	4.	 Reference to and Effect on Loan Documents; Reaffirmation of the Loan Parties. 



 

	 	(a)	 On and after the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference in the Existing Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to any of the Loan Documents, “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof’ or words of like import referring to any Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the applicable Loan Document, as specifically
amended by this Agreement. 


  

	 	(b)	 Each Loan Party hereby consents to the amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents
effected hereby and confirms and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement, each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party is, and the obligations of such Loan Party contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document to which it is a party are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, in each case as amended by this Agreement. For greater certainty and
without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby confirms and reaffirms, as of the date hereof, (i) that the existing security interests granted by such Loan Party in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties (including without limitation the Revolving Credit Lenders) pursuant to the Loan Documents in the Collateral described therein shall continue to secure the Obligations as and to the extent provided in the Loan Documents and (ii) its
Guaranty of the Obligations and the covenants and agreements contained in each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, including, in each case, such security interest, covenants and agreements as in effect immediately after giving to

validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any Loan Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred; or (ii) requires
that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens. 


  

	5.	 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except as
permitted by Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement. 


  

	6.	 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter
hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the amendment of the Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement and all other Loan Documents amended and/or executed and delivered in connection herewith shall not constitute a novation of the
Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.

	7.	 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK. 


  

	8.	 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (a) the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 


  

	9.	 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 


  

	10.	 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND

“Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being understood that for the avoidance of doubt this Agreement may be amended or waived solely by the parties hereto as set forth in
Section 5 above).
