WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent are parties to a Revolving Credit, Tranche B Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2002 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have extended credit to the Borrowers on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent have agreed, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms which are used herein without definition and which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
§1. Amendments to Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Appraised Inventory Tranche B Percentage” in its entirety and substituting the following definition in lieu thereof:
“Appraised Inventory Tranche B Percentage. For each Eligible Inventory Category, the Appraised Inventory Tranche B Percentage shall be equal to one hundred and two percent (102%) through November 30, 2003 and, thereafter one hundred percent (100%). With respect to additional Eligible Inventory Categories, the Appraised Inventory Tranche B Percentage shall be the percentage determined by the Administrative Agent and the Tranche B Lender.”;
§2. Amendments to Section 3 of the Credit Agreement. Section 3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Sections 3.3 and 3.4 in their entirety and substituting the following new Sections 3.3 and 3.4 in lieu thereof:
“3.3. Payments of Principal of Tranche B Loan.
Except as contemplated by §13.4, the Borrowers may not make any principal payments on account of the Tranche B Loan until the Borrowers’ Obligations to the Revolving Credit Lenders have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated; provided, however, beginning April 30, 2003, the Borrowers may prepay the Tranche B Loan in its entirety or in $1,000,000 increments if at such time (i) a Default does not exist and one would not result from such prepayment, (ii) after giving effect to such payment Availability is in excess of $10,000,000 and (iii) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent pro forma financial statements for the next 12 months demonstrating, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that Availability will exceed $10,000,000 at all times during the next 12 months after giving effect to the prepayment of the Tranche B Loan. The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all of the Tranche B Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If the Borrowers prepay the Tranche B Loans in whole or in part, then, in view of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to Tranche B Lender or profits lost by the Tranche B Lender as a result thereof, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Tranche B Lender, the Borrowers shall pay a premium with respect to each such prepayment (the “Tranche B Early Termination Fee”) in an amount equal to one and one-fifth percent (1.20%) of the amount prepaid; provided, however, (i) the Borrowers shall pay the Tranche B Early Termination Fee with respect to the first $2,000,000 prepaid only upon the first prepayment that results in the aggregate prepayments of the Tranche B Loan exceeding such $2,000,000 (and in such event, such Tranche B Early Termination Fee (i.e., $24,000) shall become payable in addition to the Tranche B Early Termination Fee that becomes payable in respect of such other prepayment; and (ii) the Borrowers shall not pay a Tranche B Early Termination Fee with respect to any amount prepaid as a result of a refinancing provided by the Tranche B Lender in a principal amount of at least $10,500,000 solely in connection with a new term loan facility issued in connection with an acquisition financing request from the Borrowers.
3.4. Interest on Tranche B Loan.
Except as otherwise provided in §§3.4(b) and 16.12(c)(iv), the outstanding amount of the Tranche B Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and shall bear interest until repaid at the rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12.0%) (the “Tranche B Loan Interest Rate”). The Tranche B Loan Interest Rate, shall be payable as follows:
(a) Accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Tranche B Loan at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12.00%) (“Tranche B Loan Current Pay Interest”) shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month (the “Tranche B Loan Interest Payment Date”), and on the Maturity Date.
(b) Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, at the direction of the Tranche B Loan Lender, interest shall accrue and shall be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Tranche B Loan at the aggregate of the Tranche B Loan Interest Rate plus three percent (3%) per annum.
§3. Amendment to Schedules to the Credit Agreement. The Schedules to the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by deleting Schedule 1A in its entirety.
