(d)Upon the effectiveness of this Thirteenth Amendment, the Term B-4 Dollar Loans outstanding immediately prior to the Thirteenth Amendment Effective Date shall be prepaid in full by the Borrowers on the Thirteenth Amendment Effective Date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay, and each Term B-4 Dollar Lender hereby waives payment of, any loss or expense sustained or incurred as a consequence of such prepayment.
