7. Severability.

If any provision of this Seventeenth Amendment is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.

8. Counterparts.

9. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

  a.

submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Seventeenth Amendment and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof;

 

  b.

consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

  c.

agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at such address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement;

 

6


  d.

agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction;

 

  e.

subject to the last paragraph of Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement, waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section C.9 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; and

 

  f.

agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

10. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS SEVENTEENTH AMENDMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

11. Reaffirmation. By executing and delivering a counterpart hereof, (i) each Credit Party hereby agrees that, as of the Seventeenth Amendment Effective Date and after giving effect to this Seventeenth Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, all Obligations of the Borrower shall be guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof and shall be secured pursuant to the Security Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof; (ii) each Credit Party hereby (A) agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Seventeenth Amendment, as of the Seventeenth Amendment Effective Date and after giving effect thereto, the Security Documents continue to be in full force and effect, (B) agrees that, as of the Seventeenth Amendment Effective Date and after giving effect to this Seventeenth Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, all of the Liens and security interests created and arising under each Security Document to which it is a party remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, and the perfected status and priority of each such Lien and security interest continues in full force and effect on a continuous basis, unimpaired, uninterrupted and undischarged, as collateral security for its Obligations under the Credit Documents (as modified hereby) to which it is a party, in each case, to the extent provided in, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in, such Credit Documents (as modified hereby) and (C) affirms and confirms all of its obligations and liabilities under the Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document (as modified hereby) to which it is a party, in each case after giving effect to this Seventeenth Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, including its guarantee of the Obligations and the pledge of and/or grant of a security interest in its assets as Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents (as modified hereby) to which it is a party to secure such Obligations, all as provided in the Security Documents (as modified hereby), and acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Seventeenth Amendment Effective Date, such obligations, liabilities, guarantee, pledge and grant continue in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, such Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, in each case after giving effect to this Seventeenth Amendment effected hereby and the other transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) each Guarantor agrees that nothing in the Credit Agreement, this Seventeenth Amendment or any other Credit Document shall be deemed to require the consent of such Guarantor to any future amendment to the Credit Agreement (as modified hereby). This Seventeenth Amendment shall not extinguish the obligations of the parties outstanding under the Security Documents or discharge, release or otherwise change the priority of any Lien on any Collateral pursuant to any of the Security Documents. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations, guarantees and liabilities outstanding under the Security Documents, and it is the intent of the parties hereto to confirm that all of the respective obligations of each of the Borrower and each other Credit Party under the Security Documents to which it is a party shall continue in full force and effect.

The Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby consent to (a) each assignment of 2018 Incremental Term Loans made by any Seventeenth Amendment Non-Consenting 2018 Incremental Term Loan Lender to any assignee in connection with the replacement of any Seventeenth Amendment Non-Consenting 2018 Incremental Term Loan Lender (but only to the extent the applicable assignee is Goldman Sachs Bank USA, an affiliate thereof or has been identified on a list approved by the Borrower on or prior to Seventeenth Amendment Effective Date) and (b) each assignment of 2018 Incremental Term Loans made by the assignee referred to in immediately preceding clause (a) to any assignee (but only to the extent the applicable assignee (or an affiliate thereof) has been identified on a list approved by the Borrower on or prior to the Seventeenth Amendment Effective Date).
