RECITALS
A. The Borrower is party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2008, among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), issuing lender (in such capacity, the “Issuing Lender”), and swing line lender (in such capacity, the “Swing Line Lender”), as heretofore amended (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”).
B. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto wish to (i) acknowledge the existence of certain Events of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (ii) provide a waiver of such Events of Default and (iii) make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, representations and warranties contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Defined Terms; Other Definitional Provisions. As used in this Agreement, each of the terms defined in the opening paragraph and the Recitals above shall have the meanings assigned to such terms therein. Each term defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein without definition shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement, unless expressly provided to the contrary. The words “hereof”, “herein”, and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Paragraph headings have been inserted in this Agreement as a matter of convenience for reference only and it is agreed that such paragraph headings are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
Section 2. Waiver.
(a) The Borrower hereby acknowledges the existence of the Events of Default resulting from the following (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”): (i) Borrower’s failure to comply with the minimum net worth covenant under Section 6.17 of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009, (ii) Borrower’s failure to comply with the minimum fixed charged coverage ratio covenant under Section 6.19 of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009, (iii) Borrower’s possible incorrect representation as to no Defaults under the Notice of Borrowing delivered on or about October 19, 2009 for a Borrowing on such date and (iv) Borrower’s possible failure to provide timely and adequate notice of the Existing Defaults under Section 5.2(g) of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders hereby waive the Existing Defaults. The waiver by the Lenders described in this Section 2(b) is contingent upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 below and is limited to the Existing Defaults. Such waiver shall not be construed to be a consent to or a permanent waiver of the Sections covered by the Existing Defaults or any other terms, provisions, covenants, warranties or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents.
(c) The Lenders expressly reserve the right to exercise any rights and remedies available to them in connection with any present or future defaults with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other provision of any Credit Document other than the Existing Defaults. The description herein of the Existing Default is based upon the information provided to the Lenders on or prior to the date hereof and shall not be deemed to exclude the existence of any other Defaults or Events of Default. The failure of the Lenders to give notice to the Borrower or the Guarantors of any such other Defaults or Events of Default is not intended to be nor shall be a waiver thereof. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Lenders require and will require strict performance by the Borrower and the Guarantors of all of their respective obligations, agreements and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and no inaction or action by the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, Issuing Lender or any Lender regarding any Default or Event of Default (including but not limited to the Existing Defaults and the waiver thereof provided herein) is intended to be or shall be a waiver thereof other than the waiver of the Existing Defaults expressly provided for in Section 2.(b) of this Agreement. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby also agrees and acknowledges that no course of dealing and no delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy conferred to any Lender in the Credit Agreement or in any other Credit Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any such right, power, or remedy (collectively, the “Lender Rights”). For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby also agrees and acknowledges that neither the waiver provided in this Agreement nor any other waiver provided by the Lenders prior to the date hereof shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any of the Lender Rights other than the waiver of the Existing Defaults expressly provided for in Section 2.(b) of this Agreement.
