In the event that all or any portion of the Series A New Term Loans are (i) repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced through the incurrence of any bank loan debt financing having an effective interest cost or weighted average yield that is less than the effective


interest cost or weighted average yield of the Series A New Term Loans (or portion thereof) so repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced or (ii) repriced or effectively refinanced in connection with any waiver, consent or amendment directed at, or the result of which would be, the lowering of the effective interest cost or the weighted average yield of the Series A New Term Loans (each of (i) and (ii), a “Repricing Transaction”)) on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Incremental Closing Date, such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement or repricing will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced. If all or any portion of the Series A New Term Loans held by any Lender is repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced pursuant to Section 2.23 of the Credit Agreement on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Incremental Closing Date as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent or amendment referred to in clause (ii) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such repayment, prepayment, refinancing or replacement will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced.
