Mandatory Prepayment of Loans (a) On and after the Acquisition Closing Date and prior to the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, (i) if any New Senior Unsecured Notes shall be issued or incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.6.4 and (ii) if any other Indebtedness (other than as set forth in clause (i) or permitted under Section 6.18) shall be issued or incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary an amount (less the amount required or applied, if any, to repay or reduce commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) or other senior secured Indebtedness that such Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) permit such proceeds to be shared with in accordance with their terms) equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.6.4. (b) On and after the Acquisition Closing Date and prior to the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than (x) issuances pursuant to the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s equity compensation plans, employee stock purchase plan and any dividend reinvestment or direct purchase plan and issuances similar to the foregoing and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, issuances or sales of Capital Stock of the Company representing or in connection with elections by shareholders of the Target to receive all or a portion of the equity component of their consideration in the form of cash from the sale of all or a portion of such equity component by the Company or its Subsidiaries), 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on the date of such issuance or sale toward the prepayment of the Loans. After the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, Loans hereunder, if any, shall be subject to mandatory redemption provisions applicable to the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Indenture, and shall be entitled to offers for mandatory redemption ratably with any such Exchange Notes and, if applicable, New Senior Unsecured Notes, if any. (c) On and after the Acquisition Closing Date, if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereto, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds not required or applied to repay or reduce commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) or other senior secured Indebtedness that such Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) permit such proceeds to be shared with in accordance with their terms, shall be applied on or prior to the fifth Business Day after such receipt (or in the case of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Recovery Event in an amount less than $75,000,000, on or prior to the date five Business Days after the date the financial statements for the fiscal quarter in which such event occurred are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(i) or (ii)) toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.6.4; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no later than each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event (less amounts required or applied to repay or reduce commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) or other senior secured Indebtedness that such Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) permit such proceeds to be shared with in accordance with their terms) shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.6.4. Prepayments from, and, without duplication, of amounts equal to, Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Recovery Event by or of a Foreign Subsidiary (to the extent otherwise required) will be limited to the extent (x) the repatriation of Foreign Subsidiaries’ funds to fund such prepayments is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable laws, (y) repatriation of Foreign Subsidiaries’ funds to fund such prepayment could reasonably be expected to result in adverse tax consequences to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (z) such funds originate at the Target or its Subsidiaries prior to the Domination Agreement Effective Date. All mandatory prepayments are subject to permissibility under (a) in the case of Foreign Subsidiaries, local law restrictions (such as restrictions relating to financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries) and (b) with respect to non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries, organizational document restrictions, to the extent not created in contemplation of such prepayments. The non-application of any such mandatory prepayment amounts in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph will not constitute an Unmatured Default or Default and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will undertake to use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment (subject to the considerations above) to make the relevant payment, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent resulting from asset sales or operations of the Target and its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the Domination Agreement Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments made after application of the above provisions shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes incurred by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates or equity partners and arising as a result of compliance with this paragraph.
Mandatory Prepayments (a) If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of any Borrower’s Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds such Borrower’s Revolving Credit Sublimit at such time, such Borrower shall forthwith prepay first, the Swingline Loans and then the Revolving Loans made to such Borrower then outstanding in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made to such Borrower, such 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 such excess. (b) If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, each Borrower shall forthwith prepay first, the Swingline Loans and then the Revolving Loans made to such Borrower then outstanding in an aggregate amount equal to (i) the percentage obtained by dividing the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Outstandings owing by such Borrower by the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Outstandings owing by all Borrowers multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount of such excess. 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.
Repayments and Prepayments; Application The Borrower agrees that the Loans shall be repaid and prepaid pursuant to the following terms.
Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions (a) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by any Group Member (other than Excluded Indebtedness), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance, incurrence or contribution toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Commitments as set forth in Section 4.2(d). (b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Commitments as set forth in Section 4.2(d); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(d). (c) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the difference between (i) the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow and (ii) all optional prepayments of the Term Loans during such fiscal year toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Commitments. Each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five Business Days after the earlier of (A) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 7.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (B) the date such financial statements are actually delivered. (d) Amounts to be applied in connection with mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions made pursuant to Section 4.2(a), (b) and (c) shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.8(b) and second, to reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving Commitments as so reduced; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 4.2 (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.
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.
Allocation of Partial Prepayments In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.
Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans Except as provided in subsection 2.4D, any amount required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans and/or a reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to subsections 2.4B(iii)(a)-(f) shall be applied first to prepay the Term Loans to the full extent thereof, second, to the extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof and to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount by the amount of such prepayment, third, to the extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount by the amount of such prepayment, fourth, to the extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to further permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount to the full extent thereof and fifth, to the extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit. Any mandatory reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to this subsection 2.4B shall be in proportion to each Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share.
Optional Prepayment of Loans (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans on not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Senior Facility Agent. (b) Any partial prepayment of the Loans under this Section 4.04 shall be in an amount that is not less than twenty million Dollars ($20,000,000). (c) All prepayments under this Section 4.04 shall be made by the Borrower to the Senior Facility Agent for the account of the Senior Lenders and shall be applied by the Senior Facility Agent in accordance with Section 4.04(d). Each notice of optional prepayment shall indicate whether the Loan being prepaid (i) was used for Gas Working Capital Purposes, General Working Capital Purposes or DSR Purposes and (ii) was a Working Capital Loan, Swing Line Loan or an LC Loan. Each notice of optional prepayment will be irrevocable, except that such notice given by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities and/or the issuance of other debt, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Senior Facility Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The Borrower shall pay any Break Costs incurred by any Senior Secured Party as a result of such notice and revocation. (d) With respect to each prepayment to be made pursuant to this Section 4.04, on the date specified in the notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to Section 4.04(a), the Borrower shall pay to the Senior Facility Agent the sum of the following amounts: (i) the principal of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, the Loans to be prepaid; (ii) any additional amounts required to be paid under Section 5.05 (Funding Losses); and (iii) any other Obligations due to the respective Senior Lenders in connection with any prepayment under the Financing Documents.
Voluntary prepayment of Loans The Borrower may, if it gives the Agent not less than 5 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior written notice, prepay the whole or any part of a Loan (but, if in part, being an amount that reduces the Base Currency Amount of the Loan by a minimum amount of EUR 20,000,000).
Application of Prepayments Reductions (i) Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall be applied as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided, in the event the Borrower fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied to prepay each Class of outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis and, within each Class, to reduce the remaining scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity. (ii) Any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(i) and Section 2.07(b)(iv) shall be applied ratably to each Class of outstanding Loans and, within each such Class, (i) first, to reduce the next eight scheduled payments required under Section 2.06(a) (or the applicable Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment) in direct order of maturity and (ii) second, to the remaining scheduled payments required thereunder on a pro rata basis; provided that, if at the time any amount is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(i) the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase or prepay Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt or Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with Net Cash Proceeds received from an Asset Sale or Recovery Event (such Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt or Incremental Equivalent Debt required to be offered to be so repurchased or prepaid, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided that the portion of such proceeds allocated to Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be allocated to the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of such Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Loans that would otherwise have been required pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(i) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness purchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. (iii) Any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(ii) and Section 2.07(b)(v) shall be applied ratably to each Class of outstanding Loans and, within each such Class, to the remaining scheduled payments required thereunder on a pro rata basis. (iv) Any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(iii) shall be applied ratably to each Class of outstanding Loans and, within each such Class, (i) first, to reduce the next eight scheduled payments required under Section 2.06(a) (or the applicable Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment) in direct order of maturity and (ii) second, to the remaining scheduled payments required thereunder on a pro rata basis; provided that any prepayment of Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied solely to each applicable Class of Credit Agreement Refinanced Debt. (v) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Loans (other than any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(v)), not less than five Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Loan of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount (such declined amount, the “Declined Proceeds”). Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). Any Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower.
