(b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower. This Amendment (i) is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and (ii) is in full force and effect subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

(c) The execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Borrower (i) does 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 and except, to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents, for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (ii) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and (iv) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, except, in each case other than with respect to the creation of Liens, to the extent that any such violation, default or right, or any failure to obtain such consent or approval or to take such action, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Immediately before and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article III of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date, and that any representation or warranty which is subject to any materiality qualifier or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be required to be true and correct in all respects), and (B) no Default exists.
SECTION 5. Effect on the Credit Agreement. (a) Except as specifically amended above, the Credit Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
(b) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this Amendment, any other documents prepared in connection herewith and the transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 7. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AS SET FORTH FURTHER IN SECTION 9.09 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AS IF SUCH SECTION WERE SET FORTH IN FULL HEREIN.
SECTION 8. 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 contract. This Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or email shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. THIS AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
