Contract
Exhibit 10.2
SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 (this “Supplement”) dated as of March
13, 2007, to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of
November 1, 2006 (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”),
among BUFFETS, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the “Borrower”),
BUFFETS HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), each
Subsidiary of the Borrower from time to time party thereto (each
such subsidiary individually a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and
collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Subsidiary
Guarantors, Holdings and the Borrower are referred to
collectively herein as the “Grantors”) and CREDIT SUISSE,
(together with its affiliates, “Credit Suisse”), as collateral
agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured
Parties (as defined therein).
A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of November 1,
2006 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders from time to time party thereto
(the “Lenders”) and Credit Suisse, as administrative agent for the Lenders and as
Collateral Agent.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement or the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement referred to therein, as applicable.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue
Letters of Credit. Section 7.16 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement provides that
additional Domestic Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties may become Subsidiary Guarantors
and Grantors under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of
an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New
Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the
Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor under the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and
the Issuing Bank to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans
previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.16 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the New
Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Grantor and Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a
Grantor and Subsidiary Guarantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and
provisions of the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor and Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder and (b)
represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor and
Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, (a) unconditionally guarantees,
jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety,
the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations and (b) as security for the
payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in
and lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as
defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a
“Grantor” or a “Subsidiary Guarantor” in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to
include the New Subsidiary. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein
by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the
Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together,
bear the signatures of the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed
signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I
attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the information, with respect to such New
Subsidiary, required by the Perfection Certificate attached as Exhibit B to the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement and (b) set forth under its signature hereto, is the true and correct legal
name of the New Subsidiary and its jurisdiction of organization.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being
understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in
and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto
shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly
permitted by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in
Section 7.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder
to the New Subsidiary shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of
the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.
