For purposes hereof, a Person shall become a party to the Credit Agreement and a Tranche B Term Loan Lender as of the Effective Date by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Effective Date, a Lender Addendum (Additional Tranche B Term Loan Lender) in its capacity as a Tranche B Term Loan Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the existing Term Loans of a Continuing Tranche B Term Loan Lender must be continued in whole and may not be continued in part unless otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date to give effect to any cash prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans to be made by the Borrower on the Effective Date.

3.4 Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, the continuation of existing Tranche B Term Loans may be implemented pursuant to other procedures specified by the Administrative Agent, including by replacement of such existing Tranche B Term Loans by a deemed repayment of such existing Tranche B Term Loans of a Continuing Tranche B Term Loan Lender followed by a subsequent deemed assignment to it of new Tranche B Term Loans in the same amount.

3.5 For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, at the sole option of the Administrative Agent, any Lender with existing Tranche B Term Loans that are replaced as contemplated hereby (whether by assignment of its Tranche B Term Loans to one or more Additional Tranche B Term Loan Lenders or otherwise) shall, automatically upon receipt (or deemed receipt) of the amount necessary to purchase such Lender’s existing Term Loans so replaced, at par, and pay all accrued interest thereon, be deemed to have assigned such Loans pursuant to a form of Assignment and Acceptance and, accordingly, no other action by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Loan Parties shall be required in connection therewith. The Lenders hereby agree to waive any notice requirements of the Credit Agreement in connection with the replacement of existing Tranche B Term Loans contemplated hereby (whether by assignment of its Tranche B Term Loans to one or more Additional Tranche B Term Loan Lenders or otherwise).
