OID and Voluntary Prepayment Questions for Case Study

Thanks in advance for any guidance you could provide.

(1) The case study shows involves a financing with a revolver and term loans. The revolver is show as carrying a 0 balance (undrawn) at closing, and the term loans are shown in the "Sources" at par value, but there is also this note: "Excluding undrawn LCs, cash collateralized LCs & amounts drawn to fund additional OID or upfront fees. Additional amount to fund OID or upfront fees only applicable one quarter after close." 

How should I interpret this with respect to the OID/Financing Fees? Does it mean that the company will draw on the revolver in Q1 after closing an amount equal to the OID/Financing Fees? Normally I'd just capitalize these fees on the pro forma balance sheet at closing and amortize them over time, but considering the language above, I'm confused as to how to classify them on the I/S, B/S, C/F and in what period.

(2) With respect to voluntary prepayments for a junior term loan with a hard call period, is it normal to draw on the revolver to prepay? If yes, would you be applying the hard call premiums to the prepayments? I realize it all depends on the language in the loan docs, but for purposes of this case study, I need to go along with whatever is the most common norm.

Thank you.
