BACKGROUND

 

A. On May 26, 2010, Borrowers, Guarantor, Lenders and Agent entered into a certain Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement to reflect certain financing arrangements  among the parties thereto (as the same has been or may be amended, modified, renewed, extended, replaced or substituted from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).  The Loan Agreement and all other documents executed in connection therewith are collectively referred to as the “Existing Financing Agreements.”  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

 

B. Borrowers have requested and the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to amend certain terms and provisions contained in the Loan Agreement, on the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Amendment.

 

NOW THEREFORE, with the foregoing background hereinafter deemed incorporated by reference herein and made part hereof, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, promise and agree as follows:

 

1. Section One.   Amendment to Section 1.2 of Loan Agreement.  Effective as of January 18, 2011, Section 1.2 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the term Availability Block in its entirety, and by substituting the following in lieu thereof:

 

“Availability Block” shall mean the sum of (i) $1,050,000 through and including February 4, 2011 and (ii) $1,500,000 on and after February 5, 2011, which amount shall be reduced to zero (-0-) on the date upon which the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A shall have been reduced by the aggregate sum of $1,500,000 pursuant to the application by the Agent against such principal balance, as and when received by the Agent, of (a) regularly scheduled payments of principal of Term Loan A made under Section 2.4(a) hereof and (b) mandatory prepayments of principal of Term Loan A made under Section 2.21(b) hereof.

 

  

  

  

 

2. Section Two.  Capital Event.  The Borrowers and Katy have advised the Agent and the Lenders of their intention to restore liquidity to their business operations by means of either a capital infusion, in the form of either equity or debt (collectively a “Capital Contribution”) or pursuant to a sale or other disposition of the assets and business which comprise the “Disco Division” (collectively a “Sale Event”, and together with the Capital Contribution, collectively a “Capital Event”).  In connection with the foregoing, the Borrowers and Katy hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

(a) Any such Capital Event shall be consummated no later than May 1, 2011, on terms and conditions (including without limitation all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any such Capital Event) satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders in their commercially reasonable judgment.  In connection therewith, all net cash proceeds of any Capital Event received by the Borrowers (or received by Katy and contributed to the Borrowers, as the case may be), on such date of consummation, but no later than May 1, 2011, shall be delivered to the Agent and applied against the Obligations in such order as the Agent shall determine.

 

(b) Without limiting the generality of the provisions contained in paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers, and Katy shall deliver to the Agent and the Lenders, for their satisfactory review, as and when available, but in any event no later than (i)) February 28, 2011, a binding commitment or letter of intent, in respect of either the Capital Contribution or the Sale Event, duly executed by the proposed investor, in the case of a Capital Contribution or the proposed purchaser, in the case of a Sale Event, as the case may be, pursuant to which the substantive terms and conditions of such Capital Contribution or Sale Event (as applicable) shall be set forth and (ii) March 31, 2011 substantially final drafts of the material documents, instruments and agreements to be executed or delivered in connection with such Capital Contribution or Sale Event, as the case may be.

 

(c) If such Capital Event is in the form of a Capital Contribution consisting of equity, such Capital Contribution may take the form of either common or preferred Equity Interests, but no such Equity Interests may be redeemed (either in whole or in part, and whether such redemption is voluntary or mandatory) until all of the Lenders’ commitments under the Loan Agreement have been terminated and all Obligations have been paid in full in cash.  All other terms and conditions of such Capital Contribution, including the identity of the equity investor, must be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders.

 

(d) If such Capital Event is in the form of a Capital Contribution consisting of indebtedness, such indebtedness must be unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations.  All of the terms and conditions of such Capital Contribution, including the terms of subordination thereof and the identity of the debt investor, must be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders.

 

(e) The Borrowers and Katy acknowledge and confirm their agreement that a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions contained in this Section Two shall constitute an Event of Default.

3. Section Three.  Representations and Warranties.  Each Borrower hereby:

(f) represents and warrants that this Amendment and all assignments, instruments, documents, and agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith, are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
