SECTION 2.01.          Representations and Warranties. (a) To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Lenders, including the Additional Delayed Draw Term Lenders, and the Administrative Agent that, as of the First Amendment Effective Date and after giving effect to the transactions and amendments to occur on the First Amendment Effective Date, this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of Holdings and the Borrower and constitutes, and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby on the First Amendment Effective Date, will constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against each of the Loan Parties 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)           The representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents are, after giving effect to this Amendment on such date, true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on the First Amendment Effective Date or on such earlier date, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.02.          Effect of 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 Lenders or the Agents 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.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the amendment of the Credit Agreement pursuant to this Amendment and all other Loan Documents amended and/or executed and delivered in connection herewith shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the First Amendment Effective Date. Nothing herein shall be deemed to establish a precedent for purposes of interpreting the provisions of the Credit Agreement or entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a 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.  This Amendment shall apply to and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents specifically referred to herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement.

 

(b)           On and after the First Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Amended Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like import, and each reference to the Credit Agreement, “thereunder”, “thereof”, “therein” or words of like import in any other Loan Document, shall be deemed a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement.  This Amendment shall constitute an “Incremental Facility Amendment” entered into pursuant to Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement and a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           This Amendment shall constitute notice to the Administrative Agent required under Section 2.20(a) of the Credit Agreement and each Lender party hereto hereby waives any prior notice requirement under the Credit Agreement, including Section 2.20(a).

 

SECTION 2.03.          Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. The provisions of Sections 9.09 and 9.10 of the Amended Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment to the same extent as if fully set forth herein.

 

SECTION 2.04.          Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the First Amendment Arrangers for their reasonable out of pocket expenses in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the First Amendment Arrangers.

 

SECTION 2.05.          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 and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Requirements of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
