In the event that the Company fails to comply with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio contained in Section 11.13.2 with respect to any particular Computation Period (each, a “Fixed Charge Ratio Default”) and the EBITDA of Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix for such Computation Period is negative (it being agreed by the parties hereto that for purposes of such
determination each component of EBITDA shall be calculated on a stand-alone basis for Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document) (the negative EBITDA of Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix with respect to any Computation Period, the “Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix Negative EBITDA Amount”), the Company shall have the right to cure such Event of Default so long as the following terms and conditions are satisfied (the “Cure Right”):
A. The Cure Right shall only be available to the Company to cure a particular Fixed Charge Ratio Default to the extent such Fixed Charge Ratio Default would be cured by adding to EBITDA for the particular Computation Period an amount not exceeding the Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix Negative EBITDA Amount.
B. In the event the Company desires to cure a particular Fixed Charged Ratio Default, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of the Company’s intent to cure (a “Cure Notice”) no later than fifteen (15) days after the date on which financial statements and a Compliance Certificate as of and for the period ending on the last day of the particular Computation Period are required to be delivered; provided, however, the Cure Right may not be exercised after June 30, 2012.
C. The Cure Notice shall set forth the calculation of the Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix Negative EBITDA Amount and the related Fixed Charge Cure Amount referenced below.
D. In the event the Company delivers a Cure Notice, an unsecured subordinated loan satisfying the requirements for “Subordinated Debt” under the Credit Agreement shall be made to Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix and the amount of such subordinated loan shall not be less than the Fixed Charge Cure Amount referenced below, provided that such subordinated loan shall be made no later than three (3) days after receipt by Administrative Agent of the Cure Notice (the “Required Subordinated Loan Date”). The “Fixed Charge Cure Amount” shall equal an amount which, when added to EBITDA for the particular Computation Period as provided in the definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, would result in the Company being in pro forma compliance with such covenant for the particular Computation Period, provided that such amount shall in no event exceed the Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix Negative EBITDA Amount with respect to such Computation Period. The Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix Negative EBITDA Amount with respect to any particular Computation Period shall be reduced by any Fixed Charge Cure Amounts previously paid with respect to any period included in such Computation Period.
E. The terms and conditions of any Subordinated Debt loaned to Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix pursuant to this Cure Right shall be satisfactory to Administrative Agent in all respects. Prior to the funding of any Fixed Charge Cure Amount, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent complete copies of the final instruments, agreements and documents in respect of the
applicable Subordinated Debt and each lender of such Subordinated Debt (along with each Loan Party) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Subordination Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
F. From the delivery date of a Cure Notice until the earlier to occur of the Required Subordinated Loan Date and the date on which Administrative Agent is notified that the required subordinated loan will not be made (it being agreed that failure to pay the required subordinated loan shall constitute a separate and distinct Event of Default hereunder), the Event of Default in respect of which the Cure Notice was delivered shall not be deemed to exist for purposes of (and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise rights in respect thereof) the imposition of default interest or default Letter of Credit fees, acceleration of the Obligations, termination of the Commitments or the exercise of any enforcement remedy against any Loan Party or any property of a Loan Party; provided (x) nothing herein shall prevent or limit Administrative Agent from exercising any of its rights under any Subordination Agreement so long as such Event of Default exists and (y) until timely receipt of the Fixed Charge Cure Amount, an Event of Default shall be deemed to exist for all other purposes of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 12.2 of the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.
G. Upon timely receipt by Xxxxxxxx EcoLogix in cash of the Fixed Charge Cure Amount, the applicable Fixed Charge Ratio Default shall be deemed cured.
H. To the extent a Fixed Charge Cure Amount is included in the calculation of EBITDA as provided herein, such amount shall be deemed added to EBITDA with respect to the applicable quarterly periods in the particular Computation Period and the EBITDA for such quarterly periods shall be deemed permanently increased by such amount for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for subsequent periods.
Section 4. Revolving Loan Note and Term Loan Note. It is hereby agreed and understood that the Revolving Loan Note and the Term Loan Note remain in full force and effect and that the Obligations evidenced thereby remain due and payable on the terms set forth therein and in the Credit Agreement, except that the face amount of the Revolving Loan Note shall be reduced from $13,500,000 to $12,000,000 on January 1, 2012 so long as the Revolving Outstandings are below $12,000,000 on such date. The Revolving Loan Note shall be deemed amended to reflect such reduction.
Section 5. Amendment of the Loan Documents. It is hereby agreed and understood by the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Company that, subject to the complete fulfillment and performance of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 of this Amendment and effective as of the effective date of this Amendment, each reference to the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Loan, the Term Loan, the Revolving Loan Note, the Term Loan Note, and/or any other defined terms or any Loan Documents in any Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to any such defined terms or such agreements as such terms or agreements are
amended or modified by this Amendment. Any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Amendment shall be deemed to be an Event of Default for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.
