(b)The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower and each Guarantor of this Amendment are within the Borrower’s and such Guarantor’s corporate or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action and, if required, action by any holders of its Equity Interests.

(d)After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 5.Ratification and Reaffirmation; Effect of this Amendment.

For greater certainty and without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby (I) confirms that (i) the existing security interests granted by such Loan Party in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the Collateral described therein shall continue to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as and to the extent provided therein and (ii) neither the modifications effected pursuant to this Amendment nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Amendment (A) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any Loan Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred or (B) requires that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens and (II) ratifies its guarantee of the Obligations as provided in any Guaranty that is effective immediately prior to the date hereof.
(b)Except as expressly set forth or referenced herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver or novation of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent under, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be

deemed to entitle any party hereto to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.
(c)Unless the context otherwise requires, from and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import, and each reference to the “Credit Agreement” or words of like import in any other Loan Document shall be deemed a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 6.GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Section 11.14 and Section 11.15 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment, mutatis mutandis.
SECTION 7.Headings. Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.
SECTION 8.Execution in Counterparts; Effectiveness. 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 contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic imaging (including in .pdf format) means 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 the keeping of records in electronic form, 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. Except as provided in Section 5, this Amendment shall become effective by and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
SECTION 9.Payment of Expenses.
