This First Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart by telecopy or other secure electronic format (.pdf) shall be as effective as an original.  This First Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois and shall become effective upon the Administrative Agent's receipt of counterparts hereof duly executed by the Required Lenders and each of the Loan Parties.
