Each tranche of Replacement Term Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20.0 million (or such lesser minimum amount approved by the applicable Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall not exceed the principal amount of the Term Loans being replaced (plus the amount of fees, expenses and original issue discount incurred in connection with such Replacement Term Loans). The amount of each Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility being replaced (plus the amount of fees, expenses, original issue discount, and upfront fees incurred in connection with such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility). The Net Cash Proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans shall be applied only to prepay the Term Loans of the Class of Term Loans that such Replacement Term Loans are replacing. (b) Any Replacement Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and security with or to the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the other Term Loans pursuant to the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent) and (ii) other than voluntary prepayment, maturity date, conditions precedent and pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums) (as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment) shall have terms, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined by the Term Loan Borrower in good faith) to the lenders or investors providing such Replacement Term Loans than the terms applicable to the Term Loans being replaced (except with respect to covenants (including any financial maintenance covenant added for the benefit of lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans) and other provisions so long as such covenants or other provisions (1) are also added for the benefit of all then outstanding Term Loans or (2) only become applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Term Loans at the time of such incurrence of such Replacement Term Loans); provided, that (A) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the final scheduled maturity date of the Term Loans being replaced, (B) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then remaining Term Loans under the applicable Class (determined, solely, for the purposes of this clause (B), without giving effect to prepayments that reduced amortization of the then remaining Term Loans under the applicable Class), (C) principal of and interest on any Term Loans being replaced with Replacement Term Loans shall be paid in full on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for the applicable Replacement Term Loans and (D) the Term Loans of each Lender under the replaced Class shall be prepaid ratably. The principal of and interest on any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under any replaced Revolving Credit Facility, together with all fees owed by the Revolver Borrowers under such Revolving Credit Facility, shall be paid in full and all outstanding Letters of Credit will be replaced, cash collateralized or continued on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders under such Revolving Credit Facility, in each case on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for such Facility.

The obligations under any Replacement Facility shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than a Guarantor, and, if secured, the obligations under any Replacement Facility shall not be secured by a Lien on any Property of any Group Member other than Property that constitutes Collateral. In addition, the terms and conditions applicable to any Replacement Facility may provide for additional or different covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders under such Replacement Facility and applicable only during periods after the then Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Replacement Facility is issued, incurred or obtained or the date on which all non-refinanced Obligations (excluding Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations and contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not then due and payable) are paid in full. Any Replacement Term Loans that are junior in right of payment or security to any other Class of Term Loans will be subject to a customary intercreditor agreement reasonably acceptable to the Term Loan Borrower and the applicable Term Loan Administrative Agent. (c) Each notice from the applicable Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Replacement Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Credit Facility, including whether the proposed Replacement Term Loans will be pari passu with or junior to any existing Term Loans in right of payment or security. Any Additional Lender that elects to extend Replacement Term Loans or commitments under a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Borrowers and (unless such Additional Lender is already a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) the Revolver Administrative Agent, and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to a Replacement Facility Amendment. Each Replacement Facility shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Replacement Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the applicable Borrowers, such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders and the Revolver Administrative Agent. No Replacement Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than the applicable Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders with respect to such Replacement Facility Amendment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the applicable Administrative Agent to enter into the Replacement Facility Amendment and, as appropriate, amendments to the other Loan Documents and intercreditor arrangements as may be necessary or appropriate in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so replaced and such other amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24 (including to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b)). No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Replacement Term Loans or commitments for any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall become Commitments under this Agreement. The effectiveness of any Replacement Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders party thereto, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof (each, a “Replacement Facility Closing Date”) of (x) the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents being true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Replacement Facility Closing Date as if made on and as of such date, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided, that in each case such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect”) and (y) no Default or Event of Default having occurred and being continuing on the Replacement Facility Closing Date or after giving effect to the Replacement Facility requested to be made on such date. The proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans or any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility will be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of the outstanding Loans under such replaced Facility (or replaced portion thereof). To the extent reasonably requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, the effectiveness of a Replacement Facility Amendment may be conditioned on the applicable Administrative Agent’s receipt of customary legal opinions with respect thereto, board resolutions and officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.1, with respect to Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries. No Replacement Revolving Credit Facility may be implemented unless such Facility has provisions reasonably satisfactory to the Revolver Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility being replaced. Only one Revolving Credit Facility shall be in effect at any time; provided, that multiple tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments may be outstanding thereunder on the terms applicable thereto pursuant to this Agreement and any applicable Permitted Amendments, and any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall replace the Revolving Credit Facility under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.24. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of a Class of Replacement Term Loans or Commitments under a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (“Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments”), the applicable Borrowers may offer any Lender of a Term Loan Facility or then existing Revolving Credit Facility that has previously been subject to a Replacement Facility Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate in such Replacement Facility Amendment on the applicable Replacement Facility Closing Date the right to convert all or any portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments into such Class of Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; provided, that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the applicable Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Replacement Term Loans and additional Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Replacement Term Loans and Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and (y) with respect to any additional Replacement Term Loans, shall result in proportionate increases to the scheduled amortization payments otherwise owing with respect to any such Replacement Term Loans, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in a Replacement Facility pursuant to this clause (d) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Replacement Facility Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers and (iv) any such additional Replacement Term Loans and additional Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1.0 million (or, in the case of an outstanding Class with an entire outstanding principal amount of existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments less than a $1.0 million that is to be refinanced in full, such outstanding principal amount or commitments), unless each of the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Loans made as provided above shall be treated as part of the Class to which such Loans are added, and shall not constitute a new Class of Replacement Term Loans or a new tranche of Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments.
