The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date following a Incremental Credit Extension Date of the effectiveness of an Incremental Term Loan and shall record in the Register all applicable additional information in respect of such Incremental Term Loans.

The Incremental Term Loans shall (i) not have a final maturity earlier than the Term Loan D Maturity Date, (ii) not have a weighted average life to maturity shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loan D Loans, (iii) have an applicable

margin that is not more than the Applicable Margin on the Term Loan D Loans (after giving effect to any increase in the Applicable Margin for the Term Loan D Loans), (iv) share with the Term Loan D Loans, on a pro rata basis, any mandatory or optional prepayments made by the Borrower, (v) have the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral securing, the Term Loan D Loans and (vi) have the same terms and conditions as the other Loans (except for any differences permitted hereby).”
