(a)  this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Holdings and the Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Holdings and the Borrower enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms and the Amended Credit Agreement and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Holdings and the Borrower enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

Section 4.  Counterparts.

This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  This Amendment and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Amendment (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on each of Holdings and the Borrower to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Holdings and the Borrower enforceable against such in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered.   Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication.  For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent and each of the Revolving Lenders of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Revolving Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document.  All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Revolving Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any of Holdings and the Borrower without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.  For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

Section 5.  Governing Law and Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  The jurisdiction and waiver of right to trial by jury provisions in Section 10.12 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis.

Section 6.  Headings.

The headings of this Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 7.  Reaffirmation.

Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby expressly acknowledge, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each Guarantor, the terms of this Amendment and the other Transactions and reaffirms, as of the date hereof, (i) the covenants and agreements contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party, including, in each case, such covenants and agreements as in effect immediately after giving effect to the Transactions, (ii) its guarantee of the Obligations under the Guaranty, as applicable, and its grant of Liens on the Collateral to secure the Obligations pursuant to the Collateral Documents and (iii) that such guarantee and grant continues in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, the Obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.  Effect of Amendment.

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 Loan Document, and this Amendment 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 Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.  This Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.  For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date, this Amendment shall for all purposes constitute a Loan Document.
