Each Loan Party ratifies and confirms that all Liens granted, conveyed, or assigned to the Collateral Agent by such Person pursuant to any Loan Document to which it is a party remain in full force and effect, are not released or reduced, and continue to secure full payment and performance of the Obligations as modified hereby, subject to Section 5.10 of the Existing Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations (which, for the avoidance of doubt, include the Obligations in respect of the 2025 Refinancing Revolving Facility Loans incurred under this Agreement) of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case, as amended by this Agreement.
section 9.Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents.  (a) On and after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, each reference in the Amended Credit Agreement to “hereunder”, “hereof”, “Agreement”, “this Agreement” or words of like import and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “Credit Agreement”, Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean and be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement. From and after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, this Agreement shall be a Loan Document under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement.
(b)The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.
(c)The 2025 Refinancing Revolving Facility Lenders shall constitute a “Lender”, the 2025 Refinancing Revolving Facility Loans shall constitute “Revolving Facility Loans” and “Loans” and the “2025 Refinancing Revolving Facility Commitments” shall constitute “Revolving Facility Commitments” and “Commitments”, in each case, for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The 2025 Refinancing Revolving Facility Loans shall be on the terms contemplated hereby and by the Amended Credit Agreement.
section 10.Execution in Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic transmission (PDF or TIFF format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any signature to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signature and Records Act or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, extension or renewal of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that it has the corporate capacity and authority to execute this Agreement through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in such party’s constitutive documents. The words

12


“execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Requirements of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
section 11.Amendments; Headings; Severability. This Agreement may not be amended nor may any provision hereof be waived except in accordance with Section 10.08 of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
section 12.Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each party agrees that the terms and provisions of Section 10.15 the Existing Credit Agreement are incorporated by reference herein and apply mutatis mutandis to all of the activities in connection with this Agreement and each party hereto shall be bound thereby with respect to this Agreement, the performance of services hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby.
section 13.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  Section 10.11 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated mutatis mutandis.

13


section 14.No Novation. This Agreement shall not extinguish any obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement other than the Existing Revolving Facility Commitments, or discharge or release the Lien or priority of any Security Document or any other security therefor, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except, in each case, to the extent modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith and except to the extent repaid as provided herein. Nothing implied in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities as a borrower, guarantor or pledgor under any of the Loan Documents, other than with respect to the obligations in respect of the Existing Revolving Facility Commitments as set forth herein.
section 15.Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 of the Amended Credit Agreement. The parties hereto hereby waive any notice periods that may have otherwise been applicable with respect to termination of the Existing Revolving Facility Commitments.
