Amendment No. 5 to Receivables Purchase Agreement
On May 31, 2011, the Company and the other parties thereto entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment
No. 5”) to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2009 (as amended, the
“Receivables Facility Agreement”). Amendment No. 5 extends the term of the facility to May 30,
2014, subject to possible earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain events. Pricing
continues to be based on the Alternate Base Rate, a LIBOR market
index rate or LIBOR for a specified tranche
period plus a margin, but the margin has been reduced from 1.75% under the prior facility to 1.00%
under the amended facility. This margin will increase to 1.25% if the Company does not maintain a
public debt rating of at least BB+/Ba1/BB+ from any two of Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch. In
addition, a monthly unused fee is payable to the purchasers.
Amendment No. 5 also modifies or eliminates certain of the
financial covenants under the Receivables Facilities Agreement. Under the terms of the amended
leverage ratio covenant, the Company may not permit its consolidated indebtedness calculated on the
last day of each fiscal quarter to exceed 60% of the sum of such indebtedness and the Company’s
consolidated shareholders’ equity on such date, increasing the
prior covenant from 55% of such amount. The interest coverage ratio
covenant continues to require
that the Company not permit the ratio, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the four
fiscal quarters then ended, of EBITDA to interest expense for such period to be
less than 3.5:1. Finally, the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the prior facility has
been deleted. The financial tests that remain in the Receivables Facility Agreement are
substantially identical to the financial covenants already contained in the Company’s revolving
credit facility.
The foregoing discussion of Amendment No. 5 does not purport to be complete and is subject to and
qualified in its entirety by the full text of Amendment No. 5, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1
hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.
