WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the several financial institutions from time to time party thereto as Lenders, and the Agents are parties to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of May 15, 2023 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Loan Agreement");
WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Agents and the Lenders amend the Loan Agreement in certain respects, and Agents and the Lenders are willing to do so on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
"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 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 $10,000,000, then no Accounts shall constitute Eligible Surety Bond Accounts.
"Q2 2024 Accommodation Period" means the period of time from the Third Amendment Effective Date through, and including, June 30, 2024.
"Surety Bond Accounts Formula Amount" means 90% of the Value of Eligible Surety Bond Accounts.
"Third Amendment Effective Date" means April 24, 2024.
"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 and after the Covenant Toggle Date) of ≥ 1.20:1.00 (collectively, the "Level I Requirements") | 4.75 percentage points | 5.25 percentage points |
II | Average Excess Revolver Availability of ≥ $20,000,000, and Consolidated EBITDA (prior to the Covenant Toggle Date) of ≥ the | 5.00 percentage points | 5.50 percentage points |
2
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 | |||
III | Average Excess Revolver Availability of < $20,000,000, Consolidated EBITDA (prior to the Covenant Toggle Date) of < the Applicable Level II/III EBITDA Threshold, or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (from and after the Covenant Toggle Date) of < 1.00:1.00 | 5.25 percentage points | 5.75 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
