and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the execution of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders, constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents or serve to effect a novation of the Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each party hereto hereby confirms that the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and under all the other Loan Documents (in each case, after giving effect to this Amendment) constitute “Obligations” and are entitled to all the benefits of the Guarantees set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, and each such Guaranty is, and continues to be, in full force and effect and is hereby reaffirmed in all respects.

SECTION 13. 2022 Incremental Lead Arrangers. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties, agrees that (a) the 2022 Incremental Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to the privileges, indemnification, immunities and other benefits afforded to the Lead Arrangers under the Amended Credit Agreement and (b) the 2022 Incremental Lead Arrangers shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 14. By its execution of this Amendment, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Amendment do not constitute a novation, but, rather, a supplement of a pre-existing indebtedness and related agreement, as evidenced by the Amended Credit Agreement. Each of the Lenders party hereto (including each of the 2022 Incremental Term Loan Lenders) authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute this Amendment. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
