Exhibit 10.1

 

FORM OF EXCHANGE AND CONSENT AGREEMENT

 

This EXCHANGE AND CONSENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated December 20, 2012, by and between U.S. Concrete, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the persons listed on Schedule I attached hereto as beneficial owners of the Notes referred to below (together with their respective successors, transferees and assigns, each a “Noteholder” and, collectively, the “Noteholders”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to exchange (the “Exchange”) those certain 9.5% Convertible Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”) issued pursuant to the Indenture, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee and Noteholder Collateral Agent (the “Trustee”), dated as of August 31, 2010 (the “Indenture”) for 9.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Exchange Notes”) on substantially the same terms as the terms described in the term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) attached hereto as Exhibit A;

 

WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the Exchange, the Company intends to deliver, in writing, to each holder of the Notes an Offer to Exchange and Consent Solicitation (the Solicitation”) offering the opportunity to it to tender its Notes in the Exchange and consent to the amendment of the Indenture, in accordance with the Term Sheet (the “Amendment”);

 

WHEREAS, in anticipation of the Solicitation, the Company desires to enter into this Agreement with the Noteholders, in order to, among other things, obtain their agreement to tender their Notes in the Exchange;

 

WHEREAS, the Noteholders desire to enter into this Agreement and confirm their agreement to tender their Notes in the Exchange and consent to the Amendment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof; and

 

WHEREAS, each of the Company and the Noteholders has reviewed, or has had the opportunity to review, with the assistance of professional and legal advisors of their choosing, the proposed terms of the transactions contemplated in the Term Sheet.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.

 

THE EXCHANGE; AMENDMENT

 

  

  

  

 

Section 1.01  Exchange Offer.  Each of the Noteholders agrees that, subject to any limitations in the Indenture, if this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, it shall (i) within five (5) Business Days from the date it receives the written Solicitation materials complying with this Agreement, tender or cause to be tendered all of its Notes in the Exchange and will not withdraw any of such Notes from the Exchange prior to the earlier of (A) the expiration of the Exchange or (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) vote to amend the Indenture and adopt the Amendment pursuant to the Solicitation, (iii) refrain from, directly or indirectly, supporting or consenting to any competing exchange offer, consent solicitation or similar transaction in respect of the Notes other than the Exchange and Solicitation, and (iv) not instruct or cause the Trustee to take any action that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The Company shall prepare the Solicitation, the Amendment and the other documents to be distributed to holders of the Notes in connection with the Exchange and any document required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including any registration statements required to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which documents shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders and, except as otherwise may be consented to in writing by each of the Noteholders, consistent in all material respects with the Term Sheet and the terms of this Agreement.  Each Noteholder shall, with reasonable promptness upon request by the Company, furnish to the Company all information about itself and its affiliates reasonably necessary or appropriate for inclusion in any documents prepared by the Company in connection with the Solicitation or otherwise distributed to holders of the Notes in connection with the Exchange or required to be filed with the SEC in connection therewith, including any registration statements required to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and hereby covenants that any such information furnished in writing by such Noteholder to the Company for inclusion in such documents shall be true and accurate in all material respects as of the time such information is provided, and shall promptly notify the Company in writing if any such information subsequently becomes untrue or inaccurate in any material respect.  Each Noteholder agrees, so long as this Agreement remains in effect, that the Solicitation materials may reference the existence of this Agreement and similar agreements with other holders of Notes, provided however that such Noteholder may not be named or otherwise identified without the prior written consent of such Noteholder unless required by law or by a judicial, administrative, legislative or regulatory body.  The Company covenants and represents and warrants that no exchange and consent agreement, or other agreement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, with any other holder of Notes shall be more beneficial to such holder than the terms and conditions of this Agreement are to the Noteholders.  If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the consummation of the Exchange, the Company shall take all steps necessary to permit the Noteholders to withdraw the tender of their Notes and revoke all consents given pursuant to this Agreement and the Solicitation and shall treat such tenders and consents as having not been given.

 

Section 1.02  Prohibition on Transfer of Notes.  Each Noteholder agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it shall not sell, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose, nor permit the sale, assignment, pledge, transfer or other disposition, of the Notes it beneficially owns, in whole or in part, or any interest therein, other than to tender them pursuant to the Exchange, unless the transferee thereof accepts such Notes subject to this Agreement and agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Noteholder, and such writing is provided to the Company promptly.  Furthermore, each Noteholder agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, any additional Notes that such Noteholder acquires, purchases or otherwise beneficially owns shall be subject to this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, “beneficially owns” means the power, whether by contract or otherwise, to direct the exercise of the voting rights and the disposition of the Notes or the right to acquire such rights for no additional consideration within one Business Day, including without limitation pursuant to the terms of a swap agreement.  “Business Day” means any day of the year other than a Saturday or Sunday or any day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed.

Section 1.03  Conditions; Waiver of Conditions.  The obligation of the Company to accept for exchange Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Exchange shall be subject to only the following conditions (the “Conditions”): (i) not less than 82.5% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes having been validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration time for the Exchange, (ii) the Amendment having been executed and being effective, (iii) any registration statement required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in respect of the Exchange having been declared effective by the SEC and the indenture governing the Exchange Notes having been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and (iv)  no order, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, stay, decree, judgment or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, issued, promulgated or enforced by any court or governmental authority that prohibits the consummation of the Exchange on, or consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall have occurred and remain in effect.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that each of the Conditions is satisfied in connection with the Exchange.  The Company shall not (i) waive any of the foregoing conditions to the consummation of the Exchange or (ii) amend any of the terms or conditions of the Exchange or the form of Amendment approved by the Noteholders or (to the extent the Noteholders have elected to review and approve such portion of the Solicitation materials) other portions of the Solicitation materials relating to the terms and conditions of the Exchange approved by the Noteholders, in each case without the prior written consent of each of the Noteholders.

 

Section 1.04  Mutual Assurances. The Company and the Noteholders hereby covenant to one another to use their commercially reasonable best efforts, as expeditiously as possible and during the term of this Agreement, to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and take such actions as may be reasonably necessary under this Agreement to consummate the Exchange.  The parties further agree to take such other actions as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to carry out the foregoing and to effectuate the Exchange and evidence the Noteholders’ support of the Exchange and the Amendment including, but not limited to, the execution and delivery of any transmittal letters, written consents or other similar documents containing customary terms and provisions.

(v)  upon the occurrence of a Material Event; or

 

(vi)  upon the occurrence or during the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Indenture; or

 

(d) as to any particular Noteholder, upon the transfer of all Notes subject to this agreement by such Noteholder pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.02 of this Agreement; or

2

 

Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 2.07(e), Section 2.07(f), Section 8.13(c) or Section 9.12(d) of the Credit Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the redetermination specified in this Section 3 shall not constitute an Interim Redetermination initiated by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders.

 

Section 4.              Assignments, New Lenders and Reallocation of Commitments and Loans.  Each Lender party to the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (used herein as defined below) has, in consultation with the Borrower, agreed to reallocate its respective Maximum Credit Amount and Commitment and to, among other things, allow Barclays Bank PLC, Branch Banking and Trust Company, IberiaBank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA., Sovereign Bank, N.A. and Texas Capital Bank, N.A. to become parties to the Credit Agreement as Lenders, (collectively, the “New Lenders” and each a “New Lender”) by acquiring an interest in the total Maximum Credit Amounts and Commitments.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrower hereby consent to such reallocation and each New Lender’s acquisition of an interest in the Maximum Credit Amounts and Commitments.  On the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and after giving effect to such reallocations, the Maximum Credit Amounts and Commitment of each Lender (including the New Lenders) shall be as set forth on Annex I to this Fourth Amendment, which Annex I supersedes and replaces Annex I to the Credit Agreement, and each New Lender shall become a party to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment, as a “Lender” and have all of the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment, and the other Loan Documents.  With respect to such reallocation, each New Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Maximum Credit Amount and Commitment allocated to it from one or more existing Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement attached as Exhibit D to the Credit Agreement as if the New Lenders and such existing Lenders executed an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such allocation.  Notwithstanding Section 12.04(b)(ii)(C), the Lenders deemed to be parties to such Assignment Agreements shall not be required to pay a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent. On the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall take the actions specified in Section 12.04(b)(v), including recording the assignments described herein in the Register, and such assignments shall be effective for purposes of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 5.             Conditions Precedent.  This Fourth Amendment shall not become effective until the date on which each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 12.02 of the Credit Agreement) (the “Fourth Amendment Effective Date”):

 

5.1          The Administrative Agent shall have received from all the Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantors, counterparts (in such number as may be requested by the Administrative Agent) of this Fourth Amendment signed on behalf of such Person.

 

5.2          The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable on or prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

 

5.3          The Administrative Agent shall have received new duly executed Notes payable to the order of Barclays Bank PLC, Branch Banking and Trust Company, IberiaBank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA., Royal Bank of Canada, Sovereign Bank, N.A. and Texas Capital Bank, N.A., to the extent requested by each such Lender, in a principal amount equal to the applicable new Maximum Credit Amount of such Lender, dated as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

5.4          No Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

 

5.5          The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that Legacy Reserves Operating LP is concurrently consummating the Acquisition in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Documents (with all of the material conditions precedent thereto having been satisfied in all material respects by the parties thereto) and acquiring substantially all of the Properties contemplated by the Acquisition Documents.

 

5.6          The Administrative Agent shall have received, together with title information previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, satisfactory title information on at least 80% of the total value of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries after giving effect to the Acquisition.

 

5.7          The Administrative Agent shall have received duly executed and notarized deeds of trust and/or mortgages or supplements to existing deeds of trust and/or mortgages in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to the extent necessary so that the Mortgaged Properties represent at least 80% of the total value of the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries after giving effect to the Acquisition.

 

5.8          The Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents as the Administrative Agent or its special counsel may reasonably require.

 

The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to declare this Fourth Amendment to be effective when it has received documents confirming or certifying, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 5 or the waiver of such conditions as permitted in Section 12.02 of the Credit Agreement.  Such declaration shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties to the Credit Agreement for all purposes.

 

Section 6.  Miscellaneous.

 

6.1          Confirmation.  The provisions of the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect following the effectiveness of this Fourth Amendment.

 

6.2          Ratification and Affirmation; Representations and Warranties.  Each Obligor hereby (a) acknowledges the terms of this Fourth Amendment; (b) ratifies and affirms its obligations under, and acknowledges its continued liability under, each Loan Document to which it is a party and agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party remains in full force and effect as expressly amended hereby; (c) represents and warrants to the Lenders that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the terms of this Fourth Amendment:  (i) all of the representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct, except to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such specified earlier date, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) no event or events have occurred which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) agrees that from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date each reference to the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan

 

4

 

Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment.

 

6.3          Counterparts.  This Fourth Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of this Fourth Amendment by telecopy, facsimile, email or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

6.4          No Oral Agreement.  This Fourth Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith and therewith represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or unwritten oral agreements of the parties.  There are no subsequent oral agreements between the parties.

 

6.5          GOVERNING LAW.  THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

 

6.6          Payment of Expenses.  In accordance with Section 12.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this Fourth Amendment, any other documents prepared in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

 

6.7          Severability.  Any provision of this Fourth Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

6.8          Successors and Assigns.  This Fourth Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
