(c) Each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this First Amendment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the First Amendment Incremental Commitment) shall become effective on the date hereof, but the amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth in Section 3 hereof shall not become operative until the funding of the 2016 Incremental Term Loans and the satisfaction (or waiver by the 2016 Incremental Term Loan Lender) of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof.

(d) The 2016 Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall constitute “Term Commitments”;

(e) The Existing Term Loans and the 2016 Incremental Term Loans shall collectively comprise a single Class of Initial Term Loans; and

(f) The 2016 Incremental Term Loans shall (i) constitute Obligations and Secured Obligations and have the benefits thereof, (ii) have terms, rights, remedies, privileges and protections identical to those applicable to the Existing Term Loans under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and (iii) be secured by the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Collateral Documents.

Each Guarantor party hereto hereby consents to the terms and conditions of the First Amendment, including the incurrence by the Borrower of the 2016 Incremental Term Loans contemplated thereby, and agrees that each reference to the Credit Agreement in the Loan Documents shall, on and after the First Amendment Effective Date, be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by the First Amendment.

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the modification of the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this First Amendment nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this First Amendment or the execution and delivery of this Guarantor Consent and Reaffirmation 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 Secured Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred.

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees (A) each Loan Document to which it is a party shall continue to be in full force and effect and (B) all guarantees, pledges, grants of Liens, covenants, agreements and other commitments by such Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall not be affected, impaired or discharged hereby or by the transactions contemplated in the First Amendment.

This Consent is a Loan Document and shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

This Consent may be executed in counterparts, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
