Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the occurrence of the Fifth Term B Loan Refinancing Amendment Effective Date, each 2018 Other Term B Lender agrees and shall be obligated to make 2018 Other Term B Loans to the Borrower on the Fifth Term B Loan Refinancing Amendment Effective Date in an amount equal to the amount of its 2018 Other Term B Commitments (as defined below). On the Fifth Term B Loan Refinancing Amendment Effective Date (after giving effect to this Term B Loan Refinancing Amendment) the aggregate outstanding amount of the 2018 Other Term B Loans shall be $1,881,047,500.
(c)
The Administrative Agent has prepared a schedule, in consultation with the Borrower, which sets forth the allocated commitments (with respect to each 2018 Other Term B Lender, its “
2018 Other Term B Commitment
” and, collectively, the “
2018 Other Term B Commitments
”) of each 2018 Other Term B Lender with respect to the 2018 Other Term B Loans. The Administrative Agent has notified each 2018 Other Term B Lender of its allocated 2018 Other Term B Commitment and each 2018 Other Term B Lender, by providing its 2018 Other Term B Commitment and/or agreeing to the Term Loan Conversions (as defined below), as applicable, has consented to the terms of this Term B Loan Refinancing Amendment.

”) which has executed this Term B Loan Refinancing Amendment by executing option A on its signature page and that has a 2018 Other Term B Commitment (each, a “
2018 Converting Other Term B Lender
”) shall automatically be converted into 2018 Other Term B Loans (each, a “
2018 Converted Other Term B Loan
”) in a principal amount equal to such 2018 Converting Other Term B Lender’s 2018 Other Term B Loan Conversion Amount (as defined below) (the “

Non-Converting Lender
”) shall be repaid in full in cash with respect to its Existing Term B Loans with the proceeds of the 2018 Other Term B Loans.
(d)
Each 2018 Other Term B Lender hereby agrees to “fund” its 2018 Other Term B Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such 2018 Other Term B Lender’s 2018 Other Term B Commitment as follows:
(i)
