By its signature hereto, each New Borrower joins the Credit Agreement as a Borrower and a Guarantor thereunder and agrees to be bound by all of the terms thereof, and hereby agrees that it is, and for all purposes after the date hereof shall be, a party to the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents as a Borrower and a Guarantor as if it were an original signatory to the Credit Agreement. Each New Borrower hereby assumes all of the obligations of a Borrower and a Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to which the Credit Parties are party. Each New Borrower hereby ratifies and affirms as of the date hereof each and every term, representation, warranty, covenant and condition set forth in the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents which are applicable to Borrowers or Guarantors and agrees to be bound by all of the terms, provisions and conditions contained therein which are applicable to Borrowers or Guarantors. On and as of the date hereof, each reference to a “Borrower”, a “Guarantor” or a “Credit Party” in the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be deemed to include each New Borrower.

(b)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each New Borrower hereby (i) becomes a party to the U.S. Security Agreement as a Grantor thereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby unconditionally grants, assigns as security, and pledges to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing lien on and security interest in such New Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, and (ii) expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Grantor thereunder.

Joinder of New Lender. By its signature hereto, New Lender hereby joins the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and agrees to be bound by all of the terms thereof, and shall be as fully party thereto as if New Lender was an original signatory thereto.

Concurrently with each Departing Lender’s receipt of its payoff amount described above, such Departing Lender shall cease to be a party to the Credit Agreement and shall be released from all further obligations thereunder; provided, however, that such Departing Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.04, 11.07, 12.05, 12.13 and 12.15 of the Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the date hereof as if they were still a Lender. Each Departing Lender shall also be entitled to have its Obligations reinstated, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned, including upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, examinership, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, examiner, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any other Credit Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, as though such payments had not been made.

(1) the terms of any material indenture, loan agreement, lease agreement, mortgage or deed of trust, or (2) any other Material Contract, in the case of any of clauses (1) and (2) to which any such Person is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or (C) violate any provision of the Organization Documents or Permit of any such Person, except with respect to any conflict, breach or contravention or default (but not creation of Liens) referred to in clause (B), to the extent that such conflict, breach, contravention or default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)

No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person, and no consent or approval under any contract or instrument (other than those that have been duly obtained or made and which are in full force and effect, or if not obtained or made, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) is required for the consummation of the Transactions or the due execution, delivery or performance by any such Person of this Amendment or any other Credit Document to which it is a party, or for the due execution, delivery or performance of this Amendment or the other Credit Documents, in each case by any of the Credit Parties party thereto. There does not exist any judgment, order, injunction or other restraint issued or filed with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, the consummation of the Transactions, the making of the Loans or the performance by the Credit Parties of their Obligations under this Amendment and the other Credit Documents.

(e)

The representations and warranties of each such Person set forth in the Credit Agreement and in any other Credit Document are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representation or warranty already qualified by materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date

(f)

After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Each of the Existing Borrowers hereby (a) reaffirms and confirms (i) the execution and delivery of, and all of its obligations under, the Credit Documents to which it is a party, including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement, and agrees that this Amendment does not operate to reduce or discharge any Borrower’s obligations under such Credit Documents or constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations under any Credit Documents, and (ii) its guarantees, pledges, grants and other undertakings under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, (b) agrees that (i) each Credit Document to which it is a party shall continue to be in full force and effect and (ii) all guarantees, pledges, grants and other undertakings thereunder shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and (c) reaffirms and confirms the continuing security interests in its respective assets granted in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to each of the Security Documents.
