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 Commitment Reductions (a) No later than the tenth calendar day following the date of receipt by any Obligor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Company shall apply all such Net Asset Sale Cash Proceeds to repay any outstanding Loans as set forth in Section 2.13(a); provided that, if the Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent within seven calendar days of the date any such Net Asset Sale Cash Proceeds are so received of its intention to undertake such an investment, then so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall have the option, directly or indirectly or through one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to invest such Net Asset Sale Cash Proceeds within twelve months of receipt thereof in assets of the general type used in the business of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, further, that, if any portion of such Net Asset Sale Cash Proceeds have not been so reinvested at the end of such twelve-month period, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to the amount of Net Asset Sale Cash Proceeds that have not been so reinvested as set forth in Section 2.13(a).
(b) No later than the tenth Business Day following the date of receipt by any Obligor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Equity Issuance Event Cash Proceeds from any Equity Issuance Event, the Company shall apply 33% of all such Net Equity Issuance Event Cash Proceeds (such amount, the “Equity Prepayment Amount”) to repay any outstanding Loans as set forth in Section 2.13(a), and each such prepayment shall be accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments in an amount equal to such Equity Prepayment Amount.
(c) If at any time, the Aggregate Total Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall forthwith prepay first, Loans, and second Cash Collateralize the outstanding amount of Letter of Credit Usage at the Agreed L/C Cash Collateral Amount, to the extent necessary so that the Aggregate Total Exposure shall not exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect (or, in the case of Letter of Credit Usage, such amounts are fully Cash Collateralized in compliance with the Agreed Cash Collateral Amount).
(d) If, after giving effect to any termination of or reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess (including a corresponding reduction to each Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Issuer Sublimit (ratably) unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and each applicable Issuing Bank).

(i) all such voluntary prepayments shall require notice on or before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) not less than one nor more than five Business Days’ in advance of any prepayment of any Loan (or such shorter or longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its reasonable discretion);
(ii) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000 (or in the case of Swingline Loans, an aggregate minimum amount of $250,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000) or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Loans outstanding hereunder; and
(iii) all such prepayments shall be made pro rata among Loans having the same Interest Period.
(b) The Borrowers may, from time to time on any Business Day after the Effective Date, voluntarily reduce the unused amount of any Commitment, the Swingline Commitment and the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, however, that (i) all such reductions shall be made on not less than one nor more than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and be permanent, (ii) any partial reduction of the unused amount of such Commitment, Swingline Commitment or Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $500,000 and (iii) the applicable Loans shall have been prepaid to the extent required by Section 3.1.2 or pursuant to Section 4.12(c) or the Letter of Credit Liability corresponding to all such Letter of Credit Usage shall have been collateralized in accordance with Section 4.14.

(iii) In the event that at any time the sum of all Lenders’ Revolving Exposures exceeds the Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately first, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings, and second, at the Borrower’s option, either replace or backstop (on terms and conditions acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank) outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(iv) In the event that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Sublimit then in effect, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately, at the Borrower’s option, either replace or backstop (on terms and conditions acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank) outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(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.
Commitment Reductions Any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments required or permitted hereunder shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment on a pro rata basis based on the Commitment Ratio of such Lender for the Revolving Loan Commitment.

Tranche B Term Loans Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Tranche B Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan (each, a “Tranche B Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Tranche B Term Loans”) to the U.S. Borrower, which Tranche B Term Loans:
(i) shall be incurred by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to a single drawing on the Restatement Effective Date for the purposes described in Section 7.05(a);
(ii) shall be denominated in Dollars;
(iii) except as hereafter provided, shall, at the option of the U.S. Borrower, be incurred and maintained as one or more Borrowings of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided (A) except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.10(b), all Tranche B Term Loans made as part of the same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Tranche B Term Loans of the same Type and (B) unless the Administrative Agent has determined that the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this clause (B) shall no longer be applicable), no more than four Borrowings of Tranche B Term Loans to be maintained as Eurodollar Loans may be incurred prior to the 30th day after the Restatement Effective Date (or, if later, the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the fourth Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans referred to below), each of which Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans may only have an Interest Period of one week, and the first of which Borrowings may be made no earlier than the third Business Day, and no later than the fifth Business Day, after the Restatement Effective Date, the second of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the first such Borrowing, the third of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the second such Borrowing and the fourth of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the third such Borrowing; and
(iv) shall be made by each Lender in that initial aggregate principal amount as is equal to the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Restatement Effective Date (before giving effect to the termination thereof on such date pursuant to Section 3.03(b)). Once repaid, Tranche B Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.
Commitment Reduction The Borrowers shall have the right, upon at least two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or, upon same day notice, from time to time to permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portion of the Commitments; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, further, that the Commitments may not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate Stated Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit. Subject to the foregoing, any reduction of the Commitments to an amount below $200,000,000 shall also result in a reduction of the L/C Commitment Amount to the extent of such deficit (with automatic reductions in the amount of each L/C Fronting Bank Commitment ratably in proportion to the amount of such reduction of the L/C Commitment Amount). Each such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable; provided, further, that, if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, any Borrower Sublimit exceeds the amount of the aggregate Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Without limiting subsection (b) below, any Commitment reduced or terminated pursuant to this subsection (a) may not be reinstated.
