Exhibit J hereto (each, a “Purchase Notice”)
that it wishes to make one or more offers to Term Loan Lenders to purchase the

shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $500,000 (or such lesser amount

(z) as shall constitute the aggregate pro rata share of the Term Loans of the
assigning Lender in the event of pro ration as contemplated in the Offer
Document).
(ii) In connection with any
assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(i),
each of the assigning Lender and the Borrower in its capacity as purchaser of
the tendered Term Loans acknowledges as of the Borrower Assignment Effective
Date (as defined below) that (i) the Borrower Loan Purchase and the assignment
are in accordance with the terms of Section 10.06(i),
(ii) the other party to the Borrower Assignment Agreement currently may
have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding the Loan
Documents or the Credit Parties that is not known to it and that may be material
to a decision to enter into the Borrower Assignment Agreement (“Excluded
Information”),
(iii) it has independently and without reliance on the other party made its own
analysis and determined to enter into the Borrower Assignment Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby notwithstanding its lack of
knowledge of the Excluded Information and (iv) the other party shall have no
liability to it, and it hereby to the extent permitted by law waives and
releases any claims it may have against the other party under applicable laws or
otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information in
connection with such assignment; provided that the
Excluded Information shall not and does not affect the truth or accuracy of the
representations or warranties of such party in the Standard Terms and Conditions
set forth in the Borrower Assignment Agreement. Each of the assigning
Lender and the Borrower in its capacity as purchaser of the tendered Term Loans
further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the
Administrative Agent or the other Lenders. In connection with any
Offer, the Borrower shall provide to all Term Lenders to whom such Offer is made
all information that, together with any previously provided information, would
satisfy the requirements of applicable law.

(iii) The Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that it will make payment of the purchase price for Term
Loans (including all accrued interest, if any, with respect to the Term Loans
purchased, through the date of such purchase) accepted for payment pursuant to
the Offer Documents by transmitting funds directly to the assigning Lender in
accordance with the terms of the Offer Document.
(iv) Assignment of any
Borrower Loan Purchases shall be effective upon recordation in the Register (in
the manner set forth below) by the Administrative Agent following receipt of a
fully executed Borrower Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment thereof
(as provided in Section

on the Business Day the Borrower Assignment Agreement is received by the
Administrative Agent, if received by 12:00 noon New York City time, and on the
following Business Day if received after such time, prompt notice thereof shall
be provided to Borrower and a copy of such Borrower Assignment Agreement shall
be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a
transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Borrower Assignment
Effective Date.” The provisions of Section 10.06(b)
shall not be applicable to any Borrower Loan Purchases consummated pursuant to
Section
10.06(i).
(v) No Borrower Loan

Agreement. The Master Settlement Agreement shall have been

upon the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Borrower, its
Restricted Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the
transfer of assets to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries contemplated

the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a first priority Lien
on and security interest in all such assets (except to the extent such assets

any such payment, such Lender shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be a
consenting Lender hereunder.
