WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders are parties to the Amended and Restated Financing Agreement dated as of April 1, 2005 (as amended to date, the “Financing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make certain term loans and revolving loans to the Borrowers from time to time in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the aggregate amount set forth in the Financing Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Borrowers have (a) notified the Lenders that the Tudor Notes and the EFG Notes have been amended and restated in their entirety and were replaced with new notes, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “New Subordinate Notes”) and (b) requested that the Lenders (i) waive any Event of Default that might otherwise arise under Section 8.01(d) of the Financing Agreement as a result of the Borrowers’ amending and restating the Tudor Notes and the EFG Note in violation of Section 6.02(r) of the Financing Agreement and (ii) amend Section 6.03(a) of the Financing Agreement; and based upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders have agreed to such waiver;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.1 Definitions in Third Amendment. Any capitalized term used herein and not defined shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Financing Agreement.
1.2 Amendment to the Financing Agreement. Section 6.03(a) of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“(a) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, at the end of the fiscal quarter of the Parent and its Subsidiaries at the end of any fiscal quarter of the Parent and its Subsidiaries to be less than 1.0 to 1.0; provided that for the purpose of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Parent and its Subsidiaries ending December 31, 2007, the payment of $212,500 required to be made by the Borrower under Section 2.02(c) of this Agreement shall be excluded from clause (ii)(A) of the definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.”
2. Waiver and Consent.
(a) Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Lenders consent to, and waive any Event of Default that would otherwise arise under Section 8.01(d) the Financing Agreement as a result of the Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 6.02(r) of the Financing Agreement due to the amendment and restatement of the Tudor Note and the EFG Notes and the replacement of such notes with the New Subordinated Notes.
(b) The waiver in this Section 2 shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth herein and does not allow for any other or further departure from the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, which terms and conditions shall continue in full force and effect.
