3

SECTION 4. Effect of this Amendment. 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 Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan 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 Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Credit Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein. Each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance of doubt that, from and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the Applicable Margin for all purposes of the Credit Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and that, for any day prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the Applicable Margin shall be determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to this Amendment. After the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, any reference to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as modified hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or other customary means of electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Amendment.
SECTION 6. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Service of Process; Judgment Currency. THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 12.5 (GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION, ETC) AND SECTION 12.6 (WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY TO THIS AMENDMENT, mutatis mutandis.
