With respect to First Priority Term Lenders accepting such Offer, on the Mandatory Prepayment Date, the First Priority Agent shall

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.17(b) or 2.20, with respect to the Prepayment Amount, the Borrower will, on the date specified in Section 2.17 for such prepayment or no later than five (5) Business Days after the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Date with respect to any amount not accepted by the First Priority Term Lenders and to be applied to the prepayment of the Second Priority Term Loans in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, give the Administrative Agents telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Second Priority Agent prepare and provide to each Second Priority Lender a Prepayment Option Notice. As described above, the Second Priority Agent will send to each Second Priority Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall include an Offer by the Borrower to prepay on the Mandatory Prepayment Date the relevant Second Priority Term Loans of such Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Prepayment Amount indicated in such Lender’s Prepayment Option Notice. Each Second Priority Term Lender may accept or reject the Offer contained in the Prepayment Option Notice. Unless the Offer is affirmatively accepted by a Second Priority Term Lender as set forth below, the Offer shall be deemed rejected by such Second Priority Term Lender. With respect to Second Priority Term Lenders accepting such Offer, on the Mandatory Prepayment Date, the First Priority Agent shall pay to the relevant Second Priority Lenders the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Second Priority Term Loans in respect of which such Lenders have accepted prepayment. Any Second Priority Term Lenders accepting such offer must, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Prepayment Option Notice, give the Administrative Agents, telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) of such acceptance and the Second Priority Agent will give the Borrower telephonic notice of the same (promptly confirmed in writing), and the amount equal to the portion of the Prepayment Amount for which no notification of acceptance of the Offer was received will be used to repay any outstanding Revolving Loans, provided that such repayments of the Revolving Loans shall not reduce the Total Revolving Commitments.”.
