The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments, subject to certain exceptions, of the Incremental Term-1 Loan with: (i) 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Third Amendment) of any issuance or other incurrence of indebtedness not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement and (ii) 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of assets pursuant to the general asset sale and sale leaseback transactions baskets in the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds. The Company is required to repay the Incremental Term-1 Loan in quarterly principal installments of $1,875,000 beginning on March 31, 2018. The Incremental Term-1 Loan will mature on February 10, 2020.
