Each Releasing Party further stipulates and agrees with respect to all Claims, that it hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by any applicable U.S. federal or state law, or any principle of common law, that would otherwise limit a release or discharge of any unknown Claims pursuant to this Section 8.
(b) By its execution hereof, each Loan Party hereby (i) acknowledges and confirms that as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date there are no existing defenses, claims, subordinations (whether equitable or otherwise), counterclaims or rights of recoupment or setoff against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Secured Parties in connection with the Secured Obligations or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or any other matters relating to the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or this Amendment and Waiver and (ii) expressly waives any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Loan Party has against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective affiliates as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, whether in connection with this Amendment and Waiver, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and Waiver or the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto.

The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Amendment and Waiver, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
9. Lender Acknowledgment. Each Lender that has signed this Amendment and Waiver shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Sixth Amendment Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Amendment and Waiver 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. This Amendment and Waiver, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract 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. Subject to the terms of Section 3 of this Amendment and Waiver, this Amendment and Waiver shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment and Waiver by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment and Waiver. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and Waiver and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries 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, physical delivery thereof 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.
23
(b) Successors and Assigns. This Amendment and Waiver shall be binding upon the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the respective successors and assigns of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
(c) Severability. Any provision of this Amendment and Waiver held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(d) References. All references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement and each reference to the “Credit Agreement”, (or the defined term “Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” of words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement) in the other Loan Documents shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and giving effect to the amendments contained in this Amendment and Waiver.
(e) Accounting Terms. Pursuant to Section 1.04 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Borrower hereby notifies the Administrative Agent (and receipt of such notice is hereby acknowledged by the Administrative Agent) that the Administrative Borrower requests an amendment to (x) the definition of “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” solely to the extent it is used for the purposes of clause (iv) of the definition of “Applicable Rate” and the definition of “Leverage Trigger Event” or any component definition used in determination of Consolidated Leverage Ratio in such case (in each case calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and without regard to the amendments effected pursuant to the Sixth Amendment) and (y) the definition of “Eligible Accounts” to eliminate the effect of application of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect). In accordance with Section 1.04 of the Credit Agreement, until the notice set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10(e) is withdrawn by the Administrative Borrower or the abovementioned provisions are amended, (a) the definition of “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” (to the extent it is used for the purposes of clause (iv) of the definition of “Applicable Rate” and the definition of “Leverage Trigger Event”), any component definition used in determination of Consolidated Leverage Ratio in such case (in each case calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and without regard to the amendments effected pursuant to the Sixth Amendment and (b) the definition of “Eligible Accounts” shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before the changes set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10(e) became effective.
(f) Governing Law. THIS AND AMENDMENT AND WAIVER 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 WAIVER AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(g) Entire Agreement. This Amendment and Waiver, the Credit Agreement (including giving effect to the amendments set forth in Section 2 above), and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Relevant Documents”), set forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersede 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
24
the Relevant Documents shall bind any party hereto, and no such party has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or warranty.

(h) Full Force and Effect of Credit Agreement.

Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and nothing contained in this Amendment and Waiver shall in any way impair the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, or alter, waive, annul, vary, affect, or impair any provisions, conditions, or covenants contained therein or any rights, powers, or remedies granted therein. This Amendment and Waiver shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or a course of dealing with Administrative Agent or the Lenders at variance with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents such as to require further notice by Administrative Agent or any Lender to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future, except in each case as expressly set forth herein. The Borrower acknowledges and expressly agrees that Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to, and do in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (subject to any qualifications set forth therein), as amended herein.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Amendment and Waiver or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Amendment and Waiver or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(j) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment and Waiver or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10(i). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(k) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT AND WAIVER OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY
25
HERETO (1) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING AMENDMENT AND WAIVER AND (2) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT AND WAIVER BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10(k).
(l) Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and Waiver and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment and Waiver.
(m) Amendments. This Amendment and Waiver may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified as set forth in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.
