WHEREAS, the undersigned desires to become a “Borrower” and a “Co-Borrower” under the Joinder Documents in order to induce the Secured Parties to continue to extend Loans under the Credit Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the undersigned agrees, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party, as follows:
SECTION 1. Party to Joinder Documents. In accordance with the terms of the Joinder Documents, by its signature below, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees to become a Borrower and Co-Borrower under the Joinder Documents with the same force and effect as if it were an original signatory thereto and the undersigned hereby (a) agrees to be bound by and comply with all of the terms and provisions of the Joinder Documents applicable to it as a Borrower and Co-Borrower and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Borrower and Co-Borrower thereunder are true and correct as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, each reference to a “Borrower” and “Co-Borrower” in the Joinder Documents shall be deemed to include the undersigned.

Waiver, Agreements, etc. The undersigned hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, marshalling of assets and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations, this Joinder and the Joinder Documents. Otherwise than as permitted in the Joinder Documents, the undersigned further waives any rights of set-off or counterclaim which it may have with respect to its obligations under the Joinder Documents.

SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent.

SECTION 5. Full Force of Joinder Documents. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Joinder Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 10.20 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated by reference into this Amendment mutatis mutandis as if set forth in full herein.
SECTION 6. Severability.

The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 7. Fees and Expenses, etc. Without limiting the provisions of any other Loan Document, the undersigned agrees to reimburse each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator under the Credit Agreement for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Joinder, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of each of the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Administrator’s counsel.
