Waiver.
Section 2.1. The Co-Borrowers have advised the Lenders that Pacific Stair Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pacific”), intends to purchase the assets of Pacific Stair Products, a California corporation (the “Purchase”) for a Permitted Acquisition Purchase Price not to exceed $5,900,000 (the “Purchase”). The Lenders hereby waive compliance by the Co-Borrowers with the provisions in the Credit Agreement regarding Permitted Acquisitions which (a) require that only a Co-Borrower enter in a Permitted Acquisition and (b) restrict the Permitted Acquisition Purchase Price in connection with any single Permitted Acquisition to exceed $5,000,000, provided that all other requirements for a Permitted Acquisition with respect to the Purchase have been satisfied and that Pacific shall become a Co-Borrower or a Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and in connection therewith shall execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required by the Lenders by no later than January 23, 2006, including, without limitation, those documents described on Schedule 1 attached hereto. In addition, the Lenders hereby waive compliance by the Co-Borrowers with Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement which restricts the Co-Borrowers’ ability to make a Permitted Acquisition at any time that the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan is in excess of $12,500,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the waivers set forth in this Section 2.1 shall apply only to the Purchase.
Section 2.2. Co-Borrowers have advised the Lenders that P&F intends to form a new Subsidiary (“Newco”) to which P&F will transfer all of its limited partnership interest in Woodmark and subsequent to such transfer, P&F will contribute all of its ownership interest in Newco to Countrywide (the “Woodmark Transaction”). The Lenders hereby waive compliance by the Co-Borrowers with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, Sections 6.10, 7.04 and 7.06 of the Credit Agreement, and hereby waive any event of default that would arise under the Credit Agreement, provided that evidence of the transfer of assets to Newco and all documents required by Section 6.10 shall be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent by no later than January 23, 2006. In addition, in the event that Newco shall become a Co-Borrower (rather than a Guarantor) under the Credit Agreement, the Co-Borrowers shall further deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional documents as may be reasonably required by the Lenders to evidence such status. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the waiver set forth in this Section 2.2 shall apply only to the Woodmark Transaction.
Conditions of Effectiveness.
This Amendment and Waiver shall become effective as of the date hereof, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of this Amendment and Waiver, duly executed by each Co-Borrower and each Lender, and a copy of the duly executed Asset Purchase Agreement, Xxxx of Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement (if any) all in connection with the Purchase, along with lien searches with respect to Pacific Stair Products, a California corporation.
