executed by the secured lender thereunder have
been delivered or shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Secured Debt Agreements), and so long as the Termination Date has not occurred, such Assignor will not execute or authorize to be filed in any public office
any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) or statements relating to the Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security
interests granted hereby by such Assignor or as permitted by the Secured Debt Agreements. 
  
 2.4 Chief Executive Office; Record Locations. The chief executive office of such Assignor is, on the date of this Agreement, located at the address
indicated on Annex A hereto for such Assignor. During the period of the four calendar months preceding the date of this Agreement, the chief executive office of such Assignor has not been located at any address other than that indicated on Annex A
in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, in each case unless each such other address is also indicated on Annex A hereto for such Assignor. 
  
 2.5 Location of Inventory and Equipment. All Inventory and Equipment (other than vehicles, trailers, chassis, containers and other Goods covered by
a certificate of title statute) held on the date hereof, or held at any time during the four calendar months prior to the date hereof, by each Assignor is located at one of the locations shown on Annex B hereto or is in transit between such
locations for such Assignor. 
  
 2.6 Legal Names; Type of
Organization (and Whether a Registered Organization and/or a Transmitting Utility); Jurisdiction of Organization; Location; Organizational Identification Numbers; Changes Thereto; etc. The exact legal name of each Assignor, the type of
organization of such Assignor, whether or not such Assignor is a Registered Organization, the jurisdiction of organization of such Assignor, such Assignor’s Location, the organizational identification number (if any) of such Assignor, and
whether or not such Assignor is a Transmitting Utility, is listed on Annex C hereto for such Assignor. Such Assignor shall not change its legal name, its type of organization, its status as a Registered Organization (in the case 

  

 6 

 
of a Registered Organization), its status as a Transmitting Utility or as a Person which is not a Transmitting Utility, as the case may be, its jurisdiction
of organization, its Location, or its organizational identification number (if any) from that used on Annex C hereto, except that any such changes shall be permitted (so long as not in violation of the applicable requirements of the Secured Debt
Agreements and so long as same do not involve (x) a Registered Organization ceasing to constitute same or (y) such Assignor changing its jurisdiction of organization or Location from the United States or a State thereof to a jurisdiction of
organization or Location, as the case may be, outside the United States or a State thereof) if (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice of each change to the information listed on Annex C (as
adjusted for any subsequent changes thereto previously made in accordance with this sentence), together with a supplement to Annex C which shall correct all information contained therein for such Assignor, and (ii) in connection with the respective
such change or changes, it shall have taken all action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full
force and effect. In addition, to the extent that such Assignor does not have an organizational identification number on the date hereof and later obtains one, such Assignor shall promptly thereafter notify the Collateral Agent of such
organizational identification number and shall take all actions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to the extent necessary to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully
perfected and in full force and effect. 
  
 2.7 Trade Names;
etc. As of the date hereof, such Assignor has or operates in any jurisdiction under, or within the five year period preceding the date of this Agreement (or, if shorter, the period of time such entity has been a Subsidiary of Holdings) has had
or has operated in any jurisdiction under, no trade names, fictitious names or other names except its legal name as specified in Annex C and such other trade or fictitious names as are listed on Annex D hereto for such Assignor. Such Assignor shall
not assume or operate in any jurisdiction under any new trade, fictitious or other name until (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new
name and the jurisdictions in which such new name will be used and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (ii) with respect to such new name, it shall have taken all action

 ACCOUNTS; CONTRACT RIGHTS; INSTRUMENTS 
  
 3.1 Additional Representations and Warranties. As of the time when each of its Accounts arises, each Assignor shall be deemed to have represented
and warranted that each such Account, and all records, papers and documents relating thereto (if any) are genuine and in all material respects what they purport to be, and that all papers and documents (if any) relating thereto (i) will, to the
knowledge of such Assignor, represent the genuine legal, valid and binding (except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting
creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or law) obligation of the account debtor evidencing indebtedness unpaid and owed by the respective account debtor arising out of the
performance of labor or services or the sale or lease and delivery of the merchandise listed therein, or both, (ii) will be the only original writings evidencing and embodying such obligation of the account debtor named therein (other than copies
created for general accounting purposes), (iii) will, to the knowledge of such Assignor, evidence true and valid obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (except to the extent that 

  

 8 

 
the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting
creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or law)) and (iv) will be in compliance and will conform in all material respects with all applicable federal, state and local laws and
applicable laws of any relevant foreign jurisdiction. 
  
 3.2
Maintenance of Records. Each Assignor will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense reasonably satisfactory and complete records of its Accounts and Contracts, including, but not limited to, originals or copies of all documentation
(including each Contract) with respect thereto, records of all payments received, all credits granted thereon, all merchandise returned and all other dealings therewith, and such Assignor will make the same available on such Assignor’s premises
to the Collateral Agent for inspection, at such Assignor’s own cost and expense, at any and all reasonable times upon prior notice to such Assignor and otherwise in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Assignor shall, at its own cost and expense, deliver all tangible evidence of its Accounts and Contract Rights (including, without limitation, all documents
evidencing the Accounts and all Contracts) and such books and records to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by such Assignor). Upon the occurrence and continuation of an
Event of Default, each Assignor shall legend, in form and manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, all leases of Tractor Trailers to Program Affiliates, as well as all documents of such Assignor evidencing or pertaining to such leases, with an
appropriate reference to the fact that such lease has been assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and if the
Collateral Agent so directs, such Assignor shall legend, in form and manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Accounts and all other Contracts, as well as books, records and documents (if any) of such Assignor evidencing or pertaining to
such Accounts and Contracts with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts and Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein. 
  
 3.3 Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties; etc.. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent so directs any Assignor, such Assignor agrees (x) to cause all payments on account of the Accounts and Contracts to be made directly to the Cash Collateral
Account, (y) that the Collateral Agent may, at its option, directly notify the obligors with respect to any Accounts and/or under any Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding clause (x), and (z) that the
Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Accounts and Contracts and may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Assignor. Without notice to or assent by any Assignor,
the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply any or all amounts then in, or thereafter deposited in, the Cash Collateral Account toward the payment of the Obligations in the manner provided
in Section 8.4 of this Agreement. The reasonable costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), whether incurred by an Assignor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Assignor. The Collateral Agent
shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in the preceding clause (y) to the relevant Assignor prior to, or simultaneous with, delivery to the relevant obligor, provided that (x) the failure by the Collateral 

  

 9 

 
Agent to so notify such Assignor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.3
and (y) no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type described in Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing. 
  

3.4 Modification of Terms; etc. Except in accordance with such Assignor’s ordinary course of business and consistent with reasonable
business judgment or as permitted by Section 3.5, no Assignor shall rescind or cancel any indebtedness evidenced by any Account or under any Contract, or modify any material term thereof or make any material adjustment with respect thereto, or
extend or renew the same, or compromise or settle any material dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto, or sell any Account or Contract, or interest therein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, except (i) as
permitted by Section 3.5 and (ii) to the extent that the aggregate cost to Holdings and its Subsidiaries of any such rescission, cancellation, modification, adjustment, extension, compromise, settlement or sale is not reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. No Assignor will do anything to impair in any material respect the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Accounts or Contracts. 
  
 3.5 Collection. Each Assignor shall endeavor in accordance with reasonable business practices to cause to be collected from the account debtor
named in each of its Accounts or obligor under any Contract, as and when due (including, without limitation, amounts which are delinquent, such amounts to be collected in accordance with generally accepted lawful collection procedures) any and all
amounts owing under or on account of such Account or Contract, and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Account or under such Contract. Except as otherwise directed by the
Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any Assignor may allow in the ordinary course of business as adjustments to amounts owing under its Accounts and Contracts (i) an extension or renewal of the
time or times of payment, or settlement for less than the total unpaid balance or unperformed service, which such Assignor finds appropriate in accordance with reasonable business judgment and (ii) a refund or credit due as a result of returned or
damaged merchandise or improperly performed services or for other reasons which such Assignor finds appropriate in accordance with reasonable business judgment. The reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees) of collection, whether incurred by an Assignor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Assignor.

ordinary course of business and (y) Instruments which qualify as Non-Deliverable Notes (as defined in the U.S. Pledge Agreement), such Assignor will within 10 Business Days notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and upon request by the Collateral
Agent will promptly deliver such Instrument to the Collateral Agent appropriately endorsed to the order of the Collateral Agent as further security hereunder. 
  

3.7 Assignors Remain Liable Under Accounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Assignors shall remain liable under each of the
Accounts to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise to such Accounts. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured
Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any 

  

 10 

 
Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Creditor of any payment relating to such Account pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Assignor under or pursuant to any Account (or any
agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by them or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account (or any agreement giving rise
thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times. 
  
 3.8 Assignors Remain Liable Under Contracts. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Assignors shall remain liable under each of the Contracts to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by them thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms
and provisions of each Contract. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Creditor of any payment relating to such Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Assignor under or pursuant to any Contract,
to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts
which may have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times. 
  
 3.9 Deposit Accounts; etc. (a) No Assignor maintains, or at any time after the date of this Agreement shall establish or maintain, any demand, time, savings, passbook or similar account, except for such
accounts maintained with a bank (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) whose jurisdiction (determined in accordance with Section 9-304 of the UCC) is (x) within a State of the United States or (y) within Canada, so long as the aggregate amount of
cash or Cash Equivalents maintained in accounts within Canada does not exceed $500,000 for any consecutive three-day period (in the case of cash and Cash Equivalents denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, taking the U.S. Dollar
Equivalent thereof at such time). Annex L hereto accurately sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, for each
Assignor, each Deposit Account maintained by such Assignor (including a description thereof and the respective account number), the name of the respective bank with which such Deposit Account is maintained, and the jurisdiction of the respective
bank with respect to such Deposit Account. For each Deposit Account (other than (i) the Cash Collateral Account or any other Deposit Account maintained with the Collateral Agent, (ii) Deposit Accounts with an aggregate monthly balance of less than
$10,000, provided that, with respect to this clause (ii) only, the aggregate amount in all such Deposit Accounts excluded pursuant to this clause (ii) does not exceed $200,000 at any time, (iii) payroll accounts and (iv) such other accounts
used solely for disbursement purposes), the respective Assignor shall cause the bank with which the Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, within 60 days after the date of this Agreement (or such later date as
the Collateral Agent may determine in its sole discretion) or, if later, at the time of the establishment of the respective Deposit Account, a “control agreement” in the form of Annex M hereto (appropriately completed), with such changes
thereto as may be acceptable to 

  

 11 

 
the Collateral Agent. If any bank with which a Deposit Account is maintained refuses to, or does not, enter into such a “control agreement”, then
the respective Assignor shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days after the date of this Agreement (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may determine in its sole discretion) or, if later, 30 days after the establishment of such account)
close the respective Deposit Account and transfer all balances therein to the Cash Collateral Account or another Deposit Account meeting the requirements of this Section 3.9. If any bank with which a Deposit Account is maintained refuses to
subordinate all its claims with respect to such Deposit Account to the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein on terms satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, then the Collateral Agent, at its option, may (x) require that such Deposit
Account be terminated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or (y) agree to a “control agreement” without such subordination, provided that in such event the Collateral Agent may at any time, at its option, subsequently
require that such Deposit Account be terminated (within 30 days after notice from the Collateral Agent) in accordance with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. 
  
 (b) After the date of this Agreement, no Assignor shall establish any new demand, time, savings, passbook or similar
account, except for Deposit Accounts established and maintained with banks and meeting the requirements of preceding clause (a). At the time any such Deposit Account is established, the appropriate “control agreement” shall be entered into

shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the
Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds
of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be applied as provided in this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 
  
 3.11 Commercial Tort Claims. Each Commercial Tort Claim of any Assignor in an amount (taking the greater of the
aggregate claimed damages thereunder or the reasonably estimated value thereof, in each case less the amount of any claim against such Assignor arising from the same facts and circumstances as such Commercial Tort Claim) of $1,000,000 or more in
existence on the date of this Agreement is described in Annex F hereto. If any Assignor shall at any time after the date of this Agreement acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount (taking the greater of the aggregate claimed damages thereunder
or the reasonably estimated value thereof, in each case less the amount of any claim against such Assignor arising from the same facts and circumstances as such Commercial Tort Claim) of $1,000,000 or more, such Assignor shall promptly notify the
Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Assignor and describing the details thereof and shall grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement,

time, each Assignor shall promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a list of all Electronic Chattel Paper held or owned by such Assignor. Furthermore, if requested by the Collateral Agent, each Assignor shall promptly take all actions which are
reasonably practicable so that the Collateral Agent has “control” of all Electronic Chattel Paper in accordance with the requirements of Section 9-105 of the UCC. Each Assignor will promptly (and in any event within 10 days) following any
request by the Collateral Agent, deliver all of its Tangible Chattel Paper to the Collateral Agent. 
  
 3.13 Further Actions. Each Assignor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from
time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps, including any and all actions
as may be necessary or required under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act, relating to its Accounts, Contracts, Instruments and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
require.

later date as the Collateral Agent shall determine in its sole discretion), the relevant Assignor shall, at its own expense, cause a security interest in favor of 

  

 17 

 
the Collateral Agent to be recorded on the certificate of title for such Tractor Trailer and cause each such certificate of title to be filed in the relevant
state or province in which such Tractor Trailer is registered (in each case, except to the extent such Tractor Trailer constitutes Excluded Unperfected Tractor Trailer Collateral). Each Assignor agrees to execute all documentation reasonably
required to effect such recordations and to cause the filing of relevant certificates of title with the appropriate state or provincial governmental agency. 
  
 6.4 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, by written notice to the relevant Assignor, take any
or all of the following actions: (i) declare the entire right, title and interest of such Assignor in and to each of the Tractor Trailers, vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (excluding the Existing Senior
Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor, in the case of Tractor Trailers and rights therein owned or held by any Assignor which constitute Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral), in which event such rights, title and interest
shall immediately vest, in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (excluding the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor, in the case of Tractor Trailers and rights therein owned or held by any Assignor which
constitute Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral), and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in Section 6.1 to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and to record said
absolute assignment with the applicable agency; (ii) subject to Section 8.2, take and use or sell the Tractor Trailers; and (iii) request such Assignor to (whereupon such Assignor shall) deliver all of the certificates of title for each Tractor
Trailer owned by such Assignor to the Collateral Agent. 
  
 6.5
Further Assurances. Each Assignor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its owned Tractor Trailers, documents
of title, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and, other than in respect of any Tractor Trailer which
constitutes Excluded Unperfected Collateral, take such further steps relating to the Tractor Trailers constituting Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the Collateral Agent deems reasonably
appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in such Tractor Trailers constituting Collateral. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
  
 PROVISIONS CONCERNING ALL COLLATERAL 
  
 7.1 Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security. Each Assignor will do nothing to impair the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral. Each Assignor will at all times keep its Inventory and Equipment
insured in favor of the Collateral Agent, at such Assignor’s own expense to the extent and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement; all policies or certificates with respect to such insurance (and any other insurance maintained by such
Assignor) (i) shall be endorsed to the Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, by naming the Collateral Agent as loss payee and naming each of the the Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Creditors as additional 

  

 18 

 
insureds), (ii) shall state that such insurance policies shall not be cancelled or revised without 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer
to the Collateral Agent, and (iii) certified copies of such policies or certificates shall be deposited with the Collateral Agent to the extent, at the times and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement. If any Assignor shall fail to insure
its Inventory and Equipment in accordance with the preceding sentence, or if any Assignor shall fail to so endorse and deposit all policies or certificates with respect thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall be under no
obligation) to procure such insurance and such Assignor agrees to promptly reimburse the Collateral Agent for all costs and expenses of procuring such insurance. Except as otherwise permitted to be retained or expended by the relevant Assignor
pursuant to the Credit Agreement (or, after the Credit Document Obligations Termination Date, any other Secured Debt Agreement), the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of any proceeds from insurance maintained by any Assignor, apply such proceeds
in accordance with the Credit Agreement (or, after the Credit Document Obligations Termination Date, in accordance with the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors), or after the Obligations have been accelerated or otherwise become due and
payable, with Section 8.4. Each Assignor assumes all liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of such Assignor to pay the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the
fact that such Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to such Assignor. 
  
 7.2 Warehouse Receipts Non-Negotiable. To the extent practicable, each Assignor agrees that if any warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature of a
warehouse receipt is issued with respect to any of its Inventory, such Assignor shall request that such warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature thereof shall not be “negotiable” (as such term is used in Section 7-104 of the UCC as in
effect in any relevant jurisdiction or under other relevant law). 
  
 7.3 Additional Information. Each Assignor will, at its own expense, from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, promptly (and in any event within 15 days (or, if a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, within 10 days) after its receipt of the respective request) furnish to the Collateral Agent such information with respect to the Collateral (including the identity of the Collateral or such components thereof as may have
been requested by the Collateral Agent, the value and location of such Collateral, etc.) as may be requested by the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the forgoing, each Assignor agrees that it shall promptly (and in any event within 15 days (or, if
a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, within 10 days) after its receipt of the respective request) furnish to the Collateral Agent such updated Annexes hereto as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent. 
  
 7.4 Further Actions. Each Assignor
will, at its own expense and upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its Collateral,
warehouse receipts, receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, certificates, reports and other
assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the Collateral Agent deems reasonably appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve
or protect its security interest in the Collateral. 
  

 19 

 7.5 Financing Statements. Each Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such
financing statements, in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request or as are reasonably necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Collateral Agent to establish and
maintain a valid, enforceable, and except in respect of Collateral subject to Permitted Liens set forth on Schedule IX to the Credit Agreement, first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and the other rights and
security contemplated hereby (subject only to Permitted Liens). Each Assignor will pay any applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its Collateral. Each Assignor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any
such financing statements without the signature of such Assignor where permitted by law (and such authorization includes describing the Collateral as “all assets” of such Assignor). 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT 
  
 8.1 Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon Default. Each Assignor agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Collateral Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law and under the other provisions of this Agreement, shall have all rights as a secured creditor
under any UCC, and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured creditor is entitled under the laws in effect in all relevant jurisdictions and may: 
  

(i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from such Assignor or any
other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon such Assignor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection
with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of such Assignor; 
  
 (ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the Accounts and
the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Assignor in respect of such
Collateral; 
  
 (iii) instruct all banks which
have entered into a control agreement with the Collateral Agent to transfer all monies, securities and instruments held by such depository bank to the Cash Collateral Account and withdraw all monies, securities and instruments in the Cash Collateral
Account for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 8.4; 
  
 (iv) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof, or direct such Assignor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the
Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case, take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation; 
  

 20 

 (v) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Assignor in
writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Assignor shall at its own expense: 
  
 (x) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent and
there delivered to the Collateral Agent; 
  
 (y)
store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 8.2 hereof; and 
  
 (z) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such guards, other security and maintenance
services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain it in good condition; 
  
 (vi) license or sublicense, whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any Marks, Domain Names, Patents or Copyrights included in the
Collateral for such term and on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole judgment determine; 
  
 (vii) apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4; and 
  
 (viii) take any other action as specified in clauses (1)
through (5), inclusive, of Section 9-607 of the UCC; 
  
 it being understood that
each Assignor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific
performance by such Assignor of said obligation. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Security Document, the Secured Creditors expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Security Document may be enforced
only by the action of the Collateral Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or any other Security
Document or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby or thereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies shall be exercised exclusively by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of
this Agreement and the other Security Documents. 
  
 8.2
Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then any Collateral repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof and any other Collateral whether or not so
repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such
manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on 

  

 21 

 
such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the
Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the relevant Assignor which the Collateral Agent shall determine
to be commercially reasonable. Any such sale, lease or other disposition which shall be a private sale or other private proceedings permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days’ written notice to the relevant Assignor
specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the 10 days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the relevant Assignor or any nominee of
such Assignor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration so specified. Any such disposition which shall be a public sale permitted by such
requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days’ written notice to the relevant Assignor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction (which may, at the
Collateral Agent’s option, be subject to reserve), after publication of notice of such auction not less than 10 days prior thereto in two newspapers in general circulation to be selected by the Collateral Agent. To the extent permitted by any
such requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for
disposition in accordance with this Section without accountability to the relevant Assignor. If, under applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be permitted to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the
giving of notice to the relevant Assignor as hereinabove specified, the Collateral Agent need give such Assignor only such notice of disposition as shall be required by such applicable law. Each Assignor agrees to do or cause to be done all such
other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions,
decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Assignor’s expense. 
  
 8.3 Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
EACH ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Assignor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law: 
  
 (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any damages which are
the direct result of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision); 
  
 (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to
the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and 
  

 22 

 (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium
now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Assignor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as
it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws. 
  
 Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand,
either at law or in equity, of the relevant Assignor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Assignor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned
or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such Assignor. 
  
 8.4 Application of Proceeds. (a) All moneys collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale or other disposition of any Collateral (other than Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral)
pursuant to the enforcement of this Agreement or the exercise of any of the remedial provisions hereof (or, if any other Security Document requires proceeds of “collateral” thereunder (other than Excluded Collateral) to be applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, by such other “collateral agent” thereunder pursuant to the enforcement of such Security Document or the exercise of the remedial provisions thereof), together with all other moneys received by
the Collateral Agent hereunder (or such other “collateral agent” under such other Security Documents) as a result of any such enforcement or the exercise of any such remedial provisions (other than with respect to Excluded Collateral) or
as a result of any distribution of any Collateral (or “collateral” under any other Security Document, as the case may be) (in each case, other than Excluded Collateral) upon the bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the readjustment of the obligations and indebtedness of any Credit Party, or the application of any Collateral (or “collateral” under any other Security Document, as the case
may be) (in each case, other than Excluded Collateral) to the payment thereof or any distribution of Collateral (or “collateral” under any other Security Document, as the case may be) (in each case, other than Excluded Collateral) upon the
liquidation or dissolution of any Credit Party, or the winding up of the assets or business of any Credit Party or under any Mortgage Policies (to the extent same does not constitute Excluded Collateral), shall be applied as follows: 
  
 (i) first, to the payment of all Obligations owing
the Collateral Agent of the type described in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) of the definition of “Obligations”;

all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; 
  

 23

preceding clauses (i) through (iii), an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 8.4(f), with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary
Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; 
  

(v) fifth, to the extent proceeds remain after the applications pursuant to preceding clauses (i) through (iv), an amount equal
to the outstanding Tertiary Obligations (as hereinafter defined) shall be paid to the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor as provided in Section 8.4(f), with the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor to receive an
amount equal to the outstanding Tertiary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Tertiary Obligations, the amount remaining to be distributed; and 
  
 (vi) sixth, to the extent proceeds remain after the applications pursuant to preceding clauses (i)
through (v), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.8(a) hereof, to the relevant Assignor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
  
 (b) All moneys collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale or other
disposition of any Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral pursuant to the enforcement of this Agreement or the exercise of any of the remedial provisions hereof (or, if any other Security Document requires proceeds of
Excluded Collateral thereunder to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, by such other “collateral agent” thereunder pursuant to the enforcement of such Security Document or the exercise of the remedial provisions
thereof), together with all other moneys received by the Collateral Agent hereunder (or such other “collateral agent” under such other Security Documents) with respect to Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral (or
Excluded Collateral, as applicable) as a result of any such enforcement or the exercise of any such remedial provisions or as a result of any distribution of any Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral (or Excluded Collateral,
as applicable) upon the bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the readjustment of the obligations and indebtedness of any Credit Party, or the application of any

 (i) first, to the payment of all Obligations owing the Collateral Agent of the type described in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) of the definition of “Obligations”; 
  
 (ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the
application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), to the payment of all amounts owing to any Agent of the type described in clause (vi) and (vii) of the definition of “Obligations”; 
  

 24 

 (iii) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the
preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the outstanding Primary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 8.4(f), with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations

equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 8.4(f), with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient
to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and 
  
 (v) fifth, to the extent proceeds remain after the applications pursuant to preceding clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, and
following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.8(a) hereof, to the relevant Assignor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
  
 (c) For purposes of this Agreement (i) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor’s
portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Primary Obligations, Secondary Obligations or Tertiary Obligations,
as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations, Secondary Obligations or Tertiary Obligations, as the case may be, (ii) “Primary Obligations” shall mean (x) all principal of, and
interest on, all Loans, all Unpaid Drawings theretofore made (together with all interest accrued thereon), the aggregate Stated Amounts of all Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement, and all Fees and (y) in the case of the Other
Obligations, all amounts due under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement (other than indemnities, fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) and similar obligations and liabilities), (iii) “Secondary
Obligations” shall mean all Obligations other than Primary Obligations and Tertiary Obligations and (iv) “Tertiary Obligations” shall mean all Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations. Furthermore, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent that the relevant Secured Creditors amend or modify the Credit Documents, the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Documents or the other Secured Debt Agreements in
a manner which has the effect of increasing the outstanding amount of the Primary Obligations, Secondary Obligations or Tertiary Obligations, as the case may be, above the amounts thereof as then in effect, then to the extent additional amounts are
owing as a result thereof, such additional amounts shall be deemed to constitute Primary Obligations, Secondary Obligations or Tertiary Obligations, as the case may be, in each case so long as the amendments or modifications which effect such
increased amounts are made in accordance with the requirements set forth in clause (x) of the second proviso appearing in the first sentence of Section 11.2(a) below. 
  
 (d) Each of the Secured Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Security Documents, agrees
and acknowledges that if the Lender Creditors receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued 

  

 25 

 
under the Credit Agreement (which shall only occur after all outstanding Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement and Unpaid Drawings have been paid in
full), such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Lender Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors as
such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, and after the application of all such cash security to the
repayment of all Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit, if there remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent
for distribution in accordance with Section 8.4(a) hereof. 
  
 (e)
When payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 8.4 only) (i) first, to
their Primary Obligations, (ii) second, to the Secondary Obligations (other than Secondary Obligations constituting indemnity or reimbursement obligations not then due and owing and for which no claim has been made at the time of the proposed
payment) and (iii) third, to their Tertiary Obligations and, in the case of distributions pursuant to Section 8.4(a). 
  
 (f) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement for
the account of (and for distribution to) the Lender Creditors, (y) if to the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor, to the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture Trustee under the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured
Notes Indenture for the account of (and for distribution to) the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Trustee and the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Noteholders in accordance with the requirements of the Existing Senior Subordinated
Secured Notes Indenture and (z) if to any other Secured Creditor (other than the Collateral Agent), to the Authorized Representative for such other Secured Creditor, or in the absence of such an Authorized Representative, directly to such other
Secured Creditor. 
  
 (g) For purposes of applying payments
received in accordance with this Section 8.4, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Trustee under the Existing Senior
Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture and (iii) each Authorized Representative of an Other Creditor (or, in the absence of any such Authorized Representative, directly upon such other relevant Secured Creditors), for a determination (which each
Authorized Representative for any Secured Creditor and the Secured Creditors agree to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Primary Obligations, Secondary Obligations and Tertiary Obligations (and Dollar Equivalents
thereof) owed to the Lender Creditors, the Other Creditors or the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor, as the case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from any Lender Creditor, any Other
Creditor or any of their respective Authorized Representatives) to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and each other Authorized Representative, in furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Collateral Agent, in acting
hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from an Other Creditor) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be
entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements are in existence. 
  

 26 

 (h) Distributions made in accordance with this Section 8.4 shall, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, be subject to the express subordination provisions contained in the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Documents and, as a result thereof, to the extent any Secured Creditor receives a distribution
pursuant to this Section 8.4 which must be turned over or applied in accordance with said subordination provisions, said subordination provisions shall control the ultimate distribution of such amounts. 
  
 (i) It is understood and agreed that each of the Assignors shall remain
jointly and severally liable to the relevant Secured Creditors to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral received by such Secured Creditors hereunder and the aggregate amount of the sums referred to in
clause (a) or (b), as the case may be, of this Section with respect to the relevant Assignor. 
  
 8.5 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Collateral
Agent under this Agreement, the other Secured Debt Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time
to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a
waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy
or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence thereof. No notice to or demand on any Assignor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or
constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and
shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment. 
  
 8.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent shall
have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely
to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Assignor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the
security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  

 27 

 ARTICLE IX 
  
 INDEMNITY 
  
 9.1 Indemnity. (a) Each Assignor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Creditor
and their respective successors, assigns, employees, affiliates and agents (hereinafter in this Section 9.1 referred to individually as “Indemnitee,” and collectively as “Indemnitees”) harmless from any and all
liabilities, obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments and any and all costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (for the purposes of this Section 9.1 the
foregoing are collectively called “expenses”) of whatsoever kind and nature imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Secured Debt Agreement or any
other document executed in connection herewith or therewith or in any other way connected with the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms of, or the preservation of any rights under
any thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchase, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition, or use of the Collateral
(including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), the violation of the laws of any country, state or other governmental body or unit, any tort (including, without limitation, claims arising or imposed under the
doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnitee), or property damage), or contract claim; provided that no Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 9.1(a) for

evidenced thereby) constitute “Senior Debt” and/or “Guarantor Senior Debt” under the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture and (III) in the case of any other extensions not described in preceding clause (II), such
extensions (and resulting addition) do not otherwise give rise to an express violation of the terms of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Documents and (y) said clause (iii) shall not apply to any release of Collateral or any Assignor
(or the termination of this Agreement) effected in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.8 or 11.14 of this Agreement, as the case may be. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Class” shall mean each class of Secured
Creditors with outstanding Obligations secured hereby at such time, i.e., whether (x) the Lender Creditors as holders of the Credit Document Obligations, (y) the Other Creditors as holders of the Other Obligations or (z) the Existing Senior
Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor (with respect to the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations). For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Requisite Creditors” of any Class shall mean each of (x) with respect to the
Credit Document Obligations, the Required Lenders (for this purpose determined after giving effect to the last sentence of the definition thereof as if the assignment referred to therein had occurred), (y) with respect to the Other Obligations, the
holders of at least a majority of all Other Obligations outstanding from time to time under the Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements (as determined by the Collateral Agent in such reasonable manner as is acceptable to it)
and (z) with respect to the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations, the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor acting at the direction of the holders of at least a majority of all Existing Senior Subordinated Secured
Notes Obligations outstanding from time to time. 
  

 40 

 (b) Each Secured Creditor (other than an Other Creditor), by its acceptance of the benefits of this
Agreement, hereby authorizes its Authorized Representative to, and each such Authorized Representative (by such authorization) hereby agrees to, deliver to the Collateral Agent and each other Authorized Representative: 
  
 (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent, prompt written
notice of the acceleration of any Credit Document Obligations (such notice to be provided in the same manner and substantially contemporaneously with any notice provided to the Borrower), although the failure to deliver any such notice shall not
affect the validity of such acceleration; and 
  
 (ii) in the case of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Trustee, prompt written notice of the acceleration of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations (such notice to be provided in the same manner and
substantially contemporaneously with any notice provided to the Borrower), although the failure to deliver any such notice shall not affect the validity of such acceleration. 
  
 11.3 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Assignor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without
regard to, and shall not be impaired by, (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of such Assignor; (b) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of, any right, remedy, power
or privilege under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement; or (c) any amendment to or modification of any Secured Debt Agreement or any security for any of the Obligations; whether or not such Assignor shall have notice
or knowledge of any of the foregoing. 
  
 11.4 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and (i) shall remain in full force and effect, subject to release and/or termination as set forth in Section 11.8, (ii) be binding upon each Assignor and its
successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Assignor shall assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (with the prior written consent of the Required Secured
Creditors). Any Person that becomes a Secured Creditor after the date hereof by its acceptance of any Note, any Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Note or any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or the benefits of this Agreement, as the case may
be, shall be bound by the terms hereof; it being understood that, as between the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Noteholders and the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor, no Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Noteholder shall
have any right to give any direction to the Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral or take any action or exercise any right of a Secured Creditor under this Agreement or any other Security Documents, with all such directions, actions or
rights to be given, taken or exercised, as the case may be, by the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor acting for the benefit of the holders of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations, provided that nothing
contained in the preceding clause shall be construed to limit the agreements set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.1. All agreements, statements, representations and warranties made by each Assignor herein or in any certificate or other
instrument delivered by such Assignor or on its behalf under this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Creditors and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Secured Debt Agreement
regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Creditors or on their behalf. 
  
 11.5 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this
Agreement.

OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY SECURED CREDITOR, TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY ASSIGNOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
  
 (b) EACH ASSIGNOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR
PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 42 

 11.7 Assignor’s Duties. It is expressly agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, that each Assignor shall remain liable to perform all of the obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligations or liabilities with respect to any Collateral by
reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of each Assignor under or with respect to any Collateral. 
  
 11.8 Termination; Release. (a) After the Termination Date (as defined
below), this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section 9.1 hereof shall survive such termination) and the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the respective
Assignor, will promptly execute and deliver to such Assignor a proper instrument or instruments (including UCC termination statements on form UCC-3) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such Assignor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this
Agreement. As used in this Agreement, “Termination Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of (x) the date upon which (i) the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations Termination Date shall have occurred and (ii) if
(but only if) an Event of Default under, and as defined in, the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture exists on the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations Termination Date, all Existing Senior Subordinated Secured
Notes Obligations (other than those arising from indemnities for which no claim has been made) then owing have been indefeasibly paid in full (or defeased in accordance with the terms of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture) and
(y) that date upon which the Required Secured Creditors shall have released all of the Collateral pledged hereunder in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.8(b) or (c) below. For the avoidance of doubt, upon repayment in full of the
Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations or termination of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Documents, the security rights of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor in the Collateral shall be
automatically released and discharged (without any further action required). 
  
 (b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with a sale or other disposition (other than a sale or disposition to any Assignor or any Subsidiary thereof) which (x)
at all times prior to the Credit Document Obligations Termination Date, is permitted by the Credit Agreement and (y) does not violate the provisions of any other Secured Debt Agreement, then, so long as the Borrower certifies to the Collateral Agent
that, at the time of the respective release and immediately after giving effect thereto (and to the sale or other disposition of the respective Collateral), either (x) no Obligations are or will be then due and payable or (y) all Obligations which
will then be due and payable as a result of such sale or disposition shall be paid on such date in accordance with the requirements of the respective Secured Debt Agreements, the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the respective
Assignor, will (i) duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Assignor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or disposed of and has not theretofore been released
pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) execute such releases and discharges in respect of such Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or disposed of as such Assignor may reasonably request; provided, however, that if (but only
if) an Event of Default under, and as defined in, the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured 

  

 43 

 
Notes Indenture exists on the date of such sale or other disposition and such date is also the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations
Termination Date, only that portion of the Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of in order to repay in full the Credit Document Obligations and/or the Other Obligations on such date shall be (and shall be required to be) released pursuant to this
Section 11.8(b) until such Event of Default (and all other Events of Default under, and as defined in, the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture) shall have been cured or otherwise waived by the Required Secured Creditors (determined
after giving effect to the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations Termination Date), at which time such remaining Collateral shall be released as otherwise provided above (without regard to this proviso). 
  
 (c) In addition to any release of Collateral pursuant to preceding clauses
(a) and (b), all or any portion of the Collateral hereunder shall be released by the Collateral Agent at the written direction of, or with the written consent of, the Required Secured Creditors (which may be, but shall not be required to be, granted
in connection with a repayment of all, or any specified portion, of the Obligations owing to such Secured Creditors) and, in connection therewith, the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the respective Assignor, will (i) duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such Assignor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so released and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) execute
such releases and discharges in respect of such Collateral as is then being (or has been) so released as such Assignor may reasonably request. 
  
 (d) At any time that an Assignor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action to acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to
the foregoing Section 11.8(a), (b) or (c), such Assignor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of such Assignor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to such
Section 11.8(a), (b) or (c). If requested by the Collateral Agent (although the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to make any such request), the relevant Assignor shall furnish appropriate legal opinions (from counsel, which may be in-house
counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) to the effect set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Upon any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 11.8(a), (b) or (c), none of the Secured Creditors shall have any continuing
right or interest in such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that if (but only if) an Event of Default under, and as defined in, the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture exists on the date of such
release and such date is also the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations Termination Date, any proceeds of any Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of on such date and not used to repay in full the Credit Document Obligations
and/or the Other Obligations shall remain subject to the pledge hereunder (and continue to constitute Collateral) until such Event of Default (and all other Events of Default under, and as defined in, the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes
Indenture) shall have been cured or otherwise waived by the Required Secured Creditors (determined after giving effect to the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations Termination Date), at which time any continuing right or
interest in such Collateral shall terminate. 
  
 (e) The
Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Collateral Agent in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct believes to
be in accordance with) this Section 11.8. 
  

 44 

 (f) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.8, to the extent applicable following
the qualification of the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, (i) the Assignors shall comply with Section 314(d) of the Trustee Indenture Act in connection with the release of property or Liens hereunder and
(ii) the parties hereto agree that if any amendments to this Agreement or any other Security Documents are required in order to comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to effect such
amendments as promptly as practicable. 
  
 11.9
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Collateral Agent. 
  
 11.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. 
  
 11.11 The Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Creditors. The Collateral Agent will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Agent
as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent
shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 11.12 Additional Assignors. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary Guarantor that desires to become an Assignor hereunder, or is required
to execute a counterpart of this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture shall become an Assignor hereunder by (x)
executing a counterpart hereof and delivering same to the Collateral Agent, or by executing an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (y) delivering supplements to Annexes A through J, includisive, hereto
and Annex L hereto, as are necessary to cause such Annexes to be complete and accurate with respect to such additional Assignor on such date and (z) taking all actions as specified in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Existing Senior
Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture, as would have been taken by such Assignor had it been an original party to this Agreement, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to the Collateral Agent and with all documents and
actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Collateral Agent. 
  

 45 

 11.13 Release of Assignors. If at any time all of the equity interests of any Assignor owned by
Holdings and its Subsidiaries are sold to any Person (other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) in a transaction which (x) at all times prior to the Credit Document Obligations Termination Date, is permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement
and (y) does not violate the terms of any other Secured Debt Agreement then in effect, then, at the request and expense of the Borrower, the respective Assignor shall be released as an Assignor pursuant to this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent is
authorized and directed to execute and deliver such instruments of release as are reasonably satisfactory to it). At any time that the Borrower desires that an Assignor be released from this Agreement as provided in this Section 11.13, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by an Authorized Representative of the Borrower stating that the release of the respective Assignor is permitted pursuant to this Section 11.13. If requested by the Collateral Agent
(although the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to make any such request), the Borrower shall furnish legal opinions (from counsel, which may be in-house counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) to the effect set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor as a result of the release of any Assignor by it in accordance with (or which it in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct believes to be in accordance with) this Section 11.13. 
  
 11.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and for the benefit of the Secured Creditors from time to time and their
respective successors and assigns and, except for the Secured Creditors and their successors and assigns, there shall be no third party beneficiaries hereof, nor shall any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns, and the Secured Creditors and their respective successors and assigns, be entitled to enforce the provisions hereof or have any claims against any party hereto (or any Secured Creditor) or their successors and assigns arising from, or
under, this Agreement.

all times prior to the Termination Date, notwithstanding: (i) the initiation of any bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding with respect to any Credit Party; (ii) the priorities which would otherwise result from the
order of creation, attachment or perfection of any such lien; (iii) the taking of possession of any of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent, any Lender Creditor, the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor or any Other Creditor; (iv)

Termination Date. 
  
 (b) Each Secured Creditor, by its acceptance
of the benefits of the Security Agreement, hereby agrees for the benefit of the other Secured Creditors that, except as otherwise specifically provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, to the extent any additional or substitute collateral for
any of the Obligations of the type covered by the Security Agreement is delivered by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to or for the benefit of any Secured Creditor, such collateral shall be subject to the provisions of the Security Agreement and,
in the event such collateral constitutes “Excluded Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Collateral”, be subject to the pledge limitations for Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations set forth in the Security Agreement.

  
 12.2 Right to Contest; etc. (a) The Existing Senior
Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor agrees for itself (and for the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Noteholders), and their respective successors and assigns, (i) not to contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding,
including, without limitation, any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, the priority, validity or enforceability of the Liens held by the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors or the Collateral Agent (on behalf of such Secured
Creditors) in the Collateral or the priority, validity or enforceability of the Obligations (so long as the Liens held by the Collateral Agent (in favor of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor) in the Collateral (other than the
Excluded Collateral), and the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations owing to the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditors, are not subject to a contest initiated or supported by the Lender Creditors or the Other
Creditors at such time), or the provisions of this Section 12 and (ii) that the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations are not (and shall not be construed to be) secured by any Excluded Collateral. 
  
 (b) Each Secured Creditor (other than the Existing Senior Subordinated
Secured Notes Creditor) agrees for itself, and its successors and assigns, not to contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding, including, without limitation, any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, the validity
or enforceability of the Liens held by the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor or the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor) in any Collateral (other than Excluded 

  

 47 

 
Collateral) or the validity or enforceability of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations, in each case so long as the Liens held by the
Lender Creditors, the Other Creditors or the Collateral Agent (on behalf of such Secured Creditors) in the Collateral is, and the relevant Obligations owing to such Secured Creditors are, valid and enforceable (and not subject to a contest initiated
or supported by the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor or any Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Noteholder) at such time. 
  
 (c) Each Secured Creditor agrees for itself, and for its successors and assigns, that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Required Secured Creditors (in
directing the Collateral Agent to take any action with respect to the Collateral) shall have any duty or obligation to realize first upon any type of Collateral (including Excluded Collateral) or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any
portion of the Collateral in any manner that would maximize the return to any Class of Secured Creditors holding Obligations of any type (whether Credit Document Obligations, Other Obligations or Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes
Obligations), notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by such Class of Secured Creditors from such realization, sale, disposition or
liquidation. 
  
 12.3 Payment Invalidated. In the event
that any of the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations shall be paid in full and subsequently, for whatever reason (including, but not limited to, an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under Title 11 of the United
Stated Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), formerly paid or satisfied Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations become unpaid or unsatisfied, the terms and conditions of this Section 12
shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations are again paid in full. 
  
 12.4 Right to Amend; etc. As between the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor and the other Secured Creditors (including, without
limitation, the Lenders), it is agreed that the Secured Creditors (excluding the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor in its capacity as such) may at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion, and without any obligation
to give any notice or receive any consent from the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor in its capacity as such, (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, alter, refinance,
increase or add to the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations, (ii) obtain, release, or dispose of any Collateral for the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations (subject, however, to Sections 11.2 and 11.8),
or (iii) amend or supplement in any manner this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any other agreements or instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations (subject, however, to
Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement and Section 11.2 hereof), and the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all such Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations. 
  
 12.5 Creation of Future Obligations. All of the Non-Existing Senior
Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations shall be deemed to have been funded by the relevant Secured Creditors in reliance upon the agreements contained in this Section 12, and the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor (i) expressly
waives notice of acceptance of the agreements 

  

 48 

 
set forth herein, notice of reliance thereon and any other agreements and notice of the creation of any Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes
Obligations, (ii) agrees that the Secured Creditors shall be entitled to rely upon the agreements set forth herein at all times in creating Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations and (iii) agrees that (w) additional extensions of
credit may be made pursuant to the Credit Agreement, with the consent of the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement and any other Lenders whose consent is required thereunder, (x) additional Credit Document
Obligations resulting therefrom may be designated as Non-Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Obligations (and shall be entitled to such priorities with respect to the Collateral as may be agreed amongst the Required Lenders), (y) no further
consent of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor shall be required in connection therewith (so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is not expressly prohibited by the Existing Senior Subordinated
Secured Notes Indenture) and (z) the provisions of this Section 12 (and Section 8.4) shall be fully applicable to the Credit Document Obligations so created in the future. 
  
 12.6 Effectiveness. The provisions in this Section 12 (and Section 8.4) shall be effective both before and after the
commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding. All references in this Agreement to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries shall include such entity as debtor in possession or any receiver or trustee for such entity.

  
 12.7 Further Assurances. Each Secured Creditor agrees
to take such further action and shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors such additional documents and instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or such other Secured Creditors may reasonably request to effectuate the terms of, and the priorities established by, this Section 12. In addition, if in connection with any refinancing or replacement of indebtedness under the
Credit Agreement, including as contemplated by the recitals hereof, the lenders or holders of the refinancing or replacement indebtedness require that such indebtedness be secured pursuant to separate security documents, each Secured Creditor agrees
to take such actions and execute and deliver such documents, agreements and instruments as may be necessary or advisable in order to effect and maintain the relative priorities and rankings of security interests, rights, remedies and payments as
contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, through intercreditor and subordination agreements. The Collateral Agent, for its part, agrees that it will from time to time upon the reasonable request of any Secured Creditor (and at the expense
of the Assignors), furnish to such Secured Creditors copies of financing statements covering the Collateral which have been filed and such other information with respect to the Collateral in the possession of the Collateral Agent as may reasonably
be requested by such Secured Creditor from time to time.

 ANNEX K 
 TO 
 SECURITY AGREEMENT 
  
 THE COLLATERAL AGENT1 
  
 1.
Appointment. The Secured Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits of the Security Agreement to which this Annex K is attached (the “Security Agreement”) hereby irrevocably designate Credit Suisse First Boston (and any
successor Collateral Agent) to act as specified herein and therein. Each Secured Creditor hereby irrevocable authorizes, and each holder of any Obligation by the acceptance of such Obligation and by the acceptance of the benefits of the Security
Agreement shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Security Agreement and any instruments and agreements referred to therein and to exercise such powers and to
perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its
duties hereunder or thereunder by or through its authorized agents, sub-agents or employees. The Collateral Agent, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby accepts such appointment created hereby upon the terms and conditions specified
herein. 
  
 2. Nature of Duties. (a) The Collateral Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or in the Security Agreement. The duties of the Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of this
Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other Secured Debt Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Creditor; and nothing in this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other Secured Debt Agreement, expressed or implied,
is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of the Security Agreement except as expressly set forth herein and therein. 
  
 (b) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges or
assessments or discharging of Liens upon the collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. 
  
 (c) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by any Assignor of any of the covenants or agreements
contained in the Security Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other Secured Debt Agreement. 
  
 (d) The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under, or with respect to, the Security Agreement if taking such action
(i) would subject the Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business, or obtain any license, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
qualified or licensed or (iii) would subject the Collateral Agent to in personam jurisdiction in any locations where it is not then so subject. 
  

	1	Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein (x) and defined in the Security Agreement, are used herein as therein defined and (y) not defined
in the Security Agreement, are used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced in the Security Agreement. 

 Annex K 
  

 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Annex K, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents shall, in its individual capacity, be personally liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or pursuant to this Annex K of, the Security Agreement, unless caused
by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Security Agreement or this Annex K, the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for perfecting,
or maintaining the priority of, the Liens created pursuant to the Security Agreement. 
  
 3. Lack of Reliance on the Collateral Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, each Secured Creditor, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its
own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Assignor and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Obligations and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and
(ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Assignor and its Subsidiaries, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Creditor with any credit or other
information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the extension of any Obligations or the purchase of any Notes or Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes or at any time or times thereafter. The Collateral Agent shall
not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever to any Secured Creditor for the correctness of any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein, in the other Secured Debt Agreements or in any document, certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the Security Agreement or the security interests granted
thereunder or the financial condition of any Assignor or any Subsidiary of any Assignor or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Security Agreement or any
other Secured Debt Agreement, or the financial condition of any Assignor or any Subsidiary of any Assignor, or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under any Secured Debt Agreement. The Collateral Agent makes no
representations as to the value or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, or as to the title of any Assignor thereto or as to the security afforded by the Security Agreement. 
  
 4. Certain Rights of the Collateral Agent. (a) No Secured Creditor shall have the right to take any action with
respect to (or against) any Collateral, or cause the Collateral Agent to take any action with respect to (or against) any Collateral, with only the Required Secured Creditors having the right to direct the Collateral Agent by written instruction in
accordance with Section 4(d) hereof to take any such action. Except for actions required to be taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Security Agreement, if the Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the Required Secured
Creditors with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Security Agreement and the Required Secured Creditors shall fail to instruct the Collateral Agent with respect to any act or action (including failure to
act 
  

 2 

 Annex K 
  

 and refrain from acting) in connection with the Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain
from such act or taking such action unless and until it shall have received express instructions from the Required Secured Creditors and to the extent requested, appropriate indemnification in respect of actions to be taken, and the Collateral Agent
shall not incur liability to any Secured Creditor or any other Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, (x) no Secured Creditor shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the
Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under the Security Agreement in accordance with the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors or as expressly provided in the Security Agreement and (y) without limiting preceding
clause (x), the Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Creditor or any other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under the Security Agreement, unless caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (and subject to Section 2(f) of this Annex K), the Collateral Agent is authorized, but not obligated, (i) to take any action reasonably required to perfect
or continue the perfection of the liens on the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and (ii) when instructions from the Required Secured Creditors have been requested by the Collateral Agent but have not yet been received, to take any
action which the Collateral Agent, in good faith, believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the interests of the Secured Creditors in the Collateral; provided that once instructions have been received, the actions of the
Collateral Agent shall be governed thereby and the Collateral Agent shall not take any further action which would be contrary thereto. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take or refrain
from taking, and shall have no liability to any Secured Creditor for taking or refraining from taking, any action that exposes or, in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may expose, the Collateral Agent or its officers, directors, agents
or employees to personal liability, unless the Collateral Agent shall be adequately indemnified as provided herein or that is, or in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may be, contrary to the Security Agreement, any other Secured Debt
Agreement or applicable law. 
  
 (d) For purposes of the Security
Agreement, each Secured Creditor shall appoint a Person as such Secured Creditor’s authorized representative (each, an “Authorized Representative”) for the purpose of giving or delivering any notices or instructions thereunder. Any
instructions given by the Required Secured Creditors to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be in writing signed by the Authorized Representative(s) of the various Secured Creditors comprising the Required Secured Creditors
with respect to such instructions and such instructions shall certify to and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent that the Secured Creditors issuing or delivering such instructions constitute the Required Secured Creditors for purposes of this
Section 4 and the instructions being delivered. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively and absolutely rely on such instructions and certification as to the identity of the Required Secured Creditors with respect to such instructions,
and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action, and shall not be liable to any Secured Creditor for failing or refusing to act, pursuant to any instructions which are not given or delivered by the 
  

 3 

 Annex K 
  

 Authorized Representatives of various Secured Creditors comprising the Required Secured Creditors with respect to
such instructions. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Authorized Representative of each of the Secured Creditors shall be (x) the Administrative Agent, in the case of the Lender Creditors, (y) the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes
Indenture Trustee, in the case of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Creditor (on behalf of the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Noteholders) and (z) in the case of any Other Creditor, such representative as may be designated by such
Other Creditor by written notice to the Collateral Agent from time to time. 
  
 5. Reliance; Interpretation. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon, any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or
telescopes message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper Person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining hereto or to the Security Agreement and its duties
thereunder and hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. If, in its good faith judgment, the Collateral Agent reasonably believes that any instructions given or delivered pursuant to the Security Agreement require judicial interpretation or
are invalid or otherwise contrary to the provisions of the Security Agreement, any other Secured Debt Agreement or applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to determine the validity of,
or otherwise interpret, any such instructions. In such event, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to carry out such instructions unless directed to do so, or it is determined that it may do so, by such court. 
  
 6. Indemnification. To the extent the Collateral Agent is not
reimbursed and indemnified by the Assignors under the Security Agreement, the Secured Creditors will reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent, in proportion to their respective outstanding principal amounts (including, for this purpose, the
Stated Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, as well as any unpaid Primary Obligations in respect of Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements, as outstanding principal) of Obligations, for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in performing its duties
hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of its actions as Collateral Agent in respect of the Security Agreement except for those resulting solely from the Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The indemnities set forth in this Section 6 shall survive the repayment of all Obligations, with the respective indemnification at such time to be based upon the
outstanding principal amounts (determined as described above) of Obligations at the time of the respective occurrence upon which the claim against the Collateral Agent is based or, if same is not reasonably determinable, based upon the outstanding
principal amounts (determined as described above) of Obligations as in effect immediately prior to the termination of the Security Agreement. The indemnities set forth in this Section 6 are in addition to any indemnities provided by the Lenders to
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, with the effect being that the Lenders shall be responsible for indemnifying the Collateral Agent to the extent the Collateral Agent does not receive payments pursuant to this Section 6 from the
Secured Creditors (although in such event, and upon the payment in full of all such amounts owing to the Collateral Agent by the Lenders, the Lenders shall be subrogated to any rights of the Collateral Agent to receive payment from the Secured
Creditors). 
  

 4 

 Annex K 
  

 7. The Collateral Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligations as a
lender under the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, and to act as agent under one or more of such Credit Documents, the Collateral Agent shall have the rights and powers specified therein and
herein for a “Lender”, or an “Agent”, as the case may be, and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,”
“holders of Notes,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. The Collateral Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and
generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with any Assignor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Assignor as if it were not performing the duties specified herein or in the other Credit Documents, and may
accept fees and other consideration from the Assignors for services in connection with the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Secured Creditors. 
  
 8. Holders. The Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of any
Note or the registered owner of any Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed
with the Collateral Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note or the registered owner of any Existing Senior Subordinated Secured
Note, shall be final and conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Note or of any Note or Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Note
issued in exchange therefor. 
  
 9. Resignation and Removal of
the Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all of its functions and duties hereunder and under the Security Agreement at any time by giving 30 Business Days’ prior or written notice to the U.S.
Borrower and the Secured Creditors. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (b) or (c) below. 
  

(b) If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been appointed within said 30 Business Day period by the Required Secured Creditors, the Collateral
Agent, with the consent (unless an Event of Default shall exist, in which case no such consent shall be required) of the U.S. Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent who
shall serve as Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Secured Creditors appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. 
  
 (c) If no successor Collateral Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) above by the 30th Business Day after the date of such notice of resignation was given by the Collateral Agent, as a result of a failure by the
U.S. Borrower to consent to the appointment of such a successor Collateral Agent, (i) the Required Secured Creditors shall then appoint a 

  

 5 

 Annex K 
  

 
successor Collateral Agent who shall serve as Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder or (ii) if the Required Secured Creditors shall have failed to appoint
a successor Collateral Agent by the 35th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may appoint (or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint) a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve as Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder, in either such case until such time, if any, as
the Required Secured Creditors appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Required Secured Creditors may remove the Collateral Agent by an instrument in writing executed by the Required Secured Creditors and, thereupon,
appoint a successor Collateral Agent designated by the Required Secured Creditors, effective as provided in Section 9(e) below. 
  
 (e) The resignation or removal of a Collateral Agent shall become effective only upon the execution and delivery of such documents or instruments as are
necessary to transfer the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement and the recording or filing of such documents, instruments or financing statements as may be necessary to maintain the priority and perfection of
any security interest granted by the Security Agreement. Copies of each such document or instrument shall be delivered to each of the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Existing Senior Subordinated Secured Notes Indenture Trustee. The
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9 shall become effective upon the acceptance of such appointment (and execution by such successor of the documents, instruments or financing statements referred to above) and such
successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent. 
  
 (f) After any resignation or removal hereunder of the Collateral Agent, the indemnification provisions specified in this Annex K and in the Security
Agreement shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with its agency hereunder while it was Collateral Agent. 
  
 10. Co-Collateral Agents; Separate Collateral Agents. (a) If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in
order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral shall be located, or the Collateral Agent shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is necessary or prudent in the interest of the Collateral Agent or the
Secured Creditors, then the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to appoint one or more sub-collateral agents or co-collateral agents, and in such case the Collateral Agent, the U.S. Borrower and each of the other Assignors having an interest in the
Collateral located in the jurisdiction in which such separate or sub-collateral agent or co-collateral agent is to act shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one
or more individuals approved by the Collateral Agent, either to act as co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents jointly with the Collateral Agent originally named herein or any successor or successors, or to act as a separate or sub-collateral
agent or agents of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors in respect of any or all of the Collateral. If the U.S. Borrower and each of the other Assignors having an interest in the Collateral located in the jurisdiction in which such
separate or sub-collateral agent or co-collateral agent is to act shall not have joined in the execution of such instruments or agreements within 10 days after the receipt of a written request from the 
  

 6 

 Annex K 
  

 
Collateral Agent so to do, or if a Default or an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent may act under the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10 without the concurrence of the U.S. Borrower and the other Assignors, and the U.S. Borrower and each of the other Assignors hereby irrevocably appoint the Collateral Agent as their agent and attorney to act for them under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 10 in either of such contingencies. 
  
 (b) Every separate or sub-collateral agent (and all references herein to a “separate collateral agent” shall be deemed to refer also to a “sub-collateral agent” or a “collateral sub-agent”) and every
co-collateral agent, other than any collateral agent which may be appointed as successor to any Collateral Agent, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be appointed and act and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions,
namely: 
  
 (i) all rights, remedies, powers,
duties and obligations conferred upon, reserved to or imposed upon the Collateral Agent in respect of the custody, control and management of monies, papers or securities shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent hereunder; 
  
 (ii) all rights, remedies, powers, duties and obligations
conferred upon, reserved to or imposed upon the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be conferred, reserved or imposed and exercised or performed by the Collateral Agent and such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral
agent or co-collateral agents, jointly or severally, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents, except to the extent that, under any
law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Collateral Agent shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, remedies, powers, duties and obligations shall be
exercised and performed by such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents; 
  
 (iii) no power given hereby to, or which it is provided hereby may be exercised by, any such separate collateral agent or separate
collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents shall be exercised hereunder by such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents except (subject to applicable law) jointly
with, or with the consent or at the direction in writing of, the Collateral Agent (which direction shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Security Agreement); 
  
 (iv) all provisions of the Security Agreement relating to the Collateral Agent or to releases of Collateral
shall apply to any such separate collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents; 
  
 (v) no collateral agent constituted under this Section 10 shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other
separate or co-collateral agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder; and 
  

 7 

 Annex K 
  

 (vi) the Collateral Agent at any time by an instrument in writing, executed by it,
may accept the resignation of any such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent and the Collateral Agent or the Required Secured Creditors may individually or jointly remove any such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, and in
that case, by an instrument in writing executed by the Collateral Agent or the Required Secured Creditors, as the case may be, and the Collateral Agent or the Required Secured Creditors, as the case may be, may appoint a successor to such separate
collateral agent or co-collateral agent, as the case may be, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If the U.S. Borrower and each of the other Assignors shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within 10 days
after the receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent so to do, or if a Default or an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate collateral
agent or co-collateral agent and to appoint a successor to such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, as the case may be, and to execute any such instrument without the concurrence of the U.S. Borrower or such other Assignor, and the
U.S. Borrower and each of the other Assignors hereby irrevocably appoint the Collateral Agent their agent and attorney to act for them in such connection in either of such contingencies. If the Collateral Agent shall have appointed a separate
collateral agent or separate collateral agents or co-collateral agent or co-collateral agents as above provided, the Collateral Agent may at any time, by an instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or remove any such separate collateral
agent or co-collateral agent, the successor to any such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent to be appointed by the U.S. Borrower and each of the other Assignors and the Collateral Agent, or by the Collateral Agent alone, as hereinabove
provided in this Section 10.

 ANNEX M 
 TO 
 SECURITY AGREEMENT 
  
 FORM OF CONTROL AGREEMENT REGARDING DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS 
  
 AGREEMENT (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, this
“Agreement”), dated as of                          ,
        , among the undersigned assignor (the “Assignor”) CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, acting through its Cayman Islands Branch, not in its individual capacity but solely as Collateral
Agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and                      (the “Deposit Account Bank”), as the bank (as
defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect on the date hereof in the State of
                             (the “UCC”)) with which one or more deposit accounts (as
defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) are maintained by the Assignor (with all such deposit accounts now or at any time in the future maintained by the Assignor with the Deposit Account Bank being herein called the “Deposit
Accounts”). 
  
 W I T N
E S S E T H : 
  
 WHEREAS, the Assignor, various other Assignors and the Collateral Agent have entered into a Security Agreement, dated as of November     , 2003 (as amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time
to time, the “Security Agreement”), under which, among other things, in order to secure the payment of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), the Assignor has granted a security interest to the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Security Agreement) in all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor in and into any and all deposit accounts (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) and in all monies, securities,
instruments and other investments deposited therein from time to time (collectively, herein called the “Collateral”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Assignor desires that the Deposit Account Bank enter into this Agreement in order to establish “control” (as defined in Section
9-104 of the UCC) in each Deposit Account at any time or from time to time maintained with the Deposit Account Bank, and to provide for the rights of the parties under this Agreement with respect to such Deposit Accounts; 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and
agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Assignor’s Dealings with Deposit Accounts; Notice of Exclusive Control. Until the Deposit Account Bank shall
have received from the Collateral Agent a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below), the Assignor shall be entitled to present items drawn on and otherwise to withdraw or direct the disposition of funds from the Deposit Accounts and give
instructions in respect of the Deposit Accounts; provided, however, that the Assignor may not, and the Deposit Account Bank agrees that it shall not permit the Assignor to, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent,
close any Deposit Account. If the Collateral Agent shall give to the Deposit Account Bank a notice of the Collateral Agent’s exclusive control of the Deposit Accounts, which notice states that it is a “Notice of Exclusive Control” (a
“Notice of Exclusive Control”), only the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Deposit Accounts, to give any instructions in respect of the Deposit Accounts and any funds held therein or credited thereto or
otherwise to deal with the Deposit Accounts. 

 Annex M 
  

 2. Collateral Agent’s Right to Give Instructions as to Deposit Accounts. (a)
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any separate agreement that the Assignor may have with the Deposit Account Bank, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, for purposes of this Agreement, at any time to
give the Deposit Account Bank instructions as to the withdrawal or disposition of any funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account, or as to any other matters relating to any Deposit Account or any other Collateral, without further
consent from the Assignor. The Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Deposit Account Bank, and the Deposit Account Bank hereby agrees, to comply with any such instructions from the Collateral Agent without any further consent from
the Assignor. Such instructions may include the giving of stop payment orders for any items being presented to any Deposit Account for payment. The Deposit Account Bank shall be fully entitled to rely on, and shall comply with, such instructions
from the Collateral Agent even if such instructions are contrary to any instructions or demands that the Assignor may give to the Deposit Account Bank. In case of any conflict between instructions received by the Deposit Account Bank from the
Collateral Agent and the Assignor, the instructions from the Collateral Agent shall prevail. 
  
 (b) It is understood and agreed that after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control the Deposit Account Bank’s duty to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent regarding the Deposit Accounts is
absolute, and the Deposit Account Bank shall be under no duty or obligation, nor shall it have the authority, to inquire or determine whether or not such instructions are in accordance with the Security Agreement or any other Credit Document (as
defined in the Security Agreement), nor seek confirmation thereof from the Assignor or any other Person. 
  
 3. Assignor’s Exculpation and Indemnification of Depository Bank. The Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Deposit Account
Bank, after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, to follow instructions from the Collateral Agent regarding the Deposit Accounts even if the result of following such instructions from the Collateral Agent is that the Deposit Account Bank
dishonors items presented for payment from any Deposit Account. The Assignor further confirms that the Deposit Account Bank shall have no liability to the Assignor for wrongful dishonor of such items in following such instructions from the
Collateral Agent. The Deposit Account Bank shall have no duty to inquire or determine whether the Assignor’s obligations to the Collateral Agent are in default or whether the Collateral Agent is entitled, under any separate agreement between
the Assignor and the Collateral Agent, to give any such instructions. The Assignor further agrees to be responsible for the Deposit Account Bank’s customary charges and to indemnify the Deposit Account Bank from and to hold the Deposit Account
Bank harmless against any loss, cost or expense that the Deposit Account Bank may sustain or incur in acting upon instructions which the Deposit Account Bank believes in good faith to be instructions from the Collateral Agent. 
  
 4. Subordination of Security Interests; Deposit Account Bank’s
Recourse to Deposit Accounts. The Deposit Account Bank hereby subordinates any claims and security interests it may have against, or with respect to, any Deposit Account at any time established or 
  

 2 

 Annex M 
  

 maintained with it by the Assignor (including any amounts, investments, instruments or other Collateral from time to
time on deposit therein) to the security interests of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Creditors) therein, and agrees that no amounts shall be charged by it to, or withheld or set-off or otherwise recouped by it from, any Deposit
Account of the Assignor or any amounts, investments, instruments or other Collateral from time to time on deposit therein; provided that the Deposit Account Bank may, however, from time to time debit the Deposit Accounts for any of its
customary charges in maintaining the Deposit Accounts or for reimbursement for the reversal of any provisional credits granted by the Deposit Account Bank to any Deposit Account, to the extent, in each case, that the Assignor has not separately paid
or reimbursed the Deposit Account Bank therefor.1 
  
 5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Deposit Account Bank. The Deposit Account Bank represents and
warrants to the Collateral Agent that: 
  
 (a) The Deposit
Account Bank constitutes a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC), that the jurisdiction (determined in accordance with Section 9-304 of the UCC) of the Deposit Account Bank for purposes of each Deposit Account maintained by the
Assignor with the Deposit Account Bank shall be one or more States within the United States. 
  
 (b) The Deposit Account Bank shall not permit any Assignor to establish any demand, time, savings, passbook or other account with it which it does not constitute a “deposit account” (as defined in Section
9-102 of the UCC). 
  
 (c) The account agreements between the
Deposit Account Bank and the Assignor relating to the establishment and general operation of the Deposit Accounts provide, whether specifically or generally, that the laws of
                    2 govern secured transactions relating to the Deposit Accounts and that the Deposit Account Bank’s “jurisdiction” for purposes of Section 9-304 of the UCC in respect of the Deposit Accounts is
                            .3 The Deposit Account Bank will not, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, amend any such account agreement so that the Deposit Account
Bank’s jurisdiction for purposes of Section 9-304 of the UCC is other than a jurisdiction permitted pursuant to preceding clause (a). All account agreements in respect of each Deposit Account in existence on the date hereof are listed on Annex
A hereto and copies of all such account agreements have been furnished to the Collateral Agent. The Borrower or the Deposit Account Bank will promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a copy of the account agreement for each Deposit Account hereafter
established by the Deposit Account Bank for the Assignor. 
  

	1	If the respective Deposit Account Bank is unwilling to agree to this paragraph, or substantially similar terms reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, then
the Collateral Agent may take the actions described in Section 3.9 of the Security Agreement. If the Deposit Account Bank does not agree to subordinations, its security interests in the Deposit Accounts maintained with it will have priority over the
Collateral Agent’s security interests therein under Section 9-327 of Revised Article 9. 

	2	Inserted jurisdiction(s) must be consistent with requirements of preceding clause (a). 

	3	See footnote 2.

Person by which the Deposit Account Bank is obligated to comply with instructions from such other Person as to the disposition of funds from any Deposit Account or other dealings with any Deposit Account or other of the Collateral. 
  
 (e) On the date hereof the Deposit Account Bank maintains no Deposit Accounts
for the Assignor other than the Deposit Accounts specifically identified in Annex A hereto.

established by the Deposit Account Bank for the Assignor in accordance with this Agreement. 
  
 (g) The Borrower or the Deposit Account Bank will promptly notify the Collateral Agent of each Deposit Account hereafter established by the Deposit Account Bank for the Assignor (which notice shall specify the account
number of such Deposit Account and the location at which the Deposit Account is maintained), and each such new Deposit Account shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects. 
  
 6. Deposit Account Statements and Information. The Deposit Account
Bank agrees, and is hereby authorized and instructed by the Assignor, to furnish to the Collateral Agent, at its address indicated below, copies of all account statements and other information relating to each Deposit Account that the Deposit
Account Bank sends to the Assignor and to disclose to the Collateral Agent all information reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent regarding any Deposit Account.

Account Bank and the Assignor.

resulting from any merger to which the Deposit Account Bank shall be a party, shall be the successor of the Deposit Account Bank hereunder and shall be bound by all provisions hereof which are binding upon the Deposit Account Bank and shall be

securities or property (including, but not limited to, cash (although such cash may be paid directly to the respective Pledgor so long as no Event of Default then exists)) paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral by way of stock-split,
spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar rearrangement; and 
  
 (iii) all other or additional stock, notes, certificates, limited liability company interests, partnership interests, instruments or other
securities or property (including, but not limited to, cash) which may be paid in respect of the Collateral by reason of any consolidation, merger, exchange of stock, conveyance of assets, liquidation or similar corporate or other reorganization.

  

 13 

 Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall limit or restrict in any way the Pledgee’s right to receive the proceeds
of the Collateral in any form in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. All dividends, distributions or other payments which are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). 
  
 7. REMEDIES IN CASE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR A SPECIFIED DEFAULT. (a) If
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, then and in every such case, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, by any other Secured Debt
Agreement or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
relevant jurisdiction and also shall be entitled, without limitation, to exercise the following rights, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable: 
  
 (i) to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral otherwise payable under Section 6 hereof to
the respective Pledgor; 
  
 (ii) to transfer all
or any part of the Collateral into the Pledgee’s name or the name of its nominee or nominees; 
  
 (iii) to accelerate any Pledged Note which may be accelerated in accordance with its terms, and take any other lawful action to collect
upon any Pledged Note (including, without limitation, to make any demand for payment thereon); 
  
 (iv) to vote (and exercise all rights and powers in respect of voting) all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into
the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing
the Pledgee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so); 
  
 (v) at any time and from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral, or any
interest therein, at any public or private sale, without demand of performance, advertisement or, notice of intention to sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or otherwise purchase or dispose (all of which are
hereby waived by each Pledgor), for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its absolute discretion may
determine, provided at least 10 days’ written notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to the respective Pledgor. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any such sale of Collateral regardless of whether any such
notice of 

  

 14 

 
sale has theretofore been given. Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with
respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee on
behalf of the Secured Creditors may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor shall be liable for failure to collect or realize
upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall any of them be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto; and 
  
 (vi) to set off any and all Collateral against any and all Obligations, and to withdraw any and all cash or
other Collateral from any and all Collateral Accounts and to apply such cash and other Collateral to the payment of any and all Obligations. 
  
 (b) If there shall have occurred and be continuing a Specified Default, then and in every such case, the Pledgee shall be entitled to vote (and exercise
all rights and powers in respect of voting) all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect
thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so). 
  
 8. REMEDIES, CUMULATIVE, ETC. Each and every right, power and remedy of the
Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured Debt Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other
Secured Creditor to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. Unless otherwise required by the Credit Documents, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Secured Creditors agree that this
Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Pledgee, in each case, acting upon the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors, and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this
Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. (a) All monies collected by the Pledgee upon any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, 

  

 15 

 
together with all other monies received by the Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 8.4(b) of the Security Agreement for
“Excluded Collateral”. 
  
 (b) It is understood and
agreed that each Pledgor shall remain jointly and severally liable with respect to its Obligations to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the aggregate amount of such
Obligations. 
  
 10. PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. Upon any sale of
the Collateral by the Pledgee hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Pledgee or the officer making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser
or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication
or nonapplication thereof. 
  
 11. INDEMNITY. Each Pledgor
jointly and severally agrees (i) to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Pledgee and each other Secured Creditor and their respective successors, assigns, employees, agents and affiliates (individually an “Indemnitee”, and
collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, liabilities for penalties) of whatsoever
kind or nature, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in each case pursuant to subclause (i) or (ii) above, arising out of or resulting
from this Agreement or the exercise by any Indemnitee of any right or remedy granted to it hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Agreement (but excluding any obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands, losses, judgments and
liabilities (including, without limitation, liabilities for penalties) or expenses of whatsoever kind or nature to the extent incurred or arising by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). In no event shall the Pledgee hereunder be liable, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
and non-appealable decision), for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to account for monies or other property actually received by it in accordance with the terms hereof. If and to the extent that the obligations of any
Pledgor under this Section 11 are unenforceable for any reason, such Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The indemnity obligations of
each Pledgor contained in this Section 11 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all the Notes issued under the Credit Agreement, the termination of all Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging
Agreements and Letters of Credit, and the payment of all other Obligations and notwithstanding the discharge thereof. 
  
 12. PLEDGEE NOT A PARTNER OR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY MEMBER. (a) Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor
liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any
of the duties, obligations or 

  

 16 

 
liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Pledgee
shall become the absolute owner of Collateral consisting of a Limited Liability Company Interest or a Partnership Interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Pledgee, any other
Secured Creditor, any Pledgor and/or any other Person. 
  
 (b)
Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 12, the Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to become a member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership or otherwise be deemed to be a
co-venturer with respect to any Pledgor, any limited liability company, partnership and/or any other Person either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred. The Pledgee shall have only those powers set forth herein and the Secured
Creditors shall assume none of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership or any Pledgor except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.

  
 (c) The Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors shall not be
obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of any Pledgor as a result of the pledge hereby effected. 
  
 (d) The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any
event obligate the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any
expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral. 
  
 13. FURTHER ASSURANCES; POWER-OF-ATTORNEY. (a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will join with the Pledgee in executing and, at such Pledgor’s own expense, file and refile under the UCC or other applicable law such
financing statements, continuation statements and other documents, in form reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee, in such offices as the Pledgee (acting on its own or on the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors) may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate and wherever required or permitted by law in order to perfect and preserve the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral hereunder and hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file financing statements and amendments
thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral (including, without limitation, (x) financing statements which list the Collateral specifically and/or “all assets” as collateral and (y) “in lieu of” financing statements)
without the signature of such Pledgor where permitted by law, and agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Pledgee such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Pledgee may reasonably
require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto the Pledgee its rights, powers and remedies hereunder or thereunder. 
  
 (b) Each Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints the Pledgee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, with full
authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the Pledgee’s discretion, to act, require, demand,
receive and give acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies due or to become due to such Pledgor under or arising out of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or 

  

 17 

 
orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings and to execute any instrument which the Pledgee may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an interest. 
  
 14. THE PLEDGEE AS COLLATERAL AGENT. The Pledgee will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this
Agreement and will act with reasonable care with respect thereto. It is expressly understood, acknowledged and agreed by each Secured Creditor that by accepting the benefits of this Agreement each such Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that
the obligations of the Pledgee as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in Section 12 of the Credit
Agreement. The Pledgee shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 15. TRANSFER BY THE PLEDGORS. Except as permitted (i) prior to the Credit Document Obligations Termination Date, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and
(ii) thereafter, pursuant to the other Secured Debt Agreements, no Pledgor will sell or otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Collateral or any interest therein (except in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Secured Debt Agreements). 
  
 16. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGORS. (a) Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as to itself and each of its Subsidiaries that, except as contemplated by Section 13.19 of the Credit
Agreement: 
  
 (i) it is the legal, beneficial
and record owner of, and has good and marketable title to, all of its Collateral consisting of one or more Securities, Partnership Interests and Limited Liability Company Interests and that it has sufficient interest in all of its Collateral in
which a security interest is purported to be created hereunder for such security interest to attach (subject, in each case, to no pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option, Adverse Claim or other encumbrance
whatsoever, except the liens and security interests created by this Agreement or permitted under the Secured Debt Agreements); 
  
 (ii) it has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all the Collateral pledged by it pursuant to this Agreement; 
  
 (iii) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Pledgor enforceable against such Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); 
  
 (iv) except to the extent already obtained or made, no
consent of any other party (including, without limitation, any stockholder, partner, member or creditor of such 

  

 18 

 
Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries) and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing
or declaration with, any governmental authority is required to be obtained by such Pledgor in connection with (a) the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Pledgor, (b) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement against
such Pledgor (except as set forth in clause (iii) above), (c) the perfection or enforceability of the Pledgee’s security interest in such Pledgor’s Collateral or (d) except for compliance with or as may be required by applicable securities
laws, the exercise by the Pledgee of any of its rights or remedies provided herein; 
  
 (v) neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Pledgor of this Agreement, or any other Secured Debt Agreement to which it is a
party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein: (i) will contravene any material provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation, or any
applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental instrumentality, domestic or foreign, applicable to such Pledgor; (ii) will conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the properties or assets of
such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, loan agreement or any other material agreement, contract or other instrument to which such Pledgor or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or is otherwise bound, or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound or to which it may be subject; or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of partnership,
partnership agreement, certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement (or equivalent organizational documents), as the case may be, of such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (vi) all of such Pledgor’s Collateral (consisting of
Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests and Partnership Interests) has been duly and validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable and is subject to no options to purchase or similar rights; 
  
 (vii) each of such Pledgor’s Pledged Notes consisting
of Intercompany Notes and, to each Pledgor’s knowledge, each of such Pledgor’s Pledged Notes consisting of all other promissory notes, constitutes, or when executed by the obligor thereof will constitute, the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such obligor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); 
  
 (viii) the pledge, collateral assignment and delivery to the Pledgee of such Pledgor’s Collateral consisting of Certificated
Securities and Pledged Notes (other than Non-Deliverable Notes) pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in such Certificated Securities and Pledged Notes, and the proceeds thereof, subject to no
prior Lien or encumbrance or to any agreement purporting 

  

 19 

 
to grant to any third party a Lien or encumbrance on the property or assets of such Pledgor which would include the Securities (other than the liens and
security interests permitted under the Secured Debt Agreements then in effect) and the Pledgee is entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the UCC or other relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfect
security interests in respect of such Collateral; and 
  
 (ix) “control” (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) has been obtained by the Pledgee over all of such Pledgor’s Collateral consisting of Securities (including, without limitation, Notes (other than Non-Deliverable Notes)
which are Securities) with respect to which such “control” may be obtained pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC, except to the extent that the obligation of the applicable Pledgor to provide the Pledgee with “control” of such
Collateral has not yet arisen under this Agreement; provided that in the case of the Pledgee obtaining “control” over Collateral consisting of a Security Entitlement, such Pledgor shall have taken all steps in its control so that
the Pledgee obtains “control” over such Security Entitlement. 
  
 (b) Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will defend the Pledgee’s right, title and security interest in and to such Pledgor’s Collateral and the proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever; and
each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will have like title to and right to pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the Pledgee by such Pledgor as Collateral hereunder and will likewise defend the right thereto and security
interest therein of the Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors. 
  
 (c) Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will take no action which would violate any of the terms of any Secured Debt Agreement. 
  
 17. LEGAL NAMES; TYPE OF ORGANIZATION (AND WHETHER A REGISTERED ORGANIZATION AND/OR A TRANSMITTING UTILITY); JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION; LOCATION;
ORGANIZATIONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS; CHANGES THERETO; ETC. The exact legal name of each Pledgor, the type of organization of such Pledgor, whether or not such Pledgor is a Registered Organization, the jurisdiction of organization of such Pledgor,
such Pledgor’s Location, the organizational identification number (if any) of each Pledgor, and whether or not such Pledgor is a Transmitting Utility, is listed on Annex A hereto for such Pledgor. No Pledgor shall change its legal name, its
type of organization, its status as a Registered Organization (in the case of a Registered Organization), its status as a Transmitting Utility or as a Person which is not a Transmitting Utility, as the case may be, its jurisdiction of organization,
its Location, or its organizational identification number (if any), except that any such changes shall be permitted (so long as not in violation of the applicable requirements of the Secured Debt Agreements and so long as same do not involve (x) a
Registered Organization ceasing to constitute same or (y) any Pledgor changing its jurisdiction of organization or Location from the United States or a State thereof to a jurisdiction of organization or Location, as the case may be, outside the
United States or a State thereof) if (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice of each change to the information listed on Annex A (as adjusted for any subsequent changes thereto previously made
in accordance with this sentence), together with a supplement to Annex A which shall correct all information contained therein for such Pledgor, and (ii) in connection with 

  

 20 

 
the respective such change or changes, it shall have taken all action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interests of the
Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect. In addition, to the extent that any Pledgor does not have an organizational identification number on the date hereof and
later obtains one, such Pledgor shall promptly thereafter deliver a notification of the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number and shall take all actions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to the extent necessary
to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect. 
  
 18. PLEDGORS’ OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE, ETC. The obligations of each Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in
full force and effect (subject to the provisions of Section 20) without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (other than termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 20 hereof), including, without limitation: 
  
 (i) any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of, or addition or supplement to or deletion from any Secured Debt Agreement (other than this Agreement in accordance with its terms), or any other instrument or
agreement referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; 
  
 (ii) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such agreement or instrument including, without limitation, this Agreement (other than a waiver, consent or
extension with respect to this Agreement in accordance with its terms); 
  
 (iii) any furnishing of any additional security to the Pledgee or its assignee or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Pledgee or its assignee; 
  
 (iv) any limitation on any party’s liability or
obligations under any such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof; or 
  
 (v) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other
like proceeding relating to any Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any Pledgor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not such Pledgor shall have notice or
knowledge of any of the foregoing. 
  
 19. SALE OF COLLATERAL
WITHOUT REGISTRATION. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any Pledgor shall have received from the Pledgee a written request or requests that such Pledgor cause any registration, qualification or compliance under any
federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Collateral consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests, such Pledgor as soon as practicable and at its expense
will use its best efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use its best efforts 

  

 21 

 
to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of such Collateral consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests, including, without limitation, registration under the Securities Act, as then in effect (or any similar statute then in effect),
appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with any other governmental requirements; provided, that the Pledgee shall furnish to such Pledgor such information regarding the
Pledgee as such Pledgor may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. Each Pledgor will cause the Pledgee to be kept reasonably advised in writing as to the progress of each
such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish to the Pledgee such number of prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident thereto as the Pledgee from time to time may reasonably
request, and will indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Pledgee and all other Secured Creditors participating in the distribution of such Collateral consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests
against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused
by an untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Pledgor by the Pledgee or such other Secured Creditor expressly for use therein. 
  
 (b) If at any time when the Pledgee shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Collateral
consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 7 hereof, and such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the
Securities Act, as then in effect, the Pledgee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable in order that
such sale may legally be effected without such registration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion (i) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a
registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under such Securities Act, (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such
sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In the event of any such sale, the Pledgee
shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price which the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility
that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until the registration as aforesaid. 
  
 20. TERMINATION; RELEASE. (a) On the Termination Date (as defined below), this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth herein
including, without limitation, in Section 11 hereof shall survive any such termination) and the Pledgee, at the request and expense of such Pledgor, will execute and deliver to such Pledgor a proper instrument or instruments (including UCC
termination statements) acknowledging the 

  

 22 

 
satisfaction and termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, UCC termination statements and instruments of satisfaction, discharge and/or
reconveyance), and will duly release from the security interest created hereby and assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the
Pledgee and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement, together with any moneys at the time held by the Pledgee or any of its sub-agents hereunder and, with respect to any Collateral consisting of
an Uncertificated Security, a Partnership Interest or a Limited Liability Company Interest (other than an Uncertificated Security, Partnership Interest or Limited Liability Company Interest credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation or
Securities Intermediary), a termination of the agreement relating thereto executed and delivered by the issuer of such Uncertificated Security pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii) or by the respective partnership or limited liability company pursuant to
Section 3.2(a)(iv)(2). As used in this Agreement, “Termination Date” shall mean the date upon which the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated and all Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging
Agreements entitled to the benefits of this Agreement have been terminated, no Letter of Credit or Note (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is outstanding (and all Loans have been paid in full), all Letters of Credit have been terminated, and all
other Obligations (other than indemnities described in Section 11 hereof and described in Section 13.01 of the Credit Agreement, and any other indemnities set forth in any other Security Documents, in each case which are not then due and payable)
then due and payable have been paid in full. 
  
 (b) In the event
that any part of the Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of (to a Person other than a Credit Party) (x) at any time prior to the Credit Document Obligations Termination Date, in connection with a sale or disposition permitted by Section 9.02 of
the Credit Agreement or is otherwise released at the direction of the Required Secured Creditors or (y) at any time thereafter, to the extent permitted by the other Secured Debt Agreements then in effect, and in the case of clauses (x) and (y), the
proceeds of such sale or disposition (or from such release) are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or such other Secured Debt Agreement, as the case may be, to the extent required to be so applied, the Pledgee, at the
request and expense of such Pledgor, will duly release from the security interest created hereby (and will execute and deliver such documentation, including termination or partial release statements and the like in connection therewith) and assign,
transfer and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or released and as may be in the possession of the Pledgee (or, in the case of
Collateral held by any sub-agent designated pursuant to Section 4 hereto, such sub-agent) and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 (c) At any time that any Pledgor desires that Collateral be released as provided in the foregoing Section 20(a) or (b), it shall deliver to the Pledgee
(and the relevant sub-agent, if any, designated pursuant to Section 4 hereof) a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of such Pledgor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to Section 20(a) or (b) hereof.
If reasonably requested by the Pledgee (although the Pledgee shall have no obligation to make any such request), the relevant Pledgor shall furnish appropriate legal opinions (from counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee) to the effect set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

 24 

 
as parties hereto from time to time in accordance with Section 30 without the consent of any other Pledgor or of the Secured Creditors, (ii) Pledgors may be

defined below) of such Class; provided further, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in clause (iii) of the immediately preceding proviso, (x) the Required Secured Creditors may agree to modifications

Creditors” hereunder (either as part of an existing Class of Secured Creditors or as a newly created Class) and such changes shall not require the written consent of the Requisite Creditors of the various Classes, so long as such extension (and

termination of this Agreement) effected in accordance with the requirements of Section 20 or 32 of this Agreement, as the case may be. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Class” shall mean each class of Secured Creditors with

outstanding from time to time under the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements (as determined by the Pledgee in such reasonable manner as is acceptable to it). 
  
 23. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i)
remain in full force and effect, subject to release and/or termination as set forth in Section 20, (ii) be binding upon each Pledgor, its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Pledgor shall assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (with the prior written consent of the Required Secured Creditors), and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Pledgee hereunder, to the benefit of the
Pledgee, the other Secured Creditors and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. All agreements, statements, representations and warranties made by each Pledgor herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by such Pledgor
or on its behalf under this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Creditors and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Secured Debt Agreements regardless of any investigation made by
the Secured Creditors or on their behalf. 
  
 24. HEADINGS
DESCRIPTIVE. The headings of the several Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE PLEDGEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY SECURED
CREDITOR, TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY PLEDGOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
  
 (b) EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF

 26 

 26. PLEDGOR’S DUTIES. It is expressly agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, that each Pledgor shall remain liable to perform all of the obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the Collateral and the Pledgee shall not have any obligations or liabilities with respect to any Collateral by reason of
or arising out of this Agreement, except for the safekeeping of Collateral actually in Pledgor’s possession, nor shall the Pledgee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Pledgor under or with
respect to any Collateral. 
  
 27. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A
set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with each Pledgor and the Pledgee. 
  
 28. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 
  
 29. RECOURSE. This Agreement is made with full
recourse to each Pledgor and pursuant to and upon all the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements on the part of such Pledgor contained herein and in the other Secured Debt Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or
therewith. 
  
 30. ADDITIONAL PLEDGORS. It is understood and
agreed that any Subsidiary of Holdings that is required to become a party to this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall become a Pledgor hereunder by (x) executing a
counterpart hereof and/or a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Pledgee and delivering same to the Pledgee, (y) delivering supplements to Annexes A through G, hereto as are necessary to cause such Annexes to be complete and
accurate with respect to such additional Pledgor on such date and (z) taking all actions as specified in this Agreement as would have been taken by such Pledgor had it been an original party to this Agreement, in each case with all documents
required above to be delivered to the Pledgee and with all documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Pledgee. 
  
 31. LIMITED OBLIGATIONS. It is the desire and intent of each Pledgor and the Secured Creditors that this Agreement shall be enforced against each Pledgor
to the fullest extent permissible under the laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in furtherance of the foregoing, it is noted that the obligations of each
Pledgor constituting a Subsidiary Guarantor have been limited as provided in the Subsidiaries Guaranty. 
  
 32. RELEASE OF PLEDGORS. If at any time all of the Equity Interests of any Pledgor owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are sold (to a Person
other than a Credit Party) in a transaction permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement (and which does not 

  

 27 

 
violate the terms of any other Secured Debt Agreement then in effect), then, such Pledgor shall be released as a Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement without
any further action hereunder (it being understood that the sale of all of the Equity Interests in any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests in any Pledgor shall be deemed to be a sale of all of the Equity Interests in
such Pledgor for purposes of this Section), and the Pledgee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver such instruments of release as are reasonably satisfactory to it. At any time that the Borrower desires that a Pledgor be released from
this Agreement as provided in this Section 32, the Borrower shall deliver to the Pledgee a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of the Borrower stating that the release of such Pledgor is permitted pursuant to this Section 32. If
requested by Pledgee (although the Pledgee shall have no obligation to make any such request), the Borrower shall furnish legal opinions (from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee, which include jurisdictionally qualified in-house counsel)
to the effect set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The Pledgee shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor as a result of the release of any Pledgor by it in accordance with, or which it believes to be in accordance
with, this Section 32.

 Form of Agreement Regarding Uncertificated Securities, Limited Liability 
 Company Interests and Partnership Interests 
  
 AGREEMENT (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of
[                     , 200_], among the undersigned pledgor (the “Pledgor”), CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, acting
through its Cayman Islands Branch, not in its individual capacity but solely as Collateral Agent (the “Pledgee”), and [            ], as the issuer of the
Uncertificated Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests and/or Partnership Interests (each as defined below) (the “Issuer”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H : 
  
 WHEREAS, the Pledgor, certain of its affiliates and the Pledgee have entered into a Pledge Agreement, dated as of November
        , 2003 (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”), under which, among other things, in order to secure the payment of the
Obligations (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), the Pledgor has or will pledge to the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), and grant a security interest in favor of the Pledgee for the benefit of
the Secured Creditors in, all of the right, title and interest of the Pledgor in and to any and all [“uncertificated securities” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(18) of the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the State of New York)
(“Uncertificated Securities”)] [Partnership Interests (as defined in the Pledge Agreement)] [Limited Liability Company Interests (as defined in the Pledge Agreement)], from time to time by the Issuer, whether now existing or
hereafter from time to time acquired by the Pledgor (with all of such [Uncertificated Securities] [Partnership Interests] [Limited Liability Company Interests] being herein collectively called the “Issuer Pledged Interests”); and

  
 WHEREAS, the Pledgor desires the Issuer to enter into this
Agreement in order to perfect the security interest of the Pledgee under the Pledge Agreement in the Issuer Pledged Interests, to vest in the Pledgee control of the Issuer Pledge Interests and to provide for the rights of the parties under this
Agreement; 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and
the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Issuer, and the
Issuer hereby agrees, to comply with any and all instructions and orders originated by the Pledgee (and its successors and assigns) regarding any and all of the Issuer Pledged Interests without the further consent by the registered owner (including
the Pledgor), and, following its receipt of a notice from the Pledgee stating that the Pledgee is exercising “exclusive control” of the Issuer Pledged Interests, not to comply with any instructions or orders regarding any or all of the
Issuer Pledged Interests originated by any person or entity other than the Pledgee (and its successors and assigns) or a court of competent jurisdiction. 

 2. The Issuer hereby certifies that (i) no notice of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance or
claim affecting the Issuer Pledged Interests (other than the security interest of the Pledgee) has been received by it, and (ii) the security interest of the Pledgee in the Issuer Pledged Interests has been registered in the books and records of the
Issuer. 
  
 3. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that (i)
the pledge by the Pledgor of, and the granting by the Pledgor of a security interest in, the Issuer Pledged Interests to the Pledgee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, does not violate the charter, by-laws, partnership agreement, membership
agreement or any other agreement governing the Issuer or the Issuer Pledged Interests, and (ii) the Issuer Pledged Interests consisting of capital stock of a corporation are fully paid and nonassessable. 
  
 4. All notices, statements of accounts, reports, prospectuses, financial

 5. Following its receipt of a notice from the Pledgee stating that the Pledgee is exercising “exclusive control” of the Issuer Pledged Interests
and until the Pledgee shall have delivered written notice to the Issuer that all of the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated, the Issuer will send any and all redemptions, distributions, interest or other payments in
respect of the Issuer Pledged Interests from the Issuer for the account of the Pledgee only by wire transfers to such account as the Pledgee shall instruct.

shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall prove to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be severable from the other provisions of this
Agreement which shall remain binding on all parties hereto. None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever except in writing signed by the Pledgee, the Issuer and the Pledgor.
