, other than Permitted Tax Receivable Agreement Prepayments

(b) After giving effect to this Amendment, the Loan Parties are in compliance with all of the terms and provisions set forth in the Loan Documents on their part to be observed or performed thereunder.
(c) Both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(d) Both before and after Borrower makes any Permitted Tax Receivable Agreement Prepayment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Whenever the terms or sections amended hereby shall be referred to in the Credit Agreement, Loan Documents or such other documents (whether directly or by incorporation into other defined terms), such terms or sections shall be deemed to refer to those terms or sections as amended by this Amendment.
(b) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all counterparts shall together constitute one instrument.
