The Amendment No. 1 amends the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated July 25, 2007 (the “ABL Facility”), between Gregg Appliances, Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, Wachovia, as syndication agent, and the lenders party thereto.
Amendment No. 1 increases the maximum amount available under the ABL Facility from $100 million to $125 million, subject to borrowing base availability.
Under the ABL Facility, as amended by Amendment No. 1, borrowings from time to time shall not exceed a defined borrowing base. Pursuant to the Amendment No. 1, the borrowing base was modified to equal the sum of (i) the lesser of (a) 90.0% of the net orderly liquidation value of all eligible inventories of Gregg Appliances and (b) 75% of the net book value of such eligible inventory and (ii) 90% of all commercial and credit card receivables of Gregg Appliances, in each case subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria. Prior to the amendment, the borrowing base equaled the sum of (i) the lesser of (a) 93% (96% during a seasonal period) of the net orderly liquidation value of all eligible inventory of Gregg Appliances and (b) 75% of the net book value of such eligible inventory and (ii) 90% of all commercial and credit card receivables of Gregg Appliances, in each case subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria.
Amendment No. 1 requires payment to the incremental lenders of a commitment fee equal to 5.0% of the incremental lender’s incremental commitment, or $1,250,000.
Under the ABL Facility, as amended by Amendment No.1, Gregg Appliances is not required to comply with any financial maintenance covenant, unless it has less than $18.75 million of “excess availability” at any time, (compared to $8.5 million prior to the amendment) during the continuance of which event Gregg Appliances is subject to compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.0. The amendment allows up to $5.0 million of suppressed availability to be included in the total of “excess availability” for the months of October through November.
The amendment also modifies the trigger point for the initiation of cash dominion control Prior to the amendment, if Gregg Appliances had less than $8.5 million of “excess availability”, it would, in certain circumstances, becomes subject to cash dominion control. Pursuant to the Amendment No. 1, if Gregg Appliances has less than $18.75 million of “excess availability,” it may, in certain circumstances more specifically described in the ABL Facility, as amended by Amendment No. 1, become subject to cash dominion control.
