II. Miscellaneous Provisions.
1.

2. This First Amendment is limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (i) be a waiver of or a consent to the modification of or deviation from any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any of the other instruments or agreements referred to therein, or (ii) prejudice any right or rights which any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Credit Documents or any of the other instruments or agreements referred to therein.
3. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
4. THIS FIRST AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
5. This First Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “First Amendment Effective Date”) when (i) the Borrower, Arlington, the Parent and the Required Lenders shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including by way of facsimile or other electronic transmission) the same to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid a non-refundable cash fee of $30,000 (the “Fee”) to each Lender party hereto, which fee shall be earned by each such Lender on the First Amendment Effective Date and made payable to the Administrative Agent for distribution to such Lenders, and (iii) an amendment to (x) the 2008 Credit Agreement and (y) the 2010 Credit Agreement, in each case in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B respectively, shall have become effective in accordance with its terms and the Administrative Agent shall have received a copy thereof.
6. From and after the First Amendment Effective Date, all references in the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement, as modified hereby on the First Amendment Effective Date.
7. Borrower hereby reaffirms its obligations under Section 13.01 of the Credit Agreement and agrees to pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of Kirkland & Ellis LLP) in connection with the First Amendment.
