Term Loan

This Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (this “Amendment”), dated effective as of April 2, 2012, is entered into by and among the borrowing entities identified on Schedule 1 attached hereto (jointly and severally, “Borrower”), DIVERSIFIED RESTAURANT HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation, acting as “Borrowing Agent” for Borrower, and RBS CITIZENS, N.A., a national banking association, and its successors and assigns (“Lender”).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

A.           The parties entered into a loan transaction under the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Credit Agreement dated May 5, 2010, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated June 7, 2011, by and among Borrower and Lender (the “Credit Agreement”) and the other Loan Documents (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement);

B.           In connection with the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, Borrower desires to refinance the outstanding amount due under the Credit Agreement as well as pay off outstanding seller and shareholder notes; and

C.           Lender and each Borrower have agreed to further amend the Credit Agreement to amend certain definitions in the Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Amendment agree as follows:

1.           Amendments.

“(a)           Amount of Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall make a loan to Borrower in the maximum principal amount of Sixteen Million and no/100 Dollars ($16,000,000.00 (the “Loan”), the proceeds of which shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower on the Closing Date.  Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Note”), with a maturity date of April 2, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

(b)           Payments.  Borrower shall pay eighty-four (84) principal payments in the amount of One Hundred Ninety Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Six and 19/100 Dollars ($190,476.19) plus accrued interest, payable on or before the 2nd day of each month, with the outstanding principal sum and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan to be paid in full on the Maturity Date.  Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to automatically deduct from RBS Citizens, NA deposit account #450549176 of Borrower the amount of any payment due hereunder or under the Note, including payments of interest, principal, and other sums.  If the funds in the account are insufficient to cover any payment due to Lender, Lender will not be obligated to advance funds to cover the payment.  Failure of Lender to charge any account or to give any notice shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to pay all amounts due hereunder or under the Note.”

 

 

(b)           A new Section 1(d) shall be added to the Credit Agreement to read as follows:

 

“(d)           LIBOR Rate Interest.

 

(i)  Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, when classified as a LIBOR Rate Loan, shall accrue during each LIBOR Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Interest Period plus the LIBOR Rate Margin and shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, and shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, with monthly principal payments in the amount as set forth in a written payment schedule provided by Lender to Borrower.  Interest shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.

 

(ii)  Automatic Rollover of LIBOR Rate Loan.  Upon the expiration of a LIBOR Interest Period, the LIBOR Rate Loan shall automatically be continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan at the then applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate and in an amount equal to the principal amount of the expiring LIBOR Rate Loan less any Principal Repayment Amount made by Borrower; provided, however, that no portion of the outstanding principal amount of a LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (if Lender does not otherwise elect to exercise any right to accelerate the Loan hereunder), the LIBOR Rate Loan shall automatically be continued as a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next Interest Period.

 

(iii)  Additional LIBOR Rate Terms Affecting the Loan.  Additional LIBOR Rate terms affecting the Loan are set forth on Schedule 1(d)(iii) attached hereto and made a part hereof.  Capitalized terms used and not defined in Schedule 1(d)(iii) shall have the meanings given to those terms in Section 10 of this Agreement.”

 

(c)           Current Section 1(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be renumbered and replaced with the following:

 

“(e)           Use of Proceeds.  Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) refinance the existing $6,000,000 development line of credit loan that converted into three (3) separate term loans in the original principal amounts of $1,676,000, $2,900,000 and $1,424,000 pursuant to that certain Development Line of Credit Agreement dated May 5, 2010, by and among Borrower, Borrowing Agent and Lender, as amended from time to time, (b) refinance the existing $9,000,000 term loan pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (c) pay off a seller note, (d) pay off shareholder notes and (e) pay swap breakage fees.  No amount advanced under the Note shall be used for personal, family, or household purposes.”

(e)           Section 9(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

provided, however, that

 

(a)           if Borrower has or may incur Hedging Obligations with Lender in connection with the Loan, the LIBOR Interest Period shall be of the same duration as the relevant period set under the applicable Hedge Agreement;

 

(b)           if such LIBOR Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, such LIBOR Interest Period shall end on the next following Business Day unless such day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such LIBOR Interest Period shall end on the first preceding Business Day; and

FORM OF

This certificate is given by ________________, the ______________ of _____________ (“Borrower”) pursuant to Section 4 of the Credit Agreement dated May 5, 2010 by and between Borrower and RBS Citizens, N.A. (as may be amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The undersigned hereby certifies to Lender as follows:

(a)

All representations and warranties of Borrower in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.

(b)

Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with all of its obligations, duties and covenants under the Loan Documents.

(c)

No event has occurred which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents.

(d)

Since the Closing Date, no event has occurred that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, the Business, the Guarantor or the Property.

(e)

Borrower is in compliance with the covenants contained in Section 6 of the Credit Agreement as demonstrated by the calculation of such covenants below. In calculating the covenants below, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and the Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio will be modified so that calculation of such ratios will not include results from Businesses open for a period of less than twelve (12) months.  In addition all figures for Businesses in their second (2nd) year of operation will be adjusted so that such figures are tested on annualized basis rather than a trailing twelve (12) month basis.

Debt Service Covenant:

Borrower shall cause to be maintained as of the end of each fiscal quarter a Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the trailing twelve (12) month period of greater than or equal to 1.20 to 1.0.

Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio Covenant (quarterly basis):

Borrower shall not cause the Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio of Borrower on a consolidated basis to be greater than the Applicable Ratio, said ratio to be tested on a quarterly basis for the trailing twelve (12) month period.  “Applicable Ratio” shall mean 5.75:1.00 for calculations made on or before December 31, 2010; 5.50:1.00 for calculations made on or before December 31, 2011; and 5.00:1.00 for calculations made thereafter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS

 

 

 

ADDITIONAL TERMS AFFECTING LIBOR RATE LOAN

1.           Voluntary Prepayment of the LIBOR Rate Loan.  When classified as a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Loan may be prepaid upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Borrower acknowledges that additional obligations may be associated with any such prepayment under the terms and conditions of any applicable Hedging Contracts.  Borrower shall give Lender, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least four (4) Business Days notice of any proposed prepayment of the LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying the proposed date of payment and the principal amount to be paid.  Each partial prepayment of the principal amount of the LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an integral multiple of $10,000 and accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on the LIBOR Rate Loan (including the LIBOR Breakage Fee) and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment.

2.           LIBOR Breakage Fee.  Upon any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on any day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period (regardless of the source of such prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrower shall pay an amount (“LIBOR Breakage Fee”), as calculated by Lender, equal to the amount of any losses, expenses and liabilities (including without limitation any loss of margin and anticipated profits) that Lender may sustain as a result of such default or payment.  Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges that:  (i) Lender does not have any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of the LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such rate, and (iii) Borrower has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses incurred by Lender.  Borrower further agrees to pay the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses, if any, whether or not Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

3.           LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful.  If Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Borrower be conclusive and binding on Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or guideline, (whether or not having the force of law) makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for Lender to make, continue or maintain the Loan as, or to convert the Loan into, a LIBOR Rate Loan, then any such LIBOR Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until Lender shall notify Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Prime Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law and assertion.

4.           Increased Costs.  If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation or guideline (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

 

(a)

shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender or shall impose on Lender or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting the LIBOR Rate Loan or its obligation to make the LIBOR Rate Loan; or

 

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

 

5.           Increased Capital Costs.  If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender, or person controlling Lender, and Lender determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling person’s capital as a consequence of its commitments or the Loan made by Lender is reduced to a level below that which Lender or such controlling person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by Lender to Borrower, Borrower shall immediately pay directly to Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender or such controlling person for such reduction in rate of return.  A statement of Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower.  In determining such amount, Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

 

6.           Taxes.  All payments by Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the LIBOR Rate Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by Lender’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”).  In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then Borrower will

 

 

 

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against Lender with respect to any payment received by Lender hereunder, Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrower will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by Lender after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount Lender would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.

 

 

If Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender as a result of any such failure.

 

7.           Unavailability of LIBOR Rate.  In the event that Borrower shall have requested a LIBOR Rate Loan and Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have determined that U.S. dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant LIBOR Interest Period are not available to Lender in the London interbank market; or by reason of circumstances affecting Lender in the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable to the relevant LIBOR Interest Period; or the LIBOR Rate no longer adequately and fairly reflects Lender’s cost of funding loans, upon notice from Lender to Borrower the obligations of Lender under this Agreement to make or continue any loans as, or to convert any loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until Lender shall notify Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
