Mandatory Prepayments of Loans (a) If, at any time, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect, including after giving effect to any mandatory commitment reductions under Section 2.13(b), then the Borrower shall promptly (i) prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess and (ii) if any such excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of any L/C Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, Cash Collateral, as provided in Section 8.4(b), in respect of L/C Exposure existing at such time in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such remaining excess.
(b) If, as of the last Business Day of any calendar month or the fifth (5th) Business Day after a borrowing, as applicable (each such date, an “Excess Cash Test Date”), (i) Loans or Reimbursement Obligations are outstanding and (ii) Available Cash exceeds $250,000,000, then the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof pursuant to Section 6.6(e) and the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, within five (5) Business Days after such Excess Cash Test Date, Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount sufficient to eliminate such excess Available Cash as of such Excess Cash Test Date and (y) the principal amount of Loans then outstanding.
(c) If, immediately after giving pro forma effect to an Asset Sale of any Rig (other than an Excluded Rig) or an Event of Loss (other than an Event of Loss with respect to an Excluded Rig), (i) the Collateral Coverage Ratio is less than 3.50 to 1.00 or (ii) the Additional Collateral Rig Test is not satisfied (any such Asset Sale, an “Asset Sale Prepayment Trigger Event”), then no later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss, as applicable, by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (the “Reinvestment Notice Deadline”), the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if less, the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations), unless on or prior to the applicable Reinvestment Notice Deadline, the Borrower (A) notifies the Administrative Agent in writing of the intent of one or more Credit Parties and Restricted Subsidiaries to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds (it being understood that such description shall not be binding) (a “Reinvestment Notice”) in (I) one or more Related Business Assets or (II) an Investment constituting a Permitted Acquisition within the relevant Designated Reinvestment Period following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that (x) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the application of such Net Cash Proceeds for such reinvestment and (y) any such Net Cash Proceeds not actually reinvested within the relevant Designated Reinvestment Period in accordance with the foregoing shall be promptly applied by the Borrower to prepay the Loans immediately upon the expiration of such Designated Reinvestment Period and/or (B) delivers an Additional Collateral Rig Election; provided, further, that if the Borrower has made an Additional Collateral Rig Election on or prior to the applicable Reinvestment Notice Deadline, but has failed to cause both (I) the Additional Collateral Rig Test to be satisfied and (II) the Collateral Coverage Ratio to be equal to or greater than 3.50 to 1.00 on or prior to the applicable Additional Collateral Rig Deadline, then on the applicable Additional Collateral Rig Deadline, the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, on or prior to such Additional Collateral Rig Deadline, Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (1) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds and (2) the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that are the subject of a Reinvestment Notice with respect to such Asset Sale (if any) and that are not required to be applied to prepay the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) as a result of such Reinvestment Notice.
(d) If the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Administrative Agent has determined that any prepayment is required under Section 2.10(a), the Borrower shall make such prepayment no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the Borrower’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent. Any mandatory prepayment of Loans pursuant hereto shall not be limited by the notice or minimum prepayment requirements set forth in Section 2.9. Except as set forth in Section 2.13(b), any prepayment or Cash Collateralization pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be made without a corresponding reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount. Each such prepayment under this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans prepaid and any applicable breakage fees and funding losses pursuant to Section 2.11.
Prepayments of Loans Other than in respect of Swingline Loans, the repayment of which is governed pursuant to Section 2.02(b), subject to Section 2.12, the Borrower may (i) upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Base Rate Borrowing or (ii) upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Euro-Dollar Borrowing, in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $10,000,000 or any larger integral multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Lenders included in such Borrowing.
Repayments and Prepayments; Application The Borrower agrees that the Loans shall be repaid and prepaid pursuant to the following terms.
Prepayment of Loans (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time up to 3:00 p.m., New York City time on any Business Day to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that interest will accrue on such amount being prepaid until the next business day if such payment is received after 3:00 p.m., New York City time.
(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan or an Uncommitted Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lenders or the applicable Uncommitted Swingline Lenders, as the case may be) by telephone (confirmed by electronic communication or facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. 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. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
Repayments and Prepayments The Borrower shall repay the Loans in fourteen equal semi-annual installments on the last day of each Interest Period, as set forth on Schedule II hereto. In addition, the Borrower
(a) 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 that
(i) any such prepayment shall be made pro rata among all Loans and applied in inverse order of maturity;
(ii) all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least three Business Days (or, if such prepayment is to be made on the last day of an Interest Period for the Loans, two Business Days) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; and
(iii) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and a multiple of $1,000,000 (or the remaining amount of the Loans being prepaid); and
(b) shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the Stated Maturity Date of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 or the mandatory repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2, repay all Loans. Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty, except as may be required by Section 4.4, provided that any prepayment under this Agreement shall be made subject to payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the FEC Counterparty) of any FEC Break Costs on written demand by the FEC Counterparty, which demand shall set forth the amount of the FEC Break Costs and reasonably detailed calculations thereof.
Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(c).
Mandatory Prepayment of Loans (a) On and after the Acquisition Closing Date and prior to the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, (i) if any New Senior Unsecured Notes shall be issued or incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.6.4 and (ii) if any other Indebtedness (other than as set forth in clause (i) or permitted under Section 6.18) shall be issued or incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary an amount (less the amount required or applied, if any, to repay or reduce commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) or other senior secured Indebtedness that such Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) permit such proceeds to be shared with in accordance with their terms) equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.6.4.
(b) On and after the Acquisition Closing Date and prior to the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than (x) issuances pursuant to the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s equity compensation plans, employee stock purchase plan and any dividend reinvestment or direct purchase plan and issuances similar to the foregoing and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, issuances or sales of Capital Stock of the Company representing or in connection with elections by shareholders of the Target to receive all or a portion of the equity component of their consideration in the form of cash from the sale of all or a portion of such equity component by the Company or its Subsidiaries), 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on the date of such issuance or sale toward the prepayment of the Loans. After the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, Loans hereunder, if any, shall be subject to mandatory redemption provisions applicable to the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Indenture, and shall be entitled to offers for mandatory redemption ratably with any such Exchange Notes and, if applicable, New Senior Unsecured Notes, if any.
(c) On and after the Acquisition Closing Date, if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereto, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds not required or applied to repay or reduce commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) or other senior secured Indebtedness that such Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) permit such proceeds to be shared with in accordance with their terms, shall be applied on or prior to the fifth Business Day after such receipt (or in the case of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Recovery Event in an amount less than $75,000,000, on or prior to the date five Business Days after the date the financial statements for the fiscal quarter in which such event occurred are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(i) or (ii)) toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.6.4; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no later than each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event (less amounts required or applied to repay or reduce commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) or other senior secured Indebtedness that such Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) permit such proceeds to be shared with in accordance with their terms) shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.6.4. Prepayments from, and, without duplication, of amounts equal to, Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Recovery Event by or of a Foreign Subsidiary (to the extent otherwise required) will be limited to the extent (x) the repatriation of Foreign Subsidiaries’ funds to fund such prepayments is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable laws, (y) repatriation of Foreign Subsidiaries’ funds to fund such prepayment could reasonably be expected to result in adverse tax consequences to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (z) such funds originate at the Target or its Subsidiaries prior to the Domination Agreement Effective Date. All mandatory prepayments are subject to permissibility under (a) in the case of Foreign Subsidiaries, local law restrictions (such as restrictions relating to financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries) and (b) with respect to non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries, organizational document restrictions, to the extent not created in contemplation of such prepayments. The non-application of any such mandatory prepayment amounts in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph will not constitute an Unmatured Default or Default and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will undertake to use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment (subject to the considerations above) to make the relevant payment, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent resulting from asset sales or operations of the Target and its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the Domination Agreement Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments made after application of the above provisions shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes incurred by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates or equity partners and arising as a result of compliance with this paragraph.
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.
