WHEREAS, Escrow Agent has agreed to accept, hold and disburse, as applicable, the funds deposited with it and the earnings thereon, if any, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. APPOINTMENT OF ESCROW AGENT. Secured Party and Depositor do hereby appoint Escrow Agent as escrow agent for the purposes described herein, and Escrow Agent does hereby accept the appointment as escrow agent and agrees to act in accordance with the terms and conditions described herein. Escrow Agent shall have all of the rights, powers, duties and obligations provided herein.

2. ESCROW FUND.

(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) the Initial Purchasers, upon the written request of Depositor (and only upon satisfaction of all the conditions precedent to closing under the Purchase Agreement), shall deliver and deposit with Escrow Agent, and Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of, the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, and (ii) Depositor shall deliver and deposit with Escrow Agent, and Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of, (x) an amount in cash that, when taken together with the amount deposited pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), is equal to 100.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus an amount equal to the amount of interest that will accrue on the Notes through October 31, 2017, to be held in escrow by Escrow Agent and distributed pursuant to and strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 2(a), along with the Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 2(b) below), shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Escrowed Property.” Escrow Agent shall promptly deposit, invest and reinvest, as applicable, the Escrowed Property and the proceeds thereof into a trust account (the “Escrow Account”) as provided in Section 3 herein below. Escrow Agent shall release and disburse Escrowed Property only in accordance with the instructions as set forth in “Exhibit A” hereto, or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Escrow Agent will only release and disburse Escrowed Property which consists of funds received by Escrow Agent which have cleared normal banking channels. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Depositor shall pay to Escrow Agent all fees due to Escrow Agent pursuant to Exhibit C.

(b) (i) On or prior to the date that is five (5) business days prior to the last day of each month, from and including October 2017 through and including July 2018 (in each case, unless release of the Escrowed Property has occurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), Depositor will deposit, or the Company will cause to be deposited, into the Escrow Account an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest that will accrue on the Notes from (and including) the first day of the following month through (and including) the last day of such following month and (ii) in the event that the conditions to the release of the Escrowed Property have not been satisfied on or prior to February 28, 2018, Depositor will deposit, or the Company will cause to be deposited, in the Escrow Account an amount of cash that, when taken together with the Escrowed Property (excluding amounts deposited in respect of prefunded interest) then held in the Escrow Account, is equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes

(such deposits, collectively, the “Additional Amounts”). The Additional Amounts will, together with the amounts deposited into the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, provide cash to Escrow Agent in an amount sufficient to pay the Escrow Redemption Price. If, on the date of the Redemption Notice, the Escrowed Property is insufficient to pay the Escrow Redemption Price on the Escrow Redemption Date, Depositor shall deposit, or the Company will cause to be deposited, into the Escrow Account, on the business day prior to the Escrow Redemption Date, an amount in cash that will cause the amount in the Escrow Account to be sufficient to pay the Escrow Redemption Price.

3. INVESTMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF ESCROW FUND. Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest the Escrowed Property in the investment(s) set forth in “Exhibit B” hereto, or as otherwise may be specified in an Investment Direction submitted to the Escrow Agent from time to time, changing the investment of the Escrowed Property. Escrow Agent shall conclusively rely upon an Investment Direction without inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that Depositor warrants that no Investment Direction shall be given except in the following: (a) direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America; (b) U.S. dollar denominated deposit accounts and certificates of deposit issued by any bank, bank and trust company, or national banking association (including Escrow Agent and its affiliates), which are either (i) insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to FDIC limits, or (ii) with domestic commercial banks which have a rating on their short-term certificates of deposit on the date of purchase of at least “A-1” by S&P or “P-1” by Moody’s (ratings on holding companies are not considered as the rating of the bank); or (c) money market funds, including funds managed by Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates; provided further, however, that Escrow Agent will not be directed to invest in investments that Escrow Agent determines are not consistent with Escrow Agent’s policies or practices. Depositor recognizes and agrees that Escrow Agent will not provide supervision, recommendations or advice relating to either the investment of Escrowed Property or the purchase or disposition of any investment. Escrow Agent has no responsibility whatsoever to determine the market or other value of any investment and makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any such valuations. To the extent applicable regulations grant rights to receive brokerage confirmations for certain security transactions, Depositor waives receipt of such confirmations.

During the term of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall provide Secured Party and Depositor with written monthly statements containing the beginning balance of the Escrowed Property, as well as all principal and income transactions for the statement period. Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to liquidate any and all investments in whole or in part making up the Escrowed Property as it deems necessary to make any and all payments or distributions required under this Agreement. All investment earnings shall become part of the Escrowed Property and investment losses shall be charged against the Escrowed Property. Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for loss in the value of any investment made pursuant to this Agreement, or for any loss, cost or penalty resulting from any sale or liquidation of the Escrowed Property.

In the event that any or all of the Escrowed Property is of the type which cannot be invested, or Depositor expressly requests in writing that the Escrowed Property not be invested, Escrow Agent shall hold and maintain the Escrowed Property in the Escrow Account.

4. LIABILITY OF ESCROW AGENT. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith, including, but not limited to any loss to the Escrowed Property resulting from the investment(s) enumerated in “Exhibit B” hereto or as otherwise specified in an Investment Direction by Depositor to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3 hereof or any loss resulting from the liquidation of any investment(s) prior to such investment’s maturity date for the purpose of making required disbursements under this Agreement, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct proximately caused any loss to Depositor or Secured Party. Escrow Agent may rely in good faith upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument delivered in writing by Depositor or Secured Party, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same. Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection with the Escrowed Property, any account in which Escrowed Property are deposited, this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding or to take any other action that in Escrow Agent’s sole judgment may expose it to potential expense or liability.

5. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF ESCROW AGENT. This Agreement shall represent the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof, and Escrow Agent shall only be required to perform the duties expressly described herein, and no further duties shall be implied from this Agreement or any other written or oral agreement by and among Escrow Agent, Depositor and Secured Party made previous or subsequent to this Agreement, unless such written amendment to this Agreement is executed by all Parties hereto

Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged of all duties and obligations under this Agreement by providing ten (10) days’ written notice of such resignation to both Depositor and Secured Party.

8. TERMINATION OF ESCROW AGENT. Escrow Agent may be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ joint written notice from Depositor and Secured Party and upon the payment of any and all costs and fees due to Escrow Agent. In such event, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely in good faith upon written instructions from Depositor and Secured Party as to the disposition and delivery of the Escrowed Property.

9. TAXES. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the tax consequences of this Agreement. Except as otherwise agreed by Escrow Agent in writing, Escrow Agent has no tax reporting or withholding obligation except with respect to Form 1099-B reporting on payments of gross proceeds under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045 and Form 1099 and Form 1042-S reporting with respect to investment income earned on the Escrowed Property, if any. For purposes of federal income taxes and other taxes based on income, Depositor will be treated as the owner of the Escrowed Property until the distribution of the Escrowed Property (or such portion thereof). Depositor and Secured Party each represent that its Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any other taxing authority listed in “Exhibit D” is true and correct, and that each will notify Escrow Agent in writing immediately upon any change to such number.

Compensation for services rendered by Escrow Agent shall be paid in accordance with the instructions set forth on “Exhibit C,” and Depositor agrees to pay or reimburse Escrow Agent for any and all reasonable and documented costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented external attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, performance, delivery, modification or termination of this Agreement. In addition to any other liens or security interest available to Escrow Agent under applicable law, Escrow Agent shall have, and Depositor hereby grants to Escrow Agent, a first priority lien on the Escrowed Property to secure the payment of any moneys owed to Escrow Agent hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Escrow Agent agrees (i) that any security interest in, lien on, encumbrance, claim or right of setoff against, the Escrow Account or any funds therein that it now has or subsequently obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Secured Party in the Escrow Account and the funds therein or credited thereto and (ii) it shall not exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against the Escrow Account or to assert against the Escrow Account any present or future security interest, banker’s lien or any other lien or claim (including claim for penalties) that the Escrow Agent may at any time have against or in the Escrow Account or any funds therein until the Escrowed Property has been released in full satisfaction of all claims of the Secured Party.

11. INDEMNIFICATION OF ESCROW AGENT. From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, Depositor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented external attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including, without limitation, Depositor or Secured Party, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against

any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of this Escrow Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable and documented fees of such counsel to all Indemnified Parties who are party to such action or claim shall be paid by Depositor promptly following demand therefor by such Indemnified Parties. The obligations of Depositor under this Section 11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the last sentence of Section 10, Depositor further grants Escrow Agent a right of set-off and a security interest against the Escrowed Property for the payment of any claim for indemnification, reasonable and documented expenses (including legal) or compensation due hereunder.

12. REPRESENTATIONS and WARRANTIES. Each of Depositor and Secured Party hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Escrow Agent, each as to itself:

(a) It is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or organization, and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

(b) This Agreement has been duly approved by all necessary action, including any necessary shareholder or membership approval, has been executed by its duly authorized officers, and constitutes its valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement will not violate, conflict with, or cause a default under its articles of incorporation, articles of organization, bylaws, management agreement or other organizational document, as applicable, any applicable law or regulation, any court order or administrative ruling or decree to which it is a party or any of its property is subject, or any agreement, contract, indenture, or other binding arrangement to which it is a party or any of its property is subject.

(d) The applicable persons designated on “Exhibit D” hereto have been duly appointed to act as its representatives hereunder and have full power and authority to execute and deliver any written directions, to amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement and to take any and all other actions on behalf of Depositor and Secured Party under this Agreement, all without further consent or direction from, or notice to, it or any other party.

(e) No party other than the Parties and the holders of the Notes has, or shall

have, any lien, claim or security interest in the Escrowed Property or any portion thereof. No financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code is on file in any jurisdiction claiming a security interest in or describing (whether specifically or generally) the Escrowed Property or any part thereof.

(f) All of its representations and warranties contained herein are true and complete as of the date hereof and will be true and complete at the time of any disbursement of the Escrowed Property.

13. USA PATRIOT ACT. None of Secured Party or Depositor is (or will be) a person with whom Escrow Agent is restricted from doing business with under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America (including, those persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with such persons. In addition, Secured Party and Depositor hereby agree to provide Escrow Agent with any additional information that Escrow Agent deems necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities.

Section 5318 (“Patriot Act”): IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for depositors: When a depositor opens an account, if such depositor is an individual, a lender (including Escrow Agent) will ask for such depositor’s name, taxpayer identification number, residential address, date of birth, and other information that will allow the lender to identify such depositor, and, if such depositor is not an individual, Escrow Agent will ask for such depositor’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the lender to identify such depositor. Escrow Agent may also ask, if such depositor is an individual, to see depositor’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and, if such depositor is not an individual, to see such depositor’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents. In the event Secured Party or Depositor violates any of the provisions of the USA Patriot Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, or applicable regulations thereunder, such event shall constitute a default hereunder and shall entitle Escrow Agent to exercise all of its rights and remedies at law or in equity, including but not limited to terminating this Agreement.

14. ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. Escrow Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to not accept appointment as escrow agent and reject any funds and collateral from Depositor or Secured Party in the event that Escrow Agent has reasonable belief to believe that such funds or collateral violate applicable banking practices or applicable laws or regulations, including but not limited to the Patriot Act. In the event of suspicious or illegal activity and pursuant to all applicable laws, regulations and practices, each of the other Parties to this Agreement will assist Escrow Agent and comply with any reviews, investigations and examinations directed against the Escrowed Property.

15. DEPOSITOR’S LIMITED RIGHTS IN ESCROWED PROPERTY; SECURITY INTEREST.

(a) Depositor hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Secured Party, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, as security for the due and punctual payment when due of all amounts that may be payable from time to time under the Indenture and the Notes in connection with an Escrow Redemption, a continuing security interest in, and a lien on, all of Depositor’s rights, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or arising, under this Agreement and in all right, title and interest of Depositor, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in the Escrow Account, the Escrowed Property and all security entitlements in respect of financial assets credited to the Escrow Account from time to time.

(b) Depositor represents and warrants that the security interest of Secured Party in this Agreement, to the extent that Depositor has rights herein, and the Escrow Account and Escrowed Property, will, after execution and delivery of this Agreement by all parties hereto, at all times be valid, perfected and enforceable (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as a first priority security interest by Secured Party against Depositor and all third parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Depositor represents and warrants that it has not entered into, and agrees that it will not enter into, any control agreement or any other agreement relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Account or the Escrowed Property with any other third party without the prior written consent of Escrow Agent, Secured Party and the Representatives.

Escrow Agent represents and warrants that it is a “Securities Intermediary” with respect to the Escrow Account and the “Financial Assets” credited to the Escrow Account. Except as specifically provided herein, the terms of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, or any successor provision (the “Code”), will apply to this Agreement, and all terms quoted in this Section 15(c) and 15(e) will have the meanings assigned to them by Article 8 and Article 9 of the Code.

(d) Escrow Agent hereby agrees that all property delivered to Escrow Agent for crediting to the Escrow Account will be promptly credited to the Escrow Account by Escrow Agent, subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 3. Escrow Agent represents and warrants that it has not entered into, and agrees that it will not enter into, any control agreement or any other agreement relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Account or the Escrowed Property with any other third party without the prior written consent of Depositor, Secured Party and the

Representatives. The parties agree that all financial assets (except cash) credited to the Escrow Account will be registered in the name of Escrow Agent for the benefit of Secured Party or indorsed to Escrow Agent for the benefit of Secured Party or in blank and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Escrow Account be registered in the name of Depositor, payable to the order of Depositor or specially indorsed to Depositor unless such financial asset has been further indorsed to Escrow Agent for the benefit of Secured Party or in blank.

(e) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Escrow Account and the Escrowed Property will be under the control (within the meanings of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the Code) of Secured Party (in accordance with the Indenture) and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Escrow Agent will comply with all “Entitlement Orders” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the Code) with respect to the Escrow Account and all instructions directing disposition of funds in the Escrow Account, in each case originated by Secured Party (in accordance with the Indenture) without further consent of Depositor or any other person; provided, however, that so long as Secured Party has not notified Escrow Agent in writing that a Default (as defined in the Indenture) exists or following the receipt by Escrow Agent and Escrow Agent of a written notice from Secured Party that any existing Default (as defined in the Indenture) has been cured or waived, Escrow Agent shall honor investment instructions issued by Depositor as provided in Section 3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Escrow Agent receives conflicting orders or instructions from Secured Party and Depositor, Escrow Agent shall comply with such orders or instructions of Secured Party without further consent by Depositor or any other person.

(f) Depositor agrees to take all steps reasonably necessary in connection with the perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in this Agreement and the Escrowed Property and the protection of the Escrowed Property from claims by third parties and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Depositor hereby authorizes Secured Party and the Initial Purchasers on behalf of Secured Party to file one or more UCC financing statements in such jurisdictions and filing offices and containing such description of collateral as the Initial Purchasers on behalf of Secured Party, may determine are reasonably necessary in order to perfect the security interest granted herein, and any such filing is authorized to be made by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel on behalf of Secured Party. Depositor represents and warrants that it is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the state of Delaware and is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction, and Depositor hereby agrees that, prior to the termination of this Agreement, it will not change its legal name or jurisdiction of organization without giving Secured Party and the Initial Purchasers not less than 15 days’ prior written notice thereof (other than as contemplated in connection with the Company Assumption).

Secured Party will, at the reasonable request of Depositor, take all steps reasonably necessary to terminate any financing statements and will execute such other

documents without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind as Depositor may reasonably request in writing to evidence or confirm the termination of the security interest in such released Escrowed Property.

If Depositor or Escrow Agent becomes aware that any person or entity is asserting any lien, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process or any claim of control) against any of the Escrowed Property held in or credited to the Escrow Account, such Party shall promptly notify the other Parties hereto thereof.
