(o)

(e)Released Guarantors. Neither of the Released Guarantors constitutes a “Material Subsidiary” immediately before or after giving effect to this Amendment.

(p)

Section 6. Effect of this Amendment; No Further Amendments; Ratification of Liability. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Existing Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby require strict compliance with the terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each reference in the Existing Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like import referring to the Existing Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Existing Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment shall not in any way affect the validity and enforceability of any Loan Document to which it is a party, or reduce, impair or discharge the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party. The Lenders’ agreement to the terms of this Amendment or any other Loan Document shall not be deemed to establish or create a custom or course of dealing between the Borrower, the Loan Parties or the Lenders, or any of them. This Amendment shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for all purposes under the Credit Agreement. The amendments contained herein shall be deemed to have prospective application only.

Section 7. Joinder of New Guarantor to Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement. In accordance with Section 20 of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, the New Guarantor, by its signature below, hereby becomes a “Guarantor” under (and as defined in) the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor thereunder, and the New Guarantor hereby (1) agrees that all the terms and provisions of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement are applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder and (2) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct all as if such representations and warranties were set forth herein in full on and as of the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that the joinder referenced in this Section 7 has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (y) the parties to this Amendment hereby agree that this Section 7 shall operate to effect the New Guarantor’s joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement in lieu of a separate “Annex 1” as described in Section 20 of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement. Each reference to a Guarantor in the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Section 7 by reference.

Section 9. Other Provisions.
