Documents, (iii) notwithstanding the effectiveness of the terms hereof, the Guarantee, the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents, are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and (b) each 2020 Incremental Lender shall be a “Secured Party” and a “Lender” (including without limitation for purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement) for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Loan Party ratifies and confirms that all Liens granted, conveyed, or assigned to the Collateral Agent by such Person pursuant to any Loan Document to which it is a party remain in full force and effect, are not released or reduced, and continue to secure full payment and performance of the Obligations as increased hereby.
SECTION 9. Credit Agreement Governs. 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 any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent 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 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.
SECTION 10. Counterparts. This Amendment and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Amendment (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the parties hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on each such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as applicable, to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include use or acceptance by any party hereto of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) each party hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any other party hereto without further verification and (b) upon the reasonable request of any party hereto, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. 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.
SECTION 11. Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall constitute an “Incremental Amendment” and a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Amendment are deemed incorporated into the Credit Agreement as if fully set forth therein. The headings of this Amendment are for the purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Section 11.14 of the Credit Agreement is incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.
