The Third Amendment, among other things, (a) grants the lender’s consent to the formation of two new subsidiaries of the Company (the “New Subsidiaries”), (b) waives the requirement that the New Subsidiaries deliver a mortgage or deed of trust and related documentation to the lender in connection with their acquisition of certain real estate in Southfield, Michigan and Fort Worth, Texas, (c) amends the covenant regarding investments to provide that the aggregate amount of investments made by a Credit Party (as defined in Credit Agreement) in the New Subsidiaries shall not exceed $8 million in the aggregate, and (d) amends the indebtedness covenant to provide that intercompany loans and advances to the New Subsidiaries may not exceed $8 million in the aggregate less the amount of any investments made by Credit Parties in the New Subsidiaries and to permit intercompany loans by the New Subsidiaries to other Credit Parties on a subordinated basis.
The revolving line of credit is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ existing and after-acquired personal property assets and all after-acquired real property assets. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to affirmative and negative covenants under the Credit Agreement.
A copy of the Third Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summary description of the Third Amendment is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Third Amendment.
