BACKGROUND

 

A.    Borrower, Subsidiary Guarantor, and Administrative Agent have executed that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 1, 2005, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) dated as of June 30, 2006  and further amended by the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) dated as of August 30, 2008 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Borrower has executed and delivered to Bank of America, N.A., as a Lender, a certain Promissory Note dated September 1, 2005, in the original principal amount of $11,250,000.00, made payable to the order of Bank of America, N.A. (as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Note”).

 

B.    Subsidiary Guarantor also executed and delivered to Administrative Agent that certain Guaranty Agreement dated as of September 1, 2005 (as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment, the “Guaranty”).  The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantor arising under the Guaranty are secured by, among other things, that certain Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Leases, Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Financing Statement dated September 1, 2005, executed by Borrower for the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, recorded as Instrument No. 2005-174 01724 in the Real Property Records of Dallas County, Texas (as amended, the “Deed of Trust”).

 

C.    The Credit Agreement, the Note, the Guaranty, the Deed of Trust, and all other documents or instruments executed in connection therewith are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Loan Documents”.  All capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.

 

D.    The maturity date of the Loan is October 30, 2008 and  Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor have requested that Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to extend the maturity date of the Loan for a period of ten (10) months.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, conditions and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are all hereby acknowledged, Borrower, Administrative Agent and Subsidiary Guarantor covenant and agree as follows:

1.     EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE.  Hereinafter, the term “Maturity Date” and all other references to the maturity date of the Loan, in the Note and the other Loan Documents shall mean August 30, 2009.  The unpaid principal balance of the Loan, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, as extended hereby. Borrower hereby renews, but does not extinguish, the Note and the liens, security interests and assignments created and evidenced by the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and all of the Loan Documents are hereby renewed and modified by extending the maturity date thereof as set forth above.  The extension evidenced by this Agreement shall constitute the exercise of Borrower’s extension option pursuant to Section 1.5 of the Credit Agreement, notwithstanding that the terms of such extension option have not been satisfied.  Borrower and Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge that, from and after the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall have no further right or option to extend the Maturity Date.

 

2.     FEES AND EXPENSES.  Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall (i) pay to Administrative Agent all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in respect of the preparation and recordation of this Agreement; and (ii) pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the sum of $70,312.50 (the “Extension Fee”), representing the extension fee payable by Borrower to the Lenders in connection with the extension of the Maturity Date of the Loan.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Extension Fee is a bona fide fee and is intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for agreeing to extend the Maturity Date of the Loan.

Commencing on the date of this Amendment, (i) the terms “Cash,” “Cash Equivalents,” and “Tangible Net Worth” are hereby deleted from the Credit Agreement, and (ii) the following capitalized terms shall have the meaning set forth below when used in the Credit Agreement, and to the extent such capitalized terms are also defined in the Credit Agreement, such definitions are amended by this Amendment:

Equity Investment” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect acquisition or investment by such Person, whether by means of (a) the purchase or other acquisition of capital stock or other securities of another Person, and (b) a loan, advance or capital contribution to, Guarantee or assumption of debt of, or purchase or other acquisition of any other debt or equity participation or interest in, another Person, including any partnership or joint venture interest in such other Person and any arrangement pursuant to which the investor Guarantees any Liabilities of such other Person.

 

GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States set forth in the opinions and pronouncements of the Accounting Principles Board and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and statements and pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or such other principles as may be approved by a significant segment of the accounting profession in the United States, that are applicable to the circumstances as of the date of determination, consistently applied.

1.12         Payment Schedule and Maturity Date.  The entire principal balance of the Loan then unpaid and all accrued interest then unpaid shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.  Accrued unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) calendar month after the Closing Date and on the same day of each succeeding calendar month thereafter until all principal and accrued interest owing on the Loan shall have been fully paid and satisfied.  Borrower agrees that on November 17, 2008, and on each of February 1, 2009, May 1, 2009 and August 1, 2009 thereafter, Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a principal payment in the amount of $400,000.

4.             WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.  To the extent that Borrower failed to satisfy the financial covenants in Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement for the calendar quarters ending on September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, hereby waives compliance by Guarantor of such financial covenants for such calendar quarters.  For purposes of determining the value of Borrower’s Assets, Borrower will obtain, within 90 days after the date of this Agreement, Current Appraisals (as defined above) for all real property which is owned, in whole or in part, by Borrower .

 

5.             REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor each hereby severally represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (a) to the best of  such party’s knowledge, the execution and delivery of this Third Amendment does not contravene, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any deed of trust, loan agreement, indenture or other contract or agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of the

 

9

Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor hereby ratify and acknowledge that the Loan Documents are valid, subsisting and enforceable and agree and warrant that there are no offsets, claims or defenses with respect to any of the Obligations.

 

7.             CONSENT AND RATIFICATION. Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranty and Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations, covenants, agreements and duties thereunder remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the modification of the Credit Agreement effected hereby.  Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably ratifies, reaffirms and confirms the Guaranty and its obligations thereunder.

9.             COUNTERPARTS.  This Third Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.  All such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument, but in making proof hereof it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart.
