FORBEARANCE AND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

 

FORBEARANCE AND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT dated as of February 22, 2010 (“Forbearance Agreement”) by and among WM Coffman LLC, a limited liability corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions set forth on the signature pages hereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, “Lenders”) and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as agent for Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

 

Background

 

Pursuant to a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 8, 2009 as heretofore and hereafter amended, supplemented and/or otherwise modified (the “Loan Agreement”), Agent and Lenders made loans, advances and/or other financial accommodations to Borrower.

 

There are various Events of Default now existing under the Loan Agreement as listed on the “Schedule of Designated Defaults” annexed hereto (“Designated Defaults”) by reason of which Agent and Lenders have no obligation to make any additional Advances and Agent has the full legal right to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement.  Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders forbear for a period of time from exercising their rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and that Agent and Lenders continue to make Advances to Borrower.  Agent and Lenders are prepared to establish a period of forbearance and continue to make Advances to Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

Agreement

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of any loan, advance, grant of credit or financial accommodation heretofore or hereafter made to or for the account of Borrower by Agent and/or Lenders, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Definitions.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

 

2.             Acknowledgements.  Borrower acknowledges the occurrence and existence of the Designated Defaults, and acknowledges and agrees that (a) it is in default of its obligations to Agent and Lenders under the Loan Agreement, (b) that pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 of the Loan Agreement, Agent and Lenders have no further obligations, contractual or otherwise, to continue to make Advances to Borrower and (c) that pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Loan Agreement, Agent and Lenders have the present and absolute right to declare all Obligations immediately due and payable.   Borrower hereby affirms and acknowledges that (a) as of February 11, 2009 there is presently due and owing to Lenders the principal amount of $5,339,104.28 together with accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses (collectively, the “Amount”), (b) the Amount is due and owing without defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever, and (c) the Loan Agreement, the Other Documents, and all agreements, documents and instruments executed and/or delivered by Borrower arising from or related to the
