Exhibit 10.30

 

FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT

 

This Forbearance Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the 14th day of July, 2003, by and among Amerivision Communications, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“Borrower”); and Continental Business Credit (“Continental”); Textron Financial Corporation (“Textron”); Republic Financial Corporation, a Colorado corporation and LINC Credit, L.L.C. (hereafter Republic and LINC are collectively referred to as “LINC” or “Agent”), a Delaware limited liability company and successor-in-interest to Coast Business Credit (“Coast”), a division of Southern Pacific Bank (“SPB”), a California corporation (Continental, Textron, and LINC are, together, the “Lenders”).

 

A. Borrower is indebted to Lenders, as evidenced by (i) that Loan and Security Agreement, and (ii) that Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement, both dated February 4, 1999, and as amended from time to time, executed by Borrower in favor of Coast and the various other parties thereto.

 

B. The loan documents described in the foregoing Recital, together with any documents executed pursuant thereto or hereto, are referred to collectively as the “Loan Documents”; the credit facility and related obligation(s) described in the Loan Documents are referred to collectively as the “Loan”.

 

C. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was appointed receiver of SPB on or about February 7, 2003. On or about May 13, 2003, Coast’s position in the Loan was sold to LINC.

 

D. The Loan matured by its terms on May 31, 2003 (the “Maturity Date”), and all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest and expenses thereunder (the “Obligations”) are currently due and payable in full. Under the terms of the Loan Documents, Lenders are presently entitled to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents, including without limitation, demanding payment of all Obligations, refusing to provide additional financial accommodations to the Borrower and/or enforcement of the Lenders’ liens on and security interest in the Collateral.

 

E. Borrower has requested that Lenders conditionally and temporarily forbear in the exercise of remedies on certain terms and conditions. Borrower has brought a lawsuit against Lenders in the Oklahoma County District Court, case number CJ-2003-5886, State of Oklahoma, in which it seeks legal and equitable relief against the Lenders for various alleged unlawful and unauthorized acts against the Borrower and its interests and the interests of others, as outlined the Borrower’s Verified Petition. Lenders, while denying the jurisdiction and venue of the Oklahoma County District Court, deny the allegations of the Borrower and deny that Borrower is entitled to the requested relief.

Advances shall be made by Agent by 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time the next business day following Agent’s receipt of a formal draw request from Borrower in the manner specified in the Loan Documents and in form and content acceptable to Agent; provided, such draw request is received by Agent before 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time on a regular business day.

4



 

not be disclosed to any other third party without Borrowers written consent, except when such information is disclosed by Lenders to further the legitimate business interests of Lenders, and the party to whom such information is disclosed agrees to be bound by the terms of this sentence.

 

7. Refinance, Re-capitalization or Sale of Borrower. Borrower has advised Lenders that Borrower’s strategy to repay Lenders is based upon the intended refinancing, recapitalization or sale of Borrower. Lenders’ agreement to enter into this Agreement is in material part based upon Borrower’s representations to Lenders in this regard and upon Borrower’s diligent and continuous work to arrange such refinancing, re-capitalization or sale. In this regard, Borrower hereby covenants that it will perform the following as evidence of its work to arrange such a transaction:

 

a. By the date this Agreement is executed, Borrower will retain a restructuring consultant or chief restructuring officer acceptable to Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower has retained Blumberg Investments as such restructuring consultant/chief restructuring officer, and hereby accepts such retention and acknowledges that requirements of this subsection have been satisfied.

 

b. ensure that Blumberg Investments, or a replacement chief restructuring officer reasonably acceptable to Lenders, and Borrower’s president provide weekly written and verbal updates to Lenders regarding the status of their work, including, but not limited to, detail on company operations, persons contacted relative to refinancing, re-capitalization and sale proposals, status of discussions with those persons, and plans for further action.

 

c. reasonably accommodate Lenders’ auditors who shall review the books and records of Borrower in a manner that does not materially interfere with Borrower’s normal operations.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that Lenders are under no obligation to release their security interest in Borrower’s assets or to compromise any of their indebtedness in connection with any refinancing, re-capitalization or sale of Borrower (unless any such transaction will involve the payment in full of the Obligations or any such arrangement which is acceptable to the parties or is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction).

 

8. Extension of Forbearance Period. Provided it has not terminated prior to September 30, 2003, the Forbearance Period shall be extended to November 30, 2003, on the following conditions:

 

a. Payment to Lenders of an extension fee in the sum of $150,000.00, which fee shall be deemed earned by Lenders as of October 1, 2003, but which will be payable by Borrower on December 1, 2003, or a date earlier which is mutually agreed to by the parties in writing. Borrower’s payment obligation under this

 

5



 

paragraph shall be excluded from any calculation regarding any covenant under the Loan Documents.

 

b. Lenders’ receipt of a signed Letter of Intent agreement between Borrower and one or more third parties an investor, group, or organization with assets and capabilities necessary to close by December 1, 2003 (or such other date as agreed in writing between the parties) a transaction of at least $15 million that provides for payment of the Loan to Lenders in full, and which is supported by evidence, satisfactory to Lenders, of the third party(s)’ financial ability to close such a transaction, including financial statements, bank statements, references and such other information as Lenders may reasonably request. While Lenders may agree to a compromise of the Obligations if they so elect in writing in their absolute discretion, Lenders shall not otherwise be obligated to release their security interest in Borrower’s assets except upon payment in full of the Obligations.

 

9. Use of Collateral. During the Forbearance Period, Borrower shall not (i) use or dispose of any of the Collateral outside the ordinary course of business, (ii) make any payment or distribution to any shareholder of Borrower, (iii) purchase treasury stock, or (iv) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any equipment (including equipment held for sale or lease) without the prior written consent of Agent regardless of whether such sale, lease or disposition is in the ordinary course of business. All proceeds from Borrower’s sale, lease or other disposition of equipment (including equipment held for resale) shall be paid to Lenders.

 

10. Foreclosure. Lenders agree to provide Borrower two (2) business days notice of Lenders’ intention to foreclose on and remove any Equipment or Inventory (as such terms are defined in the Loan Documents) located at Borrower’s offices in Oklahoma City and Talequah, Oklahoma. Borrower agrees that, following the expiration or earlier termination of the Forbearance Period, Lenders may dispose of some or all of the personal property included in the Collateral at one or more private sales or public foreclosure sales (each a “Foreclosure Sale”), upon ten (10) days notice to Borrower. Borrower agrees that it will cooperate with Lenders in an orderly transfer of the personal property collateral pursuant to any such Foreclosure Sale. Borrower agrees that Lenders may convene any public Foreclosure Sale in the State of Oklahoma, provided that arrangements are made for the participation of interested parties by telephone conference. Any other requirements of prior notice with respect to the Foreclosure Sale, and any other requirement relating to the method, timing, advertisement or conduct of such Foreclosure Sale, are hereby waived, it being acknowledged that the Loan is in default. Borrower agrees that, following the expiration or earlier termination of the Forbearance Period, Borrower shall, if requested by Lenders, execute a deed in lieu of foreclosure in favor of Lenders in a form reasonably acceptable to Lenders. Borrower agrees that it will cooperate with Lenders in assembling the Collateral for the benefit of Lenders and in showing the Collateral to potential purchasers and in providing information to prospective purchasers regarding Borrower’s

 

6



 

operations and its use of the Collateral. The provisions of this paragraph shall not constitute a waiver of Borrowers rights under applicable Bankruptcy Law.

 

11. Lenders’ Right of Access. During the Forbearance Period, Borrower shall, during normal business hours, permit Lenders’ officers, auditors, outside consultants and other representatives (i) full and complete access to the books and records of Borrower, wherever located (but Borrower warrants and represents that all such records are and shall be maintained at Borrower’s main office), (ii) to discuss matters relevant to the Loan with Borrower’s present employees, accountants and other representatives, (provided that (A) such discussions are solely for purposes of verifying information relevant to the Loan, (B) such discussions are first approved by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of Borrower, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, and (C) Lenders’ employees, accountants and representatives agree to keep such discussions confidential as required by paragraph 6, above), (iii) to review any records or information that Lenders may deem relevant to the assessment of the status of the Loan and the Collateral, and (iv) to otherwise assess and investigate the status of the Collateral and the financial condition of Borrower.

 

12. No Conflicting Law or Agreement. Borrower warrants and represents that its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not constitute a breach of or default under, and will not violate or conflict with, any provisions of the constituent documents of Borrower; of any contract, financing agreement, lease, or other agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which its properties may be affected; or any law, regulation, judgment, order or decree to which Borrower is subject or by which its properties may be affected; nor will the same result in the creation or imposition of any encumbrance upon any properties of Borrower, other than those in favor of Lenders.

 

13. No Consent Required. Borrower warrants and represents that its execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement does not require the consent or approval of or the giving of notice to any person or entity except for those consents which have been duly and finally obtained and are in full force and effect.

 

14. Conditions to Closing. Borrower shall deliver the following documents to Agent, fully executed by all parties other than Agent and in form and substance acceptable to Agent and its counsel, as conditions to the effectiveness of the transactions described in this Agreement:

 

a.                                        This Agreement;

 

b.                                       An order entered by the Court in the Lawsuit dissolving the Temporary Restraining Order entered on July 8, 2003, and dismissing all of Borrower’s Claims in the Lawsuit with prejudice to refiling the same; and

 

c.              Such other documents as Lenders may reasonably require.

 

15.              Unconditional Full Release of All Claims and Defenses. In consideration of Lenders’ execution of this Agreement, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, and excepting

only the contractual obligations respecting future performance by Lenders arising under the Loan Documents and this Agreement, Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges the Lender Parties, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in its receivership capacity, Coast, and SPB, their agents, employees, officers, servants, and directors and all persons and entities in privity with them or any of them, of and from any and all Claims that Borrower may have against them as of the execution of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, Borrower further agrees that it shall forever refrain and forbear from commencing, instituting or prosecuting any lawsuit, action, or other proceeding, whether judicial, administrative or otherwise, or otherwise attempting to collect or enforce, any such released Claim and agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel satisfactory to Lenders) and hold harmless Lenders against any and all loss, liability, claim or expense, including attorneys’ fees, that it might incur as a result of any breach of this Section by Borrower or the assertion of any Claim or defense that exists by Borrower. As of the date of this Agreement, Borrower further waives any presently existing defenses against the payment and performance of all obligations (of every nature, character and description) to Lenders under the Loan Documents. Additionally, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is familiar with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows:

 

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

 

The Borrower hereby waives and relinquishes any rights and benefits which it may have under Section 1542.

 

16. No Alienation of Claims. Borrower warrants and represents to Lenders that Borrower has not granted or purported to grant to any other person or entity any interest whatsoever in any Claim, as security or otherwise, and that its execution hereof does not require the consent of or notice to any third party in order to be fully effective as to any Claim that may have existed in favor of Borrower at any time.
