10.Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
11.Further Assurances. The Borrower and each other Loan Party each agrees to execute such other documents, instruments and agreements and take such further actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to effectuate the provisions of this Amendment.
5
12.Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment that is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, solely as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Amendment or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Amendment in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Amendment is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.
13.Entire Agreement. This Amendment, the Existing Agreement (as amended hereby) and the other applicable Existing Documents (as amended hereby) constitute the entire agreement among the parties to the Existing Agreement and such other applicable Existing Document with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among such parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any exhibits or annexes attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
14.Binding Effect, Beneficiaries. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to the Existing Agreement and each other applicable Existing Document and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns, and no other party shall derive any rights or benefits herefrom.
15.Construction. This Amendment shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party drafting this Amendment.
16.Notices. All notices relating to this Amendment shall be delivered in the manner and subject to the provisions set forth in the Existing Agreement.
17.Counterparts; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein this Amendment shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or 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 (x) nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signature counterparts in any form or format and (y) the Administrative Agent reserves the right to require, at any time and at its sole discretion, the
6
delivery of manually executed counterpart signature pages to this Amendment and the parties hereto agree to promptly deliver such manually executed counterpart signature pages.
