B. Subject to the terms of that certain Amendment No. 2 to Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Amendment”),

3.2 Permitted Payments and Accruals. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Subordinated Creditor to:

(b) so long as no Event of Default is then outstanding, receive from RCM or any other Borrower regularly scheduled payments of interest pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Debt
Documents.
3.3 Blockage in Connection with Senior Obligations Default. The Subordinated Creditor and the Borrowers hereby agree that, if an Event of Default is then outstanding, no
Borrower shall make and the Subordinated Creditor shall not accept, prior to the Termination Date, any payments on the Subordinated Obligations (including without limitation regularly scheduled payments of interest), whether or not the Senior
Obligations have been voided, disallowed or subordinated pursuant to Sections 510, 547 or 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state or federal fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar laws.
3.4 Distributions, Etc. In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the subordination provided for herein, the Subordinated Creditor further agrees as follows:
(a) In the event of any distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of a
Borrower or the proceeds thereof, to creditors of a Borrower, or upon any repayment of indebtedness of a Borrower, by reason of (1) the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up, partial or complete, of such Borrower, such Borrower’s assets, or
such Borrower’s business, or (2) any receivership, insolvency proceeding, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (each, an “Insolvency Proceeding”),
then and in any such event:
(i) the Subordinated Creditor will receive no payments until the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash;
(ii) any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property which, but for this Agreement, would be payable or deliverable upon or with
respect to any or all of the Subordinated Obligations, shall instead be paid or delivered directly to the Senior Agent for application to the Senior Obligations, whether then due or not due, until the Senior Obligations (other than unasserted
contingent indemnification and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations, in each case, not yet due and payable) shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash; and
(iii) the Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Senior Agent to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give
acquittance therefor, and to file and/or vote claims and take such other action in any Insolvency Proceeding, in the Senior Agent’s (or any Lender’s) name or in the name of the Subordinated Creditor, or otherwise, as the Senior Agent may deem
necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the filing of any proof of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and voting such claim in any Insolvency Proceeding of a Borrower). In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Subordinated Creditor agrees duly and promptly (in each case at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers) (A) to take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Senior Agent to assist in the collection of
the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Senior Agent (and the Lenders), (B) to file appropriate proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, and (C) to execute and deliver to the Senior Agent on demand such powers of
attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of claim or other instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Senior Agent to enable the Senior Agent to enforce any and all claims upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations, and to collect
and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations.
3.5 Turnover. If any payment, distribution of any assets or security or proceeds of any assets or security are received by the Subordinated Creditor upon or in respect of the
Subordinated Obligations in contravention of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, Sections 3.1 and 3.4(a)), the Subordinated Creditor will forthwith deliver the same to the Senior Agent in the form received (except
for the endorsement or assignment of the Subordinated Creditor where necessary), for application to the Senior Obligations, whether then due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Subordinated Creditor for the
benefit of the Senior Agent and the Lenders. In the event of the failure of the Subordinated Creditor to make any such endorsement or assignment, the Senior Agent, or any of its officers or employees, are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the
same.
3.6 Continuing Subordination, Etc. The subordination effected by this Agreement is a continuing subordination, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination
Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Subordinated Creditor shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by any circumstance or condition (whether or not the Subordinated Creditor shall have any
notice or knowledge thereof) including, without limitation, any amendment or modification of or supplement to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, increasing the amount or extending the maturity of the
Senior Obligations); any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such agreements or instruments, or any exercise or failure to exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in
respect of any such agreements or instruments, or any exercise or failure to exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any such agreements or instruments; any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of
any term hereof or of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; any failure on the part of a Borrower or any other Person for any reason to perform or comply with any term of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; any furnishing or
acceptance of any additional security or guaranty; any release of the Subordinated Creditor or any other Person or any release of any or all security or any or all guarantees for the Senior Obligations, whether any such release is granted in
connection with a Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise; any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Subordinated Creditor or any other Person or their respective properties or creditors; the application of payments received by the Senior Agent or
any Lender from any source that were lawfully used for some other purpose, which lawfully could have been applied to the payment, in full or in part, of the Senior Obligations; or any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to
the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time that the Credit Agreement is amended to increase the amount of the Secured Obligations or any supplement including any credit extended in an Insolvency Proceeding, the
amount of the Senior Obligations shall be accordingly increased.
3.7 Waiver of Notice. The Subordinated Creditor hereby unconditionally waives notice of the incurring of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and reliance by the Senior
Agent or any Lender upon the subordination of the Subordinated Obligations to the Senior Obligations and any other similar notice provided by law or contract.
3.8 Subrogation. The Subordinated Creditor hereby waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnity whatsoever in respect of the Subordinated Obligations
arising out of remedies exercised by the Senior Agent hereunder until after the Termination Date.
3.9 Certain Covenants of Subordinated Creditor.
(a) The Subordinated Creditor agrees that (i) promptly upon the written request of the Senior Agent, the Subordinated Creditor shall take such other action as may be reasonably
requested by the Senior Agent to protect the rights of the Senior Agent and the other Senior Creditors under this Agreement or effectuate the subordination provided herein (at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers), (ii) the Subordinated
Obligations shall not at any time be secured by any lien or security interest on property of any Borrower or affiliate thereof nor shall they be guaranteed by any Borrower or any affiliate of any Borrower, and (iii) none of the Subordinated
Obligations shall be sold, pledged, encumbered, assigned or otherwise transferred to any Person or shall be compromised or forgiven; provided, however, that the Subordinated Creditor may assign the Subordinated Obligations if (a)
the Senior Agent provides written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (b) such assignee or assignees agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
(b) The Subordinated Creditor agrees not to initiate, prosecute or participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, amount, validity, perfection or
priority of any portion of the Senior Obligations or any liens and security interests securing any portion of the Senior Obligations either in the context of an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise.
(c) The Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not object to or oppose any cash collateral usage or debtor-in-possession financing or any sale or other disposition of any property
securing all of any part of the Senior Obligations free and clear of the Subordinated Obligations under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other law applicable in an Insolvency Proceeding, if the Senior Agent has consented to such sale or
disposition.
(d) The Subordinated Creditor agrees that the Senior Obligations shall continue to be treated as Senior Obligations and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the
relative rights and priorities of the Senior Creditors and the Subordinated Creditor even if all or part of the Senior Obligations or the Liens or security interests securing the Senior Obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated,
or disallowed in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding, and this Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Obligations or
any representative of such holder.
(e) The Subordinated Creditor agrees to execute, verify, deliver, and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations reasonably requested by the Senior Agent in
connection with any Insolvency Proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Senior Agent to file proofs of claim on behalf of the Subordinated Creditor upon the failure of the Subordinated Creditor to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Senior Agent shall have no affirmative obligation to file any such proof of claim on behalf of the Subordinated Creditor. The Subordinated Creditor agrees not to support any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency Proceeding that does not provide
for the prior payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations, in each case, not yet due and payable) and will not oppose a plan supported by Senior Creditors or take other actions inconsistent with this Agreement. The Senior Agent shall be allowed to prosecute the claims of the Subordinated Creditor on behalf of the Subordinated Creditor in any Insolvency Proceeding.
(f) The Subordinated Creditor shall cause the Subordinated Note, at all times, to bear a prominent legend stating that the Subordinated Note
is subject to the terms of this Agreement and may not be paid or transferred in violation of this Agreement.
3.10 Amendments to Subordinated Debt Documents. The Subordinated Creditor
agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Senior Agent (which consent may be withheld by the Senior Agent in its sole discretion), it will not enter into any amendments to the Subordinated Debt Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Subordinated Debt Documents shall have no negative pledge, no financial covenants and no covenants which are more stringent than those set forth in the Loan Documents. The Subordinated
Creditor and RCM agree to enter into such amendments to the Subordinated Debt Documents as may be necessary to incorporate the terms of this Section 3.10 but the failure to do so shall not impair the effectiveness of this Section 3.10, the terms of which shall be deemed incorporated into the Subordinated Debt Documents.
3.11 Standstill on Enforcement of Remedies. The Subordinated Creditor agrees that at any time prior to the Termination Date, if there is an “event of default” under the Subordinated Debt
Documents, the Subordinated Creditor will refrain from Enforcing Remedies until the Termination Date has occurred.
3.12 No Cross-Default. The Subordinated Creditor agrees that the Subordinated Debt Documents and any other document executed in connection with the Subordinated Obligations
shall not contain a cross-default or cross-acceleration to Defaults or Events of Default under the Credit Agreement.

upon the subordination of the Subordinated Obligations to the Senior Obligations as provided herein.
4. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. On the Termination Date, this Agreement and all other rights and obligations granted hereby or arising hereunder shall terminate. If, for any
reason, any or all of the Senior Creditors are required to return any funds they received in respect of the Senior Obligations, this Agreement and all obligations hereunder shall be reinstated.
5. PAYMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES.
5.1 Payment of Costs and Expenses. Without limiting any other cost reimbursement provisions in the Loan Documents, upon demand, RCM shall pay to the Senior Agent the amount of
any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Senior Agent hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without limitation those that may be incurred in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement, (b) the exercise or enforcement
of any of the rights of the Senior Agent hereunder or (c) the failure of the Subordinated Creditor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
5.2 Senior Obligations. Any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5 shall be Senior Obligations.
6. MISCELLANEOUS.

fees payable to the Senior Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Senior Agent, the Subordinated Creditor and the Borrowers and when the Senior Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signature of
each of the parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page counterpart hereof by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed

applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform
Commercial Code, each as amended, and the parties hereto hereby waive any objection to the contrary, provided that (a) nothing herein shall require the Senior Agent to accept electronic signature counterparts in any form or format
and (b) the Senior Agent reserves the right to require, at any time and at its sole discretion, the delivery of manually executed counterpart signature pages to this Agreement and the parties hereto agree to promptly deliver such manually executed
counterpart signature pages.
6.2 Specific Performance. The Subordinated Creditor hereby authorizes the Senior Agent to demand specific performance of this Agreement at any time when the Subordinated Creditor shall have failed to comply with any
provision hereof, and the Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance hereof in any action brought therefor.6.3 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Senior Agent may assign or transfer this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations
hereunder without the consent of the Subordinated Creditor. The Subordinated Creditor shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Senior Agent or as expressly provided
in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there should be any assignment of any rights or obligations by operation of law or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, then all covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made herein or pursuant hereto by or on behalf of the Subordinated Creditor shall bind the successors and assigns of the Subordinated Creditor, together with the preexisting Subordinated Creditor, whether or not such new or
additional Persons execute a joinder hereto or assumption hereof. The rights and privileges of the Senior Agent under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. All promises, covenants and agreements of the
Subordinated Creditor contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of such Person.
