As previously disclosed, on October 17, 2008, WorldSpace, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware. In connection with these proceedings, on November 5, 2008, the Borrowers entered into a Senior Secured Super Priority Priming Debtor in Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) with Citadel Energy Holdings LLC, Highbridge International LLC, OZ Master Fund, Ltd., and Silver Oak Capital LLC, as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”). The DIP Credit Agreement was subsequently amended by three amendments dated as of January 6, 2009, January 29, 2009 and February 6, 2009, respectively.
On February 27, 2009, the Borrowers obtained the necessary consents to further amend the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the DIP Credit Agreement and a related deadline for the completion of their sales process to March 6, 2009. The Borrowers and the Lenders subsequently executed Amendment No. 3 to the DIP Credit Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2009 (the “Third Amendment”).
The foregoing description of the Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Third Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
