E.Any provision in this Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

F.The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to (i) any document to be signed by any Lender, Titled Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender (collectively, the “Lender Parties”), in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form; and (ii) any document to be signed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature of such Lender Party, the Borrower or other Loan Party, or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system with respect to such Lender Party, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for 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 that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures from any Lender Party, the Borrower or other Loan Party in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided further that, upon the request of the


Administrative Agent, any such electronic signature shall be followed by a manually executed version thereof. Each of the undersigned hereby

(i) agrees that, for all purposes, electronic images of this Amendment (including with respect to any of the Lender Parties’ signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity, admissibility into evidence and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity, admissibility into evidence or enforceability of this Agreement based solely on the lack of paper original copies hereof, including with respect to any of the Lender Parties’ signatures hereto.
