(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 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.

(b) Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loans and the Other Term Loans, if any, as determined by the Borrower and shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans under Section 2.11 as instructed by the Borrower in the notice set forth in Section 2.12(c), provided that if such notice omits such instructions, optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied pro rata against such remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans under Section 2.11.
(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid and instructions with respect to the application under Section 2.12(b) of any prepayments of Term Loans, shall be irrevocable (unless such notice is expressly conditioned upon a refinancing of the Credit Facilities, in which case such notice may be rescinded if such refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed) and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(New York City time) on the date of prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and, if such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c).
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.
Notice of Optional Prepayment The Company shall give the holder of each Note of a Series to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 4C irrevocable written notice of such prepayment not less than 10 Business Days prior to the prepayment date, specifying such prepayment date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of the Notes of such Series held by such holder to be prepaid on that date and that such prepayment is to be made pursuant to paragraph 4C. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Notes specified in such notice, together with interest thereon to the prepayment date and together with the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, herein provided, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date. The Company shall, on or before the day on which it gives written notice of any prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4C, give telephonic notice of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid and the prepayment date to each Significant Holder which shall have designated a recipient for such notices in the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto or the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance or by notice in writing to the Company.
Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.
Mandatory Reduction of Payments in Certain Events Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then, prior to the making of any Payment to Executive, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net benefit to Executive of the Payment after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the net benefit to Executive if the Payment had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payment shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). In that event, cash payments shall be modified or reduced first and then any other benefits. The determination of whether an Excise Tax would be imposed, the amount of such Excise Tax, and the calculation of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the foregoing sentence shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive, at the Company’s expense (the “Accounting Firm”), and the Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments which Executive was entitled to, but did not receive pursuant to this Section 21, could have been made without the imposition of the Excise Tax (“Underpayment”). In such event, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.
Application of Certain Mandatory Prepayments Any prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(iii) above, and any prepayments from insurance or condemnation proceeds in accordance with Section 5.4(c), shall be applied as follows: first, to Fees and reimbursable expenses of Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to interest then due and payable on the Swing Line Loan; third, to the principal balance of the Swing Line Loan until the same has been repaid in full; fourth, to interest then due and payable on Revolving Credit Advances; fifth, to the principal balance of Revolving Credit Advances until the same has been paid in full; and sixth, to any Letter of Credit Obligations of Borrower to provide cash collateral therefor in the manner set forth in Annex B, until all such Letter of Credit Obligations have been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth in Annex B. Neither the Revolving Loan Commitment nor the Swing Line Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount of any such prepayments. Any prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(iv) above shall be applied to the principal balance of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and as a concurrent and permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment, pro rata among all Lenders.
