4. Representations and Warranties. On and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to
the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

 (b) This Amendment shall not extinguish the
obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or discharge or release the Lien or priority of any Security Document or any other security therefor. Nothing herein contained shall be

outstanding under or of the Existing Credit Agreement and instruments securing the same shall remain in full force and effect, except to any extent expressly modified hereby. Nothing implied in this Amendment or in any other document contemplated
hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities as a borrower, guarantor, grantor or pledgor under any of the Loan Documents.

6. Reaffirmation.

Documents and agrees such Loan Documents remain in full force and effect, (iv) agrees that each Security Document secures all Obligations of the Loan Parties in accordance with the terms thereof and (v) confirms this Amendment does not

effect, are not released or reduced, and continue to secure full payment and performance of the Obligations. 
 (b) Each Loan Party hereby
reaffirms, as of the First Amendment Effective Date, (i) the covenants and agreements contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party, including, in each case, such covenants and agreements as in effect immediately after giving effect to
this Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) its guarantee of payment of the Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement and its grant of Liens on the Collateral to secure the Obligations. 

7. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; MISCELLANEOUS. (a) THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (b)
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 10.12 AND 10.16 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AS IF SUCH SECTIONS WERE SET FORTH IN FULL HEREIN MUTATIS MUTANDIS. 

(c) This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
hereof. A set of the copies of this Amendment signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d)

or the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan 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. Severability. Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
