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.
Other Mandatory Prepayments (a) If a Change of Control occurs that has not been consented to in writing by the Requisite Lenders (at their sole option) prior to the consummation thereof, on or prior to the first Business Day following the date of such Change of Control, Borrower shall prepay the Loan and all other Obligations in full in cash together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and all other amounts owing to Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents.
(b) In addition to the foregoing, during the Amortization Period, Borrower shall pay down the principal balance of the Loan on a monthly basis in equal installments during the relevant calendar quarter, whether via the remittance of proceeds pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or otherwise, so that the principal balance of the Loan will be reduced by an amount equal to or greater than (i) four percent (4%) of the Maximum Loan Amount for each of the first two (2) full calendar quarters following the termination of the Revolving Period, (ii) six percent (6%) of the Maximum Loan Amount for each of the succeeding two (2) full calendar quarters and (iii) seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the Maximum Loan Amount for each of the succeeding two (2) full calendar quarters.
(c) During the Amortization Period, if Borrower, in any transaction or series of related transactions, sells or issues any equity or debt securities, Equity Interests or other ownership interests other than in accordance with and pursuant to any employee stock option or similar plan, then Borrower shall apply 100% (or such lesser amount as is required to indefeasibly pay in cash in full the Obligations and all other amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending)) of the cash proceeds thereof (net of reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket transaction costs and expenses and taxes) to the prepayment of the Obligations and other amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents.
Mandatory Prepayment In the event the Total Outstandings ever exceed the Borrowing Base as determined by the Banks pursuant to Section 7 hereof (a "Borrowing Base Deficiency"), Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after notification from Agent either (A) by instruments satisfactory in form and substance to Banks, provide the Banks with additional collateral with value and quality satisfactory to Banks in their sole discretion in order to increase the Borrowing Base by an amount at least equal to such excess, or (B) prepay, without premium or penalty, the principal amount of the Notes in an amount at least equal to such excess, or (C) prepay, without premium or penalty, the amount of such excess in five (5) equal monthly installments due and payable on the last Business Day of each of the next five (5) consecutive months, or (D) elect to convert the entire principal amount of the Notes to a term obligation with monthly installments of principal and interest due and payable on the last Business Day of each month from the date of such conversion to the Maturity Date, each such installment payment to be in the amount of accrued interest plus an amount of principal equal to the greater of (i) 1/36th of the outstanding balance on the date of conversion or (ii) an amount determined by dividing the principal amount outstanding on the date of the conversion by the estimated economic half-life of the Oil and Gas Properties expressed in terms of months, as determined by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion reasonably exercised. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, all unpaid principal and interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Provided, however, that in the event the Borrower elects option (C) above, the Borrowing Base Deficiency must be cured at the end of the installment period specified above or the entire outstanding principal balance due on the Notes shall immediately convert to a term loan payable in accordance with the payment provisions set forth in subsection (D) above. Provided, further, however, that during the five (5) month prepayment period specified in subsection (C) above, Borrower may elect at any time to convert to a term loan pursuant to subsection (D) above. The determination of whether Borrower has cured any such Borrowing Base Deficiency at the end of the installment period specified in (C) above, shall be made by the Banks in their sole and absolute discretion based upon an unscheduled Borrowing Base redetermination made pursuant to Section 7(b) of this Agreement.
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.
Waivable Mandatory Prepayment Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Tranche A Term Loans are outstanding, in the event Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Tranche B Term Loans, not less than five Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Tranche B Term 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. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Borrower and 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 Borrower and 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). On the Required Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Tranche B Term Loans of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Tranche B Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.15(b)), and (ii) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option, to prepay the Tranche A Term Loans (which prepayment shall be further applied to the scheduled installments of principal of the Tranche A Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.15(b)), with any excess after such prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans being further applied in accordance with clauses second through sixth of Section 2.15(b).
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.
Asset Dispositions Make any Asset Disposition, except:
(a) the sale of obsolete, worn-out or surplus assets no longer used or usable in the business of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(i) non-exclusive licenses and sublicenses of intellectual property rights in the ordinary course of business not interfering, individually or in the aggregate, in any material respect with the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (ii) exclusive licenses and sublicenses of intellectual property rights and other Asset Dispositions with respect to intellectual property granted or made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or (iii) exclusive licenses and sublicenses, assignments of intellectual property rights and other Asset Dispositions with respect to intellectual property granted or made in the exercise of the Borrower’s reasonable business judgment, where such exclusive license, assignment or other Asset Disposition is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(c) leases, subleases, licenses or sublicenses of real or personal property granted by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to others in the ordinary course of business not interfering in any material respect with the business of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(d) Asset Dispositions in connection with Insurance and Condemnation Events; provided that the requirements of Section 4.4(b) are complied with in connection therewith;
(e) Assets Dispositions in connection with transactions expressly permitted by Section 9.4;
(f) Asset Dispositions not otherwise permitted pursuant to this Section; provided that (i) at the time of such Asset Disposition, no Event of Default shall exist or would result from such Asset Disposition and (ii) such Asset Disposition is made for Fair Market Value and the consideration received shall not be less than 75% in cash or Cash Equivalents; and
(g) Asset Dispositions of accounts receivable transferred as part of a Permitted A/R Financing.
