representations, insofar as they relate to the Pledged Equity Interests and Pledged Debt Securities issued by a Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, are made to the knowledge of the applicable Grantor;
6

security interests granted hereunder and under any other Note Documents, each of the Grantors (i) is and, subject to any transfers made in compliance with the Note Purchase Agreement, will continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of

otherwise affect in any manner adverse to the Secured Parties in any material respect the pledge of such Pledged Collateral hereunder, the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Collateral Agent (acting at the
direction of the Required Purchasers) of rights and remedies hereunder;
(e) each of the
Grantors has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated; and
(f) by virtue of the
execution and delivery by the Grantors of this Agreement, when any Pledged Securities are delivered to the Collateral Agent (or, to the Controlling Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor
Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured Parties) in accordance with this Agreement, the Collateral Agent will obtain a legal, valid and perfected lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Securities, free

2.06 are being suspended:
(i) each Grantor shall
be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Equity Interests or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement
and the other Note Documents; provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of

(ii) the Collateral
Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall promptly execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be promptly executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such

(iii) each Grantor
shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and/or Pledged Securities, as the case may be, to the extent and only
to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and are otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement, the other Note Documents and
applicable laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Debt Securities, whether

result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such
Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral
Agent (or, to the Controlling Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured Parties) in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsements, stock or note powers and other instruments of transfer reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers)).
8
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, and, subject to the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement, after the Collateral Agent shall have given the Grantors two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of the suspension of their rights
under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and
all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions; provided that the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the

the other Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent (or, to the Controlling Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the
Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured Parties) upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements, stock or note powers and other instruments of transfer
reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers)). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. After all Events of Default have been
cured or waived and the Borrower has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to that effect, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest,
principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 and that remain in such account.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, and, subject to the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement, after the Collateral Agent shall have given the Grantors two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of the suspension of their rights
under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Collateral
Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual
rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Purchasers, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall have the right
from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Borrower has delivered to the Collateral Agent a
certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to that effect, all rights vested in the Collateral Agent pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall cease, and the Grantors shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and consensual
rights and powers they would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06.

at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Article 9 Collateral”):
(I) all Accounts;
(II) all Chattel
Paper;
(III) all Cash and
Deposit Accounts;
(IV) all Documents;
(V) all Equipment;
(VI) all General
Intangibles, including all Intellectual Property;
(VII) all Instruments;
(VIII) all Inventory;
(IX) all other Goods
and Fixtures;
(X) all Investment
Property;
(XI) all
Letter-of-Credit Rights;
10
(XII) all Commercial
Tort Claims specifically described on Schedule IV hereto, as such schedule may be supplemented from time to time pursuant to Section 3.04(c);
(XIII) all books and
records pertaining to the Article 9 Collateral; and
(XIV) to the extent not
otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all supporting obligations, collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing;
provided that in no event shall the Security Interest
attach to and no representation, warranty or covenant contained herein or in any other Security Document shall apply to (A) any Excluded Assets and (B) the Excluded Equity Interests (it being understood that, to the extent the Security Interest
shall not have attached to any such asset as a result of clauses (A) and (B) above, the term “Article 9 Collateral” shall not include any such asset).
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Required Purchasers (or its designee) at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements (including fixture filings but excluding Intellectual Property filings, which are
addressed below) with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto, including continuations, that (i) describe the collateral covered thereby in any manner that the Required Purchasers reasonably determines is necessary
or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted under this Agreement, including indicating the Collateral as “all assets” of such Grantor or words of similar effect, and (ii) contain the information
required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of
organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor, if applicable, and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Article 9
Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers).
Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Required Purchasers (or their agent) to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing
statements or amendments thereto with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof naming any Grantor as debtor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party, if filed prior to the date hereof.
The Required Purchasers (or their agents) are further authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States
Copyright Office (or any successor office) such documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of United
States registered or applied for Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights, including exclusive Copyright Licenses, granted by each Grantor and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party. No Grantor shall be
required to complete any filings or other action with respect to the perfection of the Security Interests created hereby in any Intellectual Property subsisting in any jurisdiction outside of the United States.
11
(c) The Security Interest and the
security interest granted pursuant to Article II are granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or
arising out of the Collateral.
SECTION 3.02 Representations and
Warranties. The Grantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:
(a) Each Grantor has good and valid
rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently
conducted or as proposed to be conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes, in each case except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect, and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained and except to the extent that failure to obtain or make such consent or approval, as the
case may be, individually or in aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The Information Certificate has been
duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal name and jurisdiction of organization of each Grantor, is correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof (except that
the information therein with respect to the exact legal name of each Grantor shall be true and correct in all respects). The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings,
recordings or registrations prepared by the Purchasers (or their agent) based upon the information provided to the Collateral Agent in the Information Certificate for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule
2 to the Information Certificate (or specified by notice from the Borrower to the Collateral Agent after the date hereof in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Sections 5.1(c) or 5.1(l) of the Note Purchase Agreement),
are all the filings, recordings and registrations (other than filings required to be made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office in order to perfect the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral
consisting of United States registered or applied for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, including exclusive Copyright Licenses) that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration of financing statements in the United States (or any political subdivision
thereof) under the Uniform Commercial Code, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the
filing of amendment or continuation statements (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States registered or applied for Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights, including exclusive Copyright Licenses, acquired or developed by a Grantor after the date hereof). The Grantors represent and warrant that one or more fully executed IP Security Agreements, as applicable, in each case containing a
description of the Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States registered Patents, United States registered Trademarks and United States registered Copyrights, including exclusive Copyright Licenses (and applications for any of the
foregoing), as applicable, and executed by each Grantor owning any such Article 9 Collateral, have been delivered to the Purchasers (or their agent or designee) for recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United
States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, to protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States registered and applied for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, including exclusive Copyright Licenses but excluding
Excluded Assets, in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, and taking into account filing of the Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements described above, no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with
respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States registered or applied for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, including exclusive Copyright Licenses, acquired or developed by a Grantor after the date hereof).
12
(c) The Security Interest constitutes (i)
a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings described in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.02, a perfected security interest in all
Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) pursuant to the Uniform Commercial
Code or other applicable law in such jurisdictions and (iii) subject to the filings described in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.02, a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be
perfected upon the receipt and recording of an IP Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, within the three‑month period after the date hereof pursuant to 35
U.S.C. § 261 or 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or the one-month period after the date hereof pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 205.
(d) The Security Interest is and shall be
prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than Liens not prohibited by Section 5.2(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement. The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens not
prohibited by Section 5.2(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable laws covering
any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the
United States Copyright Office or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other
office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens not prohibited by Section 5.2(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement.
13
SECTION 3.03 Covenants.
(a) Each Grantor shall, at its own
expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons, except with respect to Article 9 Collateral that such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment is
no longer necessary or beneficial to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not permitted pursuant to Section
5.2(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement, subject to the rights of such Grantor under Section 7.15 of the Note Purchase Agreement and corresponding provisions of the Security Documents to obtain a release of the Liens created under the Security
Documents.
(b) Each Grantor agrees, at its own
expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may from time to time
reasonably request, in each case to the extent consistent with the terms of the Note Documents, to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees
and Taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or
therewith.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required
Purchasers), with prompt written notice thereof to the Grantors, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule III or adding additional schedules hereto to identify specifically any asset or item that may constitute a United States
application or registration for any Copyright, Patent or Trademark owned by a Grantor and that has not been previously reported to the Collateral Agent; provided that any Grantor shall have the right, exercisable within thirty (30) days (or such
longer period as shall be agreed by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers)) after it has been notified in writing by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) of
the specific identification of such Collateral, to advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any inaccuracy (i) with respect to such supplement or additional schedule or (ii) of the representations and warranties made by such Grantor hereunder with
respect to such Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers), it will use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be reasonably
necessary in order that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct with respect to such Collateral within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as shall be agreed by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent (acting at the
direction of the Required Purchasers)) after the date it has been notified in writing by the Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral.
14
In the event that any such Grantor, whether by acquisition, assignment, filing or otherwise, acquires any right in Intellectual Property (including,
without limitation, continuation-in-part patent applications, but excluding any Intellectual Property constituting Excluded Assets) after the date hereof (collectively, the “After-Acquired
Intellectual Property”), (i) such After-Acquired Intellectual Property shall automatically be included as part of the Collateral and shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) the Borrower will
furnish to the Collateral Agent, at the time of delivery of each Compliance Certificate provided for in Section 5.1(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement for the financial statements required to be delivered under Section 5.1(a) of the Note Purchase
Agreement, an updated Schedule III identifying the After-Acquired Intellectual Property that is (x) owned or licensed (in the case of exclusive Copyright Licenses) by such Grantor and (y) issued by, registered with or filed in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, acquired during such fiscal year and (iii) each applicable Grantor shall promptly after delivery of such updated Schedule III, execute supplements to Exhibits II, III
or IV, as applicable, to record, or cause to be recorded, the grant of the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property. Each applicable Grantor authorizes the Required Purchasers (or their agent or designee) to file
such supplements to Exhibits II, III or IV, as applicable, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office) to record the grant of the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired
Intellectual Property. As soon as practicable upon each such filing and recording, such Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent true and correct copies of the relevant documents, instruments and receipts evidencing such filing and
recording. If any amounts payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note (which may be a global note) or other instrument (other than any promissory note or other instrument
in an aggregate principal amount of less than $10,000,000 owed to the applicable Grantor by any Person), such note or instrument shall be promptly (but in any event within 90 days of receipt by such Grantor or such longer period as the Collateral
Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may agree in its reasonable discretion) pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent (or, to the Controlling Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the Revolving/Note
Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured Parties), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, together with an undated instrument of transfer duly executed in blank and in a manner reasonably satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers).
(c) If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing and, subject to the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have given the Grantors notice of its intent to exercise such rights, at its option, the Collateral Agent (acting at
the direction of the Required Purchasers) may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section
5.2(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Note Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or any other Note Document
and within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent, within ten (10) days after written demand, for any reasonable
payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as
excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens,
security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Note Documents.
15
(d) Each Grantor shall remain liable, as
between such Grantor and the relevant counterparty under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under such
contract, agreement or instrument, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against any and
all liability for such performance.
(e) It is understood that no Grantor
shall be required by this Agreement to perfect the security interests created hereunder by any means other than (i) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, (ii) filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United
States Copyright Office (or any successor office) in respect of United States registered Intellectual Property owned or licensed (in the case of exclusive Copyright Licenses) by the Grantor, (iii) in the case of Collateral that constitutes
Tangible Chattel Paper, Pledged Securities, Instruments, or Certificated Securities, or Negotiable Documents, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent (or, to the Controlling Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the
Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured Parties), in each case to the extent required hereunder and in accordance with the terms hereof (together with, where applicable, undated
stock or note powers or other undated proper instruments of assignment) and (iv) other actions to the extent required by Section 3.04 hereunder. No Grantor shall be required to (i) complete or effect any filings or take any other action with
respect to the perfection of the security interests created hereby in any jurisdiction outside of the United States or (ii) deliver control agreements with respect to, or confer perfection by “control” over, any Deposit Accounts and other bank
or securities or commodities accounts or any other assets requiring perfection by control agreements.
(f) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement, after written notice to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the
Required Purchasers) may make, settle and adjust claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such
policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any
premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in
its sole discretion and subject to the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent (acting at
the direction of the Required Purchasers) reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges
relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 3.04 Other Actions.
In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with
respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:
16
(a) Instruments. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments constituting Collateral (other than Instruments with a face amount of less than
$10,000,000 and for avoidance of doubt other than checks to be deposited in the ordinary course of business), such Grantor shall promptly (but in any event within ninety (90) days of receipt by such Grantor or such longer period as the
Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may agree in its reasonable discretion) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent (or, to the Controlling Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with
the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured Parties), accompanied by such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent
(acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may from time to time reasonably request.
(b) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the
same to the Collateral Agent (or, to the Controlling Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured Parties), accompanied by
such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may from time to time reasonably request.
(c) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $10,000,000, such Grantor shall, at the time of delivery of each Compliance
Certificate provided for in Section 5.1(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement for the financial statements required to be delivered under Section 5.1(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement, notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such
Grantor, including a summary description of such claim, and Schedule IV shall be deemed to be supplemented to include such description of such commercial tort claim as set forth in such writing.
(d) Limitations on Perfection. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no actions in any non-U.S. jurisdiction or required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required to be taken to create any
security interests in assets located or titled outside of the United States (including any Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary and foreign Intellectual Property) or to perfect or make enforceable any security interests in any such assets
(it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction).
17
SECTION 3.05 Covenants Regarding
Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.
(a) Except to the extent failure so to
act would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect of the type referred to in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of such term in the Note Purchase Agreement, or except as otherwise provided in Section 3.05(d), with respect
to registration or pending application of each item of its owned United States Intellectual Property, each Grantor agrees (i) to maintain the validity and enforceability of any registered owned United States Intellectual Property (or
applications therefor) and to maintain such registrations and applications of such Intellectual Property in full force and effect and (ii) to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark or Copyright registration or
application, now or hereafter included in the owned United States Intellectual Property of such Grantor, including the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional,
continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings.
(b) Except as would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect of the type referred to in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of such term in the Note Purchase Agreement, or except as otherwise provided in Section 3.05(d), no Grantor shall do or permit any act or
knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its owned United States Intellectual Property may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in case of a trade secret, lose its competitive value).
(c) Except where failure to do so would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect of the type referred to in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of such term in the Note Purchase Agreement, each Grantor shall take all steps to preserve and protect each item of its
owned United States Intellectual Property, including maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the
Effective Date, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to the standards of quality.
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or put into the public domain any of its Intellectual Property to the extent not prohibited by the Note
Purchase Agreement.
18
ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01 Remedies upon Default.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and, subject to the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral
Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall have notified the Grantors in writing of its intent to exercise such rights, each Grantor agrees to deliver, on demand, each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent (or, to the
Controlling Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured Parties) or any Person designated by the Collateral Agent, and it is
agreed that the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall have the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of
Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
or to license or sublicense, whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required
Purchasers) shall determine (other than in violation of any then‑existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained) but subject to such restrictions provided in Section 4.03, and (b) with or without legal process and
with or without demand for performance but with written notice (which need not be prior notice), to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and the Pledged Collateral (subject to Article II) and without liability for trespass to enter any
premises where the Article 9 Collateral or the Pledged Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and the Pledged Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law
and the notice requirements described below, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the
Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to
do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon
consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any
sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal that such Grantor now
has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
19
The Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall give the applicable Grantors no less than 10 days’ written notice
(which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9‑611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a
public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral or portion
thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required
Purchasers) may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of
the Required Purchasers) may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such
Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the
Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this
Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent
permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured
Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall
be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion
thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power
of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to
a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court‑appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable
standards as provided in Section 9‑610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
SECTION 4.02 Application of Proceeds
. Subject to the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in the order
set forth in Section 5.8 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
The Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such
proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or
of the officer making the 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 Collateral Agent (or, to the Controlling Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured Parties) or such officer or be answerable in any
way for the misapplication thereof.
20
SECTION 4.03 Grant of License to Use
Intellectual Property. Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement, each Grantor, solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to the terms of
the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement, grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable (during the continuance of the Event of Default), nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to
use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property and Licenses (to the extent that they can be sublicensed or assigned to the Collateral Agent) now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the
same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof (in each case
subject to any Grantor’s reasonable security policies and obligations of confidentiality as previously disclosed to the Collateral Agent) to the extent that such non-exclusive license (a) does not violate the express terms of any agreement or
License between a Grantor and a third party governing the applicable Grantor’s use of such Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property and Licenses, or gives such third party any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation therein and
(b) is not prohibited by any Requirements of Law; provided that (i) such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of reasonable
quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks, (ii) such licenses granted with regard to trade secrets shall be subject to the requirement that
the trade secret status of such trade secrets be maintained and (iii) reasonable patent, trademark, copyright and proprietary notices are used. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent may only be exercised, at the option of the
Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers), during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement; provided further that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) in accordance herewith shall be binding
upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
21
SECTION 4.04 Securities Act.
In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute
hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any
disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt
to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal
restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor
recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among
other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the
Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers), in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part
thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws to the extent the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) has determined that such a registration is not required by any Requirement of Law and (b) may
approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to
the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged
Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers), in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a
substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of purchasers (or a single purchaser) were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.04 will
apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) sells.
ARTICLE V
Miscellaneous
SECTION 5.01 Notices. All
communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given
to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 7.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 5.02 Waivers; Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Collateral
Agent in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce
such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Note Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Note Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section 5.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Note Party in any case shall entitle any Note Party to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
22
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to
apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 7.10 of the Note Purchase Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required
Purchasers) may consent to a departure by any Grantor from any covenant of such Grantor set forth herein to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Collateral Agent set forth in the definition of the term “Collateral
and Guarantee Requirement” in the Note Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 5.03 Collateral Agent’s Fees
and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) Each Grantor, jointly with the other
Grantors and severally, agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its fees and expenses in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this
Agreement, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and incurred hereunder as provided in Section 8.3 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
(b) Each Grantor, jointly with the other
Grantors and severally, agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees as provided in Section 7.11 of the Note Purchase Agreement mutatis mutandis.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, no Grantor shall assert, and each Grantor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee for any direct or actual damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of information or other materials distributed to such
unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) in connection with this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, or any other Note Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such direct or actual damages are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of the Note Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, neither any Grantor nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Grantor or any Indemnitee, as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the Transactions, any Note or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(d) The provisions of this Section 5.03
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Note Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than thirty
(30) days after written demand therefor. Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations.
23
SECTION 5.04 Successors and Assigns.
Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the
Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 5.05 Survival of Agreement.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Note Parties in this Agreement or any other Note Document and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Note Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Note Documents, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured Party and notwithstanding
that the Collateral Agent, or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Note Document, and
shall continue in full force and effect until such time as the Termination Date shall have occurred.
SECTION 5.06 Counterparts;
Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall
be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and
assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Note
Purchase Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and
without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 5.07 Severability
. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good‑faith
negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
24
SECTION 5.08 [Reserved].
SECTION 5.09 Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Appointment of Service of Process Agent.
(a) This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby

any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in
such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Grantor or its respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each party to this Agreement hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement
irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5.01. Nothing in any Note Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(e) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably
designates, appoints and empowers the Borrower as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents
that may be served in any such action or proceeding.
25
SECTION 5.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT OR

SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.10.

SECTION 5.12 Security Interest
Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Note Purchase Agreement, any other Note Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b)
any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Note Purchase Agreement, any other Note Document or any
other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee securing or guaranteeing all or any of the

SECTION 5.13 Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement, the Security Interest
and all other security interests granted hereby shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of the Termination Date.
(b) The Security Interest and all other
security interests granted hereby shall also terminate and be released at the time or times and in the manner set forth in Section 7.15 of the Note Purchase Agreement. A Subsidiary Note Party shall also be released from its obligations under
this Agreement at the time or times and in the manner set forth in Section 7.15 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
(c) In connection with any termination or
release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall execute and deliver to any Note Party, at such Note Party’s expense, all documents that such Note Party
shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release and the Collateral Agent shall, following the reasonable request of such Note Party, deliver to such Note Party the certificates and instruments evidencing the Collateral so
released that are then held by the Collateral Agent hereunder. Any execution and delivery of documents by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
26
SECTION 5.14 Additional Grantors.
Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, additional Subsidiaries, Successor Holdings or a Successor Borrower may or may be required to become Grantors after the date hereof. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a Subsidiary,
Successor Holdings or a Successor Borrower of a Supplement (which shall be accompanied by an Information Certificate duly executed by such Subsidiary, Successor Holdings or Successor Borrower), any such Subsidiary, Successor Holdings or a
Successor Borrower shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as such herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights
and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Subsidiary, Successor Holdings or a Successor Borrower as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 5.15 Collateral Agent
Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument
that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement, which
appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest until the Termination Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall have the right, but only upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement, written notice by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, with full
power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the
Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of
the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise
realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to
require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all
other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be
construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any
action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually
received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact.
27
SECTION 5.16 Discretionary Acts.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein or in the other Loan Documents, whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any other Notes Document to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or
approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment,
expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood that the Collateral Agent shall be acting at the written direction of the Required Purchasers
or Purchasers, as applicable, and shall be fully protected in acting pursuant to such directions.
SECTION 5.17 Limitation on the Collateral Agent’s Duties in Respect of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. The Collateral
Agent shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Collateral
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 5.18 Benefit of the Secured Parties. All liens and security interests granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
SECTION 5.19 Agent Provisions.
Grantors hereby agrees that the provisions of Article 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis; provided
that all references in Article 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement to “Borrower” or “Note Party” shall be deemed to refer to each Grantor.
SECTION 5.20 Intercreditor Agreements
Govern. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are
subject to the provisions of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable
Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor and each other applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as the Collateral Agent is not the
Controlling Collateral Agent, any requirement of this Agreement to deliver any Collateral to the Collateral Agent (including any extension of time of delivery thereof) shall be deemed complied with and satisfied by delivery of such Collateral to
the Controlling Collateral Agent in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents (as defined in the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement) of the series for which the Controlling Collateral Agent is acting, as gratuitous bailee of the
Collateral pursuant to the Revolving/Note Intercreditor Agreement.

Exhibit I to the
Collateral Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO. __ dated as of [ ] (this “Supplement”), to the Collateral Agreement
dated as of August 7, 2024 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Collateral Agreement”), VACASA HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Holdings”), V-REVOLVER SUB LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the other GRANTORS
from time to time party hereto and Acquiom Agency Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, as Collateral Agent (in such capacity and together with successors in such capacity, the “Collateral
Agent”).
A. Reference is made to (a) the Note
Purchase Agreement dated as of August 7, 2024 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among Holdings,
the Borrower, Vacasa, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), the Purchasers party thereto and Acquiom Agency Services LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and (b) the
Collateral Agreement.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Collateral Agreement, as applicable.
C. The Grantors have entered into the
Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Purchasers to purchase the convertible notes. Section 5.14 of the Collateral Agreement provides that [additional Subsidiaries] [Successor Borrower] [Successor Holdings] may become Grantors under the
Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned [Subsidiary] [Successor Borrower] [Successor Holdings] (the “New Grantor”)
is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Note Purchase Agreement to become a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement to secure Obligations.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.14
of the Collateral Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor, and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the
terms and provisions of the Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date
hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Pledged Collateral and the Article 9 Collateral (as each such term is defined in the Collateral Agreement). Each reference to a
“Grantor” in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
40
SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and
warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that enforceability of such obligations may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed
in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this
Supplement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement. This Supplement shall become effective as to the New Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on
behalf of the New Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent and
their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the New Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that the New Grantor shall not have the
right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly provided in this Supplement, the Collateral Agreement and the Note Purchase
Agreement.
SECTION 4. The New Grantor hereby represents
and warrants that, as of the date hereof, (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a schedule with the true and correct legal name of the New Grantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office, (b)
Schedule II sets forth a true and complete list, with respect to the New Grantor, of (i) all the Equity Interests owned by the New Grantor in any Subsidiary and the percentage of the issued and outstanding units of each class of the Equity
Interests of the issuer thereof represented by the Pledged Equity Interests owned by the New Grantor and (ii) all the Pledged Debt Securities owned by the New Grantor and (c) Schedule III attached hereto sets forth (i) all of the New Grantor’s
Patents constituting Article 9 Collateral, including the name of the registered owner, type, registration or application number and the expiration date (if already registered) of each such Patent owned by the New Grantor, (ii) all of the New
Grantor’s Trademarks constituting Article 9 Collateral, including the name of the registered owner, the registration or application number and the expiration date (if already registered) of each such Trademark owned by the New Grantor, and
(iii) all of the New Grantor’s Copyrights (including exclusive Copyright Licenses) constituting Article 9 Collateral, including the name of the registered owner, title and, if applicable, the registration number of each such Copyright owned or
licensed by the New Grantor, and (d) Schedule IV attached hereto sets forth, as of the date hereof, each Commercial Tort Claim in respect of which a complaint or counterclaim has been filed by the New Grantor seeking damages in an amount of
$10,000,000 or more.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented
hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
41
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. Any provision of this Supplement
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good‑faith negotiations to replace any invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices
hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 5.01 of the Collateral Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Grantor agrees to
reimburse the Collateral Agent for its fees and expenses incurred hereunder and under the Collateral Agreement as provided in Section 9.03(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement; provided
that each reference therein to the “Borrower” shall be deemed to be a reference to “the New Grantor” and each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” shall be deemed to be a reference to the “Collateral Agent.”
SECTION 10. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this
Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor and any other applicable Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms
of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor and any other applicable Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Revolving/Note Intercreditor and each other applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
