a.Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by moving the word “and” at the end of Section 6.01(j) to the end of Section 6.01(k), replacing the period at the end of Section 6.01(k) with a semicolon, and adding a new Section 6.01(l) to read as set forth below:

(c) Investments of any Loan Party in any Subsidiary or in another Loan Party and Investments of any Subsidiary in any Loan Party or in another Subsidiary;
2.Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants, as of the date of this Amendment, that:
a.The representations and warranties in each Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect in the text thereof;
b.The execution and delivery of this Amendment has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action of such Loan Party; this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity;
c.The transactions contemplated by this Amendment (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any Law applicable to such Loan Party, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any other material Contractual Obligation binding upon such Loan Party or affecting its assets, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of such Loan Party; and
d.No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result after giving effect to this Amendment.
3.Ratification and Confirmation of Loan Documents.
a.Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall not alter, modify, amend, or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants, guarantees or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power, or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
b.Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has read this Amendment and consents to the terms hereof, and hereby confirms and agrees that notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment, the obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which it is a party shall not be impaired or affected and such Loan Documents and all promissory notes and all other instruments, documents and agreements entered into by such Loan Party in connection with such Loan Documents are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects.
c.Each Loan Party further agrees that nothing in the Credit Agreement, this Amendment or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to require the consent of such Loan Party to any future amendment to the Credit Agreement, except to the extent that the consent of such Loan Party to such amendment is expressly required under the Credit Agreement.
d.Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each Lender shall continue to be a party to the Credit Agreement as a Lender.

4.Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date first written above only upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on or prior to such date unless otherwise waived in writing by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent:
a.The Administrative Agent shall have acknowledged receipt of a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of each Loan Party and the Required Lenders.
b.Each Loan Party shall have paid all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including the legal fees and expenses of Ashurst LLP) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Amendment.
5.Miscellaneous.
a.The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the representations and warranties set forth herein are material inducements to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to deliver this Amendment.
b.This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto, and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
c.This Amendment is a Loan Document. Henceforth, this Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together as one document and the Credit Agreement shall be modified accordingly. No course of dealing on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. The failure at any time to require strict performance by the Loan Parties of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not affect any right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to and in accordance with the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. No other person or entity, other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall be entitled to claim any right or benefit hereunder, including, without limitation, the status of a third party beneficiary hereunder.
d.This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to conflicts of law rules. The provisions of Section 10.09 and Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement apply to this Amendment mutatis mutandis as if they were incorporated herein.
e.If any provision of this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed therefrom, and the remaining parts shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been a part thereof.
f.This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by electronic or facsimile transmission, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
