shall be paid, to the extent so determined to represent an extraordinary, liquidating or other distribution in return of capital, to the Pledgee and retained by it as part of the Collateral. The Pledgee shall be entitled to receive directly, and to
retain as part of the Collateral: 
 
(i) 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 dividends other than as set forth

12 

Exhibit G 
 
(ii) 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 (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. 
 
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, 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 UCC 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); 
 

13 

Exhibit G 
 
 
(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 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. 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. 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 

 

14 

Exhibit G 
 

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 and the Security Agreement. 
 
9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. (a) All moneys collected by the
Pledgee upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with all other moneys received by the Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied in the manner provided in the Security Agreement. 
 
(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 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 moneys 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 

 

15 

Exhibit G 
 

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 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, “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. 
 

16 

Exhibit G 
 
 
(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 moneys and claims for moneys due or to become due to such Pledgor 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 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. 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 date all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated, 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. 
 
16. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGORS.
(a) Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as to itself and each of its Subsidiaries that: 
 
(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;

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 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 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

affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); 
 
 

18 

Exhibit G 
 
 
(viii) the
pledge, collateral assignment and delivery to the Pledgee of such Pledgor’s Collateral consisting of Certificated Securities and Pledged 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 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 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.

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 and the organizational identification number (if any)
of each Pledgor 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 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 

 

19 

Exhibit G 
 

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 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 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 
 

20 

Exhibit G 
 

commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such 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 
 

21 

Exhibit G 
 

instrument or instruments (including UCC termination statements) acknowledging the 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 Note (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is outstanding (and all Loans have
been paid in full), all Letters of Credit have been terminated (or cash collateralized in a manner consistent with the Credit Agreement), and all other Obligations (other than indemnities described in Section 11 hereof and described in Section 12.06
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 time at which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments and Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement have been terminated (or cash collateralized in
a manner consistent with the Credit Agreement), in connection with a sale or disposition permitted by Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement or is otherwise released at the direction of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section
13.12 of the Credit Agreement) or (y) at any time thereafter, to the extent permitted by the other Secured Debt Agreements, 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

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 
 

26 

Exhibit G 
 

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 senior 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 acceptable to the Pledgee) 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 in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct believes to be in accordance with, this Section 32.

TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 
[CONFORMED AS EXECUTED] 
 
SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY 
 
SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY, (as amended, supplemented, amended and
restated or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”), dated as of March 6, 2003, made by and among each of the undersigned guarantors (each a “Guarantor” and, together with any other entity that
becomes a guarantor hereunder pursuant to Section 22 hereof, the “Guarantors”) in favor of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Administrative Agent (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative
Agent”), for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined below). Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.

 
W I T N E S S E T H : 
 
WHEREAS, DIRECTV Holdings LLC (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the
“Lenders”), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Administrative Agent (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, have
entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2003 (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing for the making of Loans to, and the issuance of, and participation
in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, all as contemplated therein (the Lenders, each Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each other Agent and the Pledgee 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 affiliate, even if the respective Lender subsequently
ceases to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement for any reason, together with such Lender’s or affiliate’s successors and assigns, if any, collectively, the “Other Creditors” and, together with the Lender Creditors, the
“Secured Creditors”); 
 
WHEREAS,
each Guarantor is a direct or indirect domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower; 
 
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the making of Loans to the Borrower and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and
to the Other Creditors entering into Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent this Guaranty; and 

 
WHEREAS, each
Guarantor will obtain benefits from the incurrence of Loans by the Borrower and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the entering into by the Borrower of Interest
Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements and, accordingly, desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the condition described in the preceding paragraph and to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the Borrower and issue,
and/or participate in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and the Other Creditors to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements with the Borrower; 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other
benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and
hereby covenants and agrees with each other Guarantor and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as follows: 
 
1. GUARANTY. 
 
(a) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees as a primary obligor and
not merely as surety: 
 
(i) to
the Lender Creditors the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of (x) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes issued by, and the
Loans made to, the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and all reimbursement obligations and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit and (y) all other obligations (including, without limitation, obligations which, but for the automatic
stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, would become due), liabilities and indebtedness owing by the Borrower to the Lender Creditors under the Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document to which the Borrower is a party (including,
without limitation, indemnities, Fees and interest thereon (including, without limitation, any interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided for in the Credit
Agreement, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding)), whether now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any such other Credit Document and the due
performance and compliance by the Borrower with all of the terms, conditions and agreements contained in all such Credit Documents (all such principal, premium, interest, liabilities, indebtedness and obligations under this clause (i), except to the
extent consisting of obligations or liabilities with respect to Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, being herein collectively called the “Credit Document Obligations”); and 
 
(ii) to each Other Creditor the full and
prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of all obligations (including, without limitation, obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, would become due), liabilities and indebtedness (including, without limitation, any interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the 

 

2 

rate provided for in the respective Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, whether or not such interest is an
allowed claim in any such proceeding) owing by the Borrower under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, whether now in existence or hereafter arising, and the due performance and compliance by the Borrower with all of the terms, conditions and
agreements contained therein (all such obligations, liabilities and indebtedness being herein collectively called the “Other Obligations”, and together with the Credit Document Obligations are herein collectively called the
“Guaranteed Obligations”). 
 
Each Guarantor
understands, agrees and confirms that the Secured Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against the Borrower without proceeding against any other Guarantor or the Borrower, or against any security
for the Guaranteed Obligations, or under any other guaranty covering all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 
(b) Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, guarantees the
payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence in respect of the Borrower of any of the events specified in Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally, absolutely and
irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Creditors, or order, on demand. This Guaranty is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of prompt payment and performance and not of collection.

 
2. LIABILITY OF GUARANTORS ABSOLUTE. The
liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary, absolute, joint and several, and unconditional and is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of the Borrower whether executed by such Guarantor, any other
Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any direction as to application of
payment by the Borrower or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other
guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, (e) the failure of the Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this
Guaranty, (f) any payment made to any Secured Creditor on the indebtedness which any Secured Creditor repays the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each
Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (g) any action or inaction by the Secured Creditors as contemplated in Section 5 hereof or (h) any invalidity, rescission,
irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor. 
 
3. OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTORS INDEPENDENT. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other
Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower and whether or
not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or the 

 

3 

Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability
hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor. 
 
4. WAIVERS BY GUARANTORS. 
 
(a) Each Guarantor hereby waives notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower) and the Guarantor further hereby waives any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice or proof of reliance by any Secured Creditor upon this Guaranty, and the Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty. 
 
(b) Each Guarantor waives any right to require the Secured Creditors to: (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other
Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party; or (iii)
pursue any other remedy in the Secured Creditors’ power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
party other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash. The Secured
Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any collateral serving as security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Creditors by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any
such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Creditors may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or
impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Secured Creditors, even though
such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
party or any security. 
 
(c) Each
Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the
existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Each Guarantor has knowledge and assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other 

 

4 

Guarantor’s financial condition, affairs and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and has adequate means to obtain from the Borrower and each other Guarantor on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and
the Borrower’s and each other Guarantor’s ability to pay and perform its respective Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so informed for so long as this Guarantee is in effect. Each Guarantor
acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Secured Creditors shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of the Borrower or any other Guarantor for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor of any fact
respecting, or any change in, the financial condition, assets or affairs of the Borrower or any other Guarantor that might become known to any Secured Creditor at any time, whether or not such Secured Creditor knows or believes or has reason to know
or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to such Guarantor, or might (or does) increase the risk of such Guarantor as guarantor hereunder, or might (or would) affect the willingness of such Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the
Obligations hereunder and (y) the Secured Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding any of the afore-mentioned circumstances or risks. 
 
(d) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the
Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in the State of California, such Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other
reason impairing such Guarantor’s or any Secured Creditors’ right to proceed against any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 
(e) Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all
rights and benefits under Section 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Guarantor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any
other provision hereof, all rights and benefits which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under Sections 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2821, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code. 
 
(f) Each Guarantor waives its rights of
subrogation and reimbursement and any other rights and defenses available to such Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code, including, without limitation, (1) any defenses such Guarantor may have to this
Guaranty by reason of an election of remedies by the Secured Creditors and (2) any rights or defenses such Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to any Borrower pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of California limiting or
discharging such Borrower’s indebtedness, including, without limitation, Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. In furtherance of such provisions, each Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising
out of an election of remedies by the Secured Creditors, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure, destroys such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Borrower by the operation of
Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. 
 

5 

 
(g) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Creditor nor any other Person shall be under any obligation (a) to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the
Borrower under the Credit Documents or the obligation of the Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself any right to which the Guarantor hereby waives. 
 
(h) Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that
each of the waivers set forth in Section 3 and in this Section 4 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 only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. 
 
5. RIGHTS OF SECURED CREDITORS. Subject to Section 13, any Secured Creditor may (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) at any time and from time to time without the
consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations or liabilities of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

 
(a) change the manner, place or
terms of payment of, and/or change, increase or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon or the
principal amount thereof), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, increased, accelerated, renewed or
altered; 
 
(b) take and hold
security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, impair, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property or other collateral by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged
to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst; 
 
(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights against the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof, any other guarantor of the Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting; 
 
(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, other guarantors, the
Borrower or other obligors; 
 
(e)
settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part
thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to creditors of the Borrower other than the Secured Creditors; 
 

6 

 
(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Secured Creditors regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid; 
 
(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any
act, omission or default under, any of the Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, the Credit Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the
Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, the Credit Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements; 
 
(h) act or fail to act in any manner which may deprive such Guarantor of its right to subrogation against the Borrower to
recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty; and/or 
 
(i) take any other action or omit to take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor from its
liabilities under this Guaranty (including, without limitation, any action or omission whatsoever that might otherwise vary the risk of the Guarantor or constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or
surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against the Guarantor). 
 
No invalidity, illegality, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security or
guarantee therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 
6. CONTINUING GUARANTY; REINSTATEMENT. 
 
(a) This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be
conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which any Secured Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights
of any Secured Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Secured Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or agents
acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
 

7 

 
(b) This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the
Borrower upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The Guarantor further agrees that, without limiting the generality of this Guaranty, if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any Secured Creditor is prevented by applicable law, including, without limitation, the imposition of an injunction under Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or similar provisions of any
United States or foreign law for the relief of debtors, from exercising its remedies under the Credit Documents, such Secured Creditor shall be entitled to receive hereunder from the Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which would have
otherwise been due from the Borrower had such remedies been exercised. 
 
7. SUBORDINATION OF INDEBTEDNESS HELD BY GUARANTORS. Any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Secured Creditors, and such
indebtedness of the Borrower to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as
trustee for the Secured Creditors and be paid over to the Secured Creditors on account of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Secured Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other
provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any indebtedness of the Borrower to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that
the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a
result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash; provided, that if any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on
account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured
Creditors to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or, if the Credit Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the
Secured Creditors as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing. 
 
8. GUARANTY ENFORCEABLE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR COLLATERAL AGENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Guaranty, the Secured Creditors agree (by their acceptance of
the benefits of this Guarantee) that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in each case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, after the date on which all Credit
Document Obligations have been paid in full, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty or to realize
upon the security to be granted by the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or, after all the Credit 

 

8 

Document Obligations have been paid in full, by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations, as the case may be,
for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Guaranty and the Security Documents. The Secured Creditors further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, partner, member or stockholder
of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder is also a Guarantor hereunder). It is understood and agreed that the agreement in this Section 8 is among and solely for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and that, if the
Required Lenders (or, after the date on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) so agree (without requiring the consent of any Guarantor), this Guaranty
may be directly enforced by any Secured Creditor. 
 
9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF GUARANTORS. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to, and issue Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and in order to induce the
Other Creditors to execute, deliver and perform the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements, each Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that: 
 
(a) such Guarantor (i) is a duly organized and validly existing corporation, partnership or
limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to own its property and
assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the conduct of its business requires such
qualification except for failures to be so qualified which, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 
(b) such Guarantor has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and
authority, as the case may be, to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of this Guaranty and each other Document (such term, for purposes of this Guaranty, to mean each Credit Document and each Interest Rate Protection Agreement and
Other Hedging Agreement with an Other Creditor) to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company action, as the case may be, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this
Guaranty and each such other Document. Such Guarantor has duly executed and delivered this Guaranty and each other Document to which it is a party, and this Guaranty and each such other Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability hereof or thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally
affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); 
 
(c) neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty or any other Document to which it is
a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, will (i) contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
instrumentality, (ii) conflict with or result in any 

 

9 

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 property or assets of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement, credit agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument to which such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii)
violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement (or equivalent organizational documents), as the case may be, of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries;

 
(d) no order, consent,
approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except as have been obtained or made prior to the date when required and which remain in full force and effect), or exemption by, any governmental or
public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by such Guarantor or any other Document to which such Guarantor is a
party or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Guaranty or any other Document to which such Guarantor is a party; 
 
(e) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to such Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened (i) with respect
to this Guaranty or any other Document to which such Guarantor is a party, (ii) with respect to such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
or (iii) that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the rights or remedies of the Secured Creditors or on the ability of such Guarantor to perform its obligations to the Secured Creditors hereunder and under the other
Credit Documents to which it is a party; 
 
(f) each Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the Effective Date and until the termination of the Total Commitment and all Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements and until such time as no Note or
Letter of Credit remains outstanding (other than Letters of Credit, together with all Fees that have accrued and will accrue thereon through the stated termination date of such Letters of Credit, which have been cash collateralized in a manner
consistent with the Credit Agreement) and all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full (other than indemnities described in Section 13.13 of the Credit Agreement and analogous provisions in the Security Documents which are not then due and
payable), such Guarantor will comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with all of the applicable provisions, covenants and agreements contained in Sections 8 and 9 of the Credit Agreement, and will take, or will refrain from
taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that it is not in violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in Section 8 or Section 9 of the Credit Agreement, and so that no Default or Event
of Default is caused by the actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries; and 

 

10 

 
(g) each Guarantor acknowledges that an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Credit Documents, Interest Rate Protection Agreements and the Other Hedging Agreements has been made available to a senior officer of such Guarantor
and such officer is familiar with the contents thereof. 
 
10. EXPENSES. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Creditor in connection with the enforcement of
this Guaranty and the protection of the Secured Creditors’ rights hereunder and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including in-house
counsel) employed by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Creditor). 
 
11. BENEFIT AND BINDING EFFECT. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Creditors and their successors and
assigns. 
 
12. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. Neither this
Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of each Guarantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not
constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released) and with the written consent of either (x) the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 13.12 of the Credit
Agreement, with the written consent of each Lender) at all times prior to the time at which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full or (y) the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations at all times after the
time at which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full; provided, that any change, waiver, modification or variance affecting the rights and benefits of a single Class (as defined below) of Secured Creditors (and not all Secured
Creditors in a like or similar manner) shall also require the written consent of the Requisite Creditors (as defined below) of such Class of Secured Creditors (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not
constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released). For the purpose of this Guaranty, the term “Class” shall mean each class of Secured Creditors,
i.e., whether (x) the Lender Creditors as holders of the Credit Document Obligations or (y) the Other Creditors as the holders of the Other Obligations. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the term “Requisite Creditors” of any
Class shall mean (x) with respect to the Credit Document Obligations, the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement, each Lender) and (y) with respect to the Other Obligations, the holders of at least a
majority of all obligations outstanding from time to time under the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements. 
 
13. SET OFF. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the
New York Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (such term to mean and include any “Event of Default” as defined in the Credit
Agreement and any payment default under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement continuing after any applicable grace period), each Secured Creditor 

 

11 

is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being
expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Secured Creditor to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, against and on
account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Secured Creditor under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Creditor shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities, deposits
or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, at any time that the Guaranteed Obligations shall be secured by any Real Property located in the State of California,
no Secured Creditor shall exercise any right of set-off, lien or counterclaim or take any court or administrative action or institute any proceedings to enforce any provision of this Guaranty without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders or, to the extent required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement, all of the Lenders, if such setoff or action or proceeding would or might (pursuant to Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure or Section 2924 of the California Civil Code, if applicable, or otherwise) affect or impair the validity, priority, or enforceability of the liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents or the enforceability of
the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, and any attempted exercise by any Secured Creditor or the Administrative Agent of any such right without obtaining such consent of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be null and void. It is
understood and agreed that the foregoing sentence of this Section 13 is for the sole benefit of the Secured Creditors and may be amended, modified or waived in any respect by the Required Lenders (without any requirement of prior notice to or
consent by any Credit Party or any other Person) and does not constitute a waiver of any rights against any Credit Party or against any Collateral. Each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) acknowledges and agrees that the
provisions of this Section 13 are subject to the sharing provisions set forth in Section 13.06 of the Credit Agreement. 
 
14. NOTICE. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties
hereto shall be sent or delivered by mail, telegraph, telex, telecopy, cable or courier service and all such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by courier, be effective when deposited
in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantor shall not be effective
until received by the Administrative Agent or such Guarantor, as the case may be. All notices and other communications shall be in writing and addressed to such party at (i) in the case of any Lender Creditor, as provided in the Credit Agreement,
(ii) in the case of any Guarantor, at its address set forth opposite its signature page below, and (iii) in the case of any Other Creditor, at such address as such Other Creditor shall have specified in writing to the Guarantors; or in any case at
such other address as any of the Persons listed above may hereafter notify the others in writing. 
 
15. CONTINUING LIABILITY OF GUARANTORS. If any claim is ever made upon any Secured Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or
amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees 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 (ii) any 

 

12 

settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including, without limitation, the Borrower) then
and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any Note, any Interest Rate Protection
Agreement, any Other Hedging Agreement or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower and such Guarantor 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. 
 
16. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS; AND WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. 
 
(a) THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE SECURED CREDITORS AND OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREUNDER SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which any Guarantor is a party may be brought in the courts of the State of
New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York in each case located within the City of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect
of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Guarantor hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such Guarantor, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any
legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further
irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to each Guarantor at its address set forth
opposite its signature below, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any
action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party that such service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any of the Secured Creditors
to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against each Guarantor in any other jurisdiction. 
 
(b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) 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 Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party 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 such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 
(c) EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH SECURED CREDITOR
(BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS GUARANTY) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR 

 

13 

COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS TO WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR IS A PARTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 
 
17. RELEASE OF
LIABILITY OF GUARANTOR UPON SALE OR DISSOLUTION. In the event that all of the capital stock or other equity interests of one or more Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of Section 9.02 or
9.03 of the Credit Agreement (or such sale or other disposition has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement)) and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation
are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, to the extent applicable, such Guarantor shall upon consummation of such sale or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to the Borrower
or another Subsidiary thereof) be released from this Guaranty automatically and without further action and this Guaranty shall, as to each such Guarantor or Guarantors, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed
that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 17). 
 
18. CONTRIBUTION. At any time a payment in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to
be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate
payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who has made
payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the
Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess
Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding
sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; provided that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in
full in cash, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 18 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other
Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 18: (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean
the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all 

 

14 

Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below)
of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and
other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty) on such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from
this Guaranty pursuant to Section 17 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 18, and at the time of any such release, if the released Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate
Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by
the remaining Guarantors. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 18 each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of
contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution
arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such
waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders. 
 
19. GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS LIMITED. Each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not
constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act of any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its
acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or
otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result
in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 
20. COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty 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 Administrative Agent. 
 
21. PAYMENTS. All
payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and on the same basis as payments are made by the Borrower under Sections 4.03 and 4.04 of the Credit Agreement. 
 
22. ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS. It is understood and agreed that
any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the 

 

15 

date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a counterpart hereof and delivering the same to
the Administrative Agent. 
 
23. HEADINGS
DESCRIPTIVE. The headings of the several Sections of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guaranty.
