-1-
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower Representative of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is within the Borrower Representatives corporate or other organizational power and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action (including by the Governing Board) and, if required, action of the Equity Interest owners, of the Borrower Representative. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower Representative and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower Representative, as the case may be, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(c) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower Representative of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (i) do not require any Governmental Approvals except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) will not violate any applicable law, including any order of any Governmental Authority, in any material respect, except to the extent any such violations, individually and in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) will not violate the Organizational Documents of a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries and (iv) will not violate or result (alone or with notice or lapse of time, or both) in a default under any indenture or other agreement or instrument binding upon a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment, repurchase or redemption to be made by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or give rise to a right of, or result in, any termination, cancellation, acceleration or right of renegotiation of any obligation thereunder, in each case except to the extent that the foregoing, individually and in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(d) The representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document qualified by materiality are true and correct, and those not so qualified are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Amendment, in each case, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct as of such earlier date); and
(e) No Default or Event of Default exists or would result immediately after giving effect to this Amendment.
4. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the first date (the Sixth Amendment Effective Date) when each of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied (or duly waived):

(b) The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 are true and correct; and

-2-
it is a party (after giving effect to this Amendment), (ii) to the extent such Loan Party guaranteed the Secured Obligations under or with respect to the Loan Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such guarantee and (iii) to the extent such Loan Party granted liens on or security interests in any of its property pursuant to the Security Documents as security for or otherwise guaranteed the Secured Obligations under or with respect to the Security Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such guarantee and prior grant of security interests and liens and confirms and agrees that such security interests and liens, shall continue, unimpaired in full force and effect after giving effect to this Amendment and hereafter secure all of the Secured Obligations. Each of the Loan Parties hereby consents to this Amendment and acknowledges that each of the Loan Documents, as amended, remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed. The execution of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or Lenders, constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents or serve to effect a novation of the Secured Obligations. This Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents.
6. No Other Modification. Nothing contained herein constitutes a waiver of compliance with any term or condition contained in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or constitute a course of conduct or dealing among the parties hereto. Except as expressly stated herein, the Administrative Agent and Lenders reserve all rights, privileges and remedies under the Loan Documents. Except as expressly provided herein, the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect. This Amendment is a Loan Document, and all references in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement are deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment.
7. Signatures; Counterparts; Integration. This Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile, portable document format (.pdf) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (including DocuSign), and in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same contract. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof (but do not supersede any provisions of any separate agreements that do not by the terms thereof terminate upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Amendment and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Amendment shall control; provided further that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict or inconsistency with this Amendment.
8. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
9. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The jurisdiction, consent to service of process and waiver of jury trial provisions set forth in Sections 9.09 and 9.10 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis.

10. Severability. Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11. Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall execute such documents and perform such further acts (including, without limitation, obtaining any consents, exemptions, authorizations, or other actions by, or giving any notices to, or making any filings with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person) as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out or to perform the provisions of this Amendment.
