Extended Term Loans (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans under any Facility (an “Existing Term Loan Facility”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Facility) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established which shall be identical to the Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted except that:
(i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Class of Term Loans being converted to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment;
(ii) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than the interest margins for the Class of Term Loans being converted and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Term Lenders, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment;
(iii) the Term Loan Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest final maturity of all Classes of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments in effect on the effective date of the Term Loan Extension Amendment immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans; and
(iv) no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Term Loans under the Class from which they were converted are repaid in full unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of the Term Loans under such Class that were not converted. Any Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a Class of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans converted may, to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Extended Term Loans.
(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request to all Lenders of such Class that is subject to the Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under such Class being converted are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of such class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under such Class being converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of such Class which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans under such Class being converted exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election.
(c) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a “Term Loan Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender providing an Extended Term Loan thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). Each Term Loan Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto. In connection with any Term Loan Extension Amendment, the Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender) in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Collateral Documents and shall deliver such other documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection therewith as may be requested by the Collateral Agent.
(d) This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
Repayment of Term Loan The principal amount of the Term Loan shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments as follows, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 7.2:
Permitted Prepayment of Term Loans Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of the Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Payment, (C) the Prepayment Fee, plus (D) all other Obligations that are due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions (a) If any Redeemable Preferred Interests or Debt shall be issued or incurred by any Group Member (excluding any Debt incurred in accordance with Section 7.2 or Capital Stock issued in compliance with Section 7) or any initial cash proceeds that are related to a financing of a fixed principal amount of Receivables Assets or any initial incremental cash proceeds that are related to financing an increased fixed principal amount of Receivables Assets shall be received by Borrower or any of its subsidiaries in connection with a Permitted Receivables Financing, 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 Term Loans and the Revolving Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d).
(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.
