Section 5.Counterparts. This Agreement 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 Agreement by facsimile transmission or by email in Adobe “.pdf” format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
Section 6.Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

This Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document.
Section 9.Acknowledgement and Affirmation. The Borrower hereby (i) expressly acknowledges the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, (ii) ratifies and affirms after giving effect to this Agreement its obligations under the Loan Documents (including Guaranty Agreements (as defined in the Credit Agreement)) executed by the Borrower and (iii) after giving effect to this Agreement acknowledges renews and extends its continued liability under all such Loan Documents and agrees such Loan Documents remain in full force and effect.
