2.4. Addition of Section 2.16. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following Section 2.16 with the heading “Voluntary Prepayments Below Par” after Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement:
“(a) The Borrower may elect to notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it wishes to make below par voluntary prepayments of the Loans (each such payment a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 2.16; provided that (i) the Borrower may make no more than one Discounted Voluntary Prepayment in any fiscal quarter and (ii) no Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made after December 31, 2013. At the time of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower shall certify, with reasonable supporting detail (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), that (i) no Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.14 could reasonably be expected to occur during the immediately succeeding four calendar quarters if such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment is not made, (ii) such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall have been approved by the Borrower’s Board of Directors and (iii) immediately prior to and after giving effect to any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (y) the aggregate unencumbered cash and Permitted Investments (provided that any such cash and Permitted Investments to the extent subject to a Lien created under the Loan Documents, the Dex West Loan Documents or the RHDI Loan Documents shall be deemed to be unencumbered for purposes of this clause (y)) maintained by the Borrower, Dex West, RHDI and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis shall be at least $40,000,000 and (z) the aggregate unencumbered cash and Permitted Investments (provided that any such cash and Permitted Investments to the extent subject to a Lien created under the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be unencumbered for purposes of this clause (z)) maintained by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be at least $10,000,000.
(b) In connection with any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Lenders (the “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”) that the Borrower
5
desires to prepay Loans with cash proceeds in an aggregate amount (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Amount”) specified by the Borrower (which amount shall be not less than $5,000,000) at a price within a range (the “Range”) to be specified by the Borrower equal to a percentage of par (not to exceed 100%) (the “Payment Percentage”) of the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid; provided that only one Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice may be in effect at any time. The Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice shall further specify 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 Voluntary Prepayment Notice (the “Acceptance Date”). No proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made if the amount of cash expended to make Discounted Voluntary Prepayments in any fiscal year would exceed an amount equal to (i) Borrower’s Portion of Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal year, minus (ii) the amount of other Designated Excess Cash Expenditures made with the Borrower’s Portion of Excess Cash Flow for such immediately preceding fiscal year; provided that in addition to the foregoing amount, the Borrower may expend in cash an additional aggregate amount of $5,000,000 during the term of this Agreement for Discounted Voluntary Prepayments.
(c) On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each Lender may specify by written notice to the Administrative Agent a minimum Payment Percentage (the “Acceptable Payment Percentage”) within the Range for a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Loans at which such Lender is willing to permit such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment. Based on the Acceptable Payment Percentages and principal amounts of Loans specified by Lenders, the applicable Payment Percentage (the “Applicable Payment Percentage”) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be the lowest Acceptable Payment Percentage at which the Borrower can complete the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment for the applicable Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Amount that is within the applicable Range; provided that if the offers received from Lenders are insufficient to allow the Borrower to complete the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment for the applicable Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Amount, then the Applicable Payment Percentage shall instead be the highest Acceptable Payment Percentage that is within the applicable Range. The Borrower shall prepay Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by Lenders at the Acceptable Payment Percentages specified by each such Lender that are equal to or less than the Applicable Payment Percentage (“Qualifying Loans”) by remitting an amount to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to each respective Lender to be prepaid) equal to the product of the face amount, or par, of the Loan being prepaid multiplied by the Applicable Payment Percentage; provided that if the aggregate cash proceeds required to prepay Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable under Section 2.16(d)) would exceed the applicable Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Amount for such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans at the Applicable Payment Percentage ratably based on the respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent).
(d) All Loans prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid to, but not including, the date of prepayment.
(e) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to rounding and minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods
6
of accepted Loans, irrevocability of Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice and other notices by the Borrower and Lenders and determination of Applicable Payment Percentage) reasonably established by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower and not inconsistent with the terms hereof.
(f) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall constitute an optional prepayment of Loans for all purposes under this Agreement, but excluding for purposes of Section 2.06(d).
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.06 and 2.13), the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions described in this Section 2.16 and further acknowledge that in connection with any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, principal and interest payments may be made on a non-pro rata basis, as determined by the Administrative Agent, to the applicable Lenders.
(h) This Section 2.16 shall not require the Borrower to undertake or any Lender to participate in any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.”
2.5. Amendment to Section 6.01. Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting each instance of “$40,000,000” in clause (vii) in paragraph (a) thereof and substituting in lieu thereof “$30,000,000”.
2.6. Amendment to Section 6.04. Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting clause (o) thereof in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following new clause (o):
“(o) provided (i) no Event of Default is continuing or would result therefrom and (ii) that no portion of the proceeds of any such Investment is used, directly or indirectly, to purchase or repurchase, or finance the purchase or repurchase, of any Restructuring Notes, Additional Notes or any other Indebtedness of any Affiliate (and the terms of any Investment shall not permit any such purchase or repurchase by the Person in which such Investment is made while such Investment is outstanding), Investments in any other Person (other than Foreign Subsidiaries) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000,000 during the term of this Agreement.”
2.7. Amendments to Section 6.08. Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) by deleting clause (iv) in paragraph (a) thereof in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following new clause (iv):
“(iv) provided no Default or Event of Default is continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower (A) may make Restricted Payments to Holdings, and Holdings may, in turn, make such Restricted Payments to the Parent in an aggregate amount per fiscal year not to exceed the Borrower’s Portion of Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal year less the amount of other Designated Excess Cash Expenditures made with such Borrower’s Portion of Excess Cash Flow for such immediately preceding fiscal year; provided that the proceeds of such Restricted Payments are used (x) to effect Specified Investments or (y) to pay interest on Restructuring Notes or Additional Notes (provided, however, that any such dividends or distributions relating to any such cash
7
interest payment must be paid not earlier than ten Business Days prior to the date when such cash interest is required to be paid by the Ultimate Parent and the proceeds must (except to the extent prohibited by applicable subordination provisions) be applied by the Ultimate Parent, to the payment of such interest when due) or (B) may make Restricted Payments to the Parent in an aggregate amount equal to (x) 50% of the Ultimate Parent PIK Election Amount for each Ultimate Parent PIK Election Period completed after the First Amendment Effective Date minus (y) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made after the First Amendment Effective Date pursuant to this clause (B) that have not been returned to the Borrower as capital contributions within ten Business Days from the date such Restricted Payment is made; provided that (i) such Restricted Payments, if made, shall be used by the Ultimate Parent to effect repurchases of Restructuring Notes or Additional Notes at a price equal to or less than 30% of the principal amount of the Restructuring Notes or Additional Notes so repurchased, (ii) any Restricted Payments used to effect such repurchases must be made not earlier than ten Business Days prior to the date when the Ultimate Parent so repurchases the Restructuring Notes, if such repurchase is made and (iii) if such Restricted Payments are not used for such repurchase of Restructuring Notes or Additional Notes, the proceeds therefrom shall be returned to the Borrower as a capital contribution within ten Business Days from the date such Restricted Payment was made,”
