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).
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.
Voluntary Prepayments Commitment Reductions (a) Prior to the Stated Maturity Date, the Borrowers may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans; provided, however, that:
(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.
Mandatory Prepayments due to Borrowing Base Deficiency In the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after delivery of the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate, prepay the Loans (or provide Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.05(k)) or reduce Other Covered Indebtedness in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured; provided that, if the Borrower (x) chooses, by written notice to the Administrative Agent within such five (5) Business Day period, to make such repayment by means of a Capital Call (which notice shall include a certification by a Financial Officer that the uncalled capital commitments of the Borrower at such time, excluding uncalled capital commitments of Defaulted Investors, exceed the amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency), the Borrower shall have thirty (30) Business Days to cure the Borrowing Base Deficiency (which 30-Business Day period shall include the five (5) Business Days permitted for delivery of such written notice to the Administrative Agent) and (y) makes the Capital Call to its Investors (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) within ten (10) Business Days of the date of notice to the Administrative Agent (and provides the Administrative Agent with written evidence of the Capital Call notice within two (2) Business Days of such notice being sent); and provided further that (i) the aggregate amount of such prepayment of Loans (and Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit) shall be at least equal to the Revolving Percentage times the aggregate prepayment of the Covered Debt Amount, and (ii) if, within five Business Days after delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating such Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Borrower shall present the Lenders with a reasonably feasible plan (other than the use of a Capital Call as described above) acceptable to the Required Lenders in their sole discretion to enable such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business Days (which 30-Business Day period shall include the five (5) Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall not be required to be effected immediately but may be effected in accordance with such plan (with such modifications as the Borrower may reasonably determine), so long as such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within such 30-Business Day period.
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 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.
Prepayment; termination of Commitment On the Agent notifying the Borrower under Clause 23.2, the Notifying Lender’s Commitment shall terminate; and thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in the Notifying Lender’s notice under Clause 23.1 as the date on which the notified event would become effective the Borrower shall prepay the Notifying Lender’s Contribution in accordance with Clause 8.
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.
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 Prepayment Upon an Acceleration If the Term Loan Advances are accelerated by Bank following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank an amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan Advances, (ii) the Prepayment Fee, (iii) the Final Payment, and (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Term Loan Advances, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
