"Applicable Margin" means, as of any date of determination, with respect to any (a) Term Loan, seven percent (7.00%) per annum, and (b) Revolver Loan, the applicable margin set forth in the following table that corresponds to the Average Excess Revolver Availability of Borrowers for the most recently completed month (to be re-determined as of the first day of each month) and either Consolidated EBITDA (prior to the Covenant Toggle Date) or, Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (from and after the Covenant Toggle Date), of Borrowers for the most recently completed Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements and a certified calculation of Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable, and Section 6.02(a) (to be re-determined as of the first day of each month, commencing with September 1, 2023, following the month in which such financial statements and Compliance Certificate are delivered):
Level | Average Excess Revolver Availability, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio | Applicable Margin for Revolver Loans not predicated on the Surety Bond Accounts Formula Amount | Applicable Margin for Revolver Loans predicated on the Surety Bond Accounts Formula Amount |
I | Average Excess Revolver Availability of ≥ $35,000,000 and Consolidated EBITDA (prior to the Covenant Toggle Date) of ≥ the Applicable Level I EBITDA Threshold, and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (from | 4.75 percentage points | 5.25 percentage points |
2
and after the Covenant Toggle Date) of ≥ 1.20:1.00 (collectively, the "Level I Requirements") | |||
II | Average Excess Revolver Availability of ≥ $20,000,000, and Consolidated EBITDA (prior to the Covenant Toggle Date) of ≥ the Applicable Level II/III EBITDA Threshold and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (from and after the Covenant Toggle Date) of ≥ 1.00:1.00, and the Level I Requirements are not met | 5.00 percentage points | 5.50 percentage points |

Average Excess Revolver Availability shall be calculated by Administrative Agent based on the Borrowing Base Reports delivered by Administrative Borrower during the preceding Fiscal Month, and the Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be reported by the Borrowers in each Compliance Certificate delivered for a Fiscal Quarter end in accordance with Section 6.02(a); provided, however, that solely for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be based on a Semi-Annual Test Period. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in Average Excess Revolver Availability and/or the Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as applicable, shall become effective as of the first calendar day of each Fiscal Month; provided, that if the Borrowing Base Reports (including any required financial information in support thereof), annual or quarterly financial statements or Compliance Certificates are not delivered when due, then Level III shall apply until such time as such Borrowing Base Reports and supporting information, financial statements and Compliance Certificates, as applicable, are delivered. In the event that the information regarding the Consolidated EBITDA or the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio contained in any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an "Applicable Period") than the Applicable Margin actually applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Borrowers shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent a correct Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the correct Applicable Margin (as set forth in the table above) were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (iii) Borrowers shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent full payment in respect of the accrued additional interest as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by Administrative Agent to the affected Obligations. Any adjustment in the Applicable Margin shall be applicable to all Revolver Loans then existing or subsequently made during the applicable period for which the relevant Applicable Margin applies.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this definition, if the 2024 Liquidity Transactions do not occur on or prior to September 30, 2024, then the Applicable Margin shall be increased by 0.50 percentage points on each of (x) October 1, 2024 and (y) the first day of every 7 day period after October 1, 2024, until the 2024 Liquidity Transactions have occurred, at which time any increases in the Applicable Margin that have occurred as a result of such missed deadline shall cease to be effective; provided, that the Applicable Margin shall not be increased by more than 2.00 percentage points in the
4
aggregate at any time as a result of this sentence. Additionally, if the 2024 Liquidity Transactions do not occur on or prior to September 30, 2024, then Level III shall apply as of the end of such deadline until the 2024 Liquidity Transactions occur.
"Capital Expenditures" means, with respect to any Person, all expenditures (whether paid in cash or other consideration or accrued as a liability and including that portion of Capital Leases that is capitalized on the balance sheet of such Person including in connection with a sale leaseback transaction) by such Person for the acquisition or leasing of fixed or capital assets or additions to equipment (including replacements, capitalized repairs and improvements during such period) that are required to be capitalized under GAAP on a balance sheet of such Person. For purposes of this definition, but without duplication: (a) the amount of any Capital Expenditure in connection with the purchase of any of equipment that is purchased simultaneously with the trade-in of existing equipment owned by such Person thereof or with insurance proceeds shall be the result of (i) the gross amount of the purchase price, minus (ii) the credit granted by the seller of such equipment for such equipment being traded in at such time, or the amount of such proceeds, as the case may be; (b) Capital Expenditures shall be offset (but not to an amount less than zero) by the amount of sale proceeds (excluding gains) from the Disposition of fixed or capital assets or additions to equipment (other than any such proceeds of the Specified Sale Leaseback Transactions or any other Specified Asset Disposition) that are not otherwise treated as a credit pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) or attributable to an exclusion from Capital Expenditures pursuant to the following clause (c), and (c) the following shall not constitute "Capital Expenditures": (i) an acquisition to the extent made with the proceeds of a Disposition in accordance with Section 7.05(c), (ii) expenditures to the extent that they are made to effect leasehold improvements to any property leased by such Person as lessee, to the extent that such expenses have been reimbursed in cash by the landlord that is not a Loan Party or a Subsidiary thereof, (iii) expenditures to the extent that they are actually paid for by a third party (excluding any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof) and for which no Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof has provided or is required to provide or incur, directly or indirectly, any consideration or monetary obligation to such third party or any other person (whether before, during or after such period), (iv) [reserved], and (v) expenditures financed with the proceeds of capital contributions to, or issuances of qualified Equity Interests by, Xxxxx that are received by Xxxxx substantially contemporaneously with the making of such expenditure.
"Covenant Toggle Date" means the date on which the Compliance Certificate for the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2025 shall have been delivered in accordance with Section 6.02(a).
"Eligible Surety Bond Accounts" means Accounts that would constitute Eligible Accounts but for the fact that they are subject to priority subrogation rights in favor of surety bond providers (and such rights have not been exercised by a surety bond provider and no surety bond provider has undertaken performance, and there is no project default, with respect to any project associated with any such Account); provided, that if either (a) the amount of collections with respect to all Accounts created by the Borrowers for the previous twenty-eight day period divided by four (4) does not exceed, solely with respect to determinations of the Revolver Borrowing Base made between the Third Amendment Effective Date and July 26, 2024), $8,000,000, and at all other times, $10,000,000, then no Accounts shall constitute Eligible Surety Bond Accounts or (b) the 2024 Liquidity Transactions do not occur on or prior to September 30, 2024, then Accounts constituting Eligible Surety Bond Accounts shall be phased out of the Revolver Borrowing Base, and
5
shall no longer constitute Eligible Surety Bond Accounts, pursuant to a schedule determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include a reduction of Eligible Surety Bond Accounts to zero at any time from and after October 1, 2024).
