(a)The execution and delivery of this First Amendment and the performance by Borrower of its obligations under this First Amendment are within Borrower’s power, have been duly authorized by all necessary company action, have received all necessary governmental approval (if any shall be required), and do not and will not contravene or conflict with any provision of law or of the Organizational Documents of Borrower or of any agreement binding upon Borrower.

(b)This First Amendment represents the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms subject as to enforcement only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

(c)After giving effect to this First Amendment, since the Closing Date, and, solely with respect to the last sentence of Section 7.10 of the Credit Agreement, since delivery of the financial forecast delivered by Xxxxxxxx to Lender on September 30, 2022, no change, event or state of affairs has occurred and is continuing which would constitute a Potential Default or a Default.

(d) No exhibit or schedule to the Credit Agreement is required to be supplemented, amended or modified in connection with the transactions contemplated by this First Amendment.

V.Defined Terms.  Terms used herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, shall have the same meanings herein, unless the context otherwise requires.

VI.Reaffirmation of Credit Agreement.  This First Amendment shall be deemed to be an amendment to the Credit Agreement, and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereby ratified, adopted and confirmed in each and every respect.

X.Multiple Counterparts and Electronic Signatures.  This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document.  All counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and the same instrument.  This First Amendment may be transmitted and signed by facsimile, portable document format (PDF), or other electronic means, and shall have the same effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on the Loan Parties and Xxxxxx, with originals signatures to be delivered to Lender at Xxxxxx’s request.
