SECTION 3.     Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

(b)     On the First Amendment Effective Date, and after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct (i) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (ii) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case as though made on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty is so true and correct on and as of such prior date.
(c)     On and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 4.     Effectiveness.

SECTION 6.     Effect of Amendment. %2.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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, 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 of the other Loan Documents, 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 the Borrower 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 of the other Loan Documents in similar or different circumstances.
(a)     On and after the First Amendment Effective Date, any reference to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
(b)     This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document.
SECTION 7.     Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 8.     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 Agreement 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 of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.     Headings. The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.
SECTION 10.     Incorporation by Reference. The submission to jurisdiction, service of process, venue, judgment currency, waiver of immunity and waiver of jury trial provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis.
