WAIVER AND SIXTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS WAIVER AND SIXTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of August 26, 2008, is entered into by and among the Lenders signatory hereto, XXXXX FARGO FOOTHILL, INC., a California corporation, in its capacity as Agent for the Lenders and Bank Product Providers (in such capacity, “Agent”), and SUMTOTAL SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”). Terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement defined below.
RECITALS
A. The Lenders, Agent and Borrower have previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 4, 2005, as amended as of October 21, 2005, August 11, 2006, November 13, 2006, June 19, 2007 and August 17, 2007 (as so amended, and as further amended, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain loans and financial accommodations available to Borrower.
B. The Borrower has informed Agent that it desires to transfer up to US$7 million in cash to SumTotal Systems Netherlands B.V., a besloten vennootschap organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“SumTotal Netherlands”) and a Subsidiary of the Borrower, which cash (the “Netherlands Investment”) shall be contributed by SumTotal Netherlands to its wholly-owned subsidiary, SumTotal Systems U.K. Ltd., a private limited company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (“SumTotal UK”) (such cash contribution to SumTotal UK being the “UK Investment”), in order (i) to recapitalize SumTotal UK and (ii) permit the repayment by SumTotal UK of certain of its obligations to the Borrower of up to US$7 million (the “SumTotal UK Loan”). Section 6.7 of the Credit Agreement prohibits the prepayment of certain Indebtedness of Subsidiaries of the Borrower; Section 6.12 restricts Borrower’s ability to make Investments in certain Subsidiaries; Section 6.12(b) prohibits SumTotal UK from holding more than US$1 million of cash in a deposit account that is not subject to a Control Agreement; and Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement restricts Borrower’s and its Affiliates’ ability to enter into certain transactions with one another.
C. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders and the Agent agree to certain additional amendments to the Credit Agreement, and the Lenders and the Agent have agreed to such request, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
