“(v) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, including because of an Event of Default or the commencement of any insolvency proceeding or by operation of law or otherwise, the Specified Fees and Applicable Prepayment Premiums, if any, determined as of the date of acceleration, will be due and payable as though the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding as of such date were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s loss as a result thereof. Each Loan Party agrees that payment of any Specified Fee and Applicable Prepayment Premium due hereunder is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING SPECIFIED FEES OR APPLICABLE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OF THE LOANS AND THE RELATED OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO ANY PROCEEDING UNDER ANY DEBTOR RELIEF LAW OR PURSUANT TO A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION.

 

(vi) Borrower on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Loan Party expressly agrees that: (A) the Specified Fees and Applicable Prepayment Premiums are reasonable and the product of an arm’s-length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the fees and premiums described hereunder shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Specified Fees and Applicable Prepayment Premiums; (D) no portion of any Specified Fee or Applicable Prepayment Premium represents “unmatured interest” within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 502(b)(2); (E) the Specified Fees and Applicable Prepayment Premiums are not intended to act as or constitute a penalty or punish Borrower or any other Loan Party for any payment or prepayment; and (F) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each Loan Party expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Specified Fees to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement, provide the Term Loan Commitments, make the Loans and provide any applicable waiver or other consideration agreed to in connection therewith.

 

(vii) The Loan Parties agree that, once paid, the fees described herein or any part thereof payable hereunder will not be refundable under any circumstances and are in addition to any other fees, costs and expenses payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall reimburse Agent or such Lender for such costs and expenses as provided in Credit Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, all such fees will be paid in US dollars and in immediately available funds and shall not be subject to reduction by way of setoff or counterclaim. All or any portion of the fees received by Fortress hereunder may be allocated to any affiliate of Fortress, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or be shared among Fortress, the Administrative Agent and their respective affiliates.”

 

3.6. Upon giving effect to the Effective Date, Section 8.02(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding the phrase “and the Waiver Fee” immediately following each reference to “the End of Term Fee”
