13

in any way connected with this Amendment or any of the Loan Documents, any other credit facilities provided or not provided, any advances made or not made, or any past or present deposit or other accounts (including, without limitation, “dominion of funds” accounts and lockbox arrangements) of any Releasing Party with any Lender and the handling of the same by any Lender, including, without limitation, the manner and timing in which items were deposited or credited thereto or funds transferred therefrom or made available to any of the Releasing Parties, the honoring or returning of any checks drawn on any account, and any other dealings between the Releasing Parties and the Released Parties (the “Released Matters”); provided, however, that (A) Releasing Parties shall retain their rights to funds in deposit accounts held with any Lender, as applicable, funds in transit for deposit into any such account and any refunds to which such Releasing Party is entitled to, subject to in each case any applicable security interests of Administrative Agent or any Lender therein, and any right of offset or recoupment with respect thereto, and (B) Released Matters shall not include Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ obligations under the Loan Documents or any other contracts or agreements between Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, on one hand, and Releasing Parties from and after the effectiveness of this Amendment.

Releasing Parties each have consulted with legal counsel prior to signing this release, or had an opportunity to obtain such counsel and knowingly chose not to do so, and each Releasing Party executes such release voluntarily, with the intention of fully and finally extinguishing all Released Matters. In furtherance of this general release, Releasing Parties each acknowledge and waive the benefits of California Civil Code Section 1542 (and all similar ordinances and statutory, regulatory, or judicially created laws or rules of any other jurisdiction), which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

14

of this Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Amendment but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent and Lenders of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed document converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC § 7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

12.Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract made under, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California (without regards to principles of conflict of laws which would defer to the laws of another jurisdiction as governing).

13.Jury Trial Waiver; California Judicial Reference.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto waives its right to trial by jury in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating to this Amendment or the other Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral.  Without limiting the applicability of any other section of this Amendment, Section 11.16 and Section 11.17 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by this reference and shall apply to any action, proceeding, claim or controversy arising out of this Amendment.

14.Total Agreement.  This Amendment, the Credit Agreement, and all other Loan Documents embody the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior understandings regarding the same subject matter.

15.Loan Document.  This Amendment along with any document and certificate executed in connection herein, including but not limited to the security and pledge agreements and certificates referenced in Section 6 herein shall constitute a Loan Document under the Credit Agreement. Any provision of any Loan Document which applies to Loan Documents generally shall apply to this Amendment. It shall be an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement if any Loan Party breaches any covenant contained herein (subject to any applicable cure period set forth in the Credit Agreement) or if any representation or warranty contained herein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any material respect.
