(c) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that 100% of the amount of any Xxxxxx Insurance Proceeds remaining in the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement Account after the payment in full of the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement shall be applied, on the date of payment in full of the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement, to prepay Loans under the Credit Agreement, and shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(c) of the Credit Agreement and subject to Section 2.4(d) of the Credit Agreement (as though such prepayment had been made pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of the Credit Agreement).

4
deposited into and maintained in the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement Account, and that if the amounts maintained in the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement Account pursuant to Section 2(c) and Section 3(b) of this Amendment are insufficient to fund the full amount of all payments in respect of the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement, then the amounts received by Borrower in respect of the External Contribution shall be used to fund such payments.
(c) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that 100% of the amount of any portion of the External Contribution remaining in the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement Account after the payment in full of the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement (net of any actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Borrower directly related to the External Contribution) shall be applied, on the date of payment in full of the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement, to prepay Loans under the Credit Agreement, and shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(c) of the Credit Agreement and subject to Section 2.4(d) of the Credit Agreement (as though such prepayment had been made pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of the Credit Agreement).
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, under no circumstances shall any amounts received by Borrower in respect of the External Contribution be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for any period.

(b) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders further agree that 100% of the amount of any such Settlement Insurance Proceeds remaining in the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement Account after the payment in full of the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement shall be applied, on the date of
5
payment in full of the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement, to prepay Loans under the Credit Agreement, and shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(c) of the Credit Agreement and subject to Section 2.4(d) of the Credit Agreement (as though such prepayment had been made pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of the Credit Agreement).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, under no circumstances shall any insurance proceeds received by Borrower in connection with the Securities and Derivative Litigation Settlement be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for any period.
