Section 2.03 Estimated Net Working Capital. At least two business days prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall and shall cause the Company to deliver to Buyer an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and a calculation by the Company of the estimated Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (“Estimated Net Working Capital”) based upon the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, together with a certificate signed by each Seller and the chief executive officer of the Company, certifying that each of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Estimated Net Working Capital were prepared in accordance with GAAP in good faith from the books and records of the Company. Prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall cause the Company to provide Buyer and its representatives copies of all records and work papers used in preparing the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the computation of the Estimated Net Working Capital and reasonable access to the employees and advisors of the Company who prepared such information and calculations.

Section 2.04 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Calculation of Net Working Capital. Within 10 days after the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K (or an amendment thereto) that includes the Company’s audited financial statements as of the Closing Date in accordance with Section 6.01, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a statement in the form attached as EXHIBIT A (the “Closing Statement”), setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date based upon such audited financial statements, along with copies of any working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Closing Statement prepared by or on behalf of Buyer.

(b) Examination of Closing Statement. The Sellers shall review the Closing Statement to confirm the accuracy of the Closing Statement and Buyer’s calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date set forth therein. If the Sellers fail to give Buyer written notice of any Disputed Amounts within 30 days after the Sellers received the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”), then the Closing Statement and the calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date shall become final and binding on all parties for all purposes.

(c) Disputes. If the Sellers give Buyer written notice of any calculations set forth in the Closing Statement that the Sellers dispute in good faith on or before the expiration of the Review Period (“Disputed Amounts”), then Buyer and the Sellers shall attempt in good faith to agree on any adjustments that should be made to the Closing Statement. If Buyer and the Sellers reach agreement with respect to all of the Disputed Amounts, the Closing Statement as modified to reflect such agreement shall become final and binding on all parties for all purposes. If Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve any Disputed Amounts within 60 days after the Sellers received the Closing Statement, Buyer and the Sellers will engage a mutually agreed upon independent public accounting firm that has no prior relationship with the Company or Buyer (the “Independent Accountant”) to resolve, exclusively, such unresolved Disputed Amounts. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination regarding such unresolved Disputed Amounts by calculating such amounts in a manner consistent with GAAP and the definitions of the components of Net Working Capital included in this Agreement. If unresolved Disputed Amounts are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, Buyer and the Sellers shall each furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the unresolved Disputed Amounts as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request and are available to the parties or their respective agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any materials relating to the unresolved Disputed Amounts and to discuss the unresolved Disputed Amounts with the Independent Accountant. The decision of the Independent Accountant with respect to the unresolved Disputed Amounts shall be provided in writing and, if possible, be made within 10 days after the engagement of the Independent Accountant and shall be final and binding on all parties for all purposes. The Closing Statement shall be revised, if necessary, to reflect the final determination of the components thereof. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant (i) will be borne by the Sellers, in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the unresolved Disputed Amounts that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all unresolved Disputed Amounts, and (ii) will be borne by Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the unresolved Disputed Amounts that are successfully disputed by the Sellers (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all unresolved Disputed Amounts.

(d) Post-Closing Adjustment. Within three business days after final determination of Net Working Capital in accordance with this Section 2.04, but not earlier than 120 days after the Closing Date, (i) Buyer shall pay to the Sellers by wire transfer an amount equal to the amount by which Net Working Capital set forth in the Closing Statement is more than the Net Working Capital Upper Limit, pro rata in accordance with the Ownership Percentages, and the Purchase Price shall be increased accordingly; and (ii) Sellers shall, jointly and severally, pay to Buyer by wire transfer an amount equal to the amount by which Net Working Capital set forth in the Closing Statement is less than the Net Working Capital Lower Limit, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced accordingly.

(c) Each Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.04 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer and the Company, for which monetary damages, while available, would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such Seller of any such obligations, Buyer and the Company shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond or need to prove inadequacy of money damages).

Section 8.06 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third-Party Claims.

(i) If an Indemnified Party receives written notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”). The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent that any rights or defenses are adversely affected. Such Third-Party Claim Notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third-Party Claim and any other documents reasonably necessary (as determined by the Indemnified Party) and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in or, by giving written notice within 10 business days of receipt of a Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel; provided, that such notice contains confirmation that the Indemnifying Party has agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party (subject to the limitation on indemnification set forth herein) for the Losses arising out of or resulting from the Third-Party Claim of which it is assuming the right to conduct and control the defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.06(a)(ii), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any claim if: (A) such Third-Party Claim is part of an Action to which the Indemnifying Party is also a party and the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that a conflict exists as a result of the Indemnifying Party’s control over such proceedings, (B) such Third-Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (C) such Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any governmental proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation in respect of the business of Buyer, the Company or their respective Affiliates, (D) the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to reasonably prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim, (E) such Third-Party Claim involves any customer, supplier, distributor or other material business relation of Buyer, the Company or their respective Affiliates, or (F) if a Seller is the Indemnifying Party and such Third-Party Claim involves an obligation in excess of such Seller’s indemnification obligation under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party has validly made such election, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available books and records and other information relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing employees and representatives as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(ii) Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.06(a), (A) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall be given if the settlement by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the obligation in connection with such Third-Party Claim, fully and finally releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third-Party Claim, and does not impose any obligation or restriction on such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third-Party Claims or fails to diligently prosecute or withdraws from the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, if the Indemnified Party admits any obligation with respect to, or settles, compromises or discharges, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), then such admission, settlement or compromise will not be binding upon or constitute evidence against the Indemnifying Party for purposes of determining whether the Indemnified Party has incurred Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to this Article VIII or the amount thereof.

(b) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from or involve a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by providing written notice thereof (a “Direct Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. Such Direct Claim Notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such Direct Claim Notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim accepting or denying its responsibility with respect to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation. If the Indemnifying Party (i) agrees in writing that such Direct Claim is within the scope of and subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII or (ii) does not so respond within such 30-day period (each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), an “Allowed Claim”), it shall be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that such claim is within the scope of and subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.05, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover promptly from the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnifying Person shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Person, the amount of such Allowed Claim (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.05). If within such 30-day period the Indemnifying Person agrees that it has an indemnification obligation for such Direct Claim under this Article VIII but objects to the amount set forth in the Direct Claim Notice, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Person, and the Indemnifying Person shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Person, the lesser amount, without prejudice to the Indemnified Person’s claim for the difference. If within such 30-day period the Indemnifying Person objects in writing to such claim or the amount thereof (each, a “Disputed Claim”), then the total amount of indemnification to which the Indemnified Person shall be entitled shall be determined by (A) the written agreement of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, or (B) a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Payment. Once the total amount is determined to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within five business days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such five-business day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 5%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Buyer, at its sole option, shall have the right to setoff the amounts due to Buyer arising from any such obligations against any amounts owed hereunder to Sellers, pro rata, including amounts owed to Sellers under the Adjustable Notes or the Convertible Notes.

Section 8.07 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 9.13, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (except as may arise from a claim of fraud, criminal activity, willful misconduct, and as set forth in Section 2.04, Section 6.04, and Section 9.13) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII (except as may arise from a claim for fraud, criminal activity, willful misconduct, and as set forth in Section 2.04, Section 6.04, and Section 9.13). Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 2.04, Section 6.04, or Section 9.13.

Section 8.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments made hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes except as otherwise required by Law.

(a) Each Loan Party has the limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (and perform its respective obligations hereunder and thereunder). This Amendment and the Transaction Documents to which such Loan Party is a party have been duly authorized by such Loan Party. This Amendment, the Transaction Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, and the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) each constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law affecting creditor’s rights generally and general principles of equity;

(b) Subject to the revised Schedules attached to this Agreement, each Loan Party’s representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly related solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations were true, correct and complete in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty is by its terms qualified by concepts of materiality, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date;

Each Loan Party acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Lenders are specifically relying upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Amendment and that such representations, warranties and agreements constitute a material inducement to Administrative Agent and Lenders in entering into this Amendment.

10. Release by Loan Parties. In further consideration of the execution of this Amendment by Administrative Agent and Lenders, each Loan Party (on behalf of itself and its shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, officers, affiliates, successors and assigns) hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably forever remises, releases, acquits, satisfies and forever discharges Administrative Agent and Lender and their respective successors, assigns, affiliates, parent entities, officers, employees, directors, shareholders, agents and attorneys (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, disputes, damages, suits, controversies, penalties, fees, costs, expenses, actions and causes of action (whether at law or in equity) and obligations of every nature whatsoever, whether liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent (all of the foregoing, “Claims”), that such Loan Party (or any of its respective shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, officers, affiliates, successors or assigns) occurring on or before the date hereof, from any or all of the Releasees, which arise from or relate to any actions, omissions, conditions, events, or any other circumstances whatsoever on or prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, with respect to the Obligations, any Collateral, the Credit Agreement, the transactions relating thereto or hereto, and any other Loan Document, other than for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent as finally determined in a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

11. Reference to Credit Agreement; No Waiver.

(a) References. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby. The term “Loan Documents” as defined in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall include (in addition to the Loan Documents described in the Credit Agreement) this Amendment and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) No Waiver. The failure of Administrative Agent (or, as applicable, Lenders), at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Loan Parties of any provision or term of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment or the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Administrative Agent (or, as applicable, Lenders) hereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver by Administrative Agent or Lenders of a breach of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall not, except as expressly set forth in a writing signed by Administrative Agent, suspend, waive or affect any other breach of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Loan Parties contained in this Amendment, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Administrative Agent or Lenders unless such suspension or waiver is (i) in writing and signed by Administrative Agent and (ii) delivered to the Loan Parties. In no event shall Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ execution and delivery of this Amendment establish a course of dealing among Administrative Agent, Lenders, Loan Parties or any other obligor, or in any other way obligate Administrative Agent or Lenders to hereafter provide any amendments or waivers with respect to the Credit Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Amendment shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed (x) to be a consent to any amendment or modification of any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents (except as expressly provided herein); or (y) to prejudice any right or remedy which Administrative Agent or any Lender may now have under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the execution and delivery of this Amendment does not effectuate a novation of the liabilities and obligations of the Loan Parties to Administrative Agent or Lenders with respect to the Loans, but merely serves as a modification of certain terms thereof.

(c) Full Force and Effect. The Credit Agreement and all Loan Documents, in each case as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(d) Reaffirmation of Security Interest. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms any and all grants of Liens to Administrative Agent in, to and on the Collateral as security for the Obligations, and the Company acknowledges and confirms that the grants of the Liens to Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and Lenders in, to and on the Collateral: (i) represent continuing Liens on all of the Collateral, (ii) secure the indefeasible payment in full in cash all of the Obligations when due or declared due in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) represent valid and first priority perfected Liens on all of the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens).

12. Miscellaneous. Titles and headings herein are solely for the convenience of the parties and are without substantive legal meaning. This Amendment may only be amended or modified by a writing signed by Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and the Loan Parties. Neither this Amendment nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Administrative Agent or Lenders, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.

13. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, the Loan Parties may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Amendment without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

14. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such a manner so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Amendment.

15. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, admissible into evidence.

16. Facsimile. A signature hereto sent or delivered by facsimile or other electronic means shall be as legally binding and enforceable as a signed original for all purposes.

17. Governing Law. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Amendment or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

18. Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF NEW YORK COUNTY, THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; OR, IF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT INITIATES SUCH ACTION, IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING COURTS, ANY COURT IN WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL INITIATE OR TO WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL REMOVE SUCH ACTION, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT OTHERWISE HAS JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS IN ADVANCE TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN OR REMOVED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ANY OF SUCH COURTS, HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH LOAN PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 15.3 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. EACH LOAN PARTY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY COURT HAVING SITUS IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR AN IMPROPER FORUM BASED ON LACK OF VENUE. SHOULD ANY LOAN PARTY, AFTER BEING SO SERVED, FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THE PERIOD OF TIME PRESCRIBED BY LAW AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, SUCH LOAN PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AGAINST SUCH LOAN PARTY AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS. THE EXCLUSIVE CHOICE OF FORUM FOR THE LOAN PARTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT, BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ANY OTHER FORUM OR THE TAKING, BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OF ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THE SAME IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION, AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO COLLATERALLY ATTACK ANY SUCH JUDGMENT OR ACTION.

19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

20. Tax Treatment of the New Principal Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amendment and solely for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, the parties hereby agree that the Lenders’ advance of the New Principal Amount shall be treated as a new loan rather than a modification of the existing Loans under the Credit Agreement, and, as a result, Treasury Regulation 1.1001-3 shall not apply to the incurrence of the New Principal Amount.  The Lenders and the Company hereby agree that they shall report the transaction consistent with this approach and shall not take any inconsistent position on any U.S. federal, state or local tax filing or with any governmental authority, in each case without the express written consent of the other party.
