Exhibit 10.1
SECOND AMENDMENT AND WAIVER, dated as of May 30, 2008 (the “Amendment”), to the CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of as of June 12, 2007 (as amended and waived prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), among CITADEL BROADCASTING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the several lenders from time to time parties hereto (the “Lenders”), the Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents party thereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have extended credit to the Company on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the First Amendment, the Required Lenders have approved the prepayment of Term Loans under a Voluntary Prepayment Transaction (as defined in the First Amendment), and the Company has subsequently made Voluntary Prepayments under the First Amendment on three occasions;
WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Lenders approve further prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to a Second Voluntary Prepayment Transaction (as defined below);
WHEREAS, the Lenders have consented to amend and waive the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein in order to permit a Second Voluntary Prepayment Transaction;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. DEFINITIONS.
1.1 Defined Terms. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires.
Section 2. AMENDMENTS.
2.1 Amendment of Subsection 1.1 (Definitions). (a) Subsection 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following term in proper alphabetical order:
“Second Amendment”: the Second Amendment and Waiver dated as of May 30, 2008 to this Agreement.
(b) Subsection 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by:
(i) inserting “or Section 3.1(c) of the Second Amendment” after “First Amendment” in the last line of the definition of “Prepayment Discount”, and
(ii) deleting the following term in its entirety and replacing it with:
“Voluntary Prepayment”: the collective reference to a Voluntary Prepayment (as defined in the First Amendment) and a Second Voluntary Prepayment (as defined in the Second Amendment).
Section 3. SECOND VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT TRANSACTION.
3.1 Voluntary Prepayment. (a) The Company has notified the Lenders that it may wish to make further voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans (each, a “Second Voluntary Prepayment”) during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on December 31st , 2008 (the “Prepayment Period”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 3.1 (the transactions described in this Section 3.1, collectively, the “Second Voluntary Prepayment Transaction”). In connection with any Second Voluntary Prepayment, the Company will notify the Lenders of Term Loans (the “Prepayment Notice”) that the Company desires to prepay Term Loans with proceeds in an aggregate amount specified by the Company (which amount shall be not less than $10,000,000 in each of the Second Voluntary Prepayments (or such lesser amount as remains in the case of the last Second Voluntary Prepayment under clause (i) in the proviso hereof)) (each, a “Prepayment Amount”) at a discount (which is expected to be within a range to be specified by the Company with respect to each Second Voluntary Prepayment; the “Discount”) equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of Term Loans; provided that (i) the aggregate Prepayment Amounts for all Second Voluntary Prepayments undertaken by the Company during the Prepayment Period shall not exceed $200,000,000 less the aggregate Prepayment Amount for all Voluntary Prepayments made under the First Amendment and (ii) no proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans shall be used to finance a Second Voluntary Prepayment.
(b) In connection with a Second Voluntary Prepayment, the Company will allow each Lender of Term Loans to specify a discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) for a principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans at which such Lender is willing to permit such Second Voluntary Prepayment. Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of Term Loans specified by Lenders, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company, will determine the applicable discount (the “Applicable Discount”) for the Second Voluntary Prepayment which will be the lower of (i) the lowest Acceptable Discount at which the Company can complete the Second Voluntary Prepayment for the Prepayment Amount and (ii) the highest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the range for the Discount specified by the Company. The Company shall prepay Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by Lenders at the Acceptable Discounts specified by each such Lender that are equal to or less than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Term Loans”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay Qualifying Term Loans (disregarding any interest payable under Section 3.1(c)) would exceed the Prepayment Amount for such Second Voluntary Prepayment, the Company shall prepay such Qualifying Term Loans at the Applicable Discount ratably based on the respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Term Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent).
(c) All Term Loans prepaid by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be accompanied by payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid to, but not including, the date of prepayment.
(d) The par principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments of the respective Term Loans in indirect order of maturity.
(e) Each Second Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to timing, rounding and minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods of accepted Loans, irrevocability of Prepayment Notice and other notices by the Company and Lenders and determination of Applicable Discount) established by the Administrative Agent acting in its sole discretion.
2
(f) The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions described in this Section 3.1 and waive the requirements of any provision of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 8.5, 8.18 and 16.7) that might otherwise result in a Default or Event of Default as a result of the Second Voluntary Prepayment Transaction. The Lenders further acknowledge that following a Second Voluntary Prepayment, principal, interest and any related payments in respect of the applicable Term Loans may be made on a non-pro rata basis among the applicable Lenders to reflect subsequent amortization of the then outstanding Term Loans.
(g) This Amendment shall neither (i) require the Company to undertake any Second Voluntary Prepayment during the Prepayment Period nor (ii) limit or restrict the Company from making voluntary prepayments of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below).
Section 4. MISCELLANEOUS.
