NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed among the Borrowers, the Agent, and the Lenders as follows:
1. | Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning herein as in the Credit Agreement. |
2. | Exhibits to Existing Credit Agreement. Exhibit A-1 (Domestic Committed Loan Notice) is hereby deleted in its entirety and a new Exhibit A-1 attached to Exhibit A hereto is substituted in its stead. |
3. | Ratification of Loan Documents. Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. The Borrowers hereby ratify, confirm, and reaffirm all representations, warranties, and covenants contained therein and acknowledge and agree that the Obligations are and continue to be secured by the Collateral, as modified hereby. Without in any manner limiting the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that the Loan Documents, and any and all Collateral previously pledged to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, pursuant thereto, shall continue to secure all Secured Obligations (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement, Restated General Security Agreement, or Loan Documents, as applicable) of the Loan Parties at any time and from time to time outstanding, as such Secured Obligations have been, and may hereafter be, amended, restated, supplemented, increased or otherwise modified from time to time. |
4. | Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders party hereto that (a) all representations and warranties of the Loan Parties party hereto contained in the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, except (i) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, (ii) in the case of any representation and warranty qualified by materiality, they shall be true and correct in all respects. |
5. | Conditions to Effectiveness. This Second Amendment shall not be effective until each of the following conditions precedent has been fulfilled to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent: |
| a. | the Administrative Agent’s receipt of this Second Amendment, which shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders party hereto and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; |
| b. | all action on the part of the Loan Parties necessary for the valid execution, delivery and performance by the Loan Parties of this Second Amendment and any other documents, instruments and agreements to be executed in connection herewith shall have been duly and effectively taken; |

DB1/ 115810905.1 | 2 |
|
| d. | after giving effect to this Second Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. |
6. | Miscellaneous |
| a. | This Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Second Amendment constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Second Amendment shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Second Amendment by telecopy, pdf or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Second Amendment. |
| b. | If any provision of this Second Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Second Amendment shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(c), if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Second Amendment relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. |
| c. | The Loan Parties represent and warrant that they have consulted with independent legal counsel of their selection in connection with this Second Amendment and are not relying on any representations or warranties of the Agents or the Lenders or their counsel in entering into this Second Amendment. |
| d. | THIS SECOND AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. |
