Counterparts; Execution. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement; provided, that, in any event, each party hereto shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement to Agent. Any electronic signature, contract formation on an electronic platform and electronic record-keeping shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counter-parts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Electronically transmitted copies of executed counterpart signature pages of this Agreement shall have the same force and effect as originals.

Counterparts; Execution. This Fifth Amendment may be executed in counterparts, and all parties need not execute the same counterpart; however, no party shall be bound by this Fifth Amendment until all Borrowers, all Guarantors, the Reallocating Lenders and the Agent have executed a counterpart. Facsimiles or other electronic transmissions (e.g., .pdf) shall be effective as originals.

Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Upon execution and delivery by any Guarantor of a counterpart hereto, such Guarantor shall become party hereto and a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally a party hereto. The execution and delivery of a counterpart hereto by any Guarantor shall not require the consent of any other party hereto, and the rights and obligations hereunder of the other parties hereto shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Guarantor as a party hereto.

Execution and Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or pdf shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

This Agreement, any other Credit Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Credit Parties, each Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into .pdf), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Each Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (each, an “Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of any Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer nor any Swing Line Lender is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, that, without limiting the foregoing, # to the extent any Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer and/or any Swing Line Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, each Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Credit Party and/or any Lender Party without further verification and # upon the request of any Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

Execution. This First Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. This First Amendment can be signed electronically or delivered by pdf copy sent by email.

Execution. If Grantee shall fail to execute this Agreement, either manually with a paper document, or through the online grant agreement procedure with the Company’s designated broker-dealer, and, if manually executed, return the executed original to the Secretary of the Company, the Award shall be null and void. The choice of form will be at the Company’s discretion.

Execution. The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Lenders. The Collateral Manager shall have consented to this Agreement in writing.
