17
in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and (to the extent applicable) in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this First Amendment, the Acknowledgement and Consent delivered by each Guarantor concurrently herewith and any other Loan Documents entered into in connection therewith (the “Tranche B Term Loan Facility Documents”) to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to obtain the extensions of the Tranche B Term Loans under the Amended Agreement, and each such Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Tranche B Term Loan Facility Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to authorize the extensions of the Tranche B Term Loans under the Amended Agreement to it, if any, on the terms and conditions of the Amended Agreement, this First Amendment and any Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Tranche B Term Loan Facility Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of each Borrower, with the extensions of the Tranche B Term Loans to it, if any, under the Amended Agreement, except for consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This First Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower, and each other Tranche B Term Loan Facility Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This First Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower, and each other Tranche B Term Loan Facility Documents to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, in each case, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, in each case except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
(c) The execution, delivery and performance of the Tranche B Term Loan Facility Documents by any of the Loan Parties, the initial extension of the Tranche B Term Loans under the Amended Agreement and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, except (other than with respect to the Borrowers) as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party pursuant to the Amended Agreement or any other Loan Document (or in any amendment,
18
modification or supplement hereto or thereto) to which it is a party, are, except to the extent that they relate to a particular date, true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date as if made on and as of such date.
(e) No Event of Default exists as of the First Amendment Effective Date.

SECTION 5. Effects on Loan Documents; Acknowledgement.
(a) Except as expressly set forth herein, (i) this First Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby ratified and re-affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect and nothing herein can or may be construed as a novation thereof. Each Loan Party reaffirms its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party and the validity, enforceability and perfection of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Security Documents. This First Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for purposes of the Amended Agreement and from and after the First Amendment Effective Date, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this First Amendment. Each of the Loan Parties hereby consents to this First Amendment and confirms that all obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party shall continue to apply to the Amended Agreement.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Security Documents, in each case as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, hereby (i) acknowledges and agrees that the Tranche B Term Loans are Loans and the Tranche B Term Lenders are Lenders, (ii) acknowledges and agrees that all of its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Security Documents to which it is a party are reaffirmed and remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, (iii) reaffirms each Lien granted by each Loan Party to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including the Tranche B Term Lenders) and reaffirms the guaranties made pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and (iv) agrees that the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) include, among
19
other things and without limitation, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each Borrower when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of principal and interest on the Tranche B Term Loans.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, no Loan Party to the German Share Pledge Agreements and the German Intercompany Loan Pledge Agreements makes any representations to the effect that the German Share Pledge Agreements and the German Intercompany Loan Pledge Agreements secure the Tranche B Term Loans or any other amounts owed by any Loan Party in connection with this First Amendment.
SECTION 6. Lender Consents and Authorization.
