(iii)Each 2013 Replacement Term Lender hereby agrees to “fund” its 2013 Replacement Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such 2013 Replacement Term Lender’s 2013 Replacement Term Loan Commitment as follows:
(a)    each 2013 Converting Term Lender shall fund its Converted 2013 Replacement Term Loans to the Borrower by converting its then outstanding principal amount of Original Refinanced Term Loans (other than such 2013 Converting Term Lender’s Non-Converting Portion, if any) into a Converted 2013 Replacement Term Loan in an equal principal amount as provided in clause (ii)(C) above (or, if such 2013 Converting Term Lender elects to have its Original Refinanced Term Loans repaid in cash in full, shall fund an amount in cash corresponding to the amount of its Converted 2013 Replacement Term Loans to the Designated 2013 Replacement Term Lender);
