The Third Amendment also provides that upon the consummation of a spin-off separating Neustar’s business into two separate companies focusing on Neustar’s Information Services business and Order Management and Numbering Services business, respectively, the commitments under the revolving credit facility will be permanently reduced to zero and Neustar must prepay all outstanding advances under the Credit Agreement.

(s)    For the purposes of the Credit Agreement, the definition of “Term Facility Maturity Date” as amended herein shall be considered the applicable “Extended Termination Date” and each Term Lender consenting to this Amendment No. 3 shall be considered an “Extending Lender” with respect to the Term Advances and Term Commitments of such Lender. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Term Advances outstanding under the initial advance made to the Borrower on the Closing Date and the 2015 Incremental Facility shall constitute Term Advances of the same class for all purposes under the Credit Agreement.
