Discounted Voluntary Prepayments (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including Section 2.13) or any other Loan Document, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans to the Lenders thereof at a discount to the par value of such Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.05(e); provided that (A) no proceeds from Revolving Credit Loans shall be used to consummate any such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (B) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment hereunder must be offered to all relevant Term Lenders on a pro rata basis and must be offered simultaneously on a pro rata basis with a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment” as defined in the other Group Credit Agreements, as applicable on a pro rata basis, (C) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (D) no more than one Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall be issued and pending at any one time and (E) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, together with each Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (1) stating that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.05(e) has been satisfied and (2) specifying the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.
(ii) To the extent the Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower will provide written notice to the Auction Manager substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that the Borrower desires to prepay any one or more designated Classes of Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by the Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of any Loans shall not be less than $10,000,000. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Loans to be prepaid, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid (the “Discount Range”), and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).
(iii) Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Auction Manager shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Auction Manager (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of the Loans to be prepaid held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of the Loans to be prepaid specified by the Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, shall determine the applicable discount for such Loans to be prepaid (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (1) the percentage specified by the Borrower if the Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.05(e)(ii) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (2) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans. Any Lender with outstanding Loans to be prepaid whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.
(iv) The Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Loans to be prepaid (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.
(v) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.05(e)(i), each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent and Auction Manager shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 3.05), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m., three Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, the Auction Manager shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.05(e)(i), the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid. Upon consummation of each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, any such Term Loans so prepaid shall be immediately cancelled and the par principal amount of such Term Loans so prepaid shall be applied ratably to reduce the remaining installments of such Class of Term Loans (as applicable).
(vi) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.05(e)(iii) above) established by the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager and the Borrower.
(vii) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, (A) upon written notice to the Auction Manager, the Borrower may withdraw or modify its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (B) no Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice unless the terms of such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment have been modified by the Borrower after the date of such Lender Participation Notice.
(viii) Nothing in this Section 2.05(e) shall (A) require the Borrower to undertake any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (B) require any Lender to submit a Lender Participation Notice or (C) limit or restrict the Borrower from making voluntary prepayments of Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(a).
(ix) The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article IX and Section 10.04 to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.
(x) Upon the completion of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the remaining Group Term Loans of the same Class may be re-allocated among the Group Lenders of such Class pursuant to Section 10.20 to maintain Group Facilities Ratable Status.
Voluntary Prepayment Subject to the following conditions, the Borrower may prepay the whole or any part of the Loan on the last day of an Interest Period.
Voluntary Prepayments The Borrower may, upon delivery of a Notice of Loan Prepayment from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any such prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
Voluntary Prepayments of Loans The Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans of any Class in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any such prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); (iv) any prepayment of the Term Loans shall be in such proportions as the Borrower shall elect and each such prepayment shall be applied as directed by the Borrower and, absent such direction, shall be applied in direct order of maturity to the remaining principal amortization payments of the applicable Term Loan; and (v) any such notice may be conditioned on the effectiveness of other financing arrangements or one or more other transactions. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, subject to the occurrence of any condition(s) specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be applied to the applicable Class of Loans being prepaid of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages for such Class.
Voluntary prepayment of Loans The Borrower may, if it gives the Agent not less than 5 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior written notice, prepay the whole or any part of a Loan (but, if in part, being an amount that reduces the Base Currency Amount of the Loan by a minimum amount of EUR 20,000,000).
Mandatory Prepayments (a) If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of any Borrower’s Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds such Borrower’s Revolving Credit Sublimit at such time, such Borrower shall forthwith prepay first, the Swingline Loans and then the Revolving Loans made to such Borrower then outstanding in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made to such Borrower, such Borrower shall provide cash collateral for its then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 8.2 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 105% of such excess.
(b) If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, each Borrower shall forthwith prepay first, the Swingline Loans and then the Revolving Loans made to such Borrower then outstanding in an aggregate amount equal to (i) the percentage obtained by dividing the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Outstandings owing by such Borrower by the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Outstandings owing by all Borrowers multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount of such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, each Borrower shall provide cash collateral for its then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 8.2 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 105% of (A) the percentage obtained by dividing the aggregate outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations owing by such Borrower by the aggregate outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations owing by all Borrowers multiplied by (B) the aggregate amount of such excess.
Mandatory Prepayment In the event the Total Outstandings ever exceed the Borrowing Base as determined by the Banks pursuant to Section 7 hereof (a "Borrowing Base Deficiency"), Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after notification from Agent either (A) by instruments satisfactory in form and substance to Banks, provide the Banks with additional collateral with value and quality satisfactory to Banks in their sole discretion in order to increase the Borrowing Base by an amount at least equal to such excess, or (B) prepay, without premium or penalty, the principal amount of the Notes in an amount at least equal to such excess, or (C) prepay, without premium or penalty, the amount of such excess in five (5) equal monthly installments due and payable on the last Business Day of each of the next five (5) consecutive months, or (D) elect to convert the entire principal amount of the Notes to a term obligation with monthly installments of principal and interest due and payable on the last Business Day of each month from the date of such conversion to the Maturity Date, each such installment payment to be in the amount of accrued interest plus an amount of principal equal to the greater of (i) 1/36th of the outstanding balance on the date of conversion or (ii) an amount determined by dividing the principal amount outstanding on the date of the conversion by the estimated economic half-life of the Oil and Gas Properties expressed in terms of months, as determined by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion reasonably exercised. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, all unpaid principal and interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Provided, however, that in the event the Borrower elects option (C) above, the Borrowing Base Deficiency must be cured at the end of the installment period specified above or the entire outstanding principal balance due on the Notes shall immediately convert to a term loan payable in accordance with the payment provisions set forth in subsection (D) above. Provided, further, however, that during the five (5) month prepayment period specified in subsection (C) above, Borrower may elect at any time to convert to a term loan pursuant to subsection (D) above. The determination of whether Borrower has cured any such Borrowing Base Deficiency at the end of the installment period specified in (C) above, shall be made by the Banks in their sole and absolute discretion based upon an unscheduled Borrowing Base redetermination made pursuant to Section 7(b) of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Permitted Transfers, defeasance in accordance with Section 2.10 and Property Substitutions in accordance with Section 2.14 are not prepayments.
