(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). (c) If, for any Fiscal Year of the Borrower commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2011, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Commitments 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.
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).
Voluntary Prepayments Commitment Reductions (a) Prior to the Stated Maturity Date, the Borrower 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 (1) nor more than five (5) 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 Borrower 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 (1) nor more than five (5) 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.
Reduction of Commitments Upon at least five (5) calendar days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate the Commitments, in whole or in part, provided that: (i) Any such termination shall apply to ratably and permanently reduce the Commitment of each Bank, (ii) no voluntary prepayment of Bid Rate Loans will be permitted, (iii) any partial termination shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (iv) after a partial termination of Commitments, any Bank with Bid Rate Loans outstanding in excess of its reduced Commitment will be deemed to have made a Bid Rate Loan in excess of its Commitment as provided in Section 2.01, (v) to the extent a prepayment results from a whole or partial termination of the Commitments, the Company will pay all costs relating to prepayment of a LIBOR Loan as set forth in Section 2.11 and (vi) the Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.06(B); and (B) If after a partial termination of the Commitments, one or more Banks has outstanding Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, in the aggregate, in excess of the such Bank's reduced Commitment then the Company shall reduce, by prepayment, the subject Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans to the amount of such Bank's Commitment on the effective date of any such partial termination; and (C) If after a partial termination of the Commitments, no Bank has outstanding Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, in the aggregate, in excess of the Bank's reduced Commitment, then, unless otherwise required under Section 2.06(B), no prepayment shall be required by the Company in connection with such partial termination of the Commitments. (D) Upon a reduction in the Commitments, the facility fee, as described in Section 2.07, will be determined based on the reduced Commitments and, accordingly, the facility fee for each Bank will be reduced.

Revolving Loan Prepayments (i) In the event of the termination of all the Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all of its outstanding Revolving Borrowings and, at the Borrower’s option, either replace or backstop (on terms and conditions acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank) all outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i).

(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.

Mandatory Prepayments of Loans (i) If at any time and for any reason the Revolving Credit Obligations are greater than the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, the Company shall immediately make or cause to be made a mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Credit Obligations in an amount equal to such excess. (ii) The Company shall make all mandatory prepayments required under Section 2.6. (iii) So long as any Term Loans are outstanding, the Company shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of (A) the Net Proceeds realized upon any Asset Sale made by the Company or its Subsidiaries to the extent Net Proceeds of all Asset Sales in any fiscal year exceeds $2,000,000, (B) any insurance proceeds received by the Company or its Subsidiaries in respect of any casualty involving such Person's property and (C) any payments received by the Company or its Subsidiaries from a condemnation of such Person's property, to the extent any of the foregoing amounts are not applied (or committed to be applied) within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the consummation or receipt thereof, as applicable, to the purchase of similar assets that are not classified as current assets under Agreement Accounting Principles and are used or useful in the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or to the repair or restoration of the Company's or its Subsidiaries' property; provided that the Company shall not be required to make any prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)(iii) if (x) no Default or Unmatured Default exists at such time and (y) the Leverage Ratio of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as reflected in the compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii), is less than 2.25:1 as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the receipt of such proceeds. If the Company or the applicable Subsidiary does intend to so reinvest any such amounts, the Company shall give notice of such intent (and the amount intended to be reinvested) to the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such proceeds. Pending such reinvestment, the Company shall use such amounts to pay down the principal amount of the Revolving Loans to the extent thereof (but without a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments). If the Company or the applicable Subsidiary does not intend to so reinvest such proceeds or if the period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence expires without the Company or such Subsidiary having reinvested such proceeds, the Company shall prepay the Term Loans (within one (1) Business Day of the expiration of said one hundred and eighty (180) day period) in an amount equal to such proceeds after giving effect to all reinvestments permitted by this subsection. (iv) So long as any Term Loans are outstanding, if the Company shall issue new Equity Interests or receive any capital contributions, the Company shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the estimated Net Proceeds of such issuance or of such capital contribution to be received in respect thereof. Promptly upon, and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after, receipt by the Company of Net Proceeds of such issuance or of such capital contribution, the Company shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds or capital contribution; provided that the Company shall only be required to prepay the Term Loans to the extent that, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such prepayment, the Leverage Ratio of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as reflected in the compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii), is greater than 2.50:1 as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company's obligation to prepay the Term Loans pursuant to an issuance under this Section 2.5(b)(iv) exceed an amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such issuance. (v) So long as any Term Loans are outstanding, the Company shall immediately prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of any Indebtedness issued by the Company or any Subsidiary (excluding Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(c)). (vi) All of the mandatory prepayments made under Section 2.5(b)(i)-(ii) shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Obligations, first to Floating Rate Loans and to any Eurocurrency Rate Loans maturing on such date and then to subsequently maturing Eurocurrency Rate Loans in order of maturity. (vii) Any prepayments pursuant to Sections 2.5(b)(iii)-(v) shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans, first to Floating Rate Loans and to any Eurocurrency Rate Loans maturing on such date and then to subsequently maturing Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and applied against all remaining scheduled principal installments in inverse order of maturity and, after the repayment of all Term Loans, to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount under, and a reduction in, the Revolving Loan Commitment.
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.
