NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(A)A new Section 15.20 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement, inserted in appropriate numerical order, as follows:
"15.20 Swiss Law Governed Security Agreements. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree for the purposes of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of Swiss law governed pledges, Agent and its sub-agent shall hold: (i) the security that it holds under a Swiss law governed security that is accessory in nature (akzessorisch) for itself and for and on behalf of the Lenders as a direct representative (direkte Stellvertretung) and (ii) the security that it holds under as Swiss law governed security that is non-accessory in nature (nicht-akzessorisch) as an agent for the benefit of the Lenders (Halten unter einem Treuhandverältnis). With regards to each pledge governed by Swiss law, each Lender (on behalf of itself and its affiliated Lender) hereby appoints and authorizes Agent and/or its sub-agent (i) to enter into, do all actions required in connection with and enforce (all in accordance with this Agreement) each Loan Document governed by the laws of Switzerland that is non-accessory in nature (nicht-akzessorisch) in its own name but for the benefit of the Lender Group, and (ii) to enter into, do all actions required in connection with and enforce (all in accordance with this Agreement) each Loan Document governed by the laws of Switzerland that is accessory in nature (akzessorisch) for itself and for and on behalf of the Lender Group as a direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) and each Lender (on behalf of itself and any its affiliated Lenders) and Borrower acknowledges that each Lender (including, without limitation, any future Lender) will be a party to the Loan Documents governed by the laws of Switzerland.
3.Continuing Effect. Except as expressly set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment, nothing in this Amendment shall constitute a modification or alteration of the terms, conditions or covenants of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or a waiver of any other terms or provisions thereof, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and shall continue in full force and effect, in each case as amended hereby.
4.Reaffirmation and Confirmation. Borrower hereby ratifies, affirms, acknowledges and agrees that the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the valid, enforceable and collectible obligations of Borrower, and further acknowledges that there are no existing claims, defenses, personal or otherwise, or rights of setoff whatsoever with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Borrower hereby agrees that
Exhibit 10.31
this Amendment in no way acts as a release or relinquishment of the Liens and rights securing payments of the Obligations. The Liens and rights securing payment of the Obligations are hereby ratified and confirmed by Borrower in all respects.

(b)No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and
(c)This Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as modified hereby, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower and are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally.
7.Miscellaneous.
