TO


REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT


 


THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of April 23, 2015, by and among JOE’S JEANS SUBSIDIARY INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Administrative Borrower”), HUDSON CLOTHING, LLC, (together with the Administrative Borrower, the “Borrowers”), JOE’S JEANS INC., JOE’S JEANS RETAIL SUBSIDIARY, INC., INNOVO WEST SALES, INC., HUDSON CLOTHING HOLDINGS, INC., HC ACQUISITION HOLDINGS, INC. (collectively, the “Guarantors” and together with the Borrowers, each a “Loan Party” and collectively, “Loan Parties”), THE CIT GROUP/COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. (the “Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent”) and the other Lenders listed on the signature pages hereof.


 


BACKGROUND


 


Loan Parties, THE CIT GROUP/COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC., as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Swingline Lender and the other Lenders party thereto are parties to a Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 2013 (as amended, amended and restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Administrative Agent and Lenders provide the Borrowers and other Loan Parties with certain financial accommodations.


 


Loan Parties have requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders make certain amendments to the Loan Agreement, and Administrative Agent and Lenders are willing to do so on the terms and conditions hereafter set forth.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of any loan or advance or grant of credit heretofore or hereafter made to or for the account of Borrowers by Administrative Agent and Lenders, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


 


1.   Definitions.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.


 


2.   Reservation of Rights.


 


(a)   Loan Parties acknowledge that certain Defaults and Events of Default have arisen (x) under Section 7.01(d) of the Loan Agreement due to the failure of Parent and Borrowers to (i) comply with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.12(b) of the Loan Agreement for the fiscal quarters ended November 30, 2014 and February 28, 2015 and (ii) deliver the financial plan and forecast for fiscal year 2015 as required by Section 5.01(e) of the Loan Agreement, within the time period required by such Section, and (y) under Section 7.01(s) of the Loan Agreement as a result of (i) the occurrence of an event of default under the Term Loan Agreement due to the failure of Parent and the Borrowers to have, on a consolidated basis with respect to the twelve fiscal months ended September 30, 2014, EBITDA of at least $22,136,300 and (ii) other events of default occurring under the Term Loan Agreement, which were not cured or waived within the applicable grace period (all of the foregoing Defaults and Events of Default under Section 7.01(d) and Section 7.01(s) of the Loan Agreement being collectively referred to herein as, the “Existing Defaults”).  As a result of the Existing Defaults, and subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and applicable law, the Administrative Agent has the immediate right to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and at law.









  





  











  




 




(b)   To the extent Administrative Agent and Lenders make any additional Loans after the date hereof, such Loans shall not constitute either a waiver of, nor agreement to forbear by Administrative Agent with respect to the Existing Defaults or any future Default or Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Existing Defaults.  No such additional Loans by Administrative Agent and Lenders shall, directly or indirectly, in any way whatsoever, impair, prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s right at any time and from time to time to exercise any right, privilege or remedy in connection with the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or amend or alter the provisions of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or constitute a course of dealing or other basis for altering any Obligation of any Loan Party or any other Person or any right, privilege or remedy of Administrative Agent under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents.


 


(c)   Although Administrative Agent is not presently taking any immediate action with respect to the Existing Defaults other than as set forth in Section 2(e) hereof, Administrative Agent hereby reserves all its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable law, and its election not to exercise any additional right or remedy at the present time shall not (a) preclude Administrative Agent and Lenders from ceasing at any time to make Loans, (b) limit in any manner whatsoever any Loan Party’s obligation to comply with, and Administrative Agent’s right to insist on any Loan Party’s compliance with, each and every term of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (c) constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or any right or remedy available to Administrative Agent under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law, and Administrative Agent hereby expressly reserves its rights with respect to the same.


 


(d)   No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent in exercising any right or remedy under the Loan Agreement and no course of dealing between Loan Parties and Administrative Agent shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy under the Loan Agreement.  Administrative Agent expressly reserves all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement.


 


(e)   Loan Parties agree, based on the occurrence of the Existing Defaults and as permitted under Section 2.14(d) of the Loan Agreement, on and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date interest on the Loans shall accrue at a default rate of two percent (2%) in excess of the applicable interest rate otherwise payable under the Loan Agreement for the applicable Loans (the “Default Rate”), and the Loan Parties agree to the payment of interest on the Loans at the Default Rate.
