Available Cash (as defined in the Exit Revolving Credit Agreement) in excess of $125 million is also required to be applied periodically to prepay loans (without a commitment reduction). The loans under the Exit RCF may be voluntarily prepaid and the commitments thereunder voluntarily terminated or reduced by the Borrower at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs.
