3.Amendments to other Loan Documents.

(b)Any and all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents are hereby amended and modified wherever necessary, even though not specifically addressed herein, so as to conform to the amendments and modifications set forth herein.

(b)after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default exists; and

5.Ratifications.

6.Representations. Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Credit Parties that as of the Effective Date: (a) this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by each Loan Party; (b) no action of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with, the execution, delivery, and performance by any Loan Party of this Amendment, except for actions or filings which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect; (c) the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, are valid and binding upon each Loan Party and are enforceable against each Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity; (d) the execution, delivery, and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment do not (i) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under (A) any material Contractual Obligation to which such Loan Party is a party or affecting such Loan Party or the properties of such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) any material order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Loan Party or its property is subject; or (ii) violate in any material respect any applicable Law; (e) all representations and warranties in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifiers therein), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifiers therein) as of such earlier date, and except that the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 7.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01; and (f) no Default exists.
7.Continued Effect. Except to the extent amended hereby, all terms, provisions and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all documents executed in connection therewith, shall continue in full force and effect and shall remain enforceable and binding in accordance with their respective terms.
8.Miscellaneous. Unless stated otherwise (a) the singular number includes the plural and vice versa and words of any gender include each other gender, in each case, as appropriate, (b) headings and captions may not be construed in interpreting provisions, (c) this Amendment must be construed -- and its performance enforced -- under New York law, and (d) if any part of this Amendment is for any reason found to be unenforceable, all other portions of it nevertheless remain enforceable.
9.Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts.
(a)This Amendment, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties and each of Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties agree that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person 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 such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. 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 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. Administrative Agent and each of the Credit Parties may, at its option, create one or more Electronic Copies, 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, neither Administrative Agent nor any L/C Issuer is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent Administrative Agent and/or an L/C Issuer has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, Administrative Agent and each of the Credit Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Credit Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed 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.
(b)The Credit Parties shall neither be responsible for nor have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with Administrative Agent’s or the applicable L/C Issuer’s reliance on any Electronic Signature
transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Credit Parties shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Guaranty for being the maker thereof).
(c)Each Loan Party and each Credit Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Amendment, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Amendment, such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against Administrative Agent, each Credit Party and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from Administrative Agent’s and/or any Credit Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of
the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
10.Parties. This Amendment binds and inures to the Loan Parties and the Credit Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
11.Entireties. The Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment represents the final agreement between the parties about the subject matter of the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
