(iv)             
This Amendment and each Loan Document, as amended by this Amendment, to which the Borrower is a party constitutes
a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to
the effects of bankruptcy, examination, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating
to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(b)               
Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties (except for those made in subsections
6.13 and 6.14 of the Credit Agreement) made by the Borrower in or pursuant to the Loan Documents are true and correct
in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to the effectiveness of this Amendment,
as if made on and as of the Amendment Effective Date.

SECTION 5.         
Payment of Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Amendment, any other documents prepared in connection
herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements
of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 6.         
No Other Amendments; Confirmation. Except as expressly amended, modified and supplemented hereby, the provisions
of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 7.         
Governing Law; Counterparts.

(a)               
This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The provisions of subsections 13.12 and 13.17 of the Credit
Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis.

(b)               
This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Amendment on any number of separate counterparts
(including by facsimile transmission or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format), and all of said counterparts
taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 8.         
Miscellaneous.

(a)               
Upon and after the Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”,
“hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to 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 as modified hereby.  This
Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.

(b)               
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, except as expressly
provided herein, constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. It is the intent of the parties
hereto, and the 

    	 	 	 

     

    
7

parties hereto agree, that this Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any of the rights, obligations or liabilities thereunder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

    	 	 	 

     

    

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto
