Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
1.    Nature of operations and presentation of financial statements
We are a global manufacturer and distributor that provides products and services to customers in the biopharmaceutical, healthcare, education & government and advanced technologies & applied materials industries.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to SEC regulations whereby certain information normally included in GAAP financial statements has been condensed or omitted. The financial information presented herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
We believe that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading in any material respect when read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report. Those audited consolidated financial statements include a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Principles of consolidation
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported throughout the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Asset impairment - Ritter
The Company’s long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and certain other assets. For impairment testing purposes, long-lived assets may be grouped with working capital and other types of assets or liabilities if they generate cash flows on a combined basis. We evaluate long-lived assets or asset groups for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential inability to recover their carrying amounts. The test to determine if long-lived assets or asset groups are impaired first compares their carrying values to their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying values exceed the estimated undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is calculated as the amount that the carrying values exceed their fair values.
Persistently high customer inventory in the end markets served by Ritter and an overall slowdown in research activity has caused Ritter’s revenue to decline compared to prior expectations. Due to these sustained declines, we performed an impairment test of the Ritter asset group, which resulted in a fair value that was lower than its carrying value. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of $106.4 million on Ritter’s finite-lived intangible assets and $54.4 million on Ritter’s property, plant & equipment in the second quarter of 2023 in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
8

These charges impact our Europe reportable segment.
Our impairment test was performed as of June 30, 2023 and utilized our latest estimates of Ritter’s projected cash flows, including revenues, gross margin, SG&A expenses, capital expenditures to maintain the acquired assets, and investments in debt free net working capital, as well as current market assumptions for the discount rate.
2.    Earnings per share
The following table presents the reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023:

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, basic and diluted loss per share calculations were the same because there was a net loss available to common stockholders. As a result, 1.6 million of stock options and 0.8 million of restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

7.    Commitments and contingencies
Our business involves commitments and contingencies related to compliance with environmental laws and regulations, the manufacture and sale of products and litigation. The ultimate resolution of contingencies is subject to significant uncertainty, and it is reasonably possible that contingencies could be decided unfavorably against us.
Environmental laws and regulations
Our environmental liabilities are subject to changing governmental policy and regulations, discovery of unknown conditions, judicial proceedings, method and extent of remediation, existence of other potentially responsible parties and future changes in technology. We believe that known and unknown environmental matters, if not resolved favorably, could have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity and profitability. Matters to be disclosed are as follows:
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has ordered us to remediate groundwater conditions near our plant in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. At June 30, 2023, our accrued obligation under this order is $2.5 million, which is calculated based on expected cash payments discounted at rates ranging from 3.8% to 5.4% between 2023 and 2045. The undiscounted amount of that obligation is $3.9 million. We are indemnified against any losses incurred in this matter as stipulated through the agreement referenced in our Annual Report.
In 2016, we assessed the environmental condition of our chemical manufacturing site in Gliwice, Poland. Our assessment revealed specific types of soil and groundwater contamination throughout the site. We are also monitoring the condition of a closed landfill on that site. These matters are not covered by our indemnification arrangement because they relate to an operation we subsequently acquired. At June 30, 2023, our balance sheet includes a liability of $1.1 million for remediation and monitoring costs. That liability is estimated primarily on discounted expected remediation payments and is not materially different from its undiscounted amount.
13

Manufacture and sale of products
Our business involves risk of product liability, patent infringement and other claims in the ordinary course of business arising from the products that we produce ourselves or obtain from our suppliers, as well as from the services we provide. Our exposure to such claims may increase to the extent that we expand our manufacturing operations or service offerings.
We maintain insurance policies to protect us against these risks, including product liability insurance. In many cases the suppliers of products we distribute have indemnified us against such claims. Our insurance coverage or indemnification agreements with suppliers may not be adequate in all pending or any future cases brought against us. Furthermore, our ability to recover under any insurance or indemnification arrangements is subject to the financial viability of our insurers, our suppliers and our suppliers’ insurers, as well as legal enforcement under the local laws governing the arrangements.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with customers of our self-manufactured products to protect them from liabilities and losses arising from our negligence, willful misconduct or sale of defective products. To date, we have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions.
Litigation
At June 30, 2023, there was no outstanding litigation that we believe would result in material losses if decided against us, and we do not believe that there are any unasserted matters that are reasonably possible to result in a material loss.

Outstanding borrowings (275.9) —  (275.9)
Unused availability $ 28.9  $ 975.0  $ 1,003.9 

Capacity under the receivables facility is calculated as the lower of eligible borrowing base or facility limit of $400.0 million. Eligible borrowing base is determined as total available accounts receivable less ineligible accounts receivable and other adjustments. At June 30, 2023, total available accounts receivable under the receivables facility were $591.0 million.
15

In June 2023, we amended the revolving credit facility to increase its funding limit up to $975.0 million and extended the term to June 29, 2028. We capitalized $2.3 million of fees in connection with this transaction.
In June 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement to increase the Delinquency Ratio cap from 13.0% to 16.0%.
Senior secured credit facilities
During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we made prepayments of $170.0 million on our U.S. dollar term loan B-5 that matures on November 8, 2027. In connection with this prepayment, we expensed $1.6 million of previously unamortized deferred financing costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt. We also amended our U.S. dollar term loan B-5 from LIBOR based floating rate interest to SOFR based floating rate interest. This amendment was done in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 848 and had no impact on the financial statements. The Company is applying optional expedients and exceptions to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships as permitted under ASU 2020-04 and 2022-06.
Debt covenants
Our debt agreements include representations and covenants that we consider usual and customary, and our receivables facility and senior secured credit facilities include a financial covenant that becomes applicable for periods in which we have drawn more than 35% of our revolving credit facility under the senior secured credit facilities. In this circumstance, we are not permitted to have combined borrowings on our senior secured credit facilities and secured notes in excess of a pro forma net leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreements. As we had not drawn more than 35% of our revolving credit facility in this period, this covenant was not applicable at June 30, 2023.

Income tax expense in the quarter is based upon the estimated income for the full year. The composition of the income in different countries and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods influences our expense.
19

The relationship between pre-tax income and income tax expense is affected by the impact of losses for which we cannot claim a tax benefit, non-deductible expenses, and other items that increase tax expense without a relationship to income, such as withholding taxes and changes with respect to uncertain tax positions.

The change in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, is primarily due to an impairment loss that was recorded in the second quarter of 2023 against the Company’s investment in its Ritter business, and the establishment of new valuation allowances against deferred tax assets not expected to be realized as a result of the impairment.
13.    Derivative and hedging activities
Hedging instruments:
We engage in hedging activities to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Our hedging activities are designed to manage specific risks according to our strategies, as summarized below, which may change from time to time. Our hedging activities consist of the following:
•Economic hedges — We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain of our euro-denominated term loans and notes that move inversely from our portfolio of euro-denominated intercompany loans. The currency effects for these non-derivative instruments are recorded through earnings in the period of change and substantially offset one another;
•Other hedging activities — Certain of our subsidiaries hedge short-term foreign currency denominated business transactions, external debt and intercompany financing transactions using foreign currency forward contracts. These activities were not material to our consolidated financial statements.
Cash flow hedges of interest rate risk

In April of 2023, the Company executed a $100.0 million interest rate swap to convert SOFR based floating rate interest to fixed rate interest. The transaction is intended to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and will terminate on October 27, 2025. In addition, in April of 2023, we amended our $750.0 million interest rate swap from LIBOR based floating rate interest to SOFR based floating rate interest. This amendment was done in accordance with ASC 848 and had no impact on the financial statements. The Company is applying optional expedients and exceptions to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships as permitted under ASU 2020-04 and 2022-06.
Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. 
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $19.7 million will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense.

Net investment hedges
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments we hold in foreign entities, specifically our net investment in Avantor Holdings B.V., a EUR-functional-currency consolidated subsidiary, against the risk of changes in the EUR-USD exchange rate.
21

For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
As of June 30, 2023, we had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations:

Non-derivative financial instruments which are designated as hedging instruments:
We designated all of our outstanding €400.0 million 3.875% senior unsecured notes, issued on July 17, 2020, and maturing on July 15, 2028, as a hedge of our net investment in certain of our European operations. For instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the foreign currency transactional gains or losses are reported as a component of AOCI.
23

The gains or losses would be reclassified into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of a hedged foreign subsidiary.
Net investment hedge effectiveness is assessed based upon the change in the spot rate of the foreign currency denominated debt. The critical terms of the foreign currency notes match the portion of the net investments designated as being hedged. At June 30, 2023, the net investment hedge was equal to the designated portion of the European operations and was considered to be perfectly effective.
The accumulated (gain) related to the foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges classified in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI was $(15.0) million and $(24.3) million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The amount of loss (gain) related to the foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges classified in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income or loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 are presented below:

14.    Financial instruments and fair value measurements
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt.
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. As discussed in note 1, during the second quarter of 2023, property, plant and equipment, customer relationships and developed technology related to the Ritter asset group were deemed to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to estimated fair values of $25.9 million, $31.4 million and $19.3 million, respectively. This was the result of an impairment charge of $160.8 million. The Company estimates the fair value of the Ritter asset group using Level 3 inputs, which included a discounted cash flow analysis.
Assets and liabilities for which fair value is only disclosed
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents was the same as its fair value and is a Level 1 measurement. The carrying amounts for trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value due to their short-term nature and are Level 2 measurements.

Item 2.    Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary factors regarding forward-looking statements.”
Basis of presentation
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. Pursuant to SEC rules for reports covering interim periods, we have prepared this discussion and analysis to enable you to assess material changes in our financial condition and results of operations since December 31, 2022, the date of our Annual Report. Therefore, we encourage you to read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with the Annual Report.
Overview
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded net sales of $1,743.9 million, net loss of $7.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $343.0 million. Net sales decreased by 8.7%, which included a 9.1% decline in organic sales compared to the same period in 2022. See “Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures” for a reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA and “Results of operations” for a reconciliation of net sales growth to organic net sales growth.
Factors and current trends affecting our business and results of operations
The following updates the factors and current trends disclosed in the Annual Report. These updates could affect our performance and financial condition in future periods.
25

Our results were impacted by the continuing effects of the coronavirus pandemic
Customer demand and required inventory levels continue to normalize in the transition from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted our results for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For a discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic disruptions, and the actual operational and financial impacts that we experienced through December 31, 2022, see “Part II—Item 7—Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” in the Annual Report. For additional discussion of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic disruptions on our results, see “The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and continues to pose risks to, our business, operating results, cash flows and/or financial condition, the nature and extent of which could be material.” included in “Part I—Item 1A—Risk factors” in the Annual Report.
We have been impacted by supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures
We have experienced inventory fluctuations and build up at customers as a result of global supply chain disruptions and have experienced inflationary pressures across all of our cost categories. While we have implemented pricing and productivity measures to combat these pressures, they may continue to adversely impact our results.
Fluctuations in foreign currency rates impact our results
Our consolidated results of operations are comprised of many different functional currencies that translate into our U.S. Dollar reporting currency. The movement of the U.S. Dollar against those functional currencies, particularly the Euro, has caused significant variability in our results and may continue to do so in the future.
Key indicators of performance and financial condition
To evaluate our performance, we monitor a number of key indicators including certain non-GAAP financial measurements that we believe are useful to investors, creditors and others in assessing our performance. These measurements should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measurements, and such measurements may not be comparable to similarly-titled measurements reported by other companies. Rather, these measurements should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business.
The key indicators that we monitor are as follows:
•Net sales, gross margin, operating income and net income or loss. These measures are discussed in the section entitled “Results of operations”;
•Organic net sales growth, which is a non-GAAP measure discussed in the section entitled “Results of operations.” Organic net sales growth (decline) eliminates from our reported net sales the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that this measurement is useful to investors as a way to measure and evaluate our underlying commercial operating performance consistently across our segments and the periods presented. This measurement is used by our management for the same reason. Reconciliations to the change in reported net sales, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, are included in the section entitled “Results of operations”;

•Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP measures discussed in the section entitled “Results of operations.” Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to measure and evaluate our operating performance exclusive of interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization and certain other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales as determined under GAAP. We believe that these measurements are useful to investors as a way to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. This measurement is used by our management for the same reason. A reconciliation of net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is included in the section entitled “Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures”;
•Cash flows from operating activities, which we discuss in the section entitled “Liquidity and capital resources—Historical cash flows”;
•Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, is equal to our cash flows from operating activities, plus acquisition-related costs paid in the period, less capital expenditures. We believe that this measurement is useful to investors as it provides a view on the Company’s ability to generate cash for use in financing or investing activities. This measurement is used by management for the same reason. A reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow, is included in the section entitled “Liquidity and capital resources—Historical cash flows.”
Results of operations
We present results of operations in the same way that we manage our business, evaluate our performance and allocate our resources. We also provide discussion of net sales and Adjusted EBITDA by geographic segment based on customer location: Americas, Europe and AMEA. Corporate costs are managed on a standalone basis and not allocated to segments.
Executive summary
(dollars in millions)
Three months ended June 30, Change
2023 2022
Net sales $ 1,743.9  $ 1,910.5  $ (166.6)
Gross margin 33.8  % 33.9  % (10) bps
Operating income $ 71.7  $ 295.6  $ (223.9)

Adjusted EBITDA 343.0  404.1  (61.1)
Adjusted EBITDA margin 19.7  % 21.2  % (150) bps

The second quarter net sales decline was driven by decreases in all three regions primarily due to COVID-19 related headwinds, declines in customer demand, and the impact of customer destocking on inventory. Unfavorable product mix and inflationary factors contributed to contraction in gross margin, while softness in sales volumes drove Adjusted EBITDA margin contraction.

Net sales decreased $166.6 million or 8.7%, which included $7.5 million or 0.4% of favorable foreign currency impact. Organic net sales decreased by $174.1 million or 9.1% (declining 6.5% when excluding the impact of sales of COVID-19-related products in both periods, referred to herein as COVID-19 related headwinds or tailwinds).
In the Americas, net sales decreased $131.0 million or 11.3%, which included $1.2 million or 0.1% of unfavorable foreign currency impact. Organic net sales decreased by $129.8 million or 11.2% (8.8% excluding COVID-19 headwinds). Additional information on organic net sales by end market (with approximate percentage of total organic net sales for the region) is as follows:
•Biopharma (55%) — Sales declined double-digits, primarily due to the roll-off of COVID-19 revenues for vaccines and testing, in addition to reduced customer demand, as well as destocking of lab products and single-use solutions.
•Healthcare (10%) — Sales increased high single-digits primarily due to growth in our formulated silicones offering for medical implants.
•Education and government (15%) — Sales increased high single-digits primarily due to expanding research activity and improved sales of equipment and instrumentation to academic labs, along with increased sales to governmental research institutions.
•Advanced technologies & applied materials (20%) — Sales decreased double-digits driven by softness in the demand for our semiconductor and electronic device offerings.
In Europe, net sales decreased $16.9 million or 2.7%, which included $11.1 million or 1.8% of favorable foreign currency impact. Organic net sales decreased $28.0 million or 4.5% (1.8% excluding COVID-19 headwinds). Additional information on organic net sales by end market (with approximate percentage of total organic net sales for the region) is as follows:
•Biopharma (50%) — Sales declined high single-digits, primarily due to the roll-off of COVID-19 revenues for vaccines, testing and PPE as well as reduced customer demand, destocking of lab consumables and single-use solutions.
•Healthcare (10%) — Sales declined high single-digits primarily due to the roll-off of COVID-19 revenues for testing and PPE as well as destocking of lab consumables.
28

•Education & government (10%) — Sales declined high single-digits driven by decreased activity in academia and government labs and the roll-off of COVID-19 revenues for testing and PPE as well as destocking of lab consumables.
•Advanced technologies & applied materials (30%) — Sales increased low single-digits driven by resilient end market demand, partially offset by the roll-off of COVID-19 revenues for testing and PPE.
In AMEA, net sales decreased $18.7 million or 14.4%, which included $2.4 million or 1.8% of unfavorable foreign currency impact. Organic net sales decreased $16.3 million or 12.6% (8.7% excluding COVID-19 headwinds). Additional information on organic net sales by end market (with approximate percentage of total organic net sales for the region) is as follows:
•Biopharma (45%) — Sales increased mid single-digits due to growth in sales of proprietary materials in biopharma production, partially offset by the roll-off of COVID-19 revenues associated with vaccine production.
•Advanced technologies & applied materials (45%) — Sales declined double-digits primarily driven by softness in our proprietary offerings into the semiconductor industry.

Liquidity and capital resources
We fund short-term cash requirements primarily from operating cash flows and credit facilities. Most of our long-term financing is from indebtedness. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $168.2 million and $387.7 million of cash from operating activities, ended the quarter with $236.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and our availability under our credit facilities was $1,003.9 million. We have no debt repayments due in the next twelve months other than required term loan payments of $33.2 million and receivables facility borrowing of $275.9 million.
Liquidity
The following table presents our primary sources of liquidity:

Unused availability under credit facilities:
Capacity $ 320.2  $ 975.0  $ 1,295.2

Outstanding borrowings (275.9) —  (275.9)
Unused availability $ 28.9  $ 975.0  $ 1,003.9 
Cash and cash equivalents 236.4 
Total liquidity $ 1,240.3 
Some of our credit line availability depends upon maintaining a sufficient borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable. We believe that we have sufficient capital resources to meet our liquidity needs.
Our debt agreements include representations and covenants that we consider usual and customary, and our receivables facility and senior secured credit facilities include a financial covenant that becomes applicable for periods in which we have drawn more than 35% of our revolving credit facility under the senior secured credit facilities. In this circumstance, we are not permitted to have combined borrowings on our senior secured credit facilities and secured notes in excess of a pro forma net leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreements. As we had not drawn more than 35% of our revolving credit facility in this period, this covenant was not applicable at June 30, 2023.
At June 30, 2023, $221.9 million or 93.9% of our $236.4 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries and may be subject to certain taxes upon repatriation, primarily where foreign withholding taxes apply.

1.Consists of typical non-cash charges including depreciation and amortization, impairments, stock based compensation expense, deferred income tax expense and others.
2.Includes changes to our accounts receivable, inventory, contract assets and accounts payable.
Cash flows from operating activities provided $8.0 million more cash in 2023 primarily due to improved working capital and lower payments for incentive compensation payments for fiscal year 2022 company performance. These items were partially offset by lower operating income.
Investing activities used $23.9 million less cash in 2023 due to the additional cash paid for the acquisition of Masterflex in the previous year and a slight reduction in capital spending across the Company compared to the prior year.
Financing activities used $123.5 million more cash in 2023 primarily due to the net repayments made on the receivables facility in 2023 compared to having net borrowings in 2022. This was partially offset by lower repayments on our term loans in 2023 compared to the prior year.

As of the date hereof, each reference in the Existing Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in the other Transaction Documents to the Existing Agreement (including, without limitation, by means of words like “thereunder,” “thereof”, “therein” and words of like import), shall mean and be a reference to the Existing Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment constitutes a Transaction Document. 6. No Novation or Mutual Departure. The Seller, the Servicer and the Performance Guarantor expressly acknowledge and agree that there has not been, and this Amendment does not constitute or establish, a novation with respect to the Existing Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, or a mutual departure from the strict terms, provisions, and conditions thereof other than with respect to the amendment in Section 3. 7. Counterparts; Effectiveness. (a) This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The Effective Date of this Amendment, as set forth above, shall be completed by the Administrator as of the date when (i) this Amendment shall have been executed by the Administrator, (ii) the Administrator shall have received counterparts

(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
