(a) In recognition of the direct and indirect benefits to be received by Guarantors from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters
of Credit and by virtue of the financial accommodations to be made to Borrower, each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety the full and prompt
payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, of all of the Guarantied Obligations. If any or all of the Obligations constituting Guarantied Obligations becomes due and payable, each of the Guarantors, unconditionally and
irrevocably, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality, promises to pay such indebtedness to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, together with any and all expenses (including Lender Group Expenses) that may
be incurred by Agent or any other member of the Lender Group in demanding, enforcing, or collecting any of the Guarantied Obligations (including the enforcement of any collateral for such Guarantied Obligations or any collateral for the obligations
of the Guarantors under this Guaranty). If claim is ever made upon Agent or any other member of the Lender Group for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment of or on account of any or all of the Guarantied Obligations and
any of Agent or any other member of the Lender Group repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property, or

settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon the Guarantors, notwithstanding any revocation (or purported revocation) of this Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Grantor, and the Guarantors shall be and remain liable to
the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee. 

(b) Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guarantied Obligations to
Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, whether or not due or payable by any Loan Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 8.4 or 8.5 of the Credit Agreement, and irrevocably and
unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, without the requirement of demand, protest, or any other notice or other formality, in lawful money of the United States. 

(c) The liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder is primary, absolute, and unconditional, and is independent of any security for or other
guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations, whether executed by any other Guarantor or by any other Person, and the liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (i) any payment on, or in reduction of, any such
other guaranty or undertaking, (ii) any dissolution, termination, or increase, decrease, or change in personnel by any Grantor, (iii) any payment made to Agent or any other member of the Lender Group on account of the Obligations which
Agent or such other member of the Lender Group repays to any Grantor pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy,

Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (iv) any action or inaction by Agent or any other member of the Lender Group, or (v) any invalidity, irregularity,
avoidability, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations or of any security therefor. 
 (d) This Guaranty includes all
present and future Guarantied Obligations including any under transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guarantied Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and
conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guarantied Obligations after prior Guarantied Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this
Guaranty as to future Guarantied Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been
received by Agent, (ii) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by Agent of such written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the
interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (iii) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of
any member of the Lender Group in existence on the date of such revocation, (iv) no payment by any Guarantor, Borrower, or from any other source, prior to the date of Agent’s receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the
maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder, and (v) any payment by Borrower or from any source other than such Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Guarantied Obligations as to
which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its
successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Group) and its successors, transferees, or assigns. 

(e) The guaranty by each of the Guarantors hereunder is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The obligations of each of the Guarantors
hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or Grantor or any other Person and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against one or more of the Guarantors whether or not action is brought against any
other Guarantor or Grantor or any other Person and whether or not any other Guarantor or Grantor or any other Person be joined in any such action or actions. Each of the Guarantors waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any
statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Grantor or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Grantor shall operate to toll the statute of limitations
as to each of the Guarantors.

and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

of, renew, increase, accelerate, or alter: (A) any of the Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon); or (B) any security therefor or any liability incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Guaranty shall apply to the Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, or altered; 

(ii) take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon, collect, settle,
or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure the Obligations or any of the Guarantied Obligations (including any of the obligations of all or any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty)
incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, or any offset on account thereof;

any rights against any Grantor;

(vi) apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any liability or liabilities of any Grantor to Agent or any other member of the
Lender Group regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Grantor remain unpaid;

instruments or agreements; or 
 (viii) take any other action that could, under otherwise applicable principles of law, give rise to a legal
or equitable discharge of one or more of the Guarantors from all or part of its liabilities under this Guaranty. 
 (g) It is not necessary
for Agent or any other member of the Lender Group to inquire into the capacity or powers of any of the Guarantors or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guarantied hereunder. 
 (h) Each Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees
that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any
member of the Lender Group with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guarantied 

  
 10 

 
Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other
Guarantor or whether any other Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defense it

any security therefor; 
 (vi) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any

sureties; 
 (vii) any change, restructuring, or termination of the corporate, limited liability company, or partnership structure or

waives any and all claims or defenses that any aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable or otherwise fails to comply with applicable law. Agent may exercise any other right or remedy Agent or any other member of the Lender Group may have
against any Grantor or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any of the Guarantors hereunder except to the extent the Guarantied Obligations have been paid.

advise any of the Guarantors of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives: (A) any right to assert against any member of the Lender Group, any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which each Guarantor may now
or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable to any member of the Lender Group; (B) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or
indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any security therefor; (C) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election
of remedies by any member of the Lender Group including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Guarantor against Borrower or other
guarantors or sureties; and (D) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations
applicable to the Guarantied Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder. 

(iv) No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Grantor or any other guarantor that arise from the
existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or
remedy of Agent or any other member of the Lender Group against 

  
 12 

 
any Grantor or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive
from any Grantor or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and
until all of the Guarantied Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and all of the Commitments have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the
immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, and shall forthwith be paid to Agent to be credited and applied to the Guarantied Obligations and all other amounts
payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guarantied Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, no Guarantor may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with
respect to any property or asset of, any other Grantor (the “Foreclosed Grantor”), including after payment in full of the Obligations, if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of
remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of such Foreclosed Grantor whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. 
 (v) Each of the
Guarantors hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Guarantied Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, Guarantors shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder
notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Guarantor’s right to proceed against any Loan Party. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any
similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, each of the Guarantors hereby waives until such time as the Guarantied Obligations have been paid in full: 

(1) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become
available to the Guarantors by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899, and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction; 

(2) all rights and defenses that the Guarantors may have because the Guarantied Obligations are secured by Real Property located in
California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) Agent, the other members of the Lender Group may collect from the Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower or any other Grantor, and
(B) if Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, forecloses on any Real Property collateral pledged by Borrower or any other Grantor, (1) the amount of the Guarantied Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is
sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Lender Group may collect from the Guarantors even if, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, Agent or the other members of the Lender
Group have destroyed or impaired any right the Guarantors may have to collect from any other Grantor, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantors may have because the Guarantied
Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction); and 

  
 13 

 (3) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Agent, the other members
of the Lender Group, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Guarantied Obligations, has destroyed Guarantors’ rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Grantor by the
operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction or otherwise. 

(vi) Each of the Guarantors represents, warrants, and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its
significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

(vii) The provisions in this Section 2 which refer to certain sections of the California Civil Code are included in
this Guaranty solely out of an abundance of caution and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty. 

3. Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby unconditionally grants, assigns, and pledges to Agent, for the benefit of each member of the
Lender Group, to secure the Secured Obligations, a continuing security interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Security Interest”) in all of such Grantor’s right, title, and interest in and to the following, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located (the “Collateral”): 
 (a) all of such Grantor’s Accounts; 

(b) all of such Grantor’s Books; 

(c) all of such Grantor’s Chattel Paper; 

(d) all of such Grantor’s Commercial Tort Claims; 

(e) all of such Grantor’s Deposit Accounts; 

(f) all of such Grantor’s Equipment; 

(g) all of such Grantor’s Farm Products; 

(h) all of such Grantor’s Fixtures; 

(i) all of such Grantor’s General Intangibles; 

(j) all of such Grantor’s Inventory; 

(k) all of such Grantor’s Investment Property; 

  
 14 

 (l) all of such Grantor’s Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses; 

(m) all of such Grantor’s Negotiable Collateral (including all of such Grantor’s Pledged Notes); 

(n) all of such Grantor’s Pledged Interests (including all of such Grantor’s Pledged Operating Agreements and Pledged Partnership
Agreements); 
 (o) all of such Grantor’s Securities Accounts; 

(p) all of such Grantor’s Supporting Obligations; 

(q) all of such Grantor’s money, Cash Equivalents, or other assets of such Grantor that now or hereafter come into the possession,
custody, or control of Agent (or its agent or designee) or any other member of the Lender Group; and 
 (r) all of the proceeds (as such term
is defined in the Code) and products, whether tangible or intangible, of any of the foregoing, including proceeds of insurance or Commercial Tort Claims covering or relating to any or all of the foregoing, and any and all Accounts, Books, Chattel
Paper, Deposit Accounts, Equipment, Fixtures, General Intangibles, Inventory, Investment Property, Intellectual Property, Negotiable Collateral, Pledged Interests, Securities Accounts, Supporting Obligations, money, or other tangible or intangible
property resulting from the sale, lease, license, exchange, collection, or other disposition of any of the foregoing, the proceeds of any award in condemnation with respect to any of the foregoing, any rebates or refunds, whether for taxes or
otherwise, and all proceeds of any such proceeds, or any portion thereof or interest therein, and the proceeds thereof, and all proceeds of any loss of, damage to, or destruction of the above, whether insured or not insured, and, to the extent not
otherwise included, any indemnity, warranty, or guaranty payable by reason of loss or damage to, or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing (the “Proceeds”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term
“Proceeds” includes whatever is receivable or received when Investment Property or proceeds are sold, exchanged, collected, or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, and includes proceeds of any
indemnity or guaranty payable to any Grantor or Agent from time to time with respect to any of the Investment Property. 
 Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the term “Collateral” shall not include the following property (the “Excluded Property”): (i) voting Equity Interests of any CFC, solely to the extent that
(y) such Equity Interests represent more than 65% of the outstanding voting Equity Interests of such CFC, and (z) pledging or hypothecating more than 65% of the total outstanding voting Equity Interests of such CFC would result in adverse
tax consequences or the costs to the Grantors of providing such pledge are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Agent in consultation with Borrower) in relation to the benefits to Agent, the other members of the Lender Group of the security
afforded thereby (which pledge, if reasonably requested by Agent, shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of such Subsidiary); or (ii) any rights or interest in any contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement covering real
or personal property of any Grantor if under the terms 

  
 15 

 
of such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement, or applicable law with respect thereto, the grant of a security interest or lien therein is prohibited as a matter of law or under
the terms of such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement and such prohibition or restriction has not been waived or the consent of the other party to such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement has not been obtained
(provided, that, (A) the foregoing exclusions of this clause (ii) shall in no way be construed (1) to apply to the extent that any described prohibition or restriction is ineffective under
Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408, or 9-409 of the Code or other applicable law, or
(2) to apply to the extent that any consent or waiver has been obtained that would permit Agent’s security interest or lien to attach notwithstanding the prohibition or restriction on the pledge of such contract, lease, permit, license, or
license agreement and (B) the foregoing exclusions of clauses (i) and (ii) shall in no way be construed to limit, impair, or otherwise affect any of Agent’s, any other member of the Lender Group’s continuing security interests in
and liens upon any rights or interests of any Grantor in or to (1) monies due or to become due under or in connection with any described contract, lease, permit, license, license agreement, or Equity Interests (including any Accounts or Equity
Interests), or (2) any proceeds from the sale, license, lease, or other dispositions of any such contract, lease, permit, license, license agreement, or Equity Interests); or (iii) any United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark applications under applicable federal law, provided that upon submission and acceptance by the PTO of an amendment to allege use pursuant to 15 U.S.C.
Section 1060(a) (or any successor provision), such intent-to-use trademark application shall be considered Collateral. 

4. Security for Secured Obligations. The Security Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Grantors, or any of
them, to Agent, the Lender Group or any of them, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Grantor due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding.

 5. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each of the Grantors shall remain liable under
the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, including the Pledged Operating Agreements and the Pledged Partnership Agreements, to perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been
executed, (b) the exercise by Agent or any other member of the Lender Group of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and
(c) none of the members of the Lender Group shall have any obligation or liability under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall any of the members of the Lender Group be obligated to
perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantors thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. Until an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, Grantors shall have the right to possession and enjoyment of the Collateral for the purpose of conducting the ordinary course of their respective businesses, subject to and upon the terms
hereof and of the Credit Agreement 

  
 16 

 
and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that record and beneficial ownership of the Pledged Interests, including
all voting, consensual, dividend, and distribution rights, shall remain in the applicable Grantor until (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) Agent has notified the applicable Grantor of Agent’s election
to exercise such rights with respect to the Pledged Interests pursuant to Section 16. 
 6. Representations and
Warranties. In order to induce Agent to enter into this Agreement for the benefit of the Lender Group, each Grantor makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender Group which shall be true, correct, and complete, in all
material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the Closing Date, and shall be true, correct,

 (v) each Grantor has taken reasonable steps to maintain the

desirable to perfect and protect such security interest have been duly taken or will have been taken upon the filing of financing statements listing each applicable Grantor, as a debtor, and Agent, as secured party, in the jurisdictions listed next
to such Grantor’s name on Schedule 11. Upon the making of such filings, Agent shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral of each Grantor to the extent such security interest can be perfected by the filing

approvals, authorizations, or other orders or actions that have been obtained or given (as applicable) and that are still in force. No Intellectual Property License of any Grantor that is necessary in or material to the conduct of such
Grantor’s business requires any consent of any other Person that has not been obtained in order for such Grantor to grant the security interest granted hereunder in such Grantor’s right, title or interest in or to such Intellectual
Property License. 
 (l) Schedule 12 sets forth all Certificated Equipment owned by Grantors as of the Closing Date, by model, model

existing under any promissory note (as defined in the Code) constituting Collateral and pledged hereunder (each a “Pledged Note”) and no event has occurred or circumstance exists which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration under any Pledged Note. No Grantor that is an obligee under a Pledged Note has waived any default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration under such
Pledged Note. 
 (n) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under any Pledged Operating Agreement or Pledged

7. Covenants. Each Grantor, jointly and severally, covenants and agrees with Agent that from and after the date of this Agreement and

 20 

 
Collateral, Investment Property, or Chattel Paper, the Grantors shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after acquisition thereof), notify Agent thereof, and if and to
the extent that perfection or priority of Agent’s Security Interest is dependent on or enhanced by possession, the applicable Grantor, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after request by Agent, shall execute such

therein; 
 (b) Chattel Paper. 

(i) Promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after request by Agent, each Grantor shall take all steps reasonably

aggregate, then the applicable Grantor or Grantors shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after becoming a beneficiary), notify Agent thereof and, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after
request by Agent, enter into a tri-party agreement with Agent and the issuer or confirming bank with respect to letter-of-credit
rights assigning such letter-of-credit rights to Agent and directing all payments thereunder to Agent’s Account, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Agent; 
 (e) Commercial Tort Claims. If the Grantors (or any of them) obtain Commercial Tort Claims having a value, or involving
an asserted claim, in the amount of $500,000 or more in the aggregate for all Commercial Tort Claims, then the applicable Grantor or Grantors shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of obtaining such Commercial Tort
Claim), notify Agent upon incurring or otherwise obtaining such Commercial Tort Claims and, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after request by Agent, amend Schedule 1 to describe such Commercial Tort Claims in a
manner that reasonably 

  
 21 

 
identifies such Commercial Tort Claims and which is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and hereby authorizes the filing of additional financing statements or amendments to existing
financing statements describing such Commercial Tort Claims, and agrees to do such other acts or things deemed necessary or desirable by Agent to give Agent a first priority, perfected security interest in any such Commercial Tort Claim; 

(f) Government Contracts. Other than Accounts and Chattel Paper the value of which does not at any one time exceed $1,000,000, if any
Account or Chattel Paper arises out of a contract or contracts with the United States of America or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, Grantors shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the creation
thereof) notify Agent thereof and, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after request by Agent, execute any instruments or take any steps reasonably required by Agent in order that all moneys due or to become due under such
contract or contracts shall be assigned to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, and shall provide written notice thereof under the Assignment of Claims Act or other applicable law;

of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; 
 (ii) Each Grantor shall have the duty, with respect to Intellectual Property
that is necessary in or material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, to protect and diligently enforce and defend at such Grantor’s expense its Intellectual Property, including (A) to diligently enforce and defend, including

obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses against any other Person, but any member of the Lender Group may do so at its option from and after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be for the sole account of Borrower and shall be
chargeable to the Loan Account; 
 (iv) On each date on which a Compliance Certificate is to be delivered pursuant to
Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement in respect of a fiscal quarter (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, more frequently if requested by Agent), each Grantor shall provide Agent with a written report
of all new Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights that are registered or the subject of pending applications for registrations, and of all Intellectual Property Licenses that are material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, in each case,
which were acquired, registered, or for which applications for registration were filed by any Grantor during the prior period and any statement of use or amendment to allege use with respect to intent-to-use trademark applications. In the case of such registrations or applications therefor, which were acquired by any Grantor, each such Grantor shall file the necessary documents with the appropriate
Governmental Authority identifying the applicable Grantor as the owner (or as a co-owner thereof, if such is the case) of such Intellectual Property. In each of the foregoing cases, the applicable Grantor
shall promptly cause to be prepared, executed, and delivered to Agent supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to identify such Patent, Trademark and Copyright registrations and applications therefor (with the exception of Trademark
applications filed on an intent-to-use basis for which no statement of use or amendment to allege use has been filed) and Intellectual Property Licenses as being subject
to the security interests created thereunder; 
 (v) Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any
Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee, file an application for the registration of any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in another country without giving Agent
written notice thereof at least five (5) Business Days prior to such filing and complying with Section 7(g)(i). Upon receipt from the United States Copyright Office of notice of registration of any Copyright, each
Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following such receipt) notify (but without duplication of any notice required by Section 7(g)(iv)) Agent of such registration by delivering, or
causing to be delivered, to Agent, documentation sufficient for Agent to perfect Agent’s Liens on such Copyright. If any Grantor acquires from any Person any Copyright registered with the United States Copyright Office or an application to
register any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office, such Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following such acquisition) notify Agent of such acquisition and deliver, or cause to be delivered,
to Agent, documentation sufficient for Agent to perfect Agent’s Liens on such Copyright. In the case of such Copyright registrations or applications therefor which were acquired by any Grantor, each such Grantor shall promptly (but in no event
later than five (5) Business Days following such acquisition) file the necessary documents with the appropriate Governmental Authority identifying the applicable Grantor as the owner (or as a co-owner
thereof, if such is the case) of such Copyrights; 

  
 23 

 (vi) Each Grantor shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of, and otherwise
protect and enforce its rights in, the Intellectual Property that is necessary in or material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, including, as applicable (A) protecting the secrecy and confidentiality of its confidential
information and trade secrets by having and enforcing a policy requiring all current employees, consultants, licensees, vendors and contractors with access to such information to execute appropriate confidentiality agreements; (B) taking
actions reasonably necessary to ensure that no trade secret falls into the public domain; and (C) protecting the secrecy and confidentiality of the source code of all software programs and applications of which it is the owner or licensee by
having and enforcing a policy requiring any licensees (or sublicensees) of such source code to enter into license agreements with commercially reasonable use and non-disclosure restrictions; and 

(vii) No Grantor shall enter into any Intellectual Property License material to the conduct of the business to receive any license or rights
in any Intellectual Property of any other Person unless such Grantor has used commercially reasonable efforts to permit the assignment of or grant of a security interest in such Intellectual Property License (and all rights of Grantor thereunder) to
Agent (and any transferees of Agent). 
 (h) Investment Property. 

(i) If any Grantor shall acquire, obtain, receive or become entitled to receive any Pledged Interests after the Closing Date, it shall
promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of acquiring or obtaining such Collateral) deliver to Agent a duly executed Pledged Interests Addendum identifying such Pledged Interests; 

(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, following the request of Agent, all sums of money and property
paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property that are received by any Grantor shall be held by the Grantors in trust for the benefit of Agent segregated from such Grantor’s other property, and such Grantor shall deliver it
forthwith to Agent in the exact form received; 
 (iii) Each Grantor shall promptly deliver to Agent a copy of each material notice or other
material communication received by it in respect of any Pledged Interests; 
 (iv) No Grantor shall make or consent to any amendment or
other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Interests, Pledged Operating Agreement, or Pledged Partnership Agreement, or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Interests if the same is
prohibited pursuant to the Loan Documents; 
 (v) Each Grantor agrees that it will cooperate with Agent in obtaining all necessary approvals
and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local, or foreign law to effect the perfection of the Security Interest on the Investment Property or to effect any sale or transfer thereof; 

  
 24 

 (vi) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under any Pledged
Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, each Grantor hereby covenants that the Pledged Interests issued pursuant to such agreement (A) are not and shall not be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets,
(B) do not and will not constitute investment company securities, and (C) are not and will not be held by such Grantor in a securities account. In addition, none of the Pledged Operating Agreements, the Pledged Partnership Agreements, or
any other agreements governing any of the Pledged Interests issued under any Pledged Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, provide or shall provide that such Pledged Interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction. 
 (i) Real Property; Fixtures. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that upon
the acquisition of any fee interest in Real Property having a fair market value in excess of $2,500,000 it will promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of acquisition) notify Agent of the acquisition of such Real Property and
will grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, a first priority Mortgage on each fee interest in Real Property now or hereafter owned by such Grantor and shall deliver such other documentation and opinions, in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent, in connection with the grant of such Mortgage as Agent shall request in its Permitted Discretion, including title insurance policies, financing statements, fixture filings and environmental audits and such Grantor shall pay
all recording costs, intangible taxes and other fees and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection therewith. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all of
the Collateral shall remain personal property regardless of the manner of its attachment or affixation to real property; 
 (j) Transfers
and Other Liens. Grantors shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, or
(ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of any Grantor, except for Permitted Liens. The inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral shall not be deemed to constitute Agent’s consent to any sale or
other disposition of any of the Collateral except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; 
 (k) Name,
Etc. No Grantor will, nor will any Grantor permit any of its Subsidiaries to, change its name, organizational identification number, jurisdiction of organization or organizational identity; provided, that Grantor or any of its
Subsidiaries may change its name upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Agent of such change. 
 (l)
Certificated Equipment. Unless Agent otherwise agrees, Grantors shall maintain the Collateral Agency Agreement in force and effect. Promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) with respect to all goods covered by a
certificate of title owned by any Grantor, such Grantor shall deliver to the custodian under the Collateral Agency Agreement, the certificates of title for all such goods. On each date on which a Compliance Certificate is to

  
 25 

 
be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement in respect of a fiscal month (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, more frequently if requested by Agent),
Grantors shall provide Agent with an updated Schedule 12 which shall identify (A) all Certificated Equipment acquired since the last update of Schedule 12 and (B) all Certificated Equipment sold, disposed of or otherwise no
longer owned by a Grantor since the last update of Schedule 12; and 
 (m) Pledged Notes. Grantors (i) without the prior
written consent of Agent, will not (A) waive or release any monetary or material obligation of any Person that is obligated under any of the Pledged Notes, (B) take or omit to take any action or knowingly suffer or permit any action to be
omitted or taken, the taking or omission of which would result in any right of offset against sums payable under the Pledged Notes, or (C) other than Permitted Dispositions, assign or surrender their rights and interests under any of the
Pledged Notes or terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement or amend the Pledged Notes in any manner materially adverse to Grantor, and (ii) shall provide to Agent copies of all material written notices (including notices of default) given
or received with respect to the Pledged Notes promptly after giving or receiving such notice. 
 8. Relation to Other Security
Documents. The provisions of this Agreement shall be read and construed with the other Loan Documents referred to below in the manner so indicated. 

(a) Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in the Credit Agreement, such
provision of the Credit Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Patent, Trademark, Copyright Security Agreements. The provisions of the
Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, and Patent Security Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, or the
Patent Security Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Agent hereunder. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in a Copyright Security Agreement, Trademark Security Agreement or Patent
Security Agreement, such provision of this Agreement shall control. 
 9. Further Assurances. 

(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action, that Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted hereby, to create, perfect or protect the Security Interest purported to be granted hereby or to enable Agent to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. 
 (b) Each Grantor authorizes the filing by
Agent of financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such Grantor will execute and deliver to Agent such other instruments or notices, as Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the Security Interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby. 

  
 26 

 (c) Each Grantor authorizes Agent at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or
communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments (i) describing the Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (ii) describing the Collateral as
being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, or (iii) that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance. Each Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing
statements or amendments previously filed by Agent in any jurisdiction. 
 (d) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file
any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code. 
 10. Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights,
etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreements, and exercise
any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights
hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request that any Equity
Interests that are pledged hereunder be registered in the name of Agent or any of its nominees. 
 11. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, with
full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, and to take any action and to execute any instrument
which Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including: 
 (a) to ask, demand,
collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts or any other Collateral of such Grantor; 

(b) to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to
such Grantor to that of Agent; 
 (c) to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable Collateral or
Chattel Paper; 
 (d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the
collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; 

  
 27 

 (e) to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the
purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor; 
 (f) to use any Intellectual Property or
Intellectual Property Licenses of such Grantor, including but not limited to any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising matter, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or
selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and 

(g) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the
Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by
Agent in aid of such enforcement. 
 To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is
terminated. 
 12. Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or
cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors. 

13. Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the
benefit of the Lender Group, and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Agent shall
have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property. 

14. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, Agent or Agent’s designee may, (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to Agent, for the benefit of
the Lender Group, or that Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Grantor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such
Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 15. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Agent. None of the Pledged
Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state

  
 28 

 
securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration.
Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests
than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or
cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice
and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable
at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. 

16. Voting and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests. 

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Agent may, at its option, and with two (2) Business
Days prior notice to any Grantor, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including any
dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Agent duly exercises its right to vote
any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged
Interests in any manner Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The
power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. 

(b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will
not, without the prior written consent of Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect the rights of Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, or the value of the
Pledged Interests. 
 17. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(a) Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and
remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any
other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the 

  
 29 

 
maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby
agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and
(ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Agent may
deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notification by mail to the applicable Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notification shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notification of sale having been given. Agent may adjourn any public sale from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that (A) the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code and (B) to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, notification by mail of the URL where a sale will occur and the time when a sale will commence at least ten
(10) days prior to the sale shall constitute a reasonable notification for purposes of Section 9-611(b) of the Code. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the
terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of
Section 9-610 of the Code. 
 (b) Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use,
without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property, including but not limited to, any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, and advertising matter,
whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any Intellectual Property License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale
and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of Agent. 

(c) Agent may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it under
applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any
Grantor’s Deposit Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Grantor to pay
the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Agent, and (ii) with respect to any Grantor’s Securities Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under
Section 9-106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the
benefit of Agent, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Agent. 

  
 30 

 (d) Any cash held by Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Agent in respect of
any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to
satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency. 
 (e) Each
Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a
hearing. Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or
the right to have a bond or other security posted by Agent. 
 18. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Agent or any
other member of the Lender Group as provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right,
power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent or any other member of the Lender Group, of
any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent, such other member of the Lender Group of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. 

19. Marshaling. Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect
of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any
law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under
which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all
such laws. 
 20. Indemnity and Expenses. 

(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify Agent and the other members of the Lender Group from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement) or any other Loan Document to which such Grantor is a party, except claims, losses

  
 31 

 
or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order
of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations. 

(b) Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to Agent (or Agent, may charge to the Loan Account) all the Lender Group Expenses
which Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the
Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 21. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any
Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of
any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and each Grantor to which such amendment applies. 

22. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and
delivered to Agent at its address specified in the Credit Agreement, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the Credit Agreement or Guaranty, as applicable, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to the other party. 
 23. Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit
Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force
and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (ii) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and
assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the
Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to
such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the Guaranty made and the Security Interest granted
hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, upon Borrower’s request, Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate
such Security Interest. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or 

  
 32 

 
termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Agent nor any additional Revolving
Loans or other loans made by any Lender to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Agent, nor any other act of the Lender
Group, or any of them, shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be
deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a
bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion. 
 (b) Each Grantor agrees that,
if any payment made by any Grantor or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set, aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid,
or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by Agent or any other member of the Lender Group to such Grantor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of
the foregoing, (i) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing clause (a), or (ii) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been
terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise
affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment. 

24. Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Grantors in this Agreement and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agent, Issuing Lender, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Credit Agreement is

of August 7, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement”), by and among each of the parties listed on the signature pages thereto and those
additional entities that thereafter become parties thereto (collectively, jointly and severally, “Grantors” and each, individually, a “Grantor”) and ACF FINCO I LP, a Delaware limited partnership, in its
capacity as agent for the Lender Group (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”). 

W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS,
pursuant to that certain First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of August 7, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among Nuverra Environmental Solutions,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, as borrower (“Borrower”), the lenders party thereto as “Lenders” (such Lenders, together with their respective successors and assigns in such capacity, each, individually, a
“Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), and Agent, the Lender Group has agreed to make certain financial accommodations available to Borrower from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof; 

WHEREAS, initially capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the First
Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Credit Agreement, and this Joinder shall be subject to the rules of construction set forth in Section 1(b) of the First Lien Guaranty and Security
Agreement, which rules of construction are incorporated herein by this reference, mutatis mutandis; 
 WHEREAS, Grantors have entered
into the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement in order to induce the Lender Group to make certain financial accommodations to Borrower as provided for in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement and Section 26 of the First Lien
Guaranty and Security Agreement, certain Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, must execute and deliver certain Loan Documents, including the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, and the joinder to the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement
by the undersigned new Grantor or Grantors (collectively, the “New Grantors”) may be accomplished by the execution of this Joinder in favor of Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group; and 

WHEREAS, each New Grantor (a) is [an Affiliate] [a Subsidiary] of Borrower and, as such, will benefit by virtue of the
financial accommodations extended to Borrower by the Lender Group and (b) by becoming a Grantor will benefit from certain rights granted to the Grantors pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, each New Grantor hereby agrees as follows: 

  
 Annex I-1 

 1. In accordance with Section 26 of the First Lien Guaranty and
Security Agreement, each New Grantor, by its signature below, becomes a “Grantor” and “Guarantor” under the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a
“Grantor” and “Guarantor” and each New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all of the terms and provisions of the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement applicable to it as a “Grantor” or “Guarantor”
thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a “Grantor” or “Guarantor” thereunder are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier
shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, each New Grantor hereby (a) jointly and
severally unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, of all of the Guarantied Obligations, and
(b) unconditionally grants, assigns, and pledges to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, to secure the Secured Obligations, a continuing security interest in and to all of such New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the
Collateral. Each reference to a “Grantor” or “Guarantor” in the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement shall be deemed to include each New Grantor. The First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement is incorporated herein by
reference. 
 2. Schedule 1, “Commercial Tort Claims”, Schedule 2, “Copyrights”, Schedule 3,
“Intellectual Property Licenses”, Schedule 4, “Patents”, Schedule 5, “Pledged Companies”, Schedule 6, “Trademarks”, Schedule 7, Name; Chief Executive Office; Tax Identification
Numbers and Organizational Numbers, Schedule 8, “Owned Real Property”, Schedule 9, “Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts”, Schedule 10, “[reserved]”, Schedule 11, “List of

Schedule 10, Schedule 11, and Schedule 12 respectively, to the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement and shall be deemed a part thereof for all purposes of the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement. 

3. Each New Grantor authorizes Agent at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing statements
and amendments thereto (i) describing the Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (ii) describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with
greater detail, or (iii) that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance. Each New Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or amendments previously
filed by Agent in any jurisdiction in connection with the Loan Documents. 
 4. Each New Grantor represents and warrants to Agent, the Lender
Group that this Joinder has been duly executed and delivered by such New Grantor and constitutes its legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at
law or in equity). 

  
 Annex I-2 

 5. This Joinder is a Loan Document. This Joinder may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Joinder. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Joinder by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Joinder. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Joinder by
telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Joinder but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding
effect of this Joinder. 
 6. The First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, as supplemented hereby, shall remain in full force and effect.

 7. THIS JOINDER SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS REGARDING CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE SET FORTH
IN SECTION 25 OF THE FIRST LIEN GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND SUCH PROVISIONS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.

agent for each member of the Lender Group (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”). 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of August 7, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as borrower (“Borrower”), the lenders party thereto as “Lenders”
(such Lenders, together with their respective successors and assigns in such capacity, each, individually, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), and Agent, the Lender Group has agreed to make certain
financial accommodations available to Borrower from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof; 
 WHEREAS, the members of
the Lender Group are willing to make the financial accommodations to Borrower as provided for in the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, but only upon the condition, among others, that Grantors shall have executed and delivered to Agent, for
the benefit of the Lender Group, that certain First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2017 (including all annexes, exhibits or schedules thereto, as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified, the “First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the First Lien Guaranty and
Security Agreement, Grantors are required to execute and deliver to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, this Copyright Security Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantors hereby agree as follows: 
 1. DEFINED TERMS. All initially
capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Credit Agreement, and this Copyright Security Agreement shall be subject to
the rules of construction set forth in Section 1(b) of the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, which rules of construction are incorporated herein by this reference, mutatis mutandis. 

2. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN COPYRIGHT COLLATERAL. Each Grantor hereby unconditionally grants, assigns, and pledges to Agent, for
the benefit each member of the Lender Group, to secure the Secured Obligations, a continuing security interest (referred to in this Copyright Security Agreement as the “Security Interest”) in all of such Grantor’s right, title
and interest in and to the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising (collectively, the “Copyright Collateral”): 

  
 A-1 

 (a) all of such Grantor’s Copyrights and Copyright Intellectual Property Licenses to which
it is a party including those referred to on Schedule I; 
 (b) all renewals or extensions of the foregoing; and 

(c) all products and proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by such Grantor against third parties for past, present or future
infringement of any Copyright or any Copyright exclusively licensed under any Intellectual Property License, including the right to receive damages, or the right to receive license fees, royalties, and other compensation under any Copyright
Intellectual Property License. 
 3. SECURITY FOR SECURED OBLIGATIONS. This Copyright Security Agreement and the Security Interest
created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Copyright Security Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which
constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Grantors, or any of them, to Agent, the other members of the Lender Group or any of them, whether or not they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency
Proceeding involving any Grantor. 
 4. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Security Interest granted pursuant to this Copyright Security
Agreement is granted in conjunction with the security interests granted to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, pursuant to the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and
remedies of Agent with respect to the Security Interest in the Copyright Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference
herein as if fully set forth herein. To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Copyright Security Agreement and the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement shall control. 

5. AUTHORIZATION TO SUPPLEMENT. Grantors shall give Agent prior written notice of no less than five (5) Business Days before filing
any additional application for registration of any copyright and prompt notice in writing of any additional copyright registrations granted therefor after the date hereof. Without limiting Grantors’ obligations under this Section, Grantors
hereby authorize Agent unilaterally to modify this Copyright Security Agreement by amending Schedule I to include any future United States registered copyrights or applications therefor of each Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
failure to so modify this Copyright Security Agreement or amend Schedule I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Agent’s continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule I. 

  
 A-2 

 6. COUNTERPARTS. This Copyright Security Agreement is a Loan Document. This Copyright
Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same Copyright Security Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Copyright Security Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Copyright Security Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Copyright Security Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Copyright Security Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Copyright Security Agreement. 

7. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION. THIS COPYRIGHT SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO
THE PROVISIONS REGARDING CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE SET FORTH IN SECTION 25 OF THE FIRST LIEN GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND SUCH PROVISIONS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, MUTATIS

accommodations available to Borrower from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof; 
 WHEREAS, the members of Lender Group
are willing to make the financial accommodations to Borrower as provided for in the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, , but only upon the condition, among others, that the Grantors shall have executed and delivered to Agent, for the

 WHEREAS, pursuant to the First Lien Guaranty and Security
Agreement, Grantors are required to execute and deliver to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, this Patent Security Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor hereby agrees as follows: 
 1. DEFINED TERMS. All initially
capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Credit Agreement, and this Patent Security Agreement shall be subject to the

2. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN PATENT COLLATERAL. Each Grantor hereby unconditionally grants, assigns, and pledges to Agent, for the
benefit each member of the Lender Group, to secure the Secured Obligations, a continuing security interest (referred to in this Patent Security Agreement as the “Security Interest”) in all of such Grantor’s right, title and
interest in and to the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising (collectively, the “Patent Collateral”): 

  
 B-1 

 (a) all of its Patents and Patent Intellectual Property Licenses to which it is a party including
those referred to on Schedule I; 
 (b) all divisionals, continuations, continuations-in-part, reissues, reexaminations, or extensions of the foregoing; and 
 (c) all
products and proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by such Grantor against third parties for past, present or future infringement of any Patent or any Patent exclusively licensed under any Intellectual Property License, including the right
to receive damages, or right to receive license fees, royalties, and other compensation under any Patent Intellectual Property License. 
 3.
SECURITY FOR SECURED OBLIGATIONS. This Patent Security Agreement and the Security Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, this Patent Security Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Grantors, or any of them, to Agent, the other members of the Lender Group or any of
them, whether or not they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Grantor. 
 4.
SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Security Interest granted pursuant to this Patent Security Agreement is granted in conjunction with the security interests granted to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, pursuant to the First Lien Guaranty and
Security Agreement. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of Agent with respect to the Security Interest in the Patent Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the First Lien Guaranty and
Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein. To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Patent Security Agreement and the First Lien Guaranty and Security
Agreement, the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement shall control. 
 5. AUTHORIZATION TO SUPPLEMENT. If any Grantor shall
obtain rights to any new patent application or issued patent or become entitled to the benefit of any patent application or patent for any divisional, continuation,
continuation-in-part, reissue, or reexamination of any existing patent or patent application, the provisions of this Patent Security Agreement shall automatically apply

Agreement by amending Schedule I to include any such new patent rights of each Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this Patent Security Agreement or amend Schedule I shall in any way affect, invalidate or
detract from Agent’s continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule I.

of this Patent Security Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Patent Security Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Patent Security
Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Patent Security Agreement.

PROVISIONS REGARDING CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE SET FORTH IN SECTION 25 OF THE FIRST LIEN GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND SUCH PROVISIONS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, MUTATIS

Interest in the Trademark Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein. To the
extent there is any inconsistency between this Trademark Security Agreement and the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement, the First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement shall control. 

5. AUTHORIZATION TO SUPPLEMENT. If any Grantor shall obtain rights to any new trademarks, the provisions of this Trademark Security
Agreement shall automatically apply thereto. Grantors shall give prompt notice in writing to Agent with respect to any such new trademarks or renewal or extension of any trademark registration. Without limiting Grantors’ obligations under this
Section, Grantors hereby authorize Agent unilaterally to modify this Trademark Security Agreement by amending Schedule I to include any such new trademark rights of each Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this
Trademark Security Agreement or amend Schedule I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Agent’s continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule I.
