LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.4
This Letter of Credit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of January 19, 2010, by and between WCI Communities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WCI”), and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank”).
1. Letter of Credit Commitment.
(a) During the Availability Period described below, Bank will provide Letters of Credit (defined below) for WCI’s account for WCI or an affiliate of WCI as account parties. The amount available for the Letters of Credit shall not exceed $23,622,551.94 (as such amount may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the “Commitment”).
(b) This is an agreement for the maintenance, issuance, renewal or extension of new and existing letters of credit (collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). Letters of Credit existing on the date hereof are listed on Schedule A attached hereto (“Existing Letters of Credit”). Subject to the terms and conditions herein, from time to time during the Availability Period, Bank will, at WCI’s request, increase, renew and extend Existing Letters of Credit, increase, renew or extend Existing Letters of Credit and issue, increase, renew or extend new Letters of Credit (“New L/Cs”) for WCI’s account for WCI or its affiliates as account parties; provided, however, that at no time shall (a) the Outstanding Amount (defined below) of all Letters of Credit exceed the Commitment, or (b) the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of all New L/Cs plus (ii) the aggregate amount by which the Outstanding Amount at such time with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit that has been increased exceeds the Outstanding Amount of such Existing Letter of Credit as of the date hereof, exceed $2,500,000. For purposes hereof, the term “Outstanding Amount” of any Letter of Credit, as of any date, means the drawable amount of such Letter of Credit, comprised of the sum of (x) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit after giving effect to any automatic increases from time to time in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms, whether or not any such increase is then in effect and (y) all amounts drawn thereunder that have not been reimbursed.
(c) WCI shall pay Bank (i) by the close of business on the day of any draw under any Letter of Credit, all amounts paid by Bank under or in respect of such draw under such Letter of Credit and (ii) within five (5) business day after WCI receives Bank’ e-mail invoice or other written notice therefore, all other amounts due under (A) the Master Application (including fees in respect of the Letters of Credit), (B) this Agreement, and (C) the Security Agreement (defined
below) governing Collateral (defined below) or the account in which it is held. Bank shall automatically apply Collateral towards amounts due referred to in clause (i) hereof or if WCI fails to pay the amounts due referred to in clause (ii) hereof, provided that Bank shall not be obligated to apply Collateral to the extent that after giving effect to such application, the remaining amount of Collateral is less than the Minimum Required Collateral Value. WCI hereby authorizes Bank to make withdrawals from the Deposit Account in accordance with the preceding sentence.
(d) All past due amounts hereunder (including, without limitation, any drawing under a Letter of Credit that is not immediately repaid) shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to Bank’s Prime Rate plus three percent (3.00%) from the date due until the date paid. The Prime Rate is set by Bank based on various factors, including Bank’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some credits. Bank may price credit at, above or below the Prime Rate. Any change in Bank’s Prime Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in Bank’s public announcement of a change in Bank’s Prime Rate. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.
(e) On each Fee Payment Date (as defined below), so long as any undrawn amount of the Letters of Credit remain available, WCI agrees to pay to Bank a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”). The Letter of Credit Fee shall be at a rate per annum equal to 1.75%. The applicable Letter of Credit Fee shall be calculated and payable on the undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit as of the first business day after the end of each March, June, September and December (each, a “Fee Payment Date”), and shall be for the period (i) commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the day preceding the first Fee Payment Date (or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit, as the case may be), and (ii) thereafter, commencing on such prior Fee Payment Date and ending on the day preceding the next Fee Payment Date (or the expiration date of a Letter of Credit, as the case may be), both dates inclusive. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. The Bank shall not be required to refund any portion of the Letter of Credit Fee paid for any period during which (i) any Letter of Credit expires or terminates or (ii) the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit is reduced by drawings or by amendment.
(f) WCI agrees to pay Bank a non-refundable unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) of one-half of one percent (0.50%) calculated based on the actual daily amount in which the Commitment exceeds the Outstanding Amount of all Letters of Credit. The Unused Fee shall accrue at all
times during the Availability Period (defined below) and such fee will be due and payable in arrears on the first business day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing for so long the Commitment remains outstanding (all fees being calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360-days).
2. Availability Period. The “Availability Period” of the Commitment commences on the date of this Agreement and expires on June 30, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”); provided that the security interest granted hereunder shall continue until terminated by Bank pursuant to Section 14.
3. Written Requests.
(a) Each Existing Letter of Credit is outstanding under that certain Amended and Restated Master Application and Agreement for Standby Letters of Credit executed by WCI and dated of even date herewith (the “Master Application”), which Master Application was in amendment and restatement of that certain Master Application and Agreement for Standby Letters of Credit executed by WCI and dated as of September 3, 2009. Each new Letter of Credit will be issued under a Bank of America standard form Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit (together with the Master Application, the “Application and Agreements”) executed by WCI; and each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance and in favor of beneficiaries satisfactory to Bank in its reasonable discretion. Each request for an increase in any Existing Letter of Credit, the issuance of or increase in any new Letter of Credit or any extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit shall be made in writing in a manner acceptable to Bank upon at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice from WCI. Each Letter of Credit shall expire on or before the Expiration Date.
(b) If WCI so requests in any applicable Application and Agreement, then Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to renew, extend, increase or issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by Bank, WCI shall not be required to make a specific request to Bank for any extension which is set forth in any Auto-Extension Letter of Credit. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit has been issued, Bank shall permit, in accordance with the terms of such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit, the extension of such Letter of Credit to an expiry date not later than the Expiration Date; provided, however, that Bank shall have no obligation to renew, extend, increase or issue any Auto-Extension Letter of Credit at any time if it has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof.
(c) The obligation of Bank to issue, increase, renew, or extend any new Letter of Credit or to increase, renew or extend any Existing Letter of Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that is an Event of Default or, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would be an Event of Default; (ii) all of the representations and warranties set forth herein are true and correct in all material respects; and (iii) after giving effect to the issuance, increase or renewal of such Letter of Credit, WCI shall have complied with Section 4 hereof.
4. Minimum Required Collateral Value. WCI agrees that it shall at all times maintain cash collateral (the “Collateral”) with Bank having an aggregate value equal to 105.0% of the Outstanding Amount of all Letters of Credit (the “Minimum Required Collateral Value”). Prior to the issuance of any new Letters of Credit or the increase in any Letter of Credit, WCI shall deliver to Bank additional Collateral such that the aggregate value of all Collateral will equal the Minimum Required Collateral Value after giving effect thereto. If at any time and from time to time Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that the value of the Collateral is less than the Minimum Required Collateral Value, then WCI shall, upon demand, immediately deliver additional Collateral such that the aggregate value of the Collateral shall equal the Minimum Required Collateral Value.
5. Deposit Account. For purposes of this Agreement, “Deposit Account” means account no. 1499409454 opened by WCI with Bank, any renewals or rollovers thereof, any successor or substitute deposit account(s) including, without limitation, any such deposit account as it may have been renumbered or retitled. The Deposit Account shall be established and held in the name of WCI but under the sole control and dominion of Bank. WCI agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings (if any) on any such deposit as its income, and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in the Deposit Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes.
6. Grant of Security Interest.
(a) As security for the Indebtedness (defined below), WCI shall execute and deliver to Bank an Amended and Restated Assignment of Deposit Account for Cash Secured Letters of Credit dated as of even date herewith (as amended, the “Security Agreement”) covering the Deposit Account.
(b) Subject to the terms of the Application and Agreements, in the event that all or any portion of the Indebtedness is not paid when and as due and payable (whether by acceleration, declaration, extension or otherwise) or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or a default under any of the Application and Agreements, (i) Bank, in addition to the remedies provided in Section 13 hereof, may and is hereby irrevocably authorized to withdraw any and all funds and moneys now or hereafter on deposit in the Deposit Account at such times and in such amounts as Bank in its sole discretion shall determine, and (ii) Bank may in its discretion either (A) hold such funds or any portion thereof subject to the terms hereof, or (B) apply such funds or any portion thereof to the Indebtedness in such order and manner as Bank may elect. Bank may at any time or from time to time take any and all actions with respect to the Deposit Account (and the funds and moneys or portions thereof deposited thereto) as authorized herein, by law or by the terms of any of the Application and Agreements.
(c) “Indebtedness” means any and all existing and future indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company arising under (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Master Application, (iii) each other application and agreement executed in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Agreement, and (iv) such other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations to the Bank relating to all Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement or any other account in which cash collateral is deposited pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, whether indebtedness, liabilities and obligations are direct, indirect, contingent, primary, secondary, alone, jointly with others, due, to become due, now existing, hereafter created including for principal, interest, expense payments, liquidation costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses. Bank’s books and records showing the amount of the Indebtedness shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon WCI and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Indebtedness, absent demonstrable error.
7. Automatic Reduction of Commitment. The Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount of (a) each Letter of Credit that, after the date hereof, (i) expires by its terms, (ii) is terminated or cancelled and returned to Bank, or (iii) is drawn by the beneficiary thereof, and (b) any permanent reduction in the face amount of any Letter of Credit.
8. Withdrawals. Upon the request of WCI, Bank shall release any Collateral in excess of the Minimum Required Collateral Value. Following the Expiration Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement), WCI may request that Bank release all of the Collateral and upon such request, so long as no Letters of Credit are then outstanding and the Indebtedness hereunder has been paid in full, the Bank shall promptly release all of the Collateral to WCI. Except as provided in the previous sentences, WCI shall not be entitled to withdraw funds from the Deposit Account without Bank’s prior written consent.
