Elective and Mandatory Exchanges Clause Samples

The 'Elective and Mandatory Exchanges' clause defines the circumstances under which parties to an agreement may or must exchange certain items, rights, or obligations. In practice, this clause distinguishes between exchanges that are optional—where a party can choose to initiate the exchange—and those that are compulsory, triggered automatically by specific events or conditions. For example, a contract might allow a party to elect to swap one type of asset for another, while also requiring an automatic exchange if a regulatory change occurs. The core function of this clause is to provide clear rules for when and how exchanges take place, reducing uncertainty and ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations regarding such transactions.

(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided, however, so long as no Event of Default then exists and if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Payment Period is less than or equal to 1.25:1.00 (but greater than 0.75:1.00), the foregoing percentage shall be reduced to 25% for the respective Excess Cash Payment Period; provided further that so long as no Event of Default then exists and is continuing and if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Payment Period is less than or equal to 0.75:1.00, the foregoing percentage shall be reduced to 0% for the respective Excess Cash Payment Period. (f) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date and on or prior to the Merger Closing Date upon which Holdings receives any cash proceeds from the sale or issuance of its Equity Interests, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale or issuance of Equity Interests shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h). (g) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) in accordance with this Section 5.02(g) shall be applied (i) first, if on or prior to the Merger Closing Date, to reduce (on a dollar for dollar basis) the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment, (ii) second, if on or prior to the Merger Closing Date, and if the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment has been terminated, to reduce (on a dollar for dollar basis) the Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment, (iii) third, to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and (iv) fourth, to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (to the extent then outstanding). The amount of each principal repayment of outstanding principal of Term Loans made as required by Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be applied (i) pro rata to the then outstanding Term Loans of the Lenders; provided that any payments required pursuant to Section 5.02(c) and (f) prior to the B-1 Conversion Date shall be required to be applied (x) first, to then outstanding principal of B-2 Term Loans until they are paid in full and (y) second, to the extent in excess thereof, to repay then outstanding principal of B-1 Term Loans, and (ii) to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled Term Loan Repayments after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing priorities, with respect to not more than $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 11.01(i)(B), the Lead Arrangers may (in their sole discretion) at the request of the Borrower allow the utilization of same as contemplated by clause (y) of the proviso to Section 11.01(i) before requiring that such amounts be applied as otherwise required pursuant to the two preceding sentences of this Section 5.02(g). (h) All repayments of the Loans of a given Tranche required by this Section 5.02 shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Lenders of such Tranche of Loans (based upon their respective relative outstanding principal amounts of such Loans). With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which such Eurodollar Loans were made, provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto unless otherwise repaid at or prior to the end of the Interest Period then in effect; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion. (i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) all then outstanding Loans of a respective Tranche (other than Swingline Loans) shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans, (ii) outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (x) the tenth Business Day following the date of the incurrence of such Swingline Loans (unless otherwise agreed by the Swingline Lender) and (y) the Swingline Expiry Date and (iii) all then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the date on which the repayment of the Loans is accelerated pursuant to Section 12. (j) If any RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender is outstanding, the Borrower shall enter into the applicable Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender no later than 10 Business Days after the date such RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender.
