Re: Waiver and Amendments
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated
as of March 31, 2000 (as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended,
restated, renewed, replaced, substituted, supplemented, extended, or otherwise
modified, the "Credit Agreement"), by and between DELTA ▇▇▇▇▇, INC. ("Borrower")
and GMAC COMMERCIAL FINANCE LLC, as successor by merger with GMAC COMMERCIAL
CREDIT LLC, as a lender and as agent for the lenders party to the Credit
Agreement from time to time (in such capacity, "Agent").
Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that Borrower has
failed to comply with Section 6.9 of the Credit Agreement ( EBITDA) for the four
quarter period ended as of the last day of Borrower's Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year
2005 and as a result of such noncompliance, an Event of Default had occurred and
is continuing under Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement (the "Existing
Default")
Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders agree to waive the
Existing Default and make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement as
hereinafter provided. Agent and Lenders have agreed to accommodate Borrower's
request subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, all as more
particularly set forth below.
In consideration of the foregoing, and for good and other valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used in this Letter re: Waiver and
Amendments (this "Agreement") and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
2. WAIVER.
A. MINIMUM EBITDA. Agent and Lenders hereby waive the Event of
Default occurring under Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement arising solely from
Borrower's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 6.9 of the Credit
Agreement as of the last day of Borrower's Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2005,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and provided that no other
Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing.
B. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Agent and Lenders hereby reserve all
rights and remedies granted to Agent and Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the
Other Documents, applicable law or otherwise and nothing contained herein shall
be construed to limit, impair or otherwise affect the right of Agent to declare
a Default or an Event of Default with respect to any non-compliance with the
Credit Agreement or the Other Documents of which Agent does not have knowledge
as of the date hereof and any future non-compliance with any covenant, term or
provision of the Credit Agreement, the Other Documents or any other document now
or hereafter executed and delivered in connection therewith. Without limiting
the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall, or shall be deemed to, waive any
Default or Event of Default that Borrower has failed to disclose to Agent as of
the date hereof.
3. WAIVER FEE. In consideration of the waiver agreed to by Agent
hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Agent a waiver fee in the amount of $10,000
(the "Waiver Fee"). The Waiver Fee shall be fully earned and due on the date
hereof, and shall not be subject to refund, rebate or proration for any reason
whatsoever. Agent shall charge the Waiver Fee to Client's account as of the date
hereof.
4. APPLICABLE MARGIN FOR EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. The definition of
"Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans" set forth in Section 1.2 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as
follows:
"Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans" shall mean
four percent (4%)."
5. SUPPLEMENTAL AMOUNT. Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended by the addition thereto of the following term:
"Supplemental Amount" means (i) $3,000,000 through and until
February 28, 2006, and (ii) $0 thereafter.
6. TOTAL REVOLVING ADVANCES. The first two sentences of Section 2.1(a)
of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows:
"2.1 (a) Total Revolving Advances. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender, severally and
not jointly, shall make Revolving Advances to Borrower in
aggregate amounts outstanding at any time not greater than such
Lender's Commitment Percentage of the lesser of (x) the Maximum
Loan Amount, less the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding
Letters of Credit, and (y) an amount equal to the sum of:
(i) ninety percent (90%) ("Receivables Advance Rate") of
Eligible Receivables; plus
(ii) fifty percent ("Inventory Advance Rate", and, together
with the Receivables Advance Rate, the "Advance Rates") of the
value of Eligible Inventory, it being acknowledged by Borrower
that Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish
from time to time limits on the maximum amount of Revolving
Advances made in respect of Eligible Inventory; plus
(iii) the Supplemental Amount; minus
(iv) the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of
Credit; minus
(v) Reserves.
The amount derived from the sum of 2.1(a)(y)(i), plus
2.1(a)(y)(ii), plus 2.1(a)(y)(iii), minus 2.1(a)(y) (iv) and
minus 2.1(a)(y)(v) at any time and from time to time shall be
referred to herein as the "Formula Amount"."
7. ACCOMMODATION FEE. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by the
addition of the following as paragraph (b) of Section 3.3 thereof and
the amendment of the title of Section 3.3 to read "Commitment Fee;
Accommodation Fee":
"(b) Borrower shall pay Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders,
a fee of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) for each calendar month (or
portion thereof) during the Term (but not in excess of $30,000 for any
calendar month) in which the outstanding Revolving Advances exceed, on
any three or more days during such month, the following: the sum of
Section 2.1(a)(y)(i), plus Section 2.1(a)(y)(ii), minus Section
2.1(a)(y)(iv) and minus Section 2.1(a)(y)(v). Agent shall charge such
fee to Borrower's account on the first day of each calendar month for
the preceding month, if applicable."
8. EBITDA COVENANT. Section 6.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
"6.9 EBITDA. Maintain, as of the last day of each
fiscal quarter of Borrower in Fiscal Year 2006, EBITDA (calculated
quarterly on a trailing 12-month basis) of not less than the following:
Fiscal Quarter 1: ($3,100,000)
Fiscal Quarter 2: ($1,000,000)
Fiscal Quarter 3: $900,000
Fiscal Quarter 4: $2,400,000.
The failure of Agent and Borrower to execute a written amendment hereto
establishing an EBITDA covenant for the period subsequent to Borrower's
2006 Fiscal Year shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder."
9. VARIANCES FROM OPERATING BUDGET. Section 9.13 of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"9.13 Variances from Operating Budget. Furnish Agent and each of the
Lenders, concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements
referred to in Sections 9.7, 9.8 and 9.9, respectively, a written
report summarizing all material variances from budgets submitted by
Borrower pursuant to Section 9.12 and a discussion and analysis by
management with respect to such variances."
10. TERMINATION OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN. Borrower has requested
that Agent and Lender consent to the termination of, and payout of all accounts
under, the deferred compensation plan of Borrower and Guarantor (the "Deferred
Compensation Plan"). Borrower represents to Agent and the Lenders that the
balances allocable to the employees of Borrower under the Deferred Compensation
Plan as of July 2, 2005 were as set forth on the list of "Delta Woodside
Deferred Compensation Balances as of 7/2/05" submitted by Borrower to Agent.
Subject to the representation of Borrower in the preceding sentence being
materially correct, Agent, in its capacity both as Agent and as Lender, consents
to the termination and payout, by Borrower and Guarantor, of all accounts under
the Deferred Compensation Plan.
11. NO OTHER MODIFICATIONS. Except as specifically set forth herein, no
other changes or modifications to the Credit Agreement or the Other Documents
are intended or implied, and, in all other respects, the Credit Agreement and
the Other Documents shall continue to remain in full force and effect in
accordance with their respective terms as of the date hereof. Except as
specifically set forth herein, nothing contained herein shall evidence a waiver
by Agent or Lenders of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or the Other
Documents nor shall anything contained herein be construed as a consent by Agent
or Lenders to any transaction other than that specifically consented to herein.
12. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
(a) Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that all
Obligations of Borrower in respect of Revolving Advances, Letters of Credit,
accrued and unpaid interest, and costs, fees, expenses and other sums and
