The Applicable Margin (other than the Applicable Margin for the Bridge Term Loan) shall be established based on the Senior Leverage Ratio for the most recently completed fiscal quarter and such Applicable Margin established on a Pricing Date shall remain in effect until the next Pricing Date. If the Parent has not delivered its financial statements by the date such financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) are required to be delivered under Section 6.1, until such financial statements and audit report are delivered, the Applicable Margin (other than the Applicable Margin for the Bridge Term Loan) shall be the highest Applicable Margin (i.e., the Senior Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00).

Annex 1

Violations

 

1.Financial Statement Violations. The quarterly consolidated and consolidating balance sheet and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows (collectively, the “Quarterly Financial Statements”) delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for each fiscal quarter prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date were either the consolidated Quarterly Financial Statements of Limbach, Inc. and its Subsidiaries or of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, and not of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in violation of Section 6.1(a) of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Financial Statement Violations”).

 

2.Restricted Payment Violations. The Borrower made cash distributions to the Parent, and the Parent, in turn, made cash distributions to Limbach, Inc., which Limbach, Inc. in turn used to pay general administrative costs and expenses incurred during the Parent’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, which exceeded the Restricted Payments permitted to be made under Section 6.15(d) of the Credit Agreement and Section 6.25 of the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount of $1,639,205.29 (collectively, the “Restricted Payment Violations”).

 

3.Reporting Violations. The Borrower improperly reported cash distributions made to Limbach, Inc. in the aggregate amount of (i) $778,411 during the Parent’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 (the “2016 LHI Distribution”) and (ii) $2,639,205.29 during the Parent’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 (the “2017 LHI Distributions”), in each case, which Limbach, Inc. used to pay general administrative costs and expenses, as a receivable payable by Limbach, Inc. on the respective Quarterly Financial Statements ending December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, which characterization of each such distribution on the financial statements of Parent and its Subsidiaries is in violation of Section 6.1(a) of the Credit Agreement (collectively, including any representations and warranties made, and any certificates delivered, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement that were not true and correct at the time made or delivered based solely on such characterization, the “Reporting Violations”). For the avoidance of doubt, Limbach, Inc. is not a party to, and has no obligations under, the Credit Agreement. The Reporting Violations relate solely to the reporting obligations of the Parent and its Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement, which do not include, and are independent from, the financial information and reporting of Limbach, Inc., whether on a quarterly basis or otherwise.

 

   

 

 

4.FCCR Calculation Violations. The Borrower did not include the 2016 LHI Distribution or the 2017 LHI Distributions in its calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, or September 30, 2017, in violation of Section 6.1(c)(i)(C) of the Credit Agreement (the “FCCR Calculation Violations”), and in connection with the FCCR Calculation Violation for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for such fiscal quarter was less than 1.25:1.00, in violation of Section 6.20(c) of the Credit Agreement (the “Financial Covenant Violation”, and together with the Financial Statement Violations, the Restricted Payment Violations, the Reporting Violations, and the FCCR Calculation Violations, collectively, the “Violations”); provided, the Administrative Agent acknowledges that, notwithstanding the FCCR Calculation Violations, the Borrower delivered a compliance certificate for each such fiscal quarter.
