“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and in addition to the scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loans but less any mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 5.4.2 or Section 5.4.3 on or after the Amendment No. 4 Closing Date (but prior to such scheduled mandatory prepayments), Borrower shall make the following mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans which shall be applied to the remaining installments of the Term Loans on a pro rata basis in inverse order of maturity: (i) $10,000,000 by no later than May 15, 2024, (ii) $20,000,000 (inclusive of amounts paid under clause (i) above) by no later than June 30, 2024, and (iii) $45,000,000 (inclusive of amounts paid under clauses (i) and (ii) above) by no later than December 31, 2024.

SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties.

SECTION 7. Covenants.

SECTION 11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
