The Co-Borrowers and Guarantors are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Credit Parties.”

 

R E C I T A L S:

 

A. The Credit Parties have entered into certain financing arrangements with LaSalle including that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2003 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”) among Co-Borrowers and LaSalle (the Credit Agreement and all documents executed in connection therewith are referred to collectively as the “Financing Documents”).

 

B. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Junior Creditors executed and delivered to LaSalle that certain Subordination Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2003 in favor of LaSalle (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Subordination Agreement”).

 

D. At the present time the Credit Parties request, and LaSalle is agreeable to waiving violations by the Credit Parties of certain financial covenants and making certain amendments to the Financing Documents, pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Credit Parties, the Junior Creditors and LaSalle hereby agree as follows:

 

A G R E E M E N T S:

 

1 RECITALS. The foregoing Recitals are hereby made a part of this Agreement.

 

2 DEFINITIONS. Capitalized words and phrases used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such words and phrases in the Financing Documents.

 

3 WAIVER OF DEFAULTED COVENANTS. The Credit Parties have informed LaSalle that (i) EBITDA for the Covenant Computation Periods ending June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004 was less than the $8,500,000 required under the Financing Documents; (ii) the Interest Coverage Ratio for the Covenant Computation Periods ending March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, and September 30, 2004 was less than the allowed 3.75 to 1.00 set forth in the Financing Documents; (iii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Covenant Computation Periods ending March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, and September 30, 2004 was less than the allowed 1.15 to 1.00 set forth in the Financing Documents; and (iv) the Leverage Ratio for the Covenant Computation Periods ending September 30, 2004 was more than as allowed as set forth in the Financing Documents (collectively, the “Defaulted Covenants”). The Credit Parties agree and acknowledge that, as a result of the occurrence of such Defaulted Covenants, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the applicable Financing Documents. The Credit Parties have, therefore, requested that LaSalle waive compliance by the Credit Parties with the Defaulted Covenants for the Covenant Computation Periods ending March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, and September 30, 2004, as well as the resulting Events of Default.

 

In addition, the Credit Parties have informed LaSalle that (i) JAC Holdings intends to increase the capitalization of JAC Holdings by means of selling shares of its common stock, following the reclassification of JAC Holdings’ Class A voting common stock and Class B nonvoting common stock, through an underwritten initial public offering (the “Offering”) and to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Offering; and (ii) the Credit Parties have forecasted that the Credit Parties do not anticipate the ability to achieve compliance with the minimum EBITDA, Fixed Charge Coverage, Interest Rate Coverage Ratio or the Leverage Ratio for the Covenant Calculation Period ending December 31, 2004, as originally set forth in the Financing Documents or as amended by this Agreement (the “Additional Defaulted Covenants”). The Credit Parties have, therefore, requested that LaSalle waive compliance by the Credit Parties with any Change of Control which is triggered as a result of the Offering and with the Additional Defaulted Covenants for the Covenant Computation Period ending December 31, 2004, as well as any resulting Events of Default.

 

LaSalle hereby waives: (a) compliance by the Credit Parties with (1) the Defaulted Covenants and the Additional Defaulted Covenants for the Covenant Computation Periods ending March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 and (2) the Change of Control provisions with respect to the Offering; (b) the Events of Default occurring by reason of the Credit Parties’ failure to comply with the Defaulted Covenants and the Additional Defaulted Covenants, solely for the Covenant Computation Periods ending March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004; (c) any Events of Default occurring by reason of the Credit Parties’ failure to comply with the Change of Control provisions, solely with respect to the Offering; and (d) LaSalle’s remedies under the Financing Documents with respect

 

2


to the Defaulted Covenants and the Additional Defaulted Covenant and the subsequent Events of Default, including any Events of Default with respect to any failure to comply with the Change of Control provisions due to the Offering.
