In accordance with Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Credit Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Guarantor hereby agrees to all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Guarantor does hereby guarantee to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, the prompt payment of the Loan Obligations in full when due as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the Credit Agreement and in this Supplement shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract.

The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
