(c)           All borrowings of Tranche B Term Loans made on the Repricing Effective Date will have initial Interest Periods ending on the same dates as the Interest Periods applicable at such time to the Existing Term Loans, and the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Tranche B Term Loans during such initial Interest Periods will be the same as that applicable at such time to the Existing Term Loans being refinanced.  The Borrower will not be required to make any payments to Existing Term Lenders under Section 4.11 of the Credit Agreement in respect of the repayment of Existing Term Loans on the Repricing Effective Date pursuant to their exchange for Tranche B Term Loans.

(d)           On the Repricing Effective Date, the Borrower shall apply the cash proceeds of the Tranche B Term Loans and such other amounts as may be necessary to (i) prepay in full all Existing Term Loans (other than those that are exchanged for Tranche B Term Loans as provided herein), (ii) pay all accrued and unpaid interest and fees, if any, on all Existing Term Loans, (iii) pay to each Existing Term Lender all amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Credit Agreement as a result of the prepayment of such Lender’s Existing Term Loans (other than any portion thereof that is exchanged for Tranche B Term Loans as provided herein) on the Repricing Effective Date and (iv) pay all other Obligations then due and owing to the Existing Term Lenders, in their capacity as such, under the Credit Agreement.
