(b)the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of the Amended Credit Agreement and in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; and

(c)this Agreement, and the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such party, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to (a) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or

other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (c) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any signature to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signature and Records Act or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, extension or renewal of this Agreement.

Each of the parties represents and warrants to the other parties that it has the corporate capacity and authority to execute this Agreement through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in that party’s constitutive documents.

Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any instrument securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing implied in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any of the Obligors under any Credit Document from any of its obligations and liabilities as an Obligor under any of the Credit Documents.
