Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, each Tranche D Lender agrees to make Tranche D Term Loans to the Borrower (or, as provided below, to convert Tranche C Term Loans), in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Tranche D Lender’s Tranche D Commitment. Proceeds of Tranche D Term Loans shall be available solely for application to the prepayment of the outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Tranche C Term Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that any Tranche D Lender that also holds any Tranche C Term Loans may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent, that the Tranche D Term Loans required to be made by such Lender on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date shall, to the extent of the portion of such Tranche D Term Loans not exceeding the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche C Term Loans of such Lender, be made through such Tranche C Term Loans being converted into Tranche D Term Loans (and each reference in this Agreement or the Credit Agreement to the “making” of any Tranche D Term Loan, or words of similar import, shall in the case of such Lender be deemed to include such conversion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that the Tranche D Term Loans into which the Tranche C Term Loans are so converted shall be treated identically to the Tranche D Terms Loans being funded (and not being converted from Tranche C Term Loans) on the Tranche D Term Loan Effective Date and shall have identical Interest Periods in identical proportions and durations as all other Tranche D Loans (and, for these purposes, any Interest Periods for Tranche C Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans in effect on the Tranche D Term Loan Effective Date shall be terminated on the Tranche D Term Loan Effective Date, and any such converting Lender shall be paid accrued interest on its Tranche C Term Loans being so converted, together with any amounts payable under Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement, as if
