““Liquidity”  means, as of any date of determination, the sum of (i) the average daily aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents maintained by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties for the preceding period of three (3) Business Days then ending as reflected on the balance sheet of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties as of the close of business on each Business Day during such period plus (ii) the average maximum amount of Revolving Loans that could have been advanced as of the close of business on each Business Day during such period.”

““Second Amendment Effective Date” means April 29, 2020.”

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

(ii)              Section 6.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting said Section in its entirety and inserting the following text in lieu thereof:

“(a) Commencing with the Q4-2017 Test Period, the Borrower shall not permit the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio on the last day of each Test Period to be greater than 5.25:1.00 if, as of the last day of such Test Period, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of (a) Revolving Loans, (b) Letters of Credit (but excluding (i) all Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized and (ii) up to $2,500,000 of undrawn Letters of Credit) and/or (c) unreimbursed obligations with respect to drawn Letters of Credit, in each case then outstanding, exceeds (or exceeded) 25% of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments in effect on such date (the “Financial Covenant Test Criteria”, and each last day of the Test Periods described above on which the Financial Covenant Test Criteria are met, a “Financial Covenant Test Date”); provided that, (i) so long as the Borrower has not made any Restricted Junior Payments after the Second Amendment Effective Date (other than Restricted Junior Payments pursuant to Section 6.4(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)), the Financial Covenant set forth in this Section 6.7(a) shall not apply and shall not be tested for any Test Period ending during the Covenant Waiver Period, and (ii) so long as the Borrower has not made any Restricted Junior Payments after the Second Amendment Effective Date (other than (x)  Restricted Junior Payments pursuant to Section 6.4(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) or (y)  other Restricted Junior Payments permitted hereunder where after giving pro forma effect thereto, Liquidity is equal to or greater than $12,000,000),  solely for purposes of calculating First Lien Net Leverage Ratio pursuant to this Section 6.7(a) after the expiration of the Covenant Waiver Period,  Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for each of the Fiscal Quarters ending March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 shall be deemed to be the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA set forth in the Compliance Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 5.1(e) for the Fiscal Quarter ended December 31, 2019.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(e) in respect of any Test Period that includes any of the Fiscal Quarters ending during the Covenant Waiver Period in such calculation shall include calculations necessary to determine the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as adjusted in accordance with the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence and the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as if such ratio had not been adjusted in accordance with the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence.    For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Financial Covenant set forth in this Section 6.7 shall not apply, and shall not be tested, if the Financial Covenant Test Criteria are not met as of the last date of the applicable Test Period and (ii) the adjustment of the Financial Covenant set forth in the proviso of the first sentence of this paragraph shall cease to apply upon the delivery of the audited financial statements and the related Compliance Certificate for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2021 pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(c).

(b) (i) For the period commencing with the last Business Day of the first full calendar month ending during the Covenant Waiver Period through and including the last day of the Covenant Waiver Period, on the last Business Day of each calendar month during such period regardless of whether the Financial Covenant Test Criteria are met and (ii) for the period commencing with the last day of the Test Period ending March 31, 2021 through and including September 30, 2021, to the extent the Financial Covenant Test Criteria are met, on each Financial Covenant Testing Date (each such date in clause (i) or (ii), a  “Minimum Liquidity Reporting Date”), the Borrower will not permit Liquidity to be less than $12,000,000 (the “Minimum Liquidity Requirement”); provided that, for each period the Minimum Liquidity Requirement is required to be tested, within three  (3) Business Days following each Minimum Liquidity Reporting Date, the Borrower shall

2

 


 

 

deliver to the Administrative Agent, a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower evidencing compliance with the Minimum Liquidity Requirement as of such Minimum Liquidity Reporting Date and setting forth such cash balances in reasonable detail.”

(iii)              Section 8.1(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting said Section in its entirety and inserting the following text in lieu thereof:

“(c)      Breach of Negative Covenants or Financial Covenant.  Failure of any Credit Party to perform or comply with (i) any term or condition contained in Section 6 (other than Section 6.7) or (ii) any term or condition contained in Section 6.7 (any such failure to observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in Section 6.7, a “Financial Covenant Event of Default”); provided that a Financial Covenant Event of Default shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to Term Lenders (in their capacity as such) or Term Loans, Term Loan Commitments or Term Loan Exposure unless and until the date on which the Revolving Lenders have actually terminated the Revolving Credit Commitments and declared all Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposure to be immediately due and payable in accordance with this Agreement (a “Financial Covenant Cross Default”); or”

B.         Conditions Precedent.  This Second Amendment shall become effective as of the first date (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”) when each of the conditions set forth in this Section B shall have been satisfied:

6.    Entire Agreement. This Second Amendment, the Credit Agreement (as modified hereby) and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

7.    GOVERNING LAW.
