(b) Funding the Fourth Advance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 3.2 of the Credit Agreement, the Term Lenders shall make the Fourth Advance on the Effective Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate
not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit and/or remit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Borrower or, if the Fourth Advance is not made on such date because any condition

Advance to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall have received such funds from the Term Lenders.
