A. On February 9, 2012, Borrowers, Lenders and Agent entered into, inter alia, that certain Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (as same has been or may be amended, modified, renewed, extended, replaced or substituted from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) to reflect certain financing arrangements between the parties thereto. The Loan Agreement and all other documents executed in connection therewith to the date hereof are collectively referred to as the “Existing Financing Agreements.” All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.
B. The Borrowers have requested and the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to amend certain terms and provisions contained in the Loan Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing background hereinafter deemed incorporated by reference herein and made part hereof, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, promise and agree as follows:
1.Amendment. Upon the Effective Date, the Loan Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a)Section 1.2 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following definitions in their entirety and replacing them as follows:
“Applicable Margin” shall mean (a) until the first Initial Adjustment Date, an amount equal to the amount set forth in Level III in the chart below, (b) upon receipt of the quarterly financial statements of Borrowers on a Consolidated Basis and related Compliance Certificate required under Section 9.8 for the fiscal quarter ending on or about October 31, 2020, the Applicable Margin for
each type of Advance under the Term Loan shall be adjusted as of November 1, 2020 (the “Initial Adjustment Dates”), if necessary, to the applicable percent per annum set forth in the pricing table below corresponding to the TTM Leverage Ratio for the respective trailing four quarter period ending on the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the Initial Adjustment Date and (c) thereafter, beginning with the fiscal year ending on or about January 31, 2021, upon receipt of the annual financial statements of Borrowers on a Consolidated Basis and related Compliance Certificate required under Section 9.7 for the most recently ended fiscal year, the Applicable Margin for each type of Advance under the Term Loan shall be adjusted as of May 1 of each year (the “Adjustment Date”), if necessary, to the applicable percent per annum set forth in the pricing table below corresponding to the TTM Leverage Ratio for the trailing four quarter period ending on the last day of the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the applicable Adjustment Date:
TTM Leverage Ratio | APPLICABLE MARGINS FOR DOMESTIC RATE LOANS | APPLICABLE MARGINS FOR EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS | |
Term Loan | Term Loan | ||
Level I | Less than 3.00 | 4.0% | 5.0% |
Level II | Greater than or equal to 3.00 but less than 4.00 | 4.5% | 5.5% |
Level III | Greater than or equal to 4.00 | 5.0% | 6.0% |
If Borrowers shall fail to deliver the financial statements, certificates and/or other information required under Sections 9.7 or 9.8, as applicable, by the dates required pursuant to such section, each Applicable Margin shall be conclusively presumed to equal the highest Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table set forth above until the date of delivery of such financial statements, certificates and/or other information, at which time the rate will be adjusted based upon the TTM Leverage Ratio reflected in such statements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, each Applicable Margin shall increase to and equal the highest Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table set forth above and shall continue at such highest Applicable Margin until the date (if any) on which such Event of Default shall be cured or waived in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, at which time the rate will be adjusted based upon the TTM Leverage Ratio reflected on the most recently delivered financial statements and Compliance Certificate delivered by Borrowers to
2
Agent pursuant to Section 9.7 or 9.8, as applicable. Any increase in interest rates payable by Borrowers under this Agreement and the Other Documents pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be in addition to and independent of any increase in such interest rates resulting from the occurrence of any Event of Default (including, if applicable, any Event of Default arising from a breach of Section 9.7 or 9.8) and/or the effectiveness of the Default Rate provisions of Section 3.1 hereof.
If, as a result of any restatement of, or other adjustment to, the financial statements of Borrowers on a Consolidated Basis or for any other reason, Agent determines that (a) the TTM Leverage Ratio as previously calculated as of any applicable date for any applicable period was inaccurate, and (b) a proper calculation of the TTM Leverage Ratio for any such period would have resulted in different pricing for such period, then (i) if the proper calculation of the TTM Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher interest rate for such period, automatically and immediately without the necessity of any demand or notice by Agent or any other affirmative act of any party, the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Advances under the Term Loan for such period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to be retroactively increased by, and Borrowers shall be obligated to immediately pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest actually paid for such period; and (ii) if the proper calculation of the TTM Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a lower interest rate for such period, then the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Advances for such period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to be retroactively decreased by, and Agent and Lenders shall apply a credit to Borrowers’ account in an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest that was actually paid for such period over the amount of interest that should have been paid for such period; provided, that, if as a result of any restatement or other event or other determination by Agent a proper calculation of the TTM Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher interest rate for one or more periods and a lower interest rate for one or more other periods (due to the shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any other reason), then the amount payable by Borrowers pursuant to clause (i) above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the amounts of interest actually paid for such periods.
“Revolving Applicable Margin” shall mean (a) until the first Initial Revolving Adjustment Date, an amount equal to the amount set forth in Level III in the chart below, (b) upon receipt of the quarterly financial statements of Borrowers on a Consolidated Basis and related Compliance Certificate required under Section 9.8 for the fiscal quarter ending on or about October 31, 2020 the
3
Applicable Margin for each type of Advance under the Revolving Loan shall be adjusted as of November 1, 2020 (the “Initial Revolving Adjustment Date”), if necessary, to the applicable percent per annum set forth in the pricing table below corresponding to the TTM Leverage Ratio for the respective trailing four quarter period ending on the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the Initial Revolving Adjustment Date and (c) thereafter, beginning with the fiscal year ending on or about January 31, 2021, on and after the first Revolving Adjustment Date, upon receipt of the financial statements of Borrowers on a Consolidated Basis and related Compliance Certificate required under Section 9.7 or 9.8, as applicable, for the fiscal quarters or fiscal years, as applicable, ending on or about January 31 and July 31 of each year, the Revolving Applicable Margin for each type of Revolving Advance shall be adjusted (i) as of May 1 of each year in connection with the financial statements delivered for the fiscal year ending January 31 and (ii) as of November 1 of each year in connection with the financial statements delivered for the fiscal quarter ending July 31 (as applicable, the “Revolving Adjustment Date”), if necessary, to the applicable percent per annum set forth in the pricing table below corresponding to the TTM Leverage Ratio for the trailing four quarter period ending on the last day of the fiscal year end or July fiscal quarter prior to the applicable Revolving Adjustment Date:
TTM Leverage Ratio | APPLICABLE MARGINS FOR DOMESTIC RATE LOANS | APPLICABLE MARGINS FOR EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS | |
Revolving Advances | Revolving Advances | ||
Level I | Less than 3.00 | 2.0% | 3% |
Level II | Greater than or equal to 3.00 but less than 4.00 | 2.75% | 3.75% |
Level III | Greater than or equal to 4.00 | 3.50% | 4.5% |
If Borrowers shall fail to deliver the financial statements, certificates and/or other information required under Section 9.7 or 9.8, as applicable, by the date required pursuant to such section, each Revolving Applicable Margin shall be conclusively presumed to equal the highest Revolving Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table set forth above until the date of delivery of such financial statements, certificates and/or other information, at which time the rate will be adjusted based upon the TTM Leverage Ratio reflected in such statements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent shall have the right upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to increase each Revolving Applicable Margin to equal the highest Revolving Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table set forth above and shall continue at such highest Revolving Applicable
4
Margin until the date (if any) on which such Event of Default shall be cured or waived in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, at which time the rate will be adjusted based upon the TTM Leverage Ratio reflected on the most recently delivered financial statements and Compliance Certificate delivered by Borrowers to Agent pursuant to Section 9.7 or 9.8, as applicable. Any increase in interest rates payable by Borrowers under this Agreement and the Other Documents pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be in addition to and independent of any increase in such interest rates resulting from the occurrence of any Event of Default (including, if applicable, any Event of Default arising from a breach of Section 9.7 or 9.8, as applicable) and/or the effectiveness of the Default Rate provisions of Section 3.1 hereof.
If, as a result of any restatement of, or other adjustment to, the financial statements of Borrowers on a Consolidated Basis or for any other reason, Agent determines that (a) the TTM Leverage Ratio as previously calculated as of any applicable date for any applicable period was inaccurate, and (b) a proper calculation of the TTM Leverage Ratio for any such period would have resulted in different pricing for such period, then (i) if the proper calculation of the TTM Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher interest rate for such period, automatically and immediately without the necessity of any demand or notice by Agent or any other affirmative act of any party, the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Revolving Advances for such period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to be retroactively increased by, and Borrowers shall be obligated to immediately pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest actually paid for such period; and (ii) if the proper calculation of the TTM Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a lower interest rate for such period, then the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Revolving Advances for such period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to be retroactively decreased by, and Agent and Lenders shall apply a credit to Borrowers’ account in an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest that was actually paid for such period over the amount of interest that should have been paid for such period; provided, that, if as a result of any restatement or other event or other determination by Agent a proper calculation of the TTM Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher interest rate for one or more periods and a lower interest rate for one or more other periods (due to the shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any other reason), then the amount payable by Borrowers pursuant to clause (i) above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the amounts of interest actually paid for such periods.
