EXHIBIT 10.21
AMENDMENT NUMBER FOUR TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Amendment Number Four to Loan and Security Agreement
("Amendment") is entered into as of November 11, 2002, by and among Greyhound
Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), on the one hand, and the
various financial institutions that are or may from time to time become parties
to the Agreement referred to below (collectively, the "Lenders" and each
individually a "Lender"), and Foothill Capital Corporation, a California
corporation, as agent for the Lenders ("Agent"), on the other hand, in light of
the following:
A. Borrower, Lenders, and Agent have previously entered into
that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2000 (as
amended or modified, from time to time, the "Agreement").
B. Borrower, Required Lenders, and Agent desire to amend the
Agreement as provided for and on the conditions herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby amend and supplement the Agreement as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. All initially capitalized terms used in this
Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement unless
specifically defined herein.
2. AMENDMENTS.
(a) The definitions of "Consolidated Cash Flow" and
"Consolidated Net Worth" in Section 1.1 of the Agreement are amended to read as
follows:
"Consolidated Cash Flow" means, with respect to any
Person for any period, the Consolidated Net Income of such Person for
such period reduced by cash payments under Borrower's pension plans, net
of any payments made by Laidlaw or one of its Affiliates other than
Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries, plus, to the extent deducted or
excluded in calculating Consolidated Net Income for such period, (a) an
amount equal to any extraordinary loss plus any net loss realized in
connection with an asset sale, (b) provision for taxes based on income
or profits of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries, (c)
Consolidated Interest Expense, (d) pension expense of Borrower, and (e)
depreciation and amortization (including amortization of goodwill and
other intangibles but excluding amortization of prepaid cash expenses
that were paid in a prior period) of such Person and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, in each case, on a consolidated basis and determined in
accordance with GAAP.
"Consolidated Net Worth" means, with respect to any
Person as of any date, the sum of (a) the consolidated equity of the
common stockholders of such Person and its consolidated Restricted
Subsidiaries as of
1
such date; plus (b) the respective amounts reported on such Person's
balance sheet as of such date with respect to any series of preferred
stock (other than Disqualified Stock) that by its terms is not entitled
to the payment of dividends unless such dividends may be declared and
paid only out of net earnings in respect of the year of such declaration
and payment, but only to the extent of any cash received by such Person
upon issuance of such preferred stock; plus (c) the non-cash amount by
which the consolidated equity described in clause (a) above has been
reduced due to the recognition of a minimum pension liability of
Borrower for periods prior to June 30, 2002 in an amount not to exceed
$30,000,000, and for any additional increases in the minimum pension
liability recorded during the period commencing July 1, 2002 and ending
December 31, 2002; plus (d) in the case of Borrower, the amount of
Indebtedness evidenced by, and subordinated to the Obligations by, the
Intercompany Agreement; plus (e) the amount (but in no event more than
$43,087,000) by which the consolidated equity described in clause (a)
above has been reduced as a result of any impairment adjustment that
results from Borrower's application of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142; plus (f) the decrease in consolidated equity
described in clause (a) above due to deferred tax adjustments recorded
in 2002; provided, however, that increases in consolidated equity
described in clause (a) above due to adjustments to the deferred tax
asset recorded after December 31, 2002 shall decrease Consolidated Net
Worth."
(b) Section 6.18 of the Agreement is amended to read
as follows:
"6.18 UPDATED CURRENT APPRAISALS. At any time on or
after January 1, 2002, the Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may
require new appraisals on the Vehicles or the Core Real Property
Collateral. Borrower will cooperate with all reasonable requests and do
all acts reasonably required by Agent and any Persons employed by them
as appraisers in order to assure the timely completion of such new
appraisals, and Borrower shall pay to Agent the actual charges paid or
incurred by Agent for one appraisal in each calendar year for each of
the Vehicles and Core Real Property Collateral."
(c) The Agreement is amended to add Section 6.19
which shall read as follows:
"6.19 AVAILABILITY. At all times during the term of
this Agreement, Borrower shall have either (a) at least $20,000,000 of
excess Availability under Section 2.1(a) with Borrower's accounts
payable being no less current than Borrower's historical practices or
(b) a Borrowing Base of at least $145,000,000."
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower hereby affirms to
Agent and the Lenders that all of Borrower's representations and warranties set
forth in the Agreement are true, complete and accurate in all material respects
as of the date hereof (except to the extent that such representations and
warranties relate solely to an earlier event).
2
4. NO DEFAULTS. Borrower hereby affirms to Agent and the
Lenders that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date
hereof.
5. CONDITION PRECEDENT. The effectiveness of this Amendment is
expressly conditioned upon the receipt by Agent of a copy of this Amendment
executed by Borrower and Required Lenders.
6. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay to Agent all of
Agent's reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel, which counsel may include any
local counsel deemed necessary, search fees, filing and recording fees,
documentation fees, title insurance endorsement, and other fees) arising in
connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of this Amendment and
all related documents.
7. LIMITED EFFECT. In the event of a conflict between the
terms and provisions of this Amendment and the terms and provisions of the
Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall govern. In all other
respects, the Agreement, as amended and supplemented hereby, shall remain in
full force and effect.
8. COUNTERPARTS, EFFECTIVENESS. This Amendment may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original.
All such counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
Amendment. This Amendment shall become effective upon the execution of a
counterpart of this Amendment by each of the parties hereto.
