If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, each Borrower shall provide cash collateral for its then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 8.2 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 105% of (A) the percentage obtained by dividing the aggregate outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations owing by such Borrower by the aggregate outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations owing by all Borrowers multiplied by (B) the aggregate amount of such excess.
Prepayments (a) In addition to the required payments of principal of New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans set forth in Section 2.11, the Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment of such Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage or Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, as applicable, of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Subject to Section 2.21, each such prepayment of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders shall be applied in accordance with their respective Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentages.

(e) If for any reason the Total Used Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments then in effect and the Used Vehicle Borrowing Base then in effect (including the Used Vehicle Borrowing Base in effect after giving pro forma effect to any Disposition or Removed Franchise required to be reported pursuant to Sections 6.02(c) and Sections 6.03(g)), the Company shall immediately prepay Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.

(h) Prepayments made in respect of any New Vehicle Floorplan Loan must specify the applicable New Vehicle Borrower and New Vehicle(s) (including the make, model and vehicle identification number of such New Vehicle(s)) attributable to such prepayment.
Prepayment of Loans (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time up to 3:00 p.m., New York City time on any Business Day to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that interest will accrue on such amount being prepaid until the next business day if such payment is received after 3:00 p.m., New York City time.
(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan or an Uncommitted Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lenders or the applicable Uncommitted Swingline Lenders, as the case may be) by telephone (confirmed by electronic communication or facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
Prepayments of Loans Other than in respect of Swingline Loans, the repayment of which is governed pursuant to Section 2.02(b), subject to Section 2.12, the Borrower may (i) upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Base Rate Borrowing or (ii) upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Euro-Dollar Borrowing, in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $10,000,000 or any larger integral multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Lenders included in such Borrowing.
All Prepayments Except as this Agreement may specifically provide otherwise, all prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied by Agent to the Obligations in inverse order of maturity. The monthly payments required under Schedule 2.1 shall continue in the same amount (for so long as the Term Loan and/or (if applicable) any advance thereunder shall remain outstanding) notwithstanding any partial prepayment, whether mandatory or optional, of the Term Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, in the event that there have been multiple advances under the Term Loan each of which such advances has a separate amortization schedule of principal payments under Schedule 2.1 attached hereto, each prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied by Agent to reduce and prepay the principal balance of the earliest-made advance then outstanding in the inverse order of maturity of the scheduled payments with respect to such advance until such earliest-made advance is paid in full (and to the extent the total amount of any such partial prepayment shall exceed the outstanding principal balance of such earliest-made advance, the remainder of such prepayment shall be applied successively to the remaining advances under the Term Loan in the direct order of the respective advance dates in the manner provided for in this sentence).
Term Loan Prepayments (A) On each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after its receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event and within seven Business Days after the occurrence of any other Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within seven Business Days after the Deferred Net Cash Proceeds Payment Date), prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below and subject to clause (B) of this Section 5.2(a)(i), Term Loans with a Dollar Equivalent principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event; provided that, with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event, Casualty Event or Permitted Sale Leaseback, in each case solely to the extent with respect to any Collateral, the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Permitted Other Indebtedness (and with such prepaid or repurchased Permitted Other Indebtedness permanently extinguished) with a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations to the extent any applicable Permitted Other Indebtedness Document requires the issuer of such Permitted Other Indebtedness to prepay or make an offer to purchase such Permitted Other Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Permitted Other Indebtedness with a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Other Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans. (B) In the event that any Tranche B-2 Term Loans are repaid (the “Repaid Tranche B-2 Loans”) prior to the third anniversary of the Original Closing Date pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(i), the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders having such Repaid Tranche B-2 Loans, a prepayment premium as follows: (x) 3.00% of such amount so repaid if such prepayment occurs on or after the Original Closing Date but prior to the first anniversary of the Original Closing Date, (y) 2.00% of such amount so repaid if such prepayment occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Original Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Original Closing Date and (z) 1.00% of such amount so repaid if such prepayment occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Original Closing Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Original Closing Date.
(ii) Not later than the date that is ninety days after the last day of any fiscal year (commencing with and including the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008), the Borrower shall prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below, Term Loans with a Dollar Equivalent principal amount equal to (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, provided that (A) the percentage in this Section 5.2(a)(ii) shall be reduced to 25% if the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto and as certified by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower) to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 7.0 to 1.0 but greater than 6.0 to 1.0 and (B) no payment of any Term Loans shall be required under this Section 5.2(a)(ii) if the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto and as certified by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower) to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 6.0 to 1.00, minus (y) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Term Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 5.1 during such fiscal year.
(iii) On each occasion that Permitted Other Indebtedness is issued or incurred pursuant to Section 10.1(aa), Borrower shall within three Business Days of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Permitted Other Indebtedness prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below, Term Loans with a Dollar Equivalent principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance or incurrence of Permitted Other Indebtedness.
Prepayment (a) Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Indebtedness in full and not in part (i) only on or prior to the day that is two (2) years after the Start-Up Day, and such prepayment shall be subject to payment of Prepayment Premium, and (ii) only on or after the date which is sixty (60) days prior to the Maturity Date and there shall be no Prepayment Premium or penalty assessed against Borrower by reason of such prepayment; provided, however, that Borrower shall give to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such prepayment. Any prepayment of the Loan shall be made on a Payment Date, and if any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay to Lender interest calculated at the Interest Rate that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal Indebtedness through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Permitted Transfers, defeasance in accordance with Section 2.10 and Property Substitutions in accordance with Section 2.14 are not prepayments.
(b) Subject to Section 8.40, at any time during the term of the Loan, if any Borrower is required by Lender under the provisions of any Mortgage to prepay the Loan or any portion thereof in the event of damage to or destruction of, or a Taking of any Individual Property, such Borrower shall pay any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation proceeds in the following manner and order of priority (i) first, to prepay the Loan to the full extent of the Insurance Proceeds or the Condemnation Proceeds, as applicable, to the extent of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Individual Property, and (ii) to the Borrowers.
(c) All prepayments of the Indebtedness made pursuant to this Section shall be applied by Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7 hereof.
(d) No Borrower shall be permitted at any time to prepay all or any part of the Loan except as expressly provided in this Section.
Mandatory Prepayments of Loans (a) If, at any time, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect, including after giving effect to any mandatory commitment reductions under Section 2.13(b), then the Borrower shall promptly (i) prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess and (ii) if any such excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of any L/C Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, Cash Collateral, as provided in Section 8.4(b), in respect of L/C Exposure existing at such time in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such remaining excess.
(b) If, as of the last Business Day of any calendar month or the fifth (5th) Business Day after a borrowing, as applicable (each such date, an “Excess Cash Test Date”), (i) Loans or Reimbursement Obligations are outstanding and (ii) Available Cash exceeds $250,000,000, then the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof pursuant to Section 6.6(e) and the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, within five (5) Business Days after such Excess Cash Test Date, Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount sufficient to eliminate such excess Available Cash as of such Excess Cash Test Date and (y) the principal amount of Loans then outstanding.
(c) If, immediately after giving pro forma effect to an Asset Sale of any Rig (other than an Excluded Rig) or an Event of Loss (other than an Event of Loss with respect to an Excluded Rig), (i) the Collateral Coverage Ratio is less than 3.50 to 1.00 or (ii) the Additional Collateral Rig Test is not satisfied (any such Asset Sale, an “Asset Sale Prepayment Trigger Event”), then no later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss, as applicable, by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (the “Reinvestment Notice Deadline”), the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if less, the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations), unless on or prior to the applicable Reinvestment Notice Deadline, the Borrower (A) notifies the Administrative Agent in writing of the intent of one or more Credit Parties and Restricted Subsidiaries to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds (it being understood that such description shall not be binding) (a “Reinvestment Notice”) in (I) one or more Related Business Assets or (II) an Investment constituting a Permitted Acquisition within the relevant Designated Reinvestment Period following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that (x) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the application of such Net Cash Proceeds for such reinvestment and (y) any such Net Cash Proceeds not actually reinvested within the relevant Designated Reinvestment Period in accordance with the foregoing shall be promptly applied by the Borrower to prepay the Loans immediately upon the expiration of such Designated Reinvestment Period and/or (B) delivers an Additional Collateral Rig Election; provided, further, that if the Borrower has made an Additional Collateral Rig Election on or prior to the applicable Reinvestment Notice Deadline, but has failed to cause both (I) the Additional Collateral Rig Test to be satisfied and (II) the Collateral Coverage Ratio to be equal to or greater than 3.50 to 1.00 on or prior to the applicable Additional Collateral Rig Deadline, then on the applicable Additional Collateral Rig Deadline, the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, on or prior to such Additional Collateral Rig Deadline, Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (1) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds and (2) the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that are the subject of a Reinvestment Notice with respect to such Asset Sale (if any) and that are not required to be applied to prepay the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) as a result of such Reinvestment Notice.
(d) If the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Administrative Agent has determined that any prepayment is required under Section 2.10(a), the Borrower shall make such prepayment no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the Borrower’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent. Any mandatory prepayment of Loans pursuant hereto shall not be limited by the notice or minimum prepayment requirements set forth in Section 2.9. Except as set forth in Section 2.13(b), any prepayment or Cash Collateralization pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be made without a corresponding reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount. Each such prepayment under this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans prepaid and any applicable breakage fees and funding losses pursuant to Section 2.11.
