(the “Borrower”), the Guarantors (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement defined in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Loan Agreement”)) party hereto (the “Guarantors” and each, individually, a “Guarantor”; the Borrower and the Guarantors are collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Parties” and each, individually, a “Loan Party”), the Lenders (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) party hereto (the “Lenders”) and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Agent”), in its capacity as “Agent” (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) for the Lenders.
BACKGROUND
A. The Loan Parties have executed and delivered to the Agent and/or the Lenders one or more promissory notes, letter agreements, loan agreements, security agreements, pledge agreements, collateral assignments, and other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents, some or all of which are more fully described on Exhibit A attached hereto, which is made a part of this Amendment (collectively, as amended from time to time, the “Loan Documents”) which evidence or secure some or all of the Borrower’s Obligations.
B. The Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agent desire to amend the Loan Documents as provided for in this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Certain of the Loan Documents are amended as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Any and all references to any Loan Document which is amended hereby in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such Loan Document as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment is deemed incorporated into each of the Loan Documents being amended hereby. Any initially capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Loan Agreement. To the extent that any term or provision of this Amendment is or may be inconsistent with any term or provision in any Loan Document, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall control.
2. The Borrower hereby certifies that (a) all of its representations and warranties in the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, are, except as may otherwise be stated in this Amendment, (i) true and correct in all material respects (except for any representation or warranty which expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty was true and correct as of such earlier date) as of the date of this Amendment, (ii) ratified and confirmed without condition as if made anew (except for any representation or warranty which expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be ratified and confirmed as of such earlier date), and (iii) incorporated into this Amendment by reference; (b) no Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists under any Loan Document which will not be cured by the execution and effectiveness of this Amendment; (c) no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration or filing with, any third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Amendment or, if required, has been obtained; and (d) this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Borrower confirms that the Obligations remain outstanding without defense, set off, counterclaim, discount or charge of any kind as of the date of this Amendment.

3. The Borrower hereby confirms that any collateral for the Obligations, including liens, security interests, mortgages, and pledges granted by the Borrower or third parties (if applicable), shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect, and shall cover and secure all of the Borrower’s existing and future Obligations to the Lenders, as modified by this Amendment.
4. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Borrower shall comply with the terms and conditions specified in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof.
5. To induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, each Loan Party reaffirms all of its indemnification obligations contained in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 11.3.2 of the Loan Agreement.
6. This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties to this Amendment on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by electronic or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. Any party so executing this Amendment by electronic or facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart executed by electronic or facsimile transmission, as applicable.
7. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the other Loan Documents, each Loan Party agrees that this Amendment, the Note, the other Loan Documents, any other amendments thereto and any other information, notice, signature card, agreement or authorization related thereto (each, a “Communication”) may, at the Agent’s option, be in the form of an electronic record. Any Communication may, at the Agent’s option, be signed or executed using electronic signatures. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Agent of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format) for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Each Loan Party, each Lender and the Agent acknowledge and agree that the methods for delivering Communications, including notices, under the Loan Documents include electronic transmittal to any electronic address provided by either party to the other party from time to time.
8. This Amendment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, the Agent, and the Lenders and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
9. This Amendment has been delivered to and accepted by the Agent and the Lenders and will be deemed to be made in the State of New York. This Amendment will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflict of laws rules, including without limitation the Electronic Signatures and Records Act (or equivalent) in such State (or, to the extent controlling, the laws of the United States of America, including without limitation the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act).
10. Except as amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents remain unchanged, are and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until modified or amended in writing in accordance with their terms, and are hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed. Except as expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any provision of any Loan Document, a waiver of any default or Event of Default under any Loan Document, or a waiver or release of any of the Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies (all of which are hereby reserved). Each Loan Party, the Agent and the Lenders mutually expressly ratify and confirm the waiver of jury trial or arbitration provisions contained in the Loan Documents, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
