Repayment and Prepayment (a) Unless a prepayment in full under this Section 2.03 or Section 2.07, has occurred, the Borrower shall repay to the Lender the entire outstanding amount of the Loan on the Final Maturity Date.
(b) At any time and from time to time the Borrower may voluntarily prepay any outstanding Loan in whole or in part, but if in part, subject to a minimum prepayment amount of $5,000,000, by sending a notice to the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day of such prepayment (an "Early Repayment"), which notice shall state the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment.
(c) If a Borrower Change of Control or Guarantor Change of Control has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day prepay in full the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loan plus any other amounts owing to the Lender under the Loan Documents.
(d) If the Liens in the Collateral created under the Collateral Documents cease to be enforceable first priority Liens in favor of the Lender (except to the extent expressly permitted thereunder) ("Unenforceability Event"), the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall on the date of receipt of such notice prepay in full the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loan plus any other amounts owing to the Lender under the Loan Documents.
(e) The Borrower may voluntarily prepay the outstanding Loans in whole at any time without prior notice within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of (i) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender or the Custodian failing to maintain its registration in good standing with the New York Department of Financial Services, (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender or the Custodian ceasing, or announcing its intention to cease, conducting business in the State of New York or (iii) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender or the Custodian.
(f) If at any time (whether or not it is a Business Day or within normal business hours) the Actual LTV Ratio is equal to or in excess of the Liquidation LTV, the Administrative Agent may deliver a LTV Breach Notice to the Borrower (which may be by e-mail), with a copy to each party hereto, and, if the Borrower does not deposit sufficient additional Collateral in the Collateral Account within 24 hours after the receipt of such LTV Breach Notice to cause the Actual LTV Ratio, after taking into account such additional Collateral, to be less than or equal to the Initial LTV, the outstanding Loan shall become immediately due and payable in full (whether or not it is a Business Day or within normal business hours) and the Borrower shall immediately prepay the outstanding Loan together with any other amounts owed to the Lender under the Loan Documents.
(g) On the first Drawdown Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender by way of upfront fee, an amount equal to 0.8% of the Commitment (being US$400,000). Such amount may be netted against and deducted from Loan A and the Lender shall only be obliged to advance the resulting net amount of US$14,600,000 in respect of Loan A.
(h) If the Loan is to be repaid or prepaid by the Borrower at any time prior to the Final Maturity Date, any such repayment or prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest to the date of such repayment or prepayment on the principal amount repaid or prepaid together with, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.03(i) below, the Early Termination Fee. The parties agree that any Early Termination Fee payable hereunder is intended to compensate the Lender for lost anticipated profits as a result of such early repayment or prepayment and shall not be considered as a penalty.
(i) If the Loan is repaid or prepaid by the Borrower at any time prior to the Final Maturity Date other than pursuant to Section 2.03(e), Section 2.03(f) and Section 2.12(d) (including without limitation pursuant to Section 2.03(b), Section 2.03(c), Section 2.03(d) or Section 2.07), the prepayment shall be accompanied by an amount equal to the Early Termination Fee, save where the Borrower gives notice to prepay the Loan in full within 24 hours after the commencement of a Deleveraging Trigger Period in which case no Early Termination Fee shall be payable.
(j) If the Loan is prepaid pursuant to Section 2.03(f), no Early Termination Fee shall be payable.
Term Loan Prepayments (i) On each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event (other than one covered by clause (iii) below) and within ten Business Days after the occurrence of any other Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within ten Business Days after the Deferred Net Cash Proceeds Payment Date), prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below, Term Loans with an equivalent principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event; provided, that, other than in the case of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, the percentage in this Section 5.2(a)(i) shall be reduced to 50% if the First Lien Leverage Ratio on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto) for the most recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 4.50:1.00; provided further, that, with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event, Casualty Event or Permitted Sale Leaseback, in each case solely to the extent with respect to any Collateral, the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Permitted Other Indebtedness (and with such prepaid or repurchased Permitted Other Indebtedness permanently extinguished) with a Lien on the Collateral ranking equal with the Liens securing the Obligations to the extent any applicable Permitted Other Indebtedness Document requires the issuer of such Permitted Other Indebtedness to prepay or make an offer to purchase such Permitted Other Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Permitted Other Indebtedness with a Lien on the Collateral ranking equal with the Liens securing the Obligations and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Other Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.
(ii) Not later than ten Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(a) for any fiscal year (commencing with and including the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018), the Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid), in accordance with clause (c) below, Term Loans with a principal amount equal to (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year; provided that (A) the percentage in this Section 5.2(a)(ii) shall be reduced to 25% if the First Lien Leverage Ratio on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto but giving effect to any prepayment described in clause (y) below and as certified by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower) for the most recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00 but greater than 3.75 to 1.00, and (B) no payment of any Term Loans shall be required under this Section 5.2(a)(ii) if the First Lien Leverage Ratio on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto but giving effect to any prepayment described in clause (y) below and as certified by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower) for the most recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00, minus (y) the principal amount of Term Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 13.6(h) (in each case, including purchases of the Loans by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at or below par, in which case the amount of voluntary prepayments of Loans shall be deemed not to exceed the actual purchase price of such Loans below par) and, to the extent accompanied by permanent optional reductions of Revolving Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, in each case during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the date of the required Excess Cash Flow payment and other than to the extent any such prepayment is funded with the proceeds of Funded Debt.
(iii) On each occasion that Permitted Other Indebtedness is issued or incurred pursuant to Section 10.1(w), the 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 principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance or incurrence of Permitted Other Indebtedness.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Prepayment Event by a Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to clause (i) or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by any Requirements of Law from being repatriated to the Credit Parties, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as the case may be, but only so long, as the applicable Requirements of Law will not permit repatriation to the Credit Parties (the Credit Parties hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable Requirements of Law to permit repatriation), and once a repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable Requirements of Law, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) applied (net of any taxes that would be payable or reserved against if such amounts were actually repatriated whether or not they are repatriated) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, as applicable, and (B) mandatory prepayments required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be limited to the extent that and for so long as such prepayment requirement, in the good faith determination of the Borrower, arises out of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event (in the case of clause (i)) or Excess Cash Flow (in the case of clause (ii)), and, in each case, the Borrower determines that such prepayment would result in material adverse tax consequences related to the repatriation of funds in connection therewith by Foreign Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 5, shall be construed to require any Subsidiary to repatriate cash.
Prepayments and Amendments (a) Except in connection with Refinancing Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1,
(i) optionally prepay, redeem, defease, purchase, or otherwise acquire any Indebtedness of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, other than (A) the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement, (B) Permitted Intercompany Advances, and (C) other Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1,000,000, so long as no Event of Default shall exist or arise as a result thereof and Borrower shall have Availability plus Qualified Cash in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000,000 immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the proposed prepayment, redemption, defeasance, purchase or other acquisition of Indebtedness,
(ii) make any payment on account of Indebtedness that has been contractually subordinated in right of payment if such payment is not permitted at such time under the subordination terms and conditions, provided that in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, payments on account of Indebtedness consisting of Earn-outs that have been contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations may be made so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom; (B) Borrower and its Subsidiaries have Excess Availability plus Qualified Cash of at least $25,000,000, both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to any such payment; and (C) the payment is required to be made by the acquisition agreement relative to the Permitted Acquisition; provided further that if at any time any such payment is not permitted to be paid as a result of the failure to satisfy the condition set forth in clauses (A) or (B) of this Section 6.7(a)(ii), then (1) such amount together with interest at a market rate applicable to Indebtedness consisting of Earn-outs shall continue to accrue, and (2) any such amount, together with accrued interest, may be paid so long as each of the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this Section 6.7(a)(ii) is satisfied at the time of the making of such payment, or
(b) Directly or indirectly, amend, modify, or change any of the terms or provisions of
(i) any agreement, instrument, document, indenture, or other writing evidencing or concerning Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.1 if the terms and conditions thereof could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to Agent, any Lender, Borrower, or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries,
(ii) any Material Contract except to the extent that such amendment, modification, alteration, increase, or change could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders, or
(iii) the Governing Documents of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries if the effect thereof, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders; provided that the adoption and implementation of a stockholders rights plan shall not be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders. Nothing in this Section 6.7(b)(iii) shall permit Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to make any distributions under such a stockholders rights plan other than as permitted by Section 6.9(c).

Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.

(b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, to the extent a Reinvestment Notice shall not have been delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within ten days after the date that all post-closing adjustments associated therewith have been completed toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(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 Term Loans and the Revolving Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d).

Each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(b), for the Fiscal Year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Agents and the Lenders) and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.
(d) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.17(b) and, second, to reduce the Swingline Loans and then Revolving Loans without a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.11 (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.11(d) or 2.17, with respect to the amount of any mandatory prepayment described in Section 2.11 that is allocated to Tranche B Term Loans (such amount, the “Tranche B Prepayment Amount”), at any time when Tranche A Term Loans remain outstanding, the Borrower will, in lieu of applying such amount to the prepayment of Tranche B Term Loans, as provided in Section 2.11(d) above, on the date specified in Section 2.11 for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent prepare and provide to each Tranche B Term Lender a notice (each, a “Prepayment Option Notice”) as described below. As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each Tranche B Term Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit G, and shall include an offer by the Borrower to prepay on the date (each a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) that is 10 Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice, the relevant Term Loans of such Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Tranche B Prepayment Amount indicated in such Lender’s Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Lender’s Tranche B Term Loans. On the Mandatory Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Tranche B Term Lenders the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Term Loans as described above in respect of which such Lenders have accepted prepayment (it being understood that a failure to respond to a Prepayment Option Notice shall be deemed an acceptance of the prepayment referenced therein) and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to the Tranche A Term Lenders an amount equal to the portion of the Tranche B Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant Lenders, and such amount shall be applied to the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans; provided that if after the application of amounts pursuant to clause (ii), any portion of the Tranche B Prepayment Amount not accepted by the Tranche B Term Lenders shall remain, such amount shall be used to prepay the Tranche B Term Loans on a pro rata basis.
