Each Guarantor has the requisite corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Reaffirmation, and to perform its obligations under the Reaffirmation and the other Financing Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of this Amendment and by each Guarantor of the Reaffirmation have been duly approved by the board of directors or other governing body, as applicable, of each such Person, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor are necessary to consummate such transactions.  This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower and the Reaffirmation has been duly executed and delivered by each Guarantor.  Each of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement as amended hereby constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.  Each of the Guarantee by the Guarantors and the Reaffirmation constitutes the legal, valid and bind obligation of each Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.
(b)         Financing Document Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in each Financing Document are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof, before and after giving effect to this Amendment, as though made on and as of such date (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date).
(c)         Absence of Default. Except as expressly waived hereby, no event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the effectiveness of this Amendment, that constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.
SECTION 4.       Reference to and Effect on the Financing Documents. (a)  Upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof’ or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Financing Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified and amended hereby.
(b)         The Credit Agreement and all other Financing Documents are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
​

(c)         The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Financing Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Financing Documents.
(d)         This Amendment is a Financing Document under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 5.       Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Amendment and/or any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries 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.
SECTION 6.       Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
SECTION 7.       Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.
SECTION 8.       Captions and Headings. The captions or section headings at various places in this Amendment are intended for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this Amendment.
