For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under FATCA from and after the date hereof, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat, the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) as not constituting a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
SECTION 8Miscellaneous.
(a)No Reliance. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and confirms to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Borrower is executing this Amendment on the basis of its own investigation and for its own reasons without reliance upon any agreement, representation, understanding or communication by or on behalf of any other Person.
(b)Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment.
(c)Binding Effect. This Amendment shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

(e)Complete Agreement; Amendments. This Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties hereto and thereto with reference to the matters discussed herein and therein. This Amendment supersedes all prior commitments, drafts, communications, discussions and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. This Amendment may not be modified, amended or otherwise altered except in accordance with the terms of Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(f)Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(g)Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf’ or “tif’) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
(h)Loan Documents. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.
SECTION 9No Actions, Claims, Etc. As of the date hereof, each of the Borrower and the Guarantor acknowledges and confirms that it has no knowledge of any actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, against the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, or any Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, in any case, arising from any action or failure of such Persons to act under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document on or prior to the date of this Amendment, or of any offset right, counterclaim or defense of any kind against any of its respective obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor unconditionally releases, waives and forever discharges (i) any and all liabilities, obligations, duties, promises or indebtedness of any kind of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to such Borrower, except the obligations required to be performed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents on or after the date hereof, and (ii) all claims, offsets, causes of action, suits or defenses of any kind whatsoever (if any), whether arising at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, which the Borrower or Guarantor might otherwise have against the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Related Parties in connection with the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, in either case (i) or (ii), on account of any past or presently existing condition, act, omission, event, contract, liability, obligation, indebtedness, claim, cause of action, defense, circumstance or matter of any kind.
