Section 3. Terms of 2020 Incremental Commitment. The 2020 Incremental Lender hereby agrees to make its 2020 Incremental Commitment and 2020 Incremental Loans and participate in Letters of Credit on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Section 4. 2020 Incremental Lender Obligations. The 2020 Incremental Lender acknowledges and agrees that, upon its execution of this Agreement, such 2020 Incremental Lender shall become a Lender under, and entitled to the benefits of, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to its 2020 Incremental Commitment and 2020 Incremental Loans, and shall be subject to and bound by the terms thereof.

This Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.
Section 6. Borrower’s Certifications. By its execution of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby certifies, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, as of the 2020 Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date, that:
(a) immediately prior to and after giving effect to this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such 2020 Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date; provided that such representations and warranties (i) that relate solely to an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (ii) shall be true and correct in all respects if they are qualified by a materiality standard;
(b) immediately prior to and after giving effect to this Agreement, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Neither the modification of the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Agreement nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Agreement (i) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any Loan Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations (including, without limitation, the 2020 Incremental Loans and the 2020 Incremental Commitments), whether heretofore or hereafter incurred; or (ii) requires that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens.

Section 10. Consent to Waiver.

Section 12. Governing Law, Entire Agreement, Etc. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL EACH BE GOVERNED BY, AND EACH BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT THERETO.
        


Section 13. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.
Section 14. Counterparts. This Agreement 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement, if any, shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf,” “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.
