FOURTH AMENDMENT, dated as of June 30, 2015 (this "Amendment"), to the Financing Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2012 (as previously amended, the "Financing Agreement"), by and among Christals Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Parent"), Peekay Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Peekay Acquisition"), the subsidiaries of Peekay Acquisition listed as Borrowers on the signature pages thereto (together with Peekay Acquisition, each a "Borrower" and collectively, the "Borrowers"), each subsidiary of the Parent listed as a "Guarantor" on the signature pages thereto (together with the Parent and each other Person that executes a joinder agreement and becomes a "Guarantor" hereunder or otherwise guaranties all or any part of the Obligations (as defined therein), each a "Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors"), the lenders from time to time party thereto (each a "Lender" and collectively, the "Lenders"), Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns, the "Collateral Agent"), and as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns, the "Administrative Agent"), and CB Agency Services, LLC, as origination agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns, the "Origination Agent"; together with the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, each an "Agent" and collectively, the "Agents").

 

RECITALS. The Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Origination Agent are parties to the Financing Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders made certain term loans (each a "Loan" and collectively, the "Loans") to the Borrowers. The Loan Parties have requested that the Required Lenders waive any noncompliance with the Leverage Ratio and Minimum Liquidity covenants set forth in Section 7.03 of the Financing Agreement through September 30, 2015.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions. Any terms used herein that are defined in the Financing Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Financing Agreement.

 

2. Amendments.

 

(a) New Definitions. Section 1.01 of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions, in appropriate alphabetical order:

 

"'Fourth Amendment' means the Fourth Amendment to Financing Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2015, by and among the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agents."

 

"Fourth Amendment Effective Date' means the date on which the Fourth Amendment shall become effective in accordance with its terms."

(b) Exit Fee. Section 2.06 of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new subsection (f), to read in its entirety as follows:

 

"(f) Exit Fee. The Borrowers agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an exit fee (the "Exit Fee"), for the account of each Lender that shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a counterpart of the Fourth Amendment signed on behalf of such Lender (or that shall have provided to the Administrative Agent written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which may include a telecopy or electronic transmission of a signed signature page of the Fourth Amendment, that such Lender has signed a counterpart of the Fourth Amendment) prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, on June 30, 2015 (each such Lender, a "Consenting Lender"), in an amount equal to the sum of 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans of such Consenting Lender, calculated on each of (i) the 15th day of July 2015 and the 15th day of each calendar month thereafter (if any of the Loans and other Obligations remain outstanding on such day), and (ii) the last day of July and the last day of each calendar month thereafter (if any of the Loans and other Obligations remain outstanding on such day). The Exit Fee shall be nonrefundable, shall be deemed fully earned as of the 15th day and last day of each calendar month for the Exit Fee that accrues on such day and until paid shall constitute "Obligations" that are secured by Collateral. The Exit Fee shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (A) the Final Maturity Date and (B) the date which all of the other Obligations are repaid or required to be repaid in full in cash. For the purpose of illustration only, if the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans of a Consenting Lender were $10,000,000 and were to remain unchanged and all Obligations were repaid on November 10, 2015, an Exit Fee of $200,000 would be earned and due and payable to such Consenting Lender on November 10, 2015."

 

3. Waiver and Consent.

 

(a) Pursuant to the request of the Loan Parties and in accordance with Section 12.02 of the Financing Agreement, but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof, the Required Lenders hereby consent to, and waive any Event of Default that would otherwise arise under Section 9.01(c)(i) of the Financing Agreement as a result of:

 

(i) subject to Section 3(b) below, any noncompliance with Section 7.03(a) arising from the failure of the Parent and its Subsidiaries to have a Leverage Ratio for each period of four fiscal quarters ending on June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 of not more than the applicable ratio specified in Section 7.03(a); and

 

 
2

 

(ii) subject to Section 3(b) below, any noncompliance with Section 7.03(b) arising from the failure of the Parent and its Subsidiaries to have Liquidity of at least $1,500,000 at any time from June 30, 2015 through September 30, 2015.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the consents and waivers set forth in Section 3(a) above, if any of the Obligations remain outstanding as of November 15, 2015, then the Loan Parties must satisfy (i) the Leverage Ratio of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the period of four fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2015 as set forth in Section 7.03(a) of the Financing Agreement and (ii) the Liquidity test at the end of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2015 as set forth in Section 7.03(b) of the Financing Agreement.

 

(c) The waivers and consents in this Section 3 shall be effective only in the specific instances and for the specific purposes set forth herein and do not allow for any other or further departure from the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, which terms and conditions shall remain in full force and effect.

 

4. Suspension of Cash Payment of Permitted Management Fees. The Loan Parties agree not to pay any Permitted Management Fees until the earlier to occur of (i) the date that the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.03 of the Financing Agreement have been satisfied for the period ending September 30, 2015 or as at September 30, 2015, or at any time thereafter, and (ii) the repayment of all Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, provided that such Permitted Management Fees shall continue to accrue.
