Section 2.6 Optional Prepayments and Application of Prepayments.
(a) Optional Prepayment of Loans. Subject to Section 2.6(b), the principal amount of any Base Rate Option Loan may be prepaid in full or in part at any time, without penalty or premium and without regard to the Payment Date for such Loan, upon not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of such prepayment. Subject to Section 2.6(b) and Section 2.11, Eurodollar Option Loans may be prepaid prior to the due date thereof, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Partial prepayments shall be in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $500,000. A notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable.
(b) Application of Prepayment. Each prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied (i) first, in direct order of maturities, to the next four scheduled principal repayment installments of the Term Facility and (ii) second, to the other principal repayment installments of the Term Facility on a pro rata basis. Any prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied (A) first, to prepayment of the Letter of Credit Loans then outstanding until such Loans are paid in full, (B) second, to prepayment of Revolving Loans then outstanding until such Loans are paid in full and (C) third, to be deposited in the L/C Collateral Account to cash collateralize the aggregate Available Amount of the Revolving Letters of Credit then outstanding. Any prepayment of the Term Facility may not be reborrowed. Any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not reduce the Revolving Commitment. The prepayment of any principal amount of Loans shall be made with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid and EnergySolutions shall reimburse the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on demand, for any loss or out-of-pocket expense incurred by any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent in connection with such prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof. Any prepayment under this Agreement shall not affect EnergySolutions’ obligation to continue
-44-
the aggregate Available Amount of all Revolving Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and (iii) the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed Disbursements in respect of Synthetic Letters of Credit, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender Party.
(e) Subject to any contrary provisions in the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is specified to be made on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Option Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from EnergySolutions prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that EnergySolutions will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that EnergySolutions has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent EnergySolutions shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
Section 2.11 Reimbursement.
(a) Whenever any Lender shall sustain or incur any losses or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with
(i) failure by EnergySolutions to borrow any Eurodollar Option Loan after having given notice of its intention to borrow in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (whether by reason of EnergySolutions’ election not to proceed or
the non-fulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in Article 3), or (ii) payment of any Eurodollar Option Loan in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii), 2.6, 2.8 10.2 or 10.2
11.25, acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or for any other reason, EnergySolutions agrees to pay to such Lender, upon demand, an amount sufficient to compensate such Lender for all
such losses and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Such Lender’s good faith determination of the amount of such losses or out-of-pocket expenses, as set forth in writing pursuant to Section 2.11(b) hereof, and accompanied by
calculations in reasonable detail demonstrating the basis for its demand, shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error.
(b) Losses subject to reimbursement hereunder shall be (i) any loss incurred by any Lender in connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid, repaid, not borrowed, or paid, as the case may be, and the amount of such loss shall be the excess, if any, of (1) the interest or other cost to such Lender of the deposit or other source of funding used to make any such Eurodollar Option Loan (but specifically excluding any Applicable Margin) for the remainder of its Interest Period, over (2) the interest earned (or to be earned) by such Lender upon the re-lending or other redeployment of the amount of such Eurodollar Option Loan for the remainder of its putative Interest Period or (ii) any other expenses
-49-
amount that is less than the aggregate amount of the Synthetic Letter of Credit Outstandings.
(iii) Concurrently with the effectiveness of any assignment by any Synthetic Lender of all or any portion of its Synthetic Deposit, the corresponding portion of the assignor’s Synthetic Deposit Sub-Account shall be transferred from the assignor’s Synthetic Deposit Sub-Account to the assignee’s Synthetic Deposit Sub-Account in accordance with Section 11.5 and, if required by Section 11.5, the Administrative Agent shall close such assignor’s Synthetic Deposit Sub-Account.
(iv) Upon the reduction of the Synthetic Facility Available Amount and the Synthetic Letter of Credit Outstandings to zero, all amounts remaining in the Synthetic Deposit Account shall be returned to the Synthetic Lenders based on such Synthetic Lender’s Synthetic Deposit Percentage.
(d) Each of the Issuing Bank and each Synthetic Lender
hereby acknowledges and agrees that theThe Administrative Agent has agreed to invest the Synthetic Deposits as determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent so as to earn a return (except during periods when such
Synthetic Deposits are used to cover unreimbursed Disbursements) equal to the Base Return for the relevant Investment Period less an amount equal to 0.15% per annum on such Synthetic Deposits. Onshall invest, or cause to be invested, the
Synthetic Deposit of each Synthetic Lender so as to earn for the account of such Synthetic Lender a return thereon (the “Synthetic Deposit Return”) for each day at a rate per annum equal to (i) the one month LIBOR rate as determined
by the Administrative Agent on such day (or if such day was not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such day) based on rates for deposits in dollars (as set forth by Bloomberg L.P.-page BTMM or any other comparable publicly
available service as may be selected by the Administrative Agent) (the “Benchmark LIBO Rate”) minus (ii) 0.15% per annum (based on a 365/366 day year). The Benchmark LIBO Rate will be reset monthly. The Synthetic Deposit Return
accrued through and including the last day of each Interest Period shall be payable by the Administrative Agent to each Synthetic Lender on each day on which Participation Fees are required to be paid with respect to all or any portion of the
Synthetic Deposits pursuant to Section 2.5(d)(ii) and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Synthetic Lender (an amount (the “Synthetic Deposit Return”) equal to the Base
Return for the relevant Investment Period less an amount equal to 0.15% per annum on such Synthetic Deposits multiplied by (ii) such Synthetic on such Lender’s Synthetic Deposit Percentage Deposits. Any
amounts earned and received with respect to Synthetic Deposits during any applicable Investment Period in excess of the BaseSynthetic Deposit Return shall be for the account of the Administrative Agent. No
Person other than the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation under or in respect of this clause.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, EnergySolutions shall not be liable for any losses due to (i) the misappropriation of any BaseSynthetic Deposit Return or Synthetic Deposit or (ii) the failure of the Administrative
Agent to pay the Synthetic Deposit Return to any Synthetic Lender (it being understood and agreed for greater certainty that this clause shall not limit any obligation of EnergySolutions hereunder to pay any Participation Fee). Neither the
Administrative Agent, the Synthetic Issuing Bank, any Loan Party nor any other Person guarantees any rate of return on the investment of any Synthetic Deposit held in the Synthetic Deposit Account.

(f) If the Synthetic Issuing Bank is enjoined from taking any action referred to in clause (c) of this Section 2.16, or if the Synthetic Issuing Bank reasonably determines that, by operation of law, it may reasonably be precluded from taking any such action, or if any Loan Party or Synthetic Lender challenges in any legal proceeding any of the acknowledgements, agreements or characterizations set forth in any of clause (a) of this Section 2.16, then, in any such case (and so long as such event or condition shall be continuing), and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Synthetic Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, renew or extend any Synthetic Letter of Credit.
(g) In the event any payment of a Synthetic Reimbursement Obligation shall be required to be refunded by the Synthetic Issuing Bank to EnergySolutions after the return of the Synthetic Deposits to the Synthetic Lenders as permitted hereunder, each Synthetic Lender agrees to acquire and fund a participation in such refunded amount equal to the lesser of its Synthetic Deposit Percentage hereof and the amount of its Synthetic Deposit that shall have been so returned.
Section 2.17 Synthetic Letters of Credit.
(a) The Synthetic Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause any Affiliate that is a commercial bank to issue on its behalf) standby letters of credit (each a “Synthetic Letter of Credit”) in Dollars or any Available Foreign Currency for the account of EnergySolutions or any of its Subsidiaries from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Synthetic Facility Availability Date until 5 days before the Synthetic Letter of Credit Maturity Date; provided that the Synthetic Issuing Bank shall not be permitted or required to issue any Synthetic Letter of Credit or increase the Available Amount of any existing Synthetic Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate amount of all Synthetic Letter of Credit Outstandings would exceed the Synthetic Facility Available Amount or (ii) the aggregate amount of all Synthetic Letter of Credit Outstandings would exceed the amount on deposit in the Synthetic Deposit Account. No Synthetic Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the earlier of (i) one year after the date of issuance thereof, or (ii) five (5) days before the Synthetic Letter of Credit Maturity Date, but may by its terms be renewable annually upon written notice (a “Synthetic Notice of Renewal”) given to the Synthetic Issuing Bank that issued such Synthetic Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent on or prior to any date for notice of renewal set forth in such Synthetic Letter of Credit but in any event at least 10 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed renewal of such Synthetic Letter of Credit and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 unless the Synthetic Issuing Bank has notified EnergySolutions (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date for notice of termination set forth in such Synthetic Letter of Credit but in any event at least 5 Business Days prior to the date of automatic renewal of its election not to renew such Synthetic Letter of Credit (a “Synthetic Notice of Termination”); provided that the terms of each Synthetic Letter of Credit that is automatically renewable annually shall (x) require the Synthetic Issuing Bank that issued such Synthetic Letter of Credit to give the beneficiary named in such Synthetic Letter of Credit notice of any Synthetic Notice of Termination, (y) permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such notice, to draw under such Synthetic Letter of Credit prior to the date such Synthetic Letter of Credit otherwise would have been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration date (after giving effect to any renewal) of such Synthetic Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later than 5 days before the Term Loan Maturity Date. If either a Synthetic Notice of Renewal is not given by EnergySolutions or a Synthetic Notice of Termination is given by the Synthetic Issuing Bank pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such Synthetic Letter of Credit shall expire on the date on which it otherwise would have been automatically
-58-
renewed. Within the limits of the Synthetic Facility Available Amount, and subject to the limits referred to above, EnergySolutions may request the issuance of Synthetic Letters of Credit under this Section 2.17(a) and request the issuance of additional Synthetic Letters of Credit under this Section 2.17(a).
(b) Schedule 2.17(b) contains a description of certain letters of credit issued for the account of EnergySolutions and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries and outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date. Each such letter of credit, including any extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Synthetic Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement issued on the Second Amendment Effective Date. In addition, on (i) any date after the Second Amendment Effective Date on which any financial institution or other Person becomes a Lender hereunder, with the consent of EnergySolutions, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, any letters of credit issued by such Lender for the account of EnergySolutions and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries may be designated as Existing Letters of Credit (ii) the date of deposit of Synthetic Deposits into the Synthetic Account pursuant to Section 2.16(b)(i), any Revolving Letters of Credit (such letters of credit, the “Rollover Letters of Credit”) may be designated by EnergySolutions as Existing Letters of Credit and, in each case, if any such letters of credit are so designated, Schedule 2.17(b) shall be deemed amended to include same and same shall constitute “Synthetic Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement, issued on the date of such designation. Any Lender hereunder to the extent it has issued a Rollover Letter of Credit or an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a “Synthetic Issuing Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement.
(c) Participations. Upon the issuance of each Synthetic Letter of Credit or an increase in the Available Amount thereof, and without further action, each Synthetic Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased, to the extent of its Synthetic Deposit Percentage, a participation interest in such Synthetic Letter of Credit, including any contingent liability or Synthetic Reimbursement Obligation created as a result of any issuance thereof or Disbursement with respect thereto (each, a “Synthetic Letter of Credit Participation Obligation”). Each Synthetic Lender’s Synthetic Letter of Credit Participation Obligation shall be cash collateralized (as provided in Section 2.16), in favor of the Synthetic Issuing Bank, by such Synthetic Lender’s Synthetic Deposit. Such Synthetic Lender’s Synthetic Deposit shall be available for withdrawal by the Administrative Agent, in the amounts contemplated by and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.16(c)(i), to reimburse the Synthetic Issuing Bank for Synthetic Reimbursement Obligations.
(d) Reimbursement. If any draft is paid under a Synthetic Letter of Credit (each such payment, a “Disbursement”), EnergySolutions shall reimburse the Synthetic Issuing Lender by payment to the Administrative Agent for the amount of (a) the Dollar Equivalent of the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Synthetic Issuing Lender (including, with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, costs relating to foreign currency fluctuations, such that the total repayment by EnergySolutions shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, be equal to the amount of the Disbursement) in connection with such payment, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day on which EnergySolutions receives notice of such draft. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If EnergySolutions fails to reimburse the Synthetic Issuing Lender at the time and place and in the manner described above in this Section 2.17(d), the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Synthetic Issuing Lender, shall withdraw from the Synthetic Deposit Account an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such unreimbursed payment. Interest shall be payable on
-59-
any such amountsamount, and such amount shall constitute a Loan hereunder, from the date the relevant draft is paid until payment in
full at the Eurodollar Basis (with a Eurodollar Period of one month). Drawings under a Synthetic Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be reimbursed to the extent funds on deposit in the Synthetic Deposit Account are withdrawn and applied thereto in
accordance with Section 2.16(c)(i). The obligation (a “Synthetic Reimbursement Obligation”) of EnergySolutions under this Section 2.17(d) to reimburse, without duplication, the Synthetic Issuing Lender with
respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon) and the right of the Synthetic Issuing Lender to be paid with amounts on deposit in the Synthetic Deposit Account pursuant to Section 2.16(d)(i), shall be unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:
(B) any lack of validity or enforceability of any L/C Related Documents;

(D) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that EnergySolutions may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Synthetic Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Synthetic Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(E) any statement or any other document presented under a Synthetic Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(F) payment by the Synthetic Issuing Bank under a Synthetic Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft, certificate or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Synthetic Letter of Credit;
(G) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of EnergySolutions in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or
(H) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, EnergySolutions or any Guarantor.

In connection with each assignment of Synthetic Deposits, the Synthetic Deposit of the assignor Lender shall not be released, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee and continue to be held for application (to the extent not already applied) in accordance with Article II to satisfy such assignee’s obligations in respect of Synthetic Deposit Letters of Credit. Each Synthetic Lender agrees that immediately prior to each assignment by a Synthetic Lender (i) the Administrative Agent shall establish a new Synthetic Deposit Sub-Account in the name of the assignee, (ii) unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent, a corresponding portion of the Synthetic Deposit credited to the Synthetic Deposit Sub-Account of the assignor Lender shall be purchased by the assignee and shall be transferred from the assignor’s Synthetic Deposit Sub-Account to the assignee’s Synthetic Deposit Sub-Account and (iii) if after giving effect to such assignment the Synthetic Deposit of the assignor Lender shall be zero, the Administrative Agent shall close the Synthetic Deposit Sub-Account of such assignor Lender.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.5, any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans may (without the consent of EnergySolutions or the Administrative Agent)
pledge all or a portion of its rights in connection with this Agreement to the trustee or any holder of obligations or agents therefor owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that
such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender Party under the Loan Documents, even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
No pledge described in the immediately preceding sentence shall release any such Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(e) The Revolving Issuing Bank may assign to an assignee all of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Revolving Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be made in accordance with clause (A) of the second proviso in Section 11.5(b) and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

(g) The provisions of this Section 11.5 shall not apply to any purchase of participations among the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender Party (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and EnergySolutions (a “Conduit Lender”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any Conduit Lender to fund any Loan, and (ii) if a Conduit Lender elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by a Conduit Lender hereunder shall utilize the
