and Magenta each referred to herein individually as a “Borrower” and
collectively as the “Borrowers”), ACF CGS,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Agent”), as
administrative agent and the lenders party thereto (as amended, modified and/or
restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”; all
capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have their
respective meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement). Reference is
also made to the Third Amendment to Forbearance Agreement of even date herewith
by and between the Agent and the Borrowers which acknowledges the agreement of
the Agent and the Lenders to temporarily forbear from exercising certain rights
and remedies with respect to the Defaults under the Loan Agreement referenced
therein (the “Forbearance”).
By
execution of this letter agreement, in consideration of Agent and the Lenders
granting the Forbearance, Borrowers hereby agree to pay to Agent, for the
account of the Lenders, a fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the
outstanding balance of the Term Loan as of the date of this agreement, which fee
shall be paid in cash simultaneously with the execution of this letter agreement
(the “Forbearance
Fee”).
The
Forbearance Fee is fully earned by Lenders on the date hereof and shall be
non-refundable. The Forbearance Fee is separate and in addition to
all other fees payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.
Borrowers
acknowledge and agree that the Forbearance Fee constitutes a fee as
consideration for entering into the Forbearance and is not intended as and does
not constitute interest or a charge in the nature of interest. Agent
and Borrowers intend to comply at all times with applicable usury
laws. In no event or contingency shall the interest contracted for,
charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Agent exceed the maximum amount
permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance
whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Agent in excess of the
maximum allowable rate, the interest payable shall be reduced to such maximum
rate; and if from any circumstance Agent shall ever receive anything of value
deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum rate, an amount equal
to any excessive interest shall be applied to the principal of the Term Loan as
provided for in the Loan Agreement and not to the payment of
interest.
