(a) each Loan Party has the corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (and perform its respective obligations hereunder and thereunder). This Amendment and the Transaction Documents to which such Loan Party is a party have been duly authorized by such Loan Party. This Amendment, the Transaction Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, the Credit Agreement and the Notes (as amended by this Amendment) each constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law affecting creditor’s rights generally and general principles of equity;

(b) each Loan Party’s representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Notes and in the other Loan Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly related solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations were true, correct and complete in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date;

Each Loan Party acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Lenders are specifically relying upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Amendment and that such representations, warranties and agreements constitute a material inducement to Administrative Agent and Lenders in entering into this Amendment.

6. Release by Loan Parties. In further consideration of the execution of this Amendment by Administrative Agent and Lenders, each Loan Party (on behalf of itself and its shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, officers, affiliates, successors and assigns) hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably forever remises, releases, acquits, satisfies and forever discharges Administrative Agent and Lender and their respective successors, assigns, affiliates, parent entities, officers, employees, directors, shareholders, agents and attorneys (collectively, the “Releases”) from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, disputes, damages, suits, controversies, penalties, fees, costs, expenses, actions and causes of action (whether at law or in equity) and obligations of every nature whatsoever, whether liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent (all of the foregoing, “Claims”), that such Loan Party (or any of its respective shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, officers, affiliates, successors or assigns) occurring on or before the date hereof, from any or all of the Releases, which arise from or relate to any actions, omissions, conditions, events, or any other circumstances whatsoever on or prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, with respect to the Obligations, any Collateral, the Credit Agreement, the transactions relating thereto or hereto, and any other Loan Document, other than for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent as finally determined in a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

7. Reference to Credit Agreement; No Waiver; Reservation of Rights.

(a) References. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, (i) each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and (ii) each reference in each of the Notes to “this Note,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the respective Note, as amended hereby. The term “Loan Documents” as defined in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall include (in addition to the Loan Documents described in the Credit Agreement) this Amendment and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) No Waiver. The failure of Administrative Agent (or, as applicable, Lenders), at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Loan Parties of any provision or term of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment or the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Administrative Agent (or, as applicable, Lenders) hereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver by Administrative Agent or Lenders of a breach of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall not, except as expressly set forth herein or in any other writing signed by Administrative Agent, suspend, waive or affect any other breach of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Loan Parties contained in this Amendment, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Administrative Agent or Lenders unless such suspension or waiver is (i) in writing and signed by Administrative Agent and (ii) delivered to the Loan Parties. In no event shall Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ execution and delivery of this Amendment establish a course of dealing among Administrative Agent, Lenders, Loan Parties or any other obligor, or in any other way obligate Administrative Agent or Lenders to hereafter provide any amendments or waivers with respect to the Credit Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Amendment shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed (x) to be a consent to any amendment or modification of any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or of any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Fourth Amendment (except as expressly provided herein); or (y) to prejudice any right or remedy which Administrative Agent or any Lender may now have under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the Loan Documents, or any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the execution and delivery of this Amendment does not effectuate a novation of the liabilities and obligations of the Loan Parties to Administrative Agent or Lenders with respect to the Loans, but merely serves as a modification of certain terms thereof.

(c) Reservation of Rights. Nothing in this Amendment shall amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or shall be construed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify, the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Fourth Amendment, except as expressly set forth in Section 1 above. Administrative Agent and the Lenders specifically reserve all of their rights, powers and remedies available under and pursuant to the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, at law and in equity. Additional events may have occurred that would constitute further Events of Default or defaults. Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby reserve the right to declare any such events as defaults or Events of Default, as applicable, at any time in the future. Any failure to specify such events in this Amendment shall in no way constitute a waiver of any default or Event of Default resulting from such events. 

(d) Full Force and Effect. The Credit Agreement, the Notes and all of the other Loan Documents, in each case as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(e) Reaffirmation of Security Interest. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms any and all grants of Liens to Administrative Agent in, to and on the Collateral as security for the Obligations, and the Company acknowledges and confirms that the grants of the Liens to Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and Lenders in, to and on the Collateral: (i) represent continuing Liens on all of the Collateral, (ii) secure the indefeasible payment in full in cash all of the Obligations when due or declared due in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) represent valid and first priority perfected Liens on all of the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens).

8. Miscellaneous. Titles and headings herein are solely for the convenience of the parties and are without substantive legal meaning. This Amendment may only be amended or modified by a writing signed by Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and the Loan Parties. Neither this Amendment nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Administrative Agent or Lenders, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.

9. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, the Loan Parties may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Amendment without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such a manner so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Amendment.

11. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, admissible into evidence.

12. Facsimile. A signature hereto sent or delivered by facsimile or other electronic means shall be as legally binding and enforceable as a signed original for all purposes.

13. Governing Law. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

14. Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF NEW YORK COUNTY, THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; OR, IF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT INITIATES SUCH ACTION, IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING COURTS, ANY COURT IN WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL INITIATE OR TO WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL REMOVE SUCH ACTION, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT OTHERWISE HAS JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS IN ADVANCE TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN OR REMOVED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ANY OF SUCH COURTS, HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH LOAN PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 15.3 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. EACH LOAN PARTY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY COURT HAVING SITUS IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR AN IMPROPER FORUM BASED ON LACK OF VENUE. SHOULD ANY LOAN PARTY, AFTER BEING SO SERVED, FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THE PERIOD OF TIME PRESCRIBED BY LAW AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, SUCH LOAN PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AGAINST SUCH LOAN PARTY AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS. THE EXCLUSIVE CHOICE OF FORUM FOR THE LOAN PARTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT, BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ANY OTHER FORUM OR THE TAKING, BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OF ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THE SAME IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION, AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO COLLATERALLY ATTACK ANY SUCH JUDGMENT OR ACTION.

15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
