Subsequently, on September 11, 2020, the Company received the consent of the term loan lenders representing more than 95.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the term loan claims under the Company's existing term loan facility (the "Existing Term Facility") to proceed with the documentation and consummation of the Transaction on an out-of-court basis, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the out-of-courtterm sheet attached as Exhibit A to the TSA (the "Out-of-Court Term Sheet").
