SECTION 4.Continuing Effect; No Novation; Reaffirmation.

(a)Except as expressly amended or modified hereby, the Loan Documents shall continue to be and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

Nothing implied in this Amendment, the

|US-DOCS\146475368.9||

Amended Credit Agreement, the Security Documents, the other Loan Documents or in any other document contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any of Borrower or any other Loan Party from any of its obligations and liabilities as a “Borrower”, “Guarantor” or “Loan Party” under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, until (as applicable) and except to any extent modified hereby or in connection herewith.

(iv)agrees that each of the representations and warranties made by it in the Security Documents is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except that (i) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent that such representations and warranties are already qualified or modified by materiality or words of similar effect in the text thereof, they shall be true and correct in all respects, and

(v)agrees that it shall take any action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to confirm or effect the intent of this Amendment.

SECTION 5.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; etc..

(a)THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE UNDER, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT (AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW.

|US-DOCS\146475368.9||

SECTION 7.Loan Document. This Amendment is a Loan Document and shall (unless otherwise expressly indicated herein) be construed, administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement.

SECTION 8.Counterparts. This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to this Amendment, any document to be signed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, electronic deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page),each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Amendment or any other Loan Documents (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Amendment based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

SECTION 9.Headings. Section headings used in this Amendment are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.
