W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2007 (as amended as of February 2, 2011 and January 30, 2012 and as may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), was entered into among the Borrowers, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Collateral Agent and certain other parties thereto;

 

WHEREAS, the Parent Borrower intends to contribute to a newly formed subsidiary (together with any successor thereto, “TG Holding”) certain assets and liabilities relating to the Parent Borrower’s lawn, tree and shrub care business conducted primarily under the TruGreen brand name (including all of the equity interests in TruGreen, Inc., TruGreen Companies L.L.C., TruGreen Limited Partnership (together with any successor thereto, “TG”) and their subsidiaries), and to distribute common stock of TG Holding to Holding, which common stock shall be further distributed by Holding to Investment Holding (the “Separation”);

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Separation, TG Holding and certain of its subsidiaries will enter into a senior secured revolving loan credit agreement (the “TG Credit Agreement”) providing for aggregate revolving commitments of not less than $70,000,000 (the revolving commitments of each TG Lender under the TG Credit Agreement, the “TG Revolving Commitment”) with TG as borrower, certain banks and financial institutions as lenders (collectively, the “TG Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent;

 

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the initial effectiveness of the TG Credit Agreement (the date of initial effectiveness, the “TG Revolver Effective Date”) that the Parent Borrower and certain Lenders enter into this Amendment No. 3 to, among other things, reduce certain Commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, subsection 10.1 of the Revolving Credit Agreement provides that the Revolving Credit Agreement may be amended, modified and waived from time to time; and

 

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Collateral Agent and the Lenders party hereto are willing to amend the Revolving Credit Agreement as and to the extent, and on the terms and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Amendment No. 3.

 



 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION ONE                                                            Certain Commitment Reductions.

 

(a)                                 On the TG Revolver Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to the Separation, the Tranche C Revolving Commitment of each Lender that is a TG Lender shall be hereby reduced (the “Commitment Reduction”) by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of TG Revolving Commitments of such Lender under the TG Credit Agreement as of the TG Revolver Effective Date.  In connection with such Commitment Reduction, the provisions of subsection 2.3 of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to notice from the Parent Borrower and minimum reduction amounts, are hereby waived.

 

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence of the TG Revolver Effective Date, the Parent Borrower shall, on such date, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer specifying (i) the TG Revolver Effective Date and (ii) the amount of the Commitment Reduction for each Lender that is a TG Lender under the TG Credit Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on such certificate without any further duty to inquire and is hereby authorized to prepare Schedule A to this Amendment No. 3, reflecting the Tranche C Revolving Commitments as of the TG Revolver Effective Date after giving effect to the Commitment Reduction, based on such certificate delivered by the Parent Borrower and without any duty to inquire by the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)                                  Upon the effectiveness of the Commitment Reduction, the Lenders’ participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans and/or L/C Obligations, as the case may be, shall be reallocated so that after giving effect to the Commitment Reduction, the Lenders share ratably in the Swing Line Loans and/or L/C Obligations then outstanding in accordance with their applicable Commitments.  Concurrently with, or prior to, the effectiveness of the Commitment Reduction, the Borrowers shall prepay all Revolving Loans incurred prior to the effectiveness of the Commitment Reduction and then outstanding.  In connection with such prepayment, the provisions of subsection 3.4 of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to notice from the Parent Borrower and minimum prepayment amounts, are hereby waived.

 

(d)                                 The provisions of this Section 1 shall terminate and no longer be effective if the TG Revolver Effective Date does not occur on or prior to March 31, 2014.

 

SECTION TWO                                                         Amendment No. 3 Effective Date Amendments.  Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that the Revolving Credit Agreement will be amended as provided in this Section, effective as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and without any further action or consent on any such party’s part or on the part of any of its successors, transferees or assigns to or of its rights or interests in or arising under any Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan (it being further understood and agreed that the
