EXHIBIT 10.2

 

CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

This Credit Agreement is effective as of July 7, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) by and between CASTLE PINES CAPITAL LLC (“CPC”), a Delaware limited liability company having its chief executive office located at 116 Inverness Drive East, Suite 375, Englewood, Colorado 80112, and PCM, INC. (“Reseller”), a Delaware corporation, having its chief executive office located at 1940 E Mariposa Ave, El Segundo, CA 90245 (this “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined within this Credit Agreement, capitalized terms have the meaning set forth in Section 25, below.

 

1. Extensions of Credit. Subject to the terms of this Credit Agreement, together with the attached Financial Covenants Amendment to Credit Agreement (collectively, this “Agreement”), CPC has made a discretionary inventory line of credit (the “Inventory Line of Credit”) available to Reseller. The Inventory Line of Credit may be used to enable Reseller to purchase Inventory from CPC approved vendors (collectively, the “Vendors”). The Inventory Line of Credit is a discretionary line of credit and CPC has no obligation to make an Advance under such line of credit even if no Default has occurred under the terms of this Agreement. CPC may combine all of CPC’s advances to Reseller or on Reseller’s behalf together under this Credit Agreement or any other agreement between CPC and Reseller, together with all finance charges, fees and expenses related thereto, to make one debt owed by Reseller.

 

2. Financing Terms.

 

a.

Financed Inventory - General. Upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, CPC may finance:

 

		Reseller’s purchases of Eligible Inventory from Vendors (“Financed Inventory”), for which payment shall be due on the Payment Due Date
		If CPC agrees to finance an item of Financed Inventory, CPC will send Reseller a TS, identifying such Financed Inventory and if not otherwise provided herein, the interest rate applicable to such Financed Inventory.
		CPC may withdraw any approval to finance Inventory at any time prior to Shipment.

 

	b.	Discretionary Nature of the Inventory Line of Credit. This Agreement contains the terms and conditions upon which CPC presently expects to make Advances to Reseller in the future. Each Advance shall be in CPC’s sole discretion, and CPC does not need to show that an adverse change has occurred in the business operations or financial condition of Reseller, or show that any conditions of this Agreement have not been met, in order to refuse to make an Advance.
	c.	Overlines. Reseller may request and CPC may be willing in its sole and absolute discretion to make Advances to Reseller in excess of the Inventory Line of Credit (each an “Overline” and collectively, the “Overlines”). The aggregate amount of permitted Overlines and the duration of time such Overlines may be available to Reseller shall be communicated to Reseller via a separate written communication from CPC, the terms of which shall be incorporated herein by reference.

 

3. Security Interest. Reseller hereby grants to CPC a security interest in all of the Collateral as security for all Indebtedness.

	f.	At the time of each advance of credit under the terms of this Agreement, each representation and warranty set forth in Section 4 above will be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of the making of each such advance and after giving effect thereto, except to the extent related to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall speak only of such earlier date.
	g.	Reseller will execute and deliver to CPC such agreements, assignments or instruments (including affidavits, notices, reaffirmations and amendments and restatements of existing documents, as CPC may reasonably request) and do all such other things as CPC may deem necessary, appropriate or convenient (1) to assure CPC of the effectiveness and priority of its security interests, including such financing statements (including renewal statements), amendments and supplements or such other instruments as CPC may from time to time reasonably request in order to perfect and maintain the security interests in the Collateral in accordance with the UCC, (2) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (3) to otherwise protect and assure CPC of its rights and interests hereunder. To that end, Reseller agrees that CPC may file one or more financing statements to perfect CPC’s security interests in the Collateral (which may describe the Collateral as “all assets”).

 

 

6. Insurance. Reseller will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with respect to the Collateral against loss or damage and all other insurance of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured against or carried by corporations of established reputation engaged in the same or similar businesses and similarly situated. Reseller shall cause CPC to be named as a loss payee. All insurance proceeds received by CPC in respect of inventory which is damaged, lost or stolen may be retained by CPC, in its sole discretion, for application to the payment of any of the principal or interest on the Indebtedness then due and owing in respect of the inventory damaged, lost or stolen.

 

7. Financial Statements and Notices. Reseller will deliver to CPC :

 

	a.	On or before the earlier of the 45th day after the end of each fiscal month or, for any fiscal month ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter, the date on which Reseller files its Form 10Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission for such fiscal quarter, monthly unaudited internally prepared consolidated and consolidating financial statements of Reseller and its Subsidiaries (including in each case balance sheets, statements of income and loss, statements of cash flow and statements of shareholder’s equity) as of the end of and through such fiscal month, all in reasonable detail, which financial statements shall be prepared honestly and in good faith; provided that (i) if the average daily Excess Availability (as defined in, and as determined in accordance with Section 9.6(a) of, the Revolving Loan Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof or as amended or modified hereafter with the written consent of CPC) during any fiscal quarter is not less than the greater of $12,500,000 or 10% of the amount available to be borrowed pursuant to clause (a) of Section 2.1 of the Revolving Loan Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof (but in any event no more than 10% of the Maximum Credit as defined in the Revolving Loan Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof or as amended or modified hereafter with the written consent of CPC) and so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, then during the immediately following fiscal quarter, such financial statements may be provided on a fiscal quarter basis on or before the earlier of the 45th day after the end of such fiscal quarter or the date on which Reseller files its Form 10Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission for such fiscal quarter and (ii) CPC shall request (and Reseller hereby authorizes CPC to request) copies of the foregoing financial statements from WFCF as agent under the Revolving Loan Documents and, to the extent CPC notifies Reseller in writing that CPC was able to obtain the same from WFCF (and Reseller hereby authorizes WFCF to deliver the same to CPC), Reseller shall not be required to separately deliver the same to CPC under this clause (a).
	b.	within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, audited consolidated and consolidating financial statements of Reseller and its Subsidiaries for such year (including in each case balance sheets, statements of income and loss, statements of cash flow and statements of shareholder’s equity), and the accompany notes thereto, all in reasonable detail, fairly presenting the financial position and the results of the operations of Reseller and its Subsidiaries as of the end of and for such fiscal year, together with the opinion of independent certified public accountants, which accountants shall be an independent accounting form selected by Reseller and reasonably acceptable to CPC, that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly the results of operations and financial condition of Reseller and its Subsidiaries as of the end of and for the fiscal year then ended; provided that CPC shall request (and Reseller hereby authorizes CPC to request) copies of the foregoing financial statements from WFCF as agent under the Revolving Loan Documents and, to the extent CPC notifies Reseller in writing that CPC was able to obtain the same from WFCF (and Reseller hereby authorizes WFCF to deliver the same to CPC), Reseller shall not be required to separately deliver the same to CPC under this clause (b);
	c.	at CPC’s request, within 75 days after the close of each fiscal year, a copy of Reseller’s budgeted projections for the next succeeding fiscal year, in reasonable detail to the satisfaction of CPC in its discretion; provided that CPC shall request (and Reseller hereby authorizes CPC to request) copies of the foregoing projections from WFCF as agent under the Revolving Loan Documents and, to the extent CPC notifies Reseller in writing that CPC was able to obtain the same from WFCF (and Reseller hereby authorizes WFCF to deliver the same to CPC), Reseller shall not be required to separately deliver the same to CPC under this clause (c);

 

 

	d.	at CPC’s request, to the extent CPC is unable to obtain the same from WFCF under the Revolving Loan Documents (including in the event the Revolving Facility Debt is repaid or financed), monthly Collateral Reports for and as of the immediately preceding month. Reseller irrevocably authorizes WFCF and each lender under the Revolving Loan Documents to deliver to CPC copies of such Collateral Reports upon request by CPC therefor;
	e.	copies of any and all reports, examinations, notices, warnings and citations issued by any governmental or quasi-governmental (whether federal, state or local), unit, agency, body or entity, to the extent delivery or notice of the same is required under the Revolving Loan Documents;
	f.	at CPC’s request, copies, or after the occurrence of a Default, originals of all orders, invoices, and similar agreements and documents; all original shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery of Inventory, the sale or disposition of which has resulted in Accounts;
	g.	at CPC’s request, the originals of all Instruments, Chattel Paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts; in the same form as received and upon such request by CPC, immediately upon the receipt of each such document, with all necessary endorsements to enable CPC to enforce the same; and
	h.	such other information as CPC from time to time reasonably requests.

 

8. Payment Terms. With respect to Financed Inventory, Reseller will immediately pay CPC the principal Indebtedness on the earliest occurrence of any of the following events: (a) on the Payment Due Date, and (b) immediately when the Inventory is lost, stolen or damaged (collectively, the “Loss Date”). All payments hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, prior to 11:00 a.m., Denver, Colorado time, on the Payment Due Date or the Loss Date, as applicable, in immediately available funds or by electronic data interchange (“EDI”) to the CPC Account or as otherwise agreed between the parties (the “Due Date”). For purposes of calculating interest, payment shall be deemed to have been applied by CPC against the principal of and/or interest on any Indebtedness on the Business Day, when before 11:00 a.m., good funds are received by CPC, whether such payment is made by check, wire, EDI, ACH Debit or other means. Reseller acknowledges that the date defined as the Payment Due Date falls on the same day of each week to establish a consistent payment date. CPC may change the terms of any future financing and the date for repayment of future Indebtedness by giving Reseller written notice specifying such change. Any third party discount, rebate, bonus or credit granted to Reseller for any Inventory will not reduce the Indebtedness Reseller owes CPC until CPC has received payment therefor in cash. Reseller will: (A) pay CPC even if any Inventory is defective or fails to conform to any warranties extended by any third party; (B) not assert against CPC any claim or defense Reseller has against any third party; and (C) indemnify and hold CPC harmless against all claims and defenses asserted by any buyer of any Inventory. Reseller waives all rights of setoff Reseller may have against CPC. CPC will have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments received from Reseller or on Reseller’s behalf in such manner as CPC may deem advisable notwithstanding any entry by CPC upon its books and records. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, CPC agrees that: (i) and the Payment Due Date set forth in any TS shall not be any earlier than it is required to be pursuant to the terms of the agreement between CPC and the applicable Vendor; and (ii) if CPC receives a notice from any Vendor that the terms of the agreement between such Vendor and CPC has changed such that the Payment Due Date of Reseller on any future TS will be revised to be earlier than on any prior TS, CPC shall provide Reseller with written notice of such change within one Business Day of CPC receiving such notice from such Vendor.

 

 

9. Calculation of Charges. The outstanding principal balance of the Indebtedness and any other obligations arising hereunder shall bear interest commencing on the day immediately succeeding any Due Date; each at the per annum rate of interest applicable under the Revolving Loan Agreement to non-contingent obligations thereunder in the event of a default thereunder or, if no such rate is provided, at the per annum rate equal to LIBOR Rate plus 5.75% (the “Default Rate”). Interest will be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. Interest is due and payable monthly in arrears pursuant to the terms of the monthly billing statement from CPC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate and shall be payable upon demand. CPC intends to strictly conform to the usury laws. Regardless of any provision contained herein, CPC shall never be deemed to have contracted for, charged, received, collected or applied as interest, any amount in excess of the maximum amount allowable by applicable law. If CPC ever receives interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law, CPC will apply such excess amount to the reduction of the outstanding unpaid principal balance, and then will pay any excess to Reseller. In determining whether the interest paid or payable exceeds the highest lawful rate, Reseller and CPC shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (1) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (2) exclude voluntary pre-payments and the effect thereof, and (3) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of this Agreement so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term.

 

In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of CPC, make it unlawful or impractical for CPC to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, thereafter interest shall accrue at the Base Rate plus 4.75%, and Reseller shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Rate until CPC determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, CPC is not required actually to acquire Eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Indebtedness as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate.

 

10. Monthly Interest Billing Statement. CPC agrees to send to Reseller a monthly interest billing statement. Reseller agrees to pay interest arising from Indebtedness monthly in arrears in accordance with the terms of such monthly interest billing statement and this Agreement.

 

11. Default. The occurrence of one or more of the following events shall constitute a default by Reseller (a “Default”): (a) Reseller shall fail to pay any Indebtedness comprising principal when due; (b) Reseller shall fail to pay any Indebtedness comprising interest, fees or other amounts within two Business Days when due; (c) any representation or warranty made to CPC by Reseller shall not be true in any material respect when made; (d) Reseller shall breach or fail to perform any covenant contained in this Agreement or the other Documents and such breach or failure shall continue for 30 days; provided, that, such 30 day period shall not apply in the case of (i) any failure to observe any such covenant which is not capable of being cured at all or within such 30 day period or which has been the subject of a prior failure within the preceding four month period, or (ii) any failure by Reseller to pursue a cure diligently and promptly during such 30 day period; (e) Reseller shall become insolvent or generally fail to pay its debts as they become due or shall cease to do business as a going concern; (f) Reseller shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or commence a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, receivership, dissolution or liquidation statute or similar law of any jurisdiction, or any such proceeding shall be commenced against it or any of its property, and in the case of any involuntary proceeding, such proceeding shall not be dismissed within 60 days (an “Automatic Default”); (g) an attachment, sale or seizure shall be issued or shall be executed against any assets of Reseller; (h) Reseller shall lose, or shall be in default of, any franchise, license or right to deal in any Financed Inventory and such loss or default shall not be cured within 30 days; (i) any default by Reseller relating to indebtedness for borrowed money or secured indebtedness owing to any Person other than CPC, in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate, which default continues for more than the applicable cure period, if any, with respect thereto, or any default by Reseller under any material contact, lease, license or other obligation to any person other than CPC which default continues for more than the applicable cure period, if any, with respect thereto, unless such defaults are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued; or (j) the indebtedness under the Revolving Loan Documents shall become due by acceleration by reason of a default.

 

 

12. Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of a Default, CPC shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable law as well as all the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement. CPC may terminate any obligations it has under this Agreement and any outstanding credit approvals immediately and/or declare any and all Indebtedness immediately due and payable without notice or demand. Reseller waives notice of intent to accelerate, and of acceleration of Indebtedness. CPC may enter any premises of Reseller, with or without process of law, without force, to search for, take possession of, and remove the Collateral, or any part thereof. If CPC requests, Reseller shall cease disposition of and shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to CPC, at Reseller’s expense, at a convenient place or places designated by CPC. CPC may take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof on Reseller’s premises at Reseller’s expense, and store said Collateral upon Reseller’s premises pending sale or other disposition. Upon the voluntary surrender of the Collateral to CPC or upon foreclosure of the Collateral by CPC, Reseller agrees that the sale of Inventory by CPC to a person who is liable to CPC under an agreement to repurchase inventory (a “Repurchase Agreement”) shall not be deemed to be a transfer subject to UCC §9-618(a) or any similar provision of any other applicable law, and Reseller waives any provision of such laws to that effect. Reseller agrees that the repurchase of Inventory by a Vendor pursuant to a Repurchase Agreement shall be deemed a commercially reasonable method of disposition. Reseller shall be liable to CPC for any deficiency resulting from CPC’s disposition, including without limitation a repurchase by a Vendor pursuant to a Repurchase Agreement, regardless of any subsequent disposition thereof. Reseller is not a beneficiary of, and has no right to require CPC to enforce, any Repurchase Agreement. Any notice of a disposition shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent to Reseller at least 10 days before such disposition. All of CPC’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative. At CPC’s request, or without request in the event of an Automatic Default, Reseller shall pay all Vendor Credits to CPC as soon as the same are received for application to Indebtedness. Reseller authorizes CPC to collect Vendor Credits directly from Vendors and, upon request of CPC, shall instruct Vendors to pay CPC directly. Additionally, in the event of an Automatic Default, the obligations of CPC, if any, shall automatically terminate, all Indebtedness shall automatically become immediately due and payable and Reseller shall automatically be obligated to repay all of such Indebtedness in full, without presentment, demand, protect or notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Reseller. Reseller irrevocably waives any requirement that CPC retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after an arbitration hearing, arbitration award, confirmation, trial or final judgment. CPC’s election to extend or not extend credit to Reseller is solely at CPC’s discretion and does not depend on the absence or existence of a Default.

 

13. Power of Attorney. Reseller grants CPC an irrevocable power of attorney, as Reseller’s attorney-in-fact, to: (a) file financing statements naming CPC as “Secured Party”; (b) supply any omitted information and correct administrative errors in any documents between CPC and Reseller; and (c) do anything to protect and preserve the Collateral and CPC’s rights and interest therein (including, but not limited to the payment of any insurance, taxes, fees or other obligations which may impair CPC’s interest in the Collateral), which if CPC’s action require the expenditure of monies, such amounts shall (x) constitute additional Indebtedness under this Agreement, (y) have interest assessed same so long as unpaid at the Default Rate, and (z) be due and payable immediately in full. Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Default, Reseller grants CPC the additional power, as Reseller’s attorney-in-fact, to: (1) change the address for delivery of mail and open mail for Reseller in connection with any property of Reseller (2) endorse on Reseller’s behalf any checks; and (3) initiate and resolve any insurance claim pertaining to the Collateral. This power of attorney and any other powers of attorney granted herein or elsewhere by Reseller to CPC are irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

 

 

14. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Reseller agrees to pay (a) all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to CPC in connection with the enforcement of the Documents and the Indebtedness, including, but not limited to reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred upon an Automatic Default, and (b) CPC’s standard wire transfer and check return fees, all as may be established and changed by CPC from time to time. Without limitation of and in addition to the foregoing, Reseller shall pay to CPC all reasonable audit fees in connection with audits of the books and records and properties of Reseller and such other matters as CPC shall deem appropriate in its reasonable credit judgment, plus all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by CPC in connection with such audits, whether such audits are conducted by employees of CPC or by third parties hired by CPC. Through execution of this Agreement, Reseller consents to such audits by CPC or third parties hired by CPC. Audit fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses equivalent to CPC’s actual cost shall be payable promptly upon demand therefor by CPC from time to time. In addition, Reseller shall pay any and all stamp, transfer and other taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Documents and agrees to hold CPC harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes. If any suit or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against CPC, Reseller, to the extent and in the manner directed by CPC, will resist and defend such suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel approved by CPC. If Reseller shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do under this Agreement or any representation or warranty on the part of Reseller contained in this Agreement shall be breached, CPC may, in its sole and absolute discretion, after 10 days written notice having been sent to Reseller, do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend its funds for such purpose; any and all amounts so expended by CPC shall be repayable to CPC by Reseller immediately upon CPC’s demand therefor, with interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate set forth in this Agreement in effect from time to time during the period from and including the date funds are so expended by CPC to the date of repayment, and any such amounts due and owing CPC shall be deemed to be part of the Indebtedness secured hereunder. The obligations of Reseller under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the other obligations of Reseller under the Documents.

FINANCIAL COVENANTS AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

This Financial Covenants Amendment to Credit Agreement (“Financial Covenants Amendment”) is made to that certain Credit Agreement entered into by and between PCM, INC. (“Reseller”) and CASTLE PINES CAPITAL LLC (“CPC”) on July 7, 2016, as amended (the “Agreement”).

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CPC and Reseller agree that the following paragraphs are incorporated into the Agreement as if fully and originally set forth therein (capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as defined in the Agreement unless otherwise indicated):

 

1. If as of any date of determination a FCCR Triggering Event shall have occurred, Reseller shall have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, calculated as of the end of the last fiscal quarter (on a trailing four-quarter basis) immediately preceding such date of determination for which financial statements have most recently been delivered pursuant to Section 7 of the Agreement, of not less than 1.0 to 1.0.

 

2. For purposes hereof:

 

“Average 30 Day Excess Availability” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Revolving Loan Documents as in effect as of the date hereof (or as hereafter amended with the consent of CPC). Such definition is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

“Capital Expenditures” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Revolving Loan Documents (as in effect as of the date hereof or as hereafter amended with the consent of CPC). Such definition is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

“EBITDA” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Revolving Loan Documents (as in effect as of the date hereof or as hereafter amended with the consent of CPC). Such definition is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

“Excess Availability” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Revolving Loan Documents (as in effect as of the date hereof or as hereafter amended with the consent of CPC). Such definition is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

“FCCR Triggering Event” shall mean that, as of any date of determination, either (a) Excess Availability is less than $10,000,000 as of such date, (b) Average 30 Day Excess Availability is less than $18,750,000 as of such date or (c) Excess Availability (without giving effect to the proviso contained in the definition thereof set forth in the Revolving Loan Documents) is less than $7,500,000 for a period of five consecutive days ending on such date of determination.

 

“Fixed Charges” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Revolving Loan Documents as in effect as of the date hereof (or as hereafter amended with the consent of CPC). Such definition is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, with respect to any fiscal period and with respect to Reseller and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, the ratio of (i) EBITDA for such period minus Capital Expenditures made (to the extent not already incurred in a prior period) or incurred during such period, to (ii) Fixed Charges.

 

3. Reseller acknowledges and agrees that it is the intention of Reseller and CPC to calculate the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for purposes of this Financial Covenants Amendment in the same manner, and based on the same definitions and definitional components, as set forth in the Revolving Loan Documents as in effect as of the date hereof. As a result, solely for purposes of this Financial Covenants Amendment and calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, no amendment or modification to the above terms in the Revolving Loan Documents, or to any definitions or components within such terms in the Revolving Loan Documents, shall be effective without the written consent of CPC.

 

4. Reseller waives notice of CPC’s acceptance of this Financial Covenants Amendment. All other terms and provisions of the Agreement, to the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing, are ratified and remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
