The Tranche F Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrowers Tranche F Loans on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The proceeds of the Tranche F Loans will be used, together with cash-on-hand, to (i) voluntarily prepay, substantially simultaneously with the issuance of such Tranche F Loans, all Tranche B Loans (other than Cashless Converting Loans (as defined below), with respect to which each related Lender has waived its right to receive such prepayment as provided herein) and (ii) pay, in connection therewith, all accrued and unpaid interest on all Tranche B Loans to the Tranche F Funding Date (as defined below).
