FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT ( this “Amendment”), dated as of June 30, 2003, among DOVER MOTORSPORTS, INC. (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other financial institutions parties to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (individually, a “Bank”; collectively, the “Banks”) and PNC BANK, DELAWARE, as administrative agent for the Banks (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Banks and the Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2002 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Banks amend the Leverage Ratio covenant for the periods ending June 30, 2003 through and including December 31, 2003; and

 

WHEREAS, the Required Banks have agreed to such request, but only on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Defined Terms. (a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined:

 

(b) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new definition in the appropriate alphabetical order:

 

Fourth Amendment”: shall mean the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2003, among the Borrower, the Banks and the Agent, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

 

2. Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably elects to permanently reduce the Total Commitment from $85,000,000 to $80,000,000 effective on and as of the Effective Date (as defined in Paragraph 13 below). As a result, on the Effective Date, the Total Commitment shall be permanently reduced to $80,000,000 and each Bank’s Commitment shall be reduced to the amount set forth on the revised Schedule I attached hereto, which shall be substituted for the Schedule I now attached to the Credit Agreement.


(b) The Borrower also hereby irrevocably elects to permanently reduce the Total Commitment, effective on and as of September 30, 2003, from $80,000,000 to $75,000,000. As a result, on September 30, 2003, the Total Commitment shall be permanently reduced to $75,000,000 and each Bank’s Commitment shall be correspondingly reduced in proportion to its Commitment Percentage as in effect on such date, all of which shall be confirmed by the Agent by its preparation and distribution of a revised Schedule I to the Credit Agreement to be substituted for the Schedule I attached hereto.

 

(c) The Borrower also hereby irrevocably elects to cancel the Total Commitment effective February 19, 2004. In furtherance thereof, the definition of the term “Termination Date” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the date “February 19, 2005” and inserting in lieu thereof, the date “February 19, 2004”.

 

(d) On the Effective Date and on September 30, 2003, the Borrower shall prepay Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Exposure at such dates does not exceed the Total Commitment as in effect on such dates after giving effect to the above reductions. In addition, on February 19, 2004, the Borrower shall pay the Loans in full together with all accrued interest thereon and any other amounts owed under the Loan Documents. The failure to make any of the foregoing payments shall be an immediate Event of Default.

 

3. Financial Covenants. (a) Section 6.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:

 

(a) Leverage Ratio. Permit, as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending during the periods specified below, the Leverage Ratio to exceed that set forth opposite such periods:

 

“Period


   Ratio

March 31, 2003 through June 29, 2003

   4.50 to 1

June 30, 2003 through September 29, 2003

   5.50 to 1

September 30, 2003 through December 30, 2003

   5.25 to 1

December 31, 2003

   4.75 to 1

 

(b) Section 6.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end thereto a new subsection (d) which shall read as follows:

 

(d) Minimum Consolidated EBITDA. Permit, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, Consolidated EBITDA to be less than $11,500,000, exclusive of any charges occurring or reserves made on and after July 1, 2003 relating to the claim of the Southwestern Illinois Development Authority described on Schedule II to the Fourth Amendment.

 

2


4. Appraisal. The Agent or its counsel shall commission, at the sole cost of the Borrower, an independent third party appraisal (or business valuation) by a Person acceptable to the Agent on the real property subject to the Mortgages, such appraisal to be completed by September 15, 2003 and to be in a form satisfactory to the Required Banks. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall cooperate with such appraisal or business valuation.

 

5. Strategic Plan. The Borrower shall provide to each Bank, by no later than August 15, 2003, a strategic plan, in a form satisfactory to the Required Banks, setting forth, among other things, the means by which the Borrower intends to substantially reduce the Leverage Ratio. Such plan shall include a description of the specific steps that the Borrower intends to implement as well as the timing of such implementation.

 

6. Interest; Commitment Fee. (a) Effective on and as of the Effective Date (i) the Applicable Margin on Base Rate Loans (including Swing Line Loans) shall be at 150 basis points (1.50%), (ii) the Applicable Margin on Eurodollar Loans shall be 375 basis points (3.75%) and (iii) the fee on the unused portion of the Total Commitment shall be a per annum rate equal to 50 basis points (.50%). Accordingly, the definitions of “Applicable Margin” and “Commitment Fee Rate” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement are each hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:

 

Applicable Margin”: on any date, shall equal for any (i) Base Rate Loan, 1.50% or (ii) Eurodollar Loan, 3.75%.

 

Commitment Fee Rate”: on any date, shall equal 0.50%.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, on and after the Effective Date (i) the Interest Payment Date for Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans shall be the last day of each calendar month rather than the last day of each calendar quarter and (ii) the only Interest Period available to the Borrower for Eurodollar Loans or for rollovers of or conversions to Eurodollar Loans will be one month (i.e., the option for two, three and six month’s duration for Eurodollar Loans is eliminated). Existing Eurodollar Loans, however, will not be broken, and so will continue to have their existing Interest Periods.

 

7. Monthly Reporting. The Borrower agrees to furnish to the Agent not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each month a report detailing (a) cash flow from operations for such month and the portion of the year then ended and (b) Consolidated Funded Debt as of the end of such month. Such report shall be in a form acceptable to the Agent and the first report shall be due on or before July 31, 2003 for the month ending June 30, 2003.

 

8. Security Documents. (a) The provision in Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement related to the Mortgages being released under certain situations is hereby deleted. As a result, the Mortgages shall not be released even if the conditions currently set forth therein are met. Accordingly, the first sentence of Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the proviso thereto which currently reads as follows:

 

; provided, however, in the event that the Leverage Ratio of the Borrower is less than 3.00 to 1.00 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters as evidenced by the Borrower’s delivery of both (i) the Compliance

 

3


Certificates and (ii) the Borrower’s publicly filed 10-Q or 10-K, as applicable, for such quarters, the Agent shall, upon the written request and at the sole expense of the Borrower, promptly release the Mortgages.

 

(b) Section 9.1(f) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “unless the Mortgages are released pursuant to the terms of Section 5.11”.

 

(c) The Required Banks shall determine on or before July 31, 2003, whether they would prefer that (i) the Borrower and the Guarantors grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, a lien on and security interest in all of their personal property (“Option 1”) or (ii) the Borrower cause the Guarantor or Guarantors owning the Nashville Superspeedway Race Track and related property (collectively, the “Nashville Speedway Mortgagor”) to execute and deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, one or more mortgages on all real property and related equipment and fixtures owned by the Nashville Speedway Mortgagor constituting or related to the Nashville Superspeedway Race Track (“Option 2”). Upon making such determination, the Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing of the determination of the Required Banks as to whether they prefer Option 1 or Option 2.

 

(d) If the Required Banks elect Option 1, then on or before fifteen days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such election, the Borrower shall execute and deliver, and cause each Guarantor to execute and deliver, to the Agent one or more security agreements (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, collectively, the “Security Agreements”) pursuant to which the Borrower and the Guarantors shall grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, a first-priority lien on and security interest in all of their personal property, such Security Agreements to be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Simultaneously with the delivery of the Security Agreements, the Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent a legal opinion of Klaus M. Belohoubek, Esquire, General Counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, addressed to the Banks and the Agent, covering the enforceability of such Security Agreements and such other matters as the Agent shall reasonably request, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

 

(e) If the Required Banks elect Option 2, then on or before fifteen days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such election, the Borrower shall cause the Nashville Speedway Mortgagor to execute and deliver to the Agent one or more mortgages (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, collectively, the “Nashville Mortgages”) on all of the real property owned by the Nashville Speedway Mortgagor located in Tennessee granting to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, a first mortgage lien on such real property and related equipment and fixtures. Simultaneously with the delivery of the Nashville Mortgages, the Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent a legal opinion of Klaus M. Belohoubek, Esquire, addressed to the Banks and the Agent, covering the enforceability of the Nashville Mortgages and such other matters as the Agent shall reasonably request, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

 

(f) Simultaneously with the delivery of the Security Agreements or the Nashville Mortgages, as the case may be, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent (i) copies, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Borrower and the Guarantors (if Option 1 is selected) or the Nashville Speedway Mortgagor (if Option 2 is selected), of resolutions of the Board of Directors of such entity or entities authorizing the

 

4


execution, delivery and performance of the Security Agreements or the Nashville Mortgages, as the case may be, and the other documents and transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) copies, certified by one of the officers of the Borrower and the Guarantors (if Option 1 is selected) or the Nashville Speedway Mortgagor (if Option 2 is selected), of the certificate of incorporation, By-laws and fictitious name filing, if any, of such entity or entities as in effect, or a certificate stating that there have been no changes to any such documents since the most recent date true and correct copies thereof were delivered to the Agent. Without limiting the other rights of the Agent and the Banks under the Loan Documents, if Option 2 is elected, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent is hereby authorized to obtain, at the sole cost of the Borrower (i) an appraisal, from an appraiser and in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Banks, on the real property that is subject to the Nashville Mortgages and (ii) title insurance on the real property subject to the Nashville Mortgages insuring the Agent’s first mortgage lien on such real property, as mortgagee under the Nashville Mortgages, from an insurer and in an amount acceptable to the Required Banks.

 

(g) As the Required Banks are deciding whether to elect Option 1 or Option 2, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Guarantors to, cooperate with the Agent and the Banks and provide such information as shall be reasonably requested by the Agent or the Required Banks in connection therewith (including valuation information), all at the sole cost of the Borrower (except as provided in the proviso to the next sentence). Without limiting the foregoing, at the request of the Required Banks, the Agent may obtain an appraisal of the Nashville Speedway Race Track from an appraiser selected by the Agent, in which event the Borrower shall (and shall cause the Nashville Mortgagors to) cooperate with such appraisal; provided that, the Borrower shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of such appraisal unless agreed to by the Borrower.

 

(h) The definition of the term “Loan Documents” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting at the end thereto the following:

 

, the Security Agreements (as defined in the Fourth Amendment) and the Nashville Mortgages (as defined in the Fourth Amendment).

 

(i) The second sentence of Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting at the end thereto the following:

 

or (e) release the Security Agreements (as defined in the Fourth Amendment) or the Nashville Mortgages (as defined in the Fourth Amendment).

 

9. Prepayment Fee. Unless otherwise consented to by the Required Banks, in the event that the Borrower elects to terminate the Credit Agreement before the Termination Date and the Loans are prepaid in full prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks (pro rata based on their respective Commitment Percentages) a prepayment fee in an amount equal to three quarters of one percent (0.75%) of each Bank’s Commitment as of the date of such election; provided that, in no event shall such prepayment fee be in an amount greater than $500,000 or less than $250,000.

 

5


10. No Increase in Dividend. So long as the Commitments remain in effect, any Note remains outstanding and unpaid, any Letter of Credit remains outstanding or any other amount is owing to the Banks or the Agent under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall not on and after the Effective Date (a) increase the amount it pays in dividends or other Distributions on its outstanding Capital Stock (including, if there is a stock split with respect to its Capital Stock, appropriately adjusting the dividend payments so the total amount paid in dividends is not increased) or (b) repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire any of its Capital Stock. The foregoing shall be in addition to any other limitation in the Credit Agreement on Distributions.

 

11. Event of Default. It shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement if the Borrower fails to observe or comply with or shall default in the performance of any agreement or covenant contained in this Amendment. Accordingly, Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding immediately after clause “(k)” a new clause “(l)” which shall read as follows:

 

(l) the Borrower shall fail to observe or comply with or shall default in the performance of any agreement or covenant contained in the Fourth Amendment.

(e) The making and performance of this Amendment and the other documents and instruments executed in connection herewith will not (i) violate any provision of any law or regulation, federal, state or local, or the organizational documents of the Borrower, (ii) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default or require the obtaining of any consent under, any agreement or instrument by which the Borrower or its property may be

 

6
