FIFTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
Xxxxxx Trust and Savings Bank,
as Administrative Agent Chicago, Illinois
Other Banks party to the
Credit Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to the Credit Agreement dated as of October 8, 1996 (such
Credit Agreement, as heretofore amended and as may be amended from time to
time, being hereinafter referred to as the "CREDIT AGREEMENT") and currently
in effect between you and us. Capitalized terms used without definition below
shall have the same meanings herein as they have in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower has requested that the Banks make certain modifications
to the borrowing arrangements provided for in the Credit Agreement and the
Banks have agreed to accommodate such request by the Borrower on the terms
and conditions set forth herein.
1 . CURRENT ASSET COLLATERAL.
Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment as hereinafter set forth,
Section 3 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by inserting the following
new Section immediately at the end thereof:
SECTION 3.10. DOMESTIC CURRENT ASSET COLLATERAL. (a)
GENERALLY. The Loans and other Obligations and Hedging Liability shall
be secured by valid and perfected first Liens on all inventory and
accounts receivable of the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary and
all books and records of the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries
related to any of the foregoing inventory or accounts receivable and
all proceeds of the foregoing, in each case limited by and pursuant to
a Security Agreement in the form or substantially the form of Exhibit 0
hereto, as each such Agreement may from time to time be modified or
amended (the "SECURITY AGREEMENT"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) no such
Liens need be granted on, and the Collateral shall not include,
accounts receivable subject to securitizations, inventory subject to
purchase money security interests, inventory subject to capitalized
leases, and inventory on consignment to any Debtor, in each case to the
extent provided in the Security Agreement, (ii) such Liens need not be
perfected on (a) any Collateral which is covered by (i) above, (b) any
Collateral located outside the United States in the ordinary course of
business, and (c) any loans made by any Debtor in the ordinary course
of business to retail customers outstanding as of June 1, 1999 or to
finance capital improvements by, or provide working capital to, such
customers, in each case to the extent such loans do not directly or
indirectly constitute trade credit, and (iii) such Liens may be subject
to (a) the rights of holders of purchase money security interests, (b)
the rights of lessors under capitalized leases, and (c) the rights of
consignors under consignments, in each case to the extent such
arrangements are permitted in the Credit Agreement. The liens in the
Collateral shall be granted to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
account of the Banks and shall be valid and perfected first Liens
subject, however, to the proviso appearing at the end of the
immediately preceding sentence. The Borrower agrees that it will, and
will cause its Subsidiaries to, from time to time at the request of the
Administrative Agent, execute and deliver
such documents and do such acts and things, as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request in order to provide for or perfect such
Liens on the Collateral, except to the extent any of the foregoing
represents action to perfect Liens on Collateral located outside the
United States in accordance with the Security Agreement. The
Administrative Agent agrees to execute and deliver such documents
(including UCC releases) and do such acts and things, as the Borrower
or any Subsidiary may reasonably request in order to confirm that the
Collateral does not include any Property which the forgoing provisions
of this Section 3. 10 exclude from the Collateral.
(b) LANDLORD'S WAIVERS. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any
Collateral Document to the contrary, the obligations of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries to provide landlord's and mortgagee's waivers in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (collectively being
hereinafter referred to as "WAIVERS") with respect to locations of Collateral
(collectively, the "WAIVER LOCATIONS") which (x) are not owned by the
Borrower or any subsidiary or (y) if so owned, are subject to a mortgage in
favor of a third party shall be deemed satisfied by the following: (i) the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a Waiver
for each Waiver Location at which is situated inventory aggregating in excess
of $500,000 and at all times on and after August 15, 1999, the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries shall have furnished Waivers for Waiver Locations, the
Collateral consisting of inventory at which is situated, when added to the
Collateral consisting of inventory situated at locations that are not Waiver
Locations is more than 90% of the aggregate value of all Collateral
consisting of inventory; (ii) the Borrower shall pay, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to pay, when due all rents and other charges due under any
lease- or mortgage, as applicable, for such location or, with notice to the
Administrative Agent, will in good faith contest its obligation to make such
payments by appropriate proceedings which prevent enforcement of the matter
under contest; and (iii) the Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries
to, furnish the Administrative Agent such information as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request to confirm the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
are in compliance with their respective obligations described in the
immediately preceding clause (ii).
(c) RELEASES. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Loan
Documents to the contrary, the Lien of the Administrative Agent pursuant to
the Collateral Documents on any Property sold or otherwise disposed of as
otherwise permitted by Section 3(f) of the Security Agreement shall be
released upon the written request of the Borrower, if (A) at the time of such
sale or other disposition and immediately after giving effect thereto, no
Default or Event of Default shall occur or be continuing and (B) the net
proceeds of such sale or other disposition are paid to the Administrative
Agent for application in reduction of the Obligations if and to the extent
required herein or by the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall, at
the Borrower's expense, execute and deliver such instruments (including UCC
termination statements) as the Borrower may from time to time reasonably
request to confirm such release made pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence.

being hereinafter referred to as the "XXXX-XX XXXX SALE") and certain dairies
known as Nebraska Dairies, Inc. ("NEBRASKA DAIRIES") and Xxxxxxxx Dairy of

Xxxxxxxx, to the extent made at arm's length to an unaffiliated third party,
being hereinafter referred to as the "DAIRY SALES"). The Borrower has
requested that the Banks waive compliance with those provisions of the Credit

Sales, to the extent such sales are consummated. Accordingly, upon the
effectiveness of this Amendment as hereinafter set forth, the Banks hereby
waive compliance with Section 9.15(g) and Section 9.16 of the Credit
Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, the same would otherwise
prohibit consummation of the Xxxx-Xx Xxxx Sale and Dairy Sales and hereby
agree that consummation of the Xxxx-Xx Xxxx Sale and Dairy Sales will not
cause any Default or Event of Default under such Sections. Upon such
effectiveness of this Amendment, the Banks also hereby agree that the Xxxx-Xx
Xxxx Sale and Dairy Sales shall be excluded from subsequent determinations of
whether other sales, transfers, leases or other dispositions of property
comply with such Section 9.15(g); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Borrower need not
provide the Administrative Agent with a Lien on the assets of Xxxx-Xx Xxxx
Company, Nebraska Dairies or Xxxxxxxx except on such assets as to which the
Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent that the Borrower no longer
intends to pursue its sale of such assets as part of the Xxxx-Xx Xxxx Sale or
the Dairy Sales, as the case may be (the Borrower hereby agreeing to promptly
provide such notice), and in the event the Borrower so decides not to pursue
such a sale of such assets, such Lien on such assets shall be provided within
sixty (60) days after such notice.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Loan Document to the
contrary, upon the consummation of the Xxxx-Xx Xxxx Sale and the Dairy Sales,
if the Borrower so requests the Banks in writing, the Banks will release
their Liens and the Guaranties of Xxxx-Xx Xxxx, Nebraska Dairy and Xxxxxxxx
under the Loan Documents on any assets if and to the extent that at the time
of such release and immediately after giving effect thereto, no Default or
Event of Default shall occur or be continuing.
