2. Effectiveness; Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment and the amendments to the Credit Agreement provided in Section 1 hereof are all subject to (a) the Administrative Agent’s receipt of counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Parent, the Lenders constituting Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (b) such other assurances, certificates, documents, consents or opinions as the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may reasonably require.

4. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, each of the Borrower and the Parent represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:
(a) At the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof except that (i) if a qualifier relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept applies, such representation shall be true and correct in all respects, (ii) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct as of such earlier date, and (iii) for the purposes of this Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.04 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Borrower and the Parent.

(c) After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
5. Entire Agreement. On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, this Amendment shall for all purposes constitute a Loan Document. This Amendment, the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Relevant Documents”), sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the parties relating to such subject matter. No promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not set forth in the Relevant Documents shall bind any party hereto, and no such party has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or warranty. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly stated in the Relevant Documents, no representations, warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made by any party to any other party in relation to the subject matter hereof or thereof.

6. Full Force and Effect of Credit Agreement. Except as hereby specifically amended, modified or supplemented, the Credit Agreement is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects and shall be and remain in full force and effect according to its terms. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.
7. Counterparts and Effectiveness. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Amendment. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or electronic delivery (including by .pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
8. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS AMENDMENT WILL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSES SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).
9. Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition of invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.
10. References. All references to the “Credit Agreement” in the Loan Documents shall mean the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Parent, the Swing Line Lender, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Parent, the Swing Line Lender, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the respective successors and assigns of the Borrower, the Parent, the Swing Line Lender, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
