All such rights of each Pledgor to vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications shall cease at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, except in the case of an Event of Default under Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement, upon at least one Business Days’ prior written notice from the Pledgee of its intent to exercise its rights under this Agreement.

6. Dividends and Other Distributions. For greater certainty, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement, unless and until there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default and, other than in the case of an Event of Default under Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement, the Pledgee shall have given at least one Business Days’ prior written notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Pledgor, all cash dividends, cash distributions, cash Proceeds and other cash amounts payable in respect of the Collateral shall be paid to the respective Pledgor. While this Agreement is in effect, the Pledgee shall be entitled to receive directly, and to retain as part of the Collateral, in each case, to the extent otherwise required by this Agreement:

(ii) all other or additional Equity Interests, Notes, Certificated Securities, 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 Equity Interests, Notes, Certificated Securities, 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.

7. Remedies in Case of an Event of Default. (a) If there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, then and in every such case, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, 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, with each Pledgor hereby agreeing that the rights set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi) below are 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, upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice, 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, upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice, vote (and exercise all rights and powers in respect of voting) all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so);

(v) at any time and from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, at any public or private sale, without demand of performance, advertisement or, notice of intention to sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or otherwise purchase or dispose (all of which are hereby waived by each Pledgor), for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices and at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Pledgee may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable, provided at least 10 days’ prior 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 or the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee on behalf of the Secured Creditors may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall any of them be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto; and

(vi) to set off any and all Collateral against any and all Obligations, and to withdraw any and all cash or other Collateral from any and all Collateral Accounts and to apply such cash and other Collateral to the payment of any and all Obligations.

-12-

(b) It is understood and agreed that in respect of Collateral consisting of Uncertificated Securities, Partnership Interests and Limited Liability Company Interests subject of an agreement substantially in the form of Annex A and as described in Section 3.2(a)(ii), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee shall not deliver to the issuer of such Uncertificated Securities, Partnership Interests or Limited Liability Company Interests, as the case may be, a notice stating that the Pledgee is exercising exclusive control of such Uncertificated Securities, Partnership Interests or Limited Liability Company Interests, as the case may be, under, and as described in such respective agreement.

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, subject to Section 12(c) hereof, 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. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Secured Creditors agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Pledgee and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Agreement and the Security Agreement.

9. Application of Proceeds.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, all monies collected by the Pledgee upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral as a result of the exercise of any remedies by the Pledgee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with all other monies 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. The terms of Section 13.01 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

-13-

12. Pledgee Not A Partner or 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) To the extent otherwise required by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, each Pledgor will, at its own expense and upon the reasonable request of the Pledgee, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Pledgee from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its Collateral, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the Pledgee deems reasonably appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral at least to the extent described in Section 3.

(b) Each Pledgor agrees to deliver to the Pledgee such financing statements, in form reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee, as the Pledgee may from time to time reasonably request to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and for the purpose of obtaining and preserving the full benefits of the other rights and security contemplated hereby at least to the extent described in Section 3. Each Pledgor will pay any applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its Collateral.

-14-

(c) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, each Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints the Pledgee its true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with full power after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default (in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise) to act, require, demand, receive, compound 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 which the Pledgee may deem to be reasonably necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Secured Creditors, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an interest.

14. The Pledgee as Collateral Agent. The Pledgee shall hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. Until the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Pledgee shall not directly pledge any Collateral in its possession or control to secure its own debt. It is expressly understood and agreed 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 Article 12 of the Credit Agreement.

It is expressly agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, that each Pledgor shall remain liable to perform all of the obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the Collateral and the Pledgee shall not have any obligations or liabilities with respect to any Collateral by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, except for the safekeeping of Collateral actually in Pledgor’s possession, nor shall the Pledgee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Pledgor under or with respect to any Collateral.

27. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with each Pledgor and the Pledgee. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

28. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

29. [Reserved].

30. Additional Pledgors. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary Guarantor that is required to become a party to this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall become a Pledgor hereunder by executing and delivering to the Pledgee a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and taking all actions as specified in this Agreement as would have been taken by such Pledgor had it been an original party to this Agreement, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to the Pledgee and with all documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Pledgee.

31. Limited Obligations. It is the desire and intent of each Pledgor and the Secured Creditors that this Agreement shall be enforced against each Pledgor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in furtherance of the foregoing, it is noted that the obligations of each Pledgor constituting a Subsidiary Guarantor have been limited as provided in the Subsidiaries Guaranty.

32. Release of Pledgors. If at any time all of the Equity Interests of any Pledgor owned by the Lead Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are sold (to a Person other than a Credit Party) in a transaction permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, then, such Pledgor shall be released as a Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement without any further action hereunder (it being understood that the sale of all of the Equity Interests in any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests in any

-21-

Pledgor shall be deemed to be a sale of all of the Equity Interests in such Pledgor for purposes of this Section), and the Pledgee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver such instruments of release as are reasonably satisfactory to it. At any time that the Lead Borrower desires that the Pledgee take any action in accordance with this Section 32, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Pledgee a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower stating that the release of such Pledgor is permitted pursuant to this Section 32.

33. Intercreditor Agreements. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements in all respects and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall govern. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lien and security interest granted to the Pledgee pursuant to any Credit Document and the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the Pledgee (or any Secured Creditor) hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and in the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and any other Credit Document, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall govern and control with respect to the exercise of any such right or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Credit Party shall be required hereunder or under any Credit Document to take any action with respect to the Collateral that is inconsistent with such Credit Parties’ obligations under the Intercreditor Agreements. Prior to the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), the delivery or granting of “control” (as defined in the UCC), to the extent only one Person can be granted “control” therein under applicable law, of any ABL Collateral (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) to the collateral agent under the ABL Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Collateral Documents (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) shall satisfy any such delivery or granting of “control” requirement hereunder or under any other Credit Document with respect to any ABL Collateral to the extent that such delivery or granting of “control” is consistent with the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations (as such term is defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement), the delivery or granting of “control” (as defined in the UCC) to the extent only one Person can be granted “control” therein under applicable law of any Collateral to a Senior Priority Representative (as such term is defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Senior Priority Collateral Documents (as such term is defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) shall satisfy any such delivery or granting of “control” requirement hereunder or under any other Credit Document to the extent that such delivery or granting of “control” is consistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements.

Form of Agreement Regarding Uncertificated Securities, Limited Liability

Company Interests and Partnership Interests

AGREEMENT (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of [                 , 20    ], among the undersigned pledgor (the “Pledgor”), [                        ], not in its individual capacity but solely as Collateral Agent (the “Pledgee”), and [                        ], as the issuer of the Uncertificated Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests and/or Partnership Interests (each as defined below) (the “Issuer”). Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Pledge Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.

WHEREAS, the Pledgor, certain of its affiliates and the Pledgee have entered into a Second Lien Pledge Agreement, dated as of October 20, 2016 (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”), under which, among other things, in order to secure the payment of the Obligations (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), the Pledgor has or will pledge to the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), and grant a security interest in favor of the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in, all of the right, title and interest of the Pledgor in and to certain [“uncertificated securities” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(18) of the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the State of New York) (“Uncertificated Securities”)] [Partnership Interests (as defined in the Pledge Agreement)] [Limited Liability Company Interests (as defined in the Pledge Agreement)], from time to time issued by the Issuer, whether now existing or hereafter from time to time acquired by the Pledgor (with all of such [Uncertificated Securities] [Partnership Interests] [Limited Liability Company Interests] being herein collectively called the “Issuer Pledged Interests”); and

WHEREAS, the Pledgor desires the Issuer to enter into this Agreement in order to perfect the security interest of the Pledgee under the Pledge Agreement in the Issuer Pledged Interests, to vest in the Pledgee control of the Issuer Pledged Interests and to provide for the rights of the parties under this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees, to comply with any and all instructions and orders originated by the Pledgee (and its successors and assigns) regarding any and all of the Issuer Pledged Interests without the further consent by the registered owner (including the Pledgor), and, following its receipt of a notice from the Pledgee stating that the Pledgee is exercising exclusive control of the Issuer Pledged Interests, not to comply with any instructions or orders regarding any or all of the Issuer Pledged Interests originated by any person or entity other than the Pledgee (and its successors and assigns) or a court of competent jurisdiction.

TO

SECOND LIEN PLEDGE AGREEMENT

2. All notices, statements of accounts, reports, prospectuses, financial statements and other communications to be sent to the Pledgor by the Issuer in respect of the Issuer will also be sent to the Pledgee at the following address:

Bank of America, N.A.

[    ]

Attention: [    ]

Telephone No.: (212) [    ]

Telecopier No.: (212) [    ]

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

4. Except as expressly provided otherwise in Sections 4 and 5, all notices, instructions, orders and communications hereunder shall be sent or delivered by mail, telegraph, telex, telecopy, cable or overnight courier service and all such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails or delivered to overnight courier, prepaid and properly addressed for delivery on such or the next Business Day, or sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Pledgee or the Issuer shall not be effective until received.

ANNEX A

TO

SECOND LIEN PLEDGE AGREEMENT

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

6. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

7. The rights and powers granted herein to the Pledgee have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in the Issuer Pledged Interests. This Agreement shall continue in effect until the security interest of the Pledgee in the Issuer Pledged Interests has been terminated and the Pledgee has notified the Issuer of such termination in writing. Upon receipt of such notice the obligations of Issuer pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Issuer Pledged Interests after the receipt of such notice shall terminate, the Pledgee shall have no further right to originate instructions concerning the Issuer Pledged Interests and the Issuer may thereafter take such steps as the Pledgor may request to vest full ownership and control of the Issuer Pledged Interests in the Pledgor. The Pledgor may only terminate this Agreement with the written consent of the Pledgee; provided that, by giving such notice with the Pledgee’s written consent, both the Pledgor and the Pledgee acknowledge that they will thereby be confirming that, as of the termination date set forth in such Notice, the Pledgee will no longer have a perfected security interest in the Issuer Pledged Interests via control pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement automatically terminates when the Pledgee notifies the Issuer that all obligations owed to the Pledgee have been paid in full and the Pledgee has terminated its security interest in the Issuer Pledged Interests.

8. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement) in all respects and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall govern.

5. Counterparts. This Joinder Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder Agreement by facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Joinder Agreement.
