Outstanding loans generally may be repaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty, subject to certain customary limitations. The revolving facility has a term of five years; provided that, if Quiksilver, Inc.'s 6-7/8 percent senior notes due 2015 or any applicable indebtedness incurred to refinance such notes or Boardriders, S.A.'s 8.875 percent senior notes due 2017 or any applicable indebtedness incurred to refinance such notes are not refinanced or redeemed at least 91 days prior to their applicable scheduled maturity date, the revolving facility shall become automatically due and payable 91 days prior to such applicable scheduled maturity date.
