Required prepayments under this Section 2.4(a) shall be made within one (1) Business Day after receipt of the proceeds by the Guarantor, provided that the Borrower shall cause the Guarantor to instruct the securities intermediary that is in possession of the securities account in which the sold securities are held to pay such proceeds directly to the Lender in immediately available funds immediately upon receipt.

          (i)          First, to the payment of any fees, expenses or reimbursements then owing to the Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,

          (ii)          Second, to the payment of all accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan, and

          (iii)          Third, to repay the principal amount outstanding under the Loan.

Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall not permanently reduce the Commitment unless expressly requested in writing by the Borrower in connection with such prepayment.
