SECTION 3.    Effect of Amendment.

The Amended Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as an amendment or waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or any Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute an amendment or waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 4.    Conditions to Effectiveness. The effectiveness of Section 1 of this Amendment shall be subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (the first date upon which such conditions precedent are satisfied, the “Amendment No. 1 Effective Date”):

(a)    the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower and Lenders constituting the Required Lenders either (x) counterparts of this Amendment No. 1 signed on behalf of such parties or (y) written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include delivery of an Electronic Record executed using Electronic Signatures (each as defined below)) that such parties have signed counterparts of this Amendment No. 1;

(b) to the extent invoiced at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date hereof and payable under and in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall have paid the reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with this Amendment (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred in connection with this Amendment;

(c) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower dated as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, to the effect set forth in Sections 2(i) and 2(ii) hereof; and

SECTION 5.    Acknowledgement and Affirmation.

(a)    The Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges the terms of this Amendment and affirms or reaffirms, as applicable, as of the date hereof the covenants and agreements contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party, including, in each case, such covenants and agreements as in effect immediately after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby.

-3-

(b)    The Borrower, by its signature below, hereby affirms and confirms (1) its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and (2) the pledge of and/or grant of a security interest in its assets as Collateral to secure such Obligations, all as provided in the Collateral Documents as originally executed, and acknowledges and agrees that such guarantee, pledge and/or grant continue in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, such Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 6.    Counterparts; eSignatures.

(a)    This Amendment 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 counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(b)    This Amendment and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Amendment (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record (as defined below) and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (as defined below), including, without limitation, facsimile and/or .pdf. The Borrower agrees that any Electronic Signature (including, without limitation, facsimile or .pdf) on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on the Borrower to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered to the Administrative Agent.    Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed, original counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

SECTION 7.    Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
