Exhibit 10.34
FIRST AMENDMENT
TO
REVOLVING CREDIT, TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING CREDIT, TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “First Amendment”), dated as of December 30, 2004, is entered into by and among FIREARMS TRAINING SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), FATS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“FATS,” and, together with Parent, individually a “Borrower” and collectively, “Borrowers”), and CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CapitalSource”), as administrative, payment and collateral agent for Lenders (in such capacities, the “Agent”), and Lenders.
WHEREAS, the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders are parties to that certain Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 30, 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders desire to amend the Credit Agreement, on the terms set forth in this First Amendment,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which hereby are acknowledged, the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this First Amendment without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
Section 2. Amendments to Credit Agreement.
2.1 The parenthetical in the last paragraph of Section 2.21(k) of the Credit Agreement, which currently reads:
“(excluding any costs or reduced receipts with respect to taxes, to the extent such taxes are (A) imposed on the net income of such Underlying Issuer, any Lender or Agent, (B) franchise taxes or similar taxes (in each case imposed in lieu of net income taxes), (C) any United States withholding taxes in effect on the Closing Date and (iv) interest, penalties or similar amounts related to clauses (A), (B) and (C))”
shall be amended to read in full as follows:
“(excluding any costs or reduced receipts with respect to taxes, which are governed by Section 6.12)”.
2.2 Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended to read in full as follows:
(a) “All payments and reimbursements to Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of Lenders, made under any Loan Document shall be free and clear of and without
deduction for all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto of any nature whatsoever. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, no payment or reimbursement is required with respect to taxes imposed on any Lender’s net income. If any Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of Lenders, then the sum payable to Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of Lenders, shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, provided that such gross ups shall only be required in the event of a Change in Law (defined below) occurring after the date such Lender or Agent has become a Lender or Agent.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, if at any time after the Closing or the making of any Advance or funding of the Term Loans (a) any change in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (b) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (c) compliance by Agent or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority (in each case, a “Change in Law”): (i) subjects Agent or such Lender to any tax, levy, impost, deduction, assessment, charge or withholding of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Loan Document, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of Lenders, of any amount payable thereunder, or (ii) imposes on Agent or Lenders any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or participations therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or Lenders of making or continuing or maintaining any Loan hereunder or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, the Credit Parties shall promptly pay to Agent, for its own account and/or for the benefit of Lenders, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Agent and/or each Lender, on an aftertax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount as determined by Agent and such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no payment is required with respect to net income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or commitment fees or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Agent or any Lender.
Prior to receiving any payments pursuant to this Section 6.12, and upon the request of Agent and/or Borrowers, each Lender shall provide to Agent and Borrowers (and Agent shall provide to Borrowers) such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholdings or deductions. In addition, Agent and any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Upon request by Borrowers, from time to time, as necessary, Agent and each Lender shall provide updated documentation (e.g,, in the event of obsolescence of documents previously provided, changes in circumstances or Changes in Law). Any Lender’s failure to comply with this Section 6.12(c) shall relieve Credit Parties from the requirement to pay any additional amounts described in Section 6.12(a), provided that the inability of any such Lender to provide updated documentation that will permit
2
payments to be made without withholdings or deductions as a result of a Change in Law shall not constitute a failure to comply with this Section 6.12(c).
(c) If Agent or any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.12 it shall promptly notify the Credit Parties of the event by reason of which Agent or such Lender has become so entitled, and each such notice of additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.12 submitted by Agent or such Lender to the Credit Parties shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.”
2.3 The facsimile number for Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, which appears on the signature page beneath the signature block of CapitalSource Finance LLC, shall be changed to “(000) 000-0000”.
2.4 Paragraph 4 (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) of the Financial Covenants attached as Annex I to the Credit Agreement shall be amended to read in full as follows:
“As measured on December 31, 2004 and on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 thereafter, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1:25 to 1:00.”
2.5 Schedule 6.7 to the Credit Agreement shall be amended to (i) extend the time for delivery of a fully executed Landlord Waiver and Consent pursuant to paragraph I of Schedule 6.7 to January 31, 2005; (ii) extend the time for delivery of a fully executed Stock Pledge Agreement covering the stock of all CFCs pursuant to paragraph 2 of Schedule 6.7 to January 31, 2005; and (iii) extend the time for delivery of a fully executed account control agreement covering account number 892626 pursuant to paragraph 8 of Schedule 6.7 to January 31, 2005. Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of all post-closing deliverables required by Schedule 6.7 other than the items referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.5.
