(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Party and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law and to general principles of equity.

(c) No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Credit Party of this Agreement.

(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not (i) contravene the terms of its organizational documents, (ii) violate any Requirement of Law or (iii) violate any material agreement which is binding on it or its assets.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Credit Parties. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that after giving effect to this Agreement (a) the representations and warranties

set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof (except for those which expressly relate to an earlier date) and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

7. Counterparts/Telecopy. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and any other Credit Document may be executed and delivered by electronic means (including electronic image, facsimile, “.pdf”, “.tif” and “.jpeg”), and thereupon such agreement, certificate or instrument shall be treated in each case and in all manner and respects and for all purposes as an original agreement, certificate or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were an original manually-signed counterpart thereof delivered in person. No party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall assert the fact that electronic means were used to make or deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature, agreement, certificate or instrument was created, transmitted or communicated through the use of electronic means, as a defense to the formation, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any such agreement, certificate or instrument.

10. Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
