Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in Article IV of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment, and in each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any
representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Change” shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such date (except in the case of representations and warranties that are made solely
as of an earlier date or time, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date or time). 
 11.
Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Severability. If any provision of this Amendment is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be inapplicable to the extent of such invalidity without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Amendment and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision so held to
be invalid or unenforceable.

  
 11 







 (b) Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders for all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket disbursements incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Amendment, including without
limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to the same extent that the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Credit Agreement. 

(c) Reference to Credit Agreement. From and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, all references to the Credit Agreement shall
mean the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and as hereafter modified, amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and
as hereafter modified, amended, restated or supplemented from time to time. 
 (d) Entire Agreement. This Amendment shall be deemed
to be a Loan Document and, together with the other Loan Documents and the agreements, documents and instruments contemplated hereby, constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and any
other prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, with respect hereto or thereto are expressly superseded hereby and thereby. 

(e) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each
of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Amendment. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or .pdf shall
be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or .pdf also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Amendment
but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment. 

(f) Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs,
beneficiaries, successors and assigns. 
 (g) Governing Law; Venue; Jury Trial. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.12 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AND SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE JURY TRIAL WAIVER SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.14 OF THE
CREDIT AGREEMENT. 
 (h) Guarantors. Each Guarantor, for value received, hereby expressly consents and agrees to the Borrower’s
execution and delivery of this Amendment, to the 

  
 12 







 
performance by the Borrower of its agreements and obligations hereunder and to the consents, amendments and waivers set forth herein. This Amendment, the performance or consummation of any
transaction or matter contemplated under this Amendment and all consents, amendments and waivers set forth herein, shall not limit, restrict, extinguish or otherwise impair any Guarantor’s liability to the Administrative Agent and Lenders with
respect to the payment and other performance obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantees. Each Guarantor hereby ratifies, confirms and approves its Guarantee and acknowledges that it is unconditionally liable to the Administrative Agent
and Lenders for the full and timely payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (on a joint and several basis with the other Guarantors). Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has no defenses, counterclaims or set-offs with respect to the full and
timely payment of any or all Guaranteed Obligations.
