Section 11.          Effect of Amendment.

(a)          Each reference that is made in the Credit Agreement or any Credit Document to the “Credit Agreement” shall hereafter be construed as a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby,  Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agents under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.

(b)          By executing and delivering a copy hereof, each Credit Party hereby consents to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby and each U.S. Credit Party hereby confirms its respective guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, and other obligations, as applicable, under and subject to the terms of each of the Credit Documents to which it is party, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment, such guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, and other obligations, and the terms of each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, shall continue to be in full force and effect, including to secure the Obligations (including, without limitation, the Tranche B-1 Dollar Term Loans and the Tranche B-1 Euro Term Loans).  For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, this Amendment shall for all purposes constitute a Credit Document.

(c)          Each Additional Tranche B-1 Dollar Term Loan Lender party hereto and each Additional Tranche B-1 Euro Term Loan Lender party hereto (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment and the other Credit Documents, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
