Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or the Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of any Term Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a ‘Term Note’) to evidence such Lender’s Term Loans.

The aggregate amount payable to any Term Loan Lender on any date set forth in this Section 2.01(d) shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14

 

(e) The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice, substantially in the form of a Loan Notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 9:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on the Second Amendment Effective Date) requesting that the Lenders make the Term Loans in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments on the Second Amendment Effective Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment in immediately available funds by wiring such amount to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify. On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Administrative Agent may, in the absence of notification from any Lender that such Lender will not make its pro rata share available to the Administrative Agent on such date, credit the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Administrative Agent (or credit such other account as the Borrowers shall instruct the Administrative Agent in writing) in an amount equal to the aggregate Term Loan Commitments. 

 

(f) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Term Loan Commitment of any other Lender hereunder, nor will the failure of any Lender to comply with the terms of this Agreement relieve any other Lender or the Borrowers of their obligations under this Agreement.

 

 (g) Borrower shall use all of the proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Second Amendment Effective Date to repay in full the then outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on (i) the Term Loans made by certain of the Lenders on the Closing Date and the Optional Loans made by City National Bank after the Closing Date.”

 

6. Mandatory Prepayments from Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and supplemented by (i) amending and restating subsection (f) thereof and adding a new subsection (g) therein as follows (deleted text from former subsection (f) is indicated by strikethrough formatting; added text to former subsection (f) is indicated in bold, italicized and underscored type): 

 

“(f) The Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in an amount equal to 25% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, provided that any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.06 that is applied to the principal amount of the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity shall be credited toward, and shall reduce dollar-for dollar, the amount of the Borrowers’ required mandatory principal payments pursuant to this Section 2.07(f). Each mandatory prepayment amount hereunder shall be payable within five (5) days after the Borrowers’ delivery to the Administrative Agent of the audited financial statements referred to in and required by Section 6.01(b) for such fiscal year but in any event not later than one hundred twenty-five (125) days after the end of each such fiscal year.  

 

(f) (g) Each prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.07(a) through (e) (f) shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of Term Loans. Any prepayment proceeds remaining after application of such prepayment in accordance with the terms hereof shall, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, be returned to the Borrowers. Each prepayment under this Section 2.07 shall be accompanied by payment in full of all accrued interest to and including the date of such prepayment. Each Except as set forth in Section 2.07(f) in the case of voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans that are credited toward the Borrowers’ obligation to make principal payments on the Term Loans from Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (which voluntary payments shall be applied to repay the principal amount of the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity), each prepayment of Term Loans under this Section 2.07 shall be applied to the remaining Term Reduction Installments including the final installment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date on a pro rata basis, and no such amounts shall be available for reborrowing.
