payments shall first be applied in payment of the Term Loan and at any time after Term Loan shall have been repaid in full, such payments shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance
of the Revolving Loans but not as a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided,  however, that as long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, if requested by Borrower in writing to Agent, such prepayments will rather
first be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans but not as a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment and then applied in payment of the Term Loan."
