WHEREAS, as previously reported by the Borrower in Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 17, 2015, March 23, 2015, June 9, 2015 and August 17, 2015 the Borrower will be restating certain previously filed financial statements and other financial data as a result of various accounting issues and related matters, the Borrower also has not yet filed financial statements for the third quarter of 2014, the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014, or the first and second quarters of 2015, and the Borrower anticipates that it will not be able to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015;

 

WHEREAS, as disclosed by the Borrower in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 21, 2015, the Borrower believes that the earliest it will likely commence making its filings with the SEC is the first quarter of 2016; and

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested a waiver of certain Events of Default that have occurred, may have occurred or are anticipated to occur under the Credit Agreement, and the Lenders have agreed to the requested waiver on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein without other definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

2.                                      Estoppel, Acknowledgement and Reaffirmation.  Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and confirms that as of the date hereof (a) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans is $203,906,250 and (b) the Total Revolving Usage is $146,300,000, each of which amounts constitutes a valid and subsisting obligation of the Loan Parties to the Lenders that is not subject to any credits, offsets, defenses, claims, counterclaims or adjustments of any kind (it being understood that the undrawn portion of the Stated Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit included in the Total Revolving Usage, if any, constitutes a contingent obligation for so long as the Loan Parties are not required to cash collateralize such obligation in accordance with the Credit Agreement).  Each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges its obligations under the respective Loan Documents to which it is a party, reaffirms that

 

 

each of the Liens created and granted in or pursuant to the Collateral Documents is valid and subsisting and agrees that this Amendment shall in no manner impair or otherwise adversely affect such obligations or Liens, except as explicitly set forth herein.

 

3.                                      Statement of Defaults and Potential Defaults.  The following Events of Default exist, may exist or are anticipated to occur:

 

3.1                               Leverage Ratio.  The Borrower may have failed to maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 that is in compliance with Section 8.09 of the Credit Agreement, which failure would constitute an Event of Default under Section 9.01(c) of the Credit Agreement (the “Potential Leverage Ratio Event of Default”).

 

3.2                               Materially Incorrect Representation.  On October 1, 2015, the Borrower submitted to the Agent a Notice of Borrowing that may have contained a materially incorrect representation as to the Borrower’s compliance with Section 8.09 of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015, which misrepresentation would constitute an Event of Default under Section 9.01(b) of the Credit Agreement (the “Potential October 1, 2015 Notice of Borrowing Event of Default”).

 

3.3                               Prior Financial Information.  The Borrower has notified the Agent that it has failed to deliver the Financial Information (as defined in the First Amendment and Waiver) to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders on or before October 30, 2015 as required by Section 4.2(b) of the Second Amendment and Waiver, which failure constitutes an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2(b) of the Second Amendment and Waiver (the “Financial Information Event of Default”).

 

3.4                               September 30, 2015 Financial Information. The Borrower has notified the Agent that it anticipates failing to timely deliver the following (the “September 30, 2015 Financial Information”):  (i) the financial information and other materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2015 and (ii) a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.02(b) for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2015, which failures would each constitute an Event of Default under Section 9.01(d) of the Credit Agreement following notice to the Borrower by the Agent or any Lender and the expiration of the applicable cure period (individually and collectively, the “Anticipated September 30, 2015 Financial Information Event of Default”).

 

3.5                               Forms 10-K and 10-Q Annual and Quarterly Reports.  The Borrower has notified the Agent that it has failed and anticipates failing, as the case may be, to timely furnish its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014 to the holders of the notes and trustee under the Indenture and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to the holders of the notes and trustee under the Indenture for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2014, March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, which failures would constitute Events of Default under Section 9.01(e)(ii) of the Credit Agreement following appropriate notice to the Borrower and the expiration of the applicable cure period as provided in the Indenture (the “Potential Indenture Cross-Defaults”).

 

3.6                               Tax Filings.  The Borrower has notified the Agent that it has failed to timely file its 2014 Federal tax return that was due November 2, 2015, which failure would give rise to an Event of Default under Section 9.01(b) on any date that the Borrower makes the representations and warranties contemplated by Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement, and which failure would constitute an Event of Default under Section 9.01(d) of the Credit Agreement, due to the Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 7.07 of the Credit Agreement, following notice to the Borrower by the Agent or any Lender and the expiration of the applicable cure period (the “Tax Filings Events of Default”).

 

 

4.                                      Waiver of Events of Default.

 

4.1                               Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders waive the Potential Leverage Ratio Event of Default, the Potential October 1, 2015 Notice of Borrowing Event of Default, the Financial Information Event of Default, the Anticipated September 30, 2015 Financial Information Event of Default, the Potential Indenture Cross-Defaults and the Tax Filings Events of Default (collectively, the “Waived Events of Default”).

 

4.2                               It is acknowledged and agreed that:

 

(a)                                 The waiver set forth in Section 4.1 is a one-time waiver limited exclusively to the Waived Events of Default and shall not be construed to be a waiver of, or in any way obligate the Lenders to waive, any other Default or Event of Default that may have occurred or that may occur after the date hereof;

 

(b)                                 On or before December 18, 2015, the Borrower shall deliver the Financial Information and the September 30, 2015 Financial Information to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders, and any failure to deliver any of the Financial Information or the September 30, 2015 Financial Information on or prior to such date shall constitute a new and immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement without regard to any otherwise applicable notice, cure or grace period;

 

(c)                                  Any receipt by the Borrower of an Indenture Notice (as defined in the First Amendment and Waiver) that an “Event of Default” under section 6.01(v) of the Indenture has occurred as a result of the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver to holders of the notes and the trustee under the Indenture its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 shall constitute a new and immediate Event of Default without regard to any otherwise applicable notice or cure or grace period; provided that receipt of such an Indenture Notice shall not constitute an Event of Default if it is withdrawn (and not reinstated) within 30 days after such receipt,

 

(d)                                 On or before March 31, 2016, the Borrower shall have filed its 2014 Federal tax return, and any failure to do so shall constitute a new and immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement without regard to any otherwise applicable notice, cure or grace period; and

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding the waiver set forth herein, the assessment of any governmental levies or encumbrances upon the Borrower or its assets that arise as a result of the Borrower’s failure to timely file its 2014 Federal tax return that was due November 2, 2015 shall constitute a new and immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement without regard to any otherwise applicable notice, cure or grace period.

 

5.                                      Effect of Maximum Inventory Change Method Adjustments and Add-back of Professional Fees and Expenses.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that had the maximum amount of inventory valuation adjustments (and/or reductions in the calculated valuation of inventory) resulting from the Inventory Change in Method to be added to Consolidated Net Income in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA as set forth in clause (i)(i) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA contained in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement been set at “$27,200,000” rather than “$20 million”, then the Borrower would have maintained a Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 that was in compliance with Section 8.09 of the Credit Agreement.

 

 

6.                                      Additional Restrictions and Provisions Pending Certain Deliveries.

(f)                                   No approval, consent, exemption, authorization or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any court Governmental Authority or any other Person (except those that have been obtained and remain in effect and disclosure filings that are required to be made with the SEC) is necessary or required to be made or obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, such Loan Party of this Amendment.

(h)                                 The Liens held by the Agent in the Collateral continue to be valid, binding and enforceable perfected Liens in accordance with the Collateral Documents that secure the Obligations subject only to the Permitted Liens.

19.                               Governing Law.  This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York

Each of the Loan Parties agrees to execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed and delivered, all such instruments that are consistent with the terms of this Amendment as may reasonably be requested by the Agent to effectuate the intent and purposes, and to carry out the terms, of this Amendment.

 

22.                               Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

 

(b)                                 Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.

 

(c)                                  Except as otherwise provided in this Amendment, if any provision contained in this Amendment is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in the Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Amendment shall govern and control.
