(ii) if to the Administrative Agent (x) from any Loan Party, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., at the address separately provided to the Borrower and (y) from the Lenders, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Attn: Jacqueline Panos ( ***@***), 10 S.

SECTION 3. 2024 New Term Loans; Allocations and Reallocations.
3.1. Each (a) Replacement Term Lender, by executing a Replacement Term Lender Addendum, and (b) Continuing Term Lender, by executing a Continuing Term Lender Addendum, consents to the amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth in this Agreement.
3.2. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (i) each Continuing Term Lender agrees to continue, pursuant to a cashless roll, all of its Existing Term Loans as a Continued Term Loan on the date requested by the Borrower to be the Effective Date in a principal amount equal to such Continuing Term Lender’s Continuing Term Loan Commitment (as defined below) and (ii) each Replacement Term Lender agrees to provide its Replacement Term Loan on such date in a principal amount equal to such Replacement Term Lender’s Replacement Term Loan Commitment (as defined below). The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of the proposed Effective Date not later than one Business Day prior thereto, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Continuing Term Lender and each Replacement Term Lender thereof.
3.3. Each Replacement Term Lender will provide its Replacement Term Loan on the Effective Date by making available to the Administrative Agent, in the manner contemplated by the Amended Credit Agreement or as otherwise arranged by the Administrative Agent and such Replacement Lenders, an amount equal to its Replacement Term Loan Commitment. The “Replacement Term Loan Commitment” of any Replacement Term Lender will be such amount (not exceeding any commitment offered by such Replacement Term Lender) allocated to it by the Administrative Agent and notified to it on or prior to the Effective Date. The “Continuing Term Loan Commitment” of any Continuing Term Lender will be the amount of its Existing Term Loans as set forth in the Register immediately prior to giving effect to the Effective Date (or such lesser amount as allocated to it by the Administrative Agent and notified to it on or prior to the Effective Date), which shall be continued as an equal amount of Continued Term Loans (it being understood that no cash will be advanced as part of any continuation of Continued Term Loans). Replacement Term Loan Commitments and Continuing Term Loan Commitments are collectively referred to herein as the “2024 Replacement Term Loan Commitment”. The commitments of the Replacement Term Lenders and the continuation undertakings of the Continuing Term Lenders are several and no such Lender will be responsible for any other such Lender’s failure to provide, or continue its Existing Term Loans as, as applicable, its 2024 New Term Loan. The 2024 New Term Loans may from time to time be ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent as contemplated by Sections 2.02 and 2.07 of the Amended Credit Agreement. Upon the provision of, or the continuation of the Existing Term Loans as, as applicable, 2024 New Term Loans on the Effective Date, the 2024 New Term Loans shall be ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as the case may be, of the same Type and with the Interest Period(s) that were applicable to the Existing Term Loans immediately prior to the Effective Date uninterrupted thereby with the initial Interest Period(s) applicable to the 2024 New Term Loans equal to the remaining length of such Existing Term Loans’ Interest Period(s). Accrued and unpaid interest in respect of Continued Term Loans shall be paid on the Effective Date.
3.4. The obligation of each 2024 Term Lender to provide, or continue its Existing Term Loans as, as applicable, its 2024 New Term Loans on the Effective Date is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.
3.5. The Continuing Term Lenders party hereto hereby agree to waive the breakage costs provisions of Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement in connection with the prepayment or replacement of Existing Term Loans contemplated hereby.
SECTION 4. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective, and the making of, or the continuation of Existing Term Loans as, as applicable, the 2024 New Term Loans shall occur, as of the date (the “Effective Date”) on which the conditions set forth below have been satisfied:
