 SECTION 3.    Representations and Warranties The

Documents that have been entered into by the Company or any of the Designated Borrowers are true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly
stated to have been made as of a specific date, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date) and as if each reference in said Article IV to “this Agreement” included
reference to this Amendment and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 SECTION
4.    Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents. (a) On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”,

 (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 Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. 

(d)    This Amendment constitutes a Loan Document. 

SECTION 5.    Costs and Expenses The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for the Agent) in accordance with the terms of Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION
6.    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 shall be deemed to be an original and
all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier or other electronic communication shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in this Amendment shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided 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, further, that, without
limiting the foregoing, upon the request of any party hereto, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. 

SECTION 7.    Applicable Law, Jury Waiver and Jurisdiction. The provisions set forth in Sections 8.11 (Governing
Law; Waiver of Jury Trial) and 8.13 (Submission to Jurisdiction; Etc.) of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment and are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis, with the same force and effect as if fully set
forth in this Amendment (and as if each reference to “this Agreement” were a reference to this Amendment).
