Each Credit Party hereby expressly (a) acknowledges the terms of this Amendment, (b) ratifies and reaffirms all of their respective Obligations and each of their other obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, as modified hereby, (c) acknowledges, renews and extends its continued liability under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, as modified hereby, (d) ratifies and reaffirms all Liens granted by it pursuant to the Loan Documents to secure the Obligations and (e) reaffirms that its guarantee under each Guaranty Agreement, if applicable, and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party remains in full force and effect with respect to the Obligations. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for purposes of the Credit Agreement and from and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, all references to the “Credit Agreement” in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Amendment”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Amendment. Each Credit Party hereby consents to this Amendment and confirms that all obligations of each Credit Party under the Loan Documents to which such Credit Party is a party shall continue to apply to the Credit Agreement.
J.No Action, Claims, Etc. As of the date hereof, each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and confirms that it has no knowledge of any actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages and liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s respective officers, employees, representatives, agents, counsel or directors arising from any action by such Persons, or failure of such Persons to act under the Credit Agreement prior to the date hereof.
K.Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement. Receipt by telecopy, facsimile or email transmission of any executed signature page to this Amendment shall constitute effective delivery of such signature page.
L.Interpretation. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.
M.Headings. The headings of this Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
N.Entirety. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.
O.GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS REGARDING GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 12.5 and 12.6 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AND SUCH PROVISIONS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.
