NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. The Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
(a) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary and (assuming due execution by the parties hereto other than the Company and the Borrowing Subsidiaries) constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(b) Before and after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (in all respects in the case of representations and warranties qualified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date with the same effect as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they were so true and correct as of such earlier date.



(c) As of the First Amendment Effective Date, before and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 4. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the first date (the “First Amendment Effective Date”) on which the Administrative Agent shall have signed a counterpart of this Amendment and shall have received from the Company, each Borrowing Subsidiary and Lenders constituting at least the Required Lenders a counterpart of this Amendment executed by such Person (which, subject to Section 9.06(b) of the Credit Agreement, may include any Electronic Signatures transmitted by fax, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page of this Amendment). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks of the First Amendment Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding.
SECTION 5. Effect of this Amendment. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to any other consent to, or any other waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.
(b) On and after the First Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar import shall, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, and each reference to the Credit Agreement in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 6. Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single instrument.
SECTION 8. Incorporation by Reference. The provisions of Sections 9.06(b), 9.07, 9.09(b), 9.09(c), 9.09(d), 9.10 and 9.11 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in full herein, mutatis mutandis.
