Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, consent of each Bank affected thereby shall be required with respect to (a) any increase in such Bank's Commitments hereunder (other than pursuant to Section 2.21 hereof), (b) the extension of the Expiry Date, the Term Loan Maturity Date, the payment date of interest or principal hereunder, or the payment of commitment or other fees or amounts payable hereunder, (c) any reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes, or in any amount of principal or interest due on any Note, or the payment of commitment or other fees hereunder or any change in the manner of pro rata application of any payments made by the Borrower to the Banks hereunder, (d) any change in any percentage voting requirement, voting rights or the definition of Majority Banks in this Agreement, (e) any release of any Guarantor representing

Notice of amendments or consents ratified by the Banks hereunder shall be immediately forwarded by the Agent to all Banks. Each Bank or other holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section, regardless of its failure to agree thereto. In the case of any such waiver or consent relating to any provision of this Agreement, any Event of Default or Potential Default so waived or consented to will be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver or consent will extend to any other or subsequent Event of Default or Potential Default or impair any right consequent to any other or subsequent Event of Default or Potential Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Impacted Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (i) the Commitment of such Impacted Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Impacted Bank, (ii) any reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes, or in any amount of principal or interest due on any Note, or the payment of commitment or other fees hereunder or any adverse change in the manner of pro rata application of any payments made by the Borrower to the Banks hereunder shall require the consent of such Impacted Bank and (iii) any amendment, modification, termination or waiver requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms affects any Impacted Bank more adversely than other Banks shall require the consent of such Impacted Bank.

13.This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page counterpart hereof by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic association of signatures and records on electronic platforms,  deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, 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, any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code, each as amended, and the parties hereto hereby waive any objection to the contrary, provided that (x) nothing herein shall require Agent to accept electronic signature counterparts in any form or format and (y) Agent reserves the right to require, at any time and at its sole discretion, the delivery of manually executed counterpart signature pages to this Amendment or any document signed in connection with this Amendment and the parties hereto agree to promptly deliver such manually executed counterpart signature pages.

14.This Amendment shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to any conflict of law principles thereof.
