Section 8. Effect of Amendment.

(a) This Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or any of the Credit Documents. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agents under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. By executing and delivering a copy hereof, each Credit Party hereby consents to Amendment No. 3 and the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby confirms its respective guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, as applicable, under and subject to the terms of each of the Credit Documents to which it is party, and agrees that, after giving effect to this Amendment, such guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, and the terms of each of the Security Documents to which it is a party, shall continue to be in full force and effect, including to secure the Obligations (including, without limitation, the Tranche B-2 Term Loans). For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, this Amendment shall for all purposes constitute a Credit Document.

(b) Each Additional Tranche B-2 Term Loan Lender party hereto (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment No. 3 and the other Credit Documents, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment No. 3; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Agent or any other Additional Tranche B-2 Term Loan Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with

their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. Upon the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the undersigned Additional Tranche B-2 Term Loan Lender shall become a Lender under the Credit Agreement and shall have the respective Additional Tranche B-2 Term Loan Commitment set forth next to its name on the Amendment No. 3 Allocation Schedule. In addition, if an Existing Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lender has exercised its “Cashless Settlement Option” or the “Post-Closing Settlement Option” pursuant to their Consent to Amendment No. 3, the amount of such Existing Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lender’s participation in the Tranche B-2 Term Loans may be less than 100% of the principal amount of such Existing Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lender’s Existing Tranche B-1 Term Loans, based on the Amendment No. 3 Arrangers’ allocation of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans.

Section 9. Tax Matters. The parties hereto shall treat all the Tranche B-2 Term Loans (including the Additional Tranche B-2 Term Loans) as one fungible tranche for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
