All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart via facsimile, portable document format (“PDF”) or electronic mail shall constitute delivery of an original. The words “delivery,” “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment or any other document executed in connection herewith shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative Agent, 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, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable 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; provided, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in

any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of Administrative Agent, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. The parties hereto hereby consent to the use of electronic signatures and records in connection with this Amendment.

(b) This Amendment, together with the Existing 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. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each other Borrower party hereto, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer, each Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8. Governing Law.

The jurisdiction and waiver of right to trial by jury provisions in Section 12.5 of the Amended Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

Section 9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force as thought the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.

Section 10. Headings. Section headings are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
