To that end, Audacy has entered into a First Supplemental Indenture with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas on its 6.750% senior secured second-lienim notes due March 31, 2029 that extends the grace period before which a default in payment of interest on the 2029 Notes matures into an Event of Default by 30 days. The grace period for the interest payment under the 2029 Notes Indenture in the amount of approximately $18 million that was due on September 30, 2023, which, as previously disclosed, the Issuer elected to utilize, now ends on November 29, 2023. Additionally, Audacy is using the 30-day grace period under the existing indenture governing its 6.500% senior secured second-lien notes due May 1, 2027 for the interest payment in the amount of approximately $15 million that is due on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. Audacy intends to utilize the 3-business day grace period under the credit agreement, dated as of October 17, 2016, among the Issuer, the guarantors named therein, the lenders named therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders and collateral agent for the secured parties thereunder, for interest payments in the aggregate amount of approximately $17 million that are due on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.
