Re:                             Forestar (USA) Real Estate Group Inc. Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is hereby made to that certain Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2014 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), executed by Borrower, the Guarantors defined therein, the Lenders defined therein, and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent (“Agent”) (Agent and Lenders are individually referred to herein as a “Credit Party” and collectively referred to herein as the “Credit Parties”).  Capitalized terms used herein shall, unless otherwise indicated, have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 1.                                          Limited Waiver and Amendment.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders hereby agree (a) to waive the requirement to comply with the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth covenant as required by §9.1(e) of the Credit Agreement (the “TNW Covenant”) for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2015 (“September Fiscal Quarter”), and (b) that upon the earlier of (i) November 15, 2015 or (ii) the date upon which Forestar Group announces its financial results for the September Fiscal Quarter, together with any quarterly impairments (the “September Financials”), (A) the minimum TNW Covenant will automatically reset such that in §9.1(e)(i) $572,000,000 shall be deleted and replaced with the amount equal to 80% of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth as calculated per the September Financials, and (B) the Effective Date, for the purposes of calculating compliance with §9.1(e) only, shall be changed to September 30, 2015. (the “Limited Waiver and Amendment”).

 

Section 2.                                          Conditions Precedent.  The Limited Waiver is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)                                 this Limited Waiver and Amendment shall have been executed by each Loan Party, Agent, and the Required Lenders;

 

(b)                                 after giving effect to this Limited Waiver and Amendment, the representations and warranties in this Limited Waiver and Amendment shall be true and correct in all material respects; and

 

(c)                                  after giving effect to this Limited Waiver and Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall exist.

 



 

Section 3.                                          Ratification.  By execution of this Limited Waiver and Amendment in the space provided below, Borrower (a) represents and warrants that, after giving effect to this Limited Waiver and Amendment, the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, on and as of the date of this Limited Waiver and Amendment, except to the extent that (i) any of them speak to a different specific date, or (ii) the facts on which any of them were based have been changed by transactions contemplated or permitted by the Credit Agreement, and (b) ratifies and confirms that the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents, and all renewals, extensions, and restatements of, and amendments and supplements to, any of the foregoing, are and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. Borrower affirms its obligation to pay all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Agent in connection with this Limited Waiver and Amendment pursuant to §15 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 4.                                          No Impairment.  The Limited Waiver hereby granted by Lenders does not, other than to the extent expressly waived or amended hereby, (a) constitute a waiver or modification of any other terms or provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) impair any right that any Credit Party may now or hereafter have under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (c) impair any Credit Party’s rights to insist upon strict compliance with the Credit Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified hereby, or the other Loan Documents.  The Loan Documents continue to bind and inure to the Loan Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

Section 5.                                          Counterparts.  This Limited Waiver and Amendment, when countersigned by all required parties, shall be a “Loan Document” as defined and referred to in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Limited Waiver and Amendment by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Limited Waiver and Amendment. THIS LIMITED WAIVER AND AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

Section 6.                                          ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  THIS LETTER, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO.  THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.
