The Term Amendment (i) provides for the refinancing or replacement of not less than 85% of the existing tranche B-2 term loans held by lenders that are not affiliates of the Company under the Existing Credit Agreement with new first lien term loans (the “First Lien Term Loans”) under the Term Credit Agreement, (ii) provides for the reallocation of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the tranche B-2 term loans under the Existing Term Credit Agreement held by lenders that are affiliates of the Company to a new senior secured second lien facility (the “Second Lien Facility”), (iii) permits an exchange of the Borrower’s Senior Notes for new senior secured notes all or partially payable in kind and with a later maturity date, (iv) increases the mandatory prepayment threshold for excess cash flow of the Company from 50% to 100% commencing with the fiscal year ending January 25, 2019, (v) permits the Company to reinvest $5,000,000 of the net cash proceeds received or realized after the Amendment Date from certain asset sales (including sale leaseback transactions) or recovery events, (vi) eliminates any incremental capacity after the Amendment Date, (vi) reduces certain thresholds in the negative covenants in a manner consistent with certain features of the ABL facility, (vii) adds certain unencumbered real property of the Company as collateral for the First Lien Term Loans, as more particularly described under “Entry into Second Lien Facility” below, and (viii) permits certain other modifications as set forth in the Term Amendment. Upon the effectiveness of the Term Amendment, approximately $399.2 million of the term loans under the Existing Credit Agreement held by lenders that are not affiliates of the Company were converted into First Lien Term Loans (and approximately $34.7 million of tranche B-2 loans under the Term Credit Agreement are expected to be converted after the consummation of the Term Amendment) and, upon the effectiveness of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, approximately $130 million of tranche B-2 term loans held by lenders that are affiliates of the Company under the Existing Term Credit Agreement were reallocated to the Second Lien Facility.

The First Lien Term Loans bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate plus 6.50% (5.00% to be payable in cash and 1.50% to be payable in-kind) or the Base Rate plus 5.50% (4.00% to be payable in cash and 1.50% to be payable in-kind (“PIK”)); provided that, the Company may, at its option and upon notice to the First Lien Administrative Agent, pay all or any portion of the PIK interest in cash. The Eurocurrency rate is subject to a floor of 1.0%. The First Lien Term Loans shall be payable in equal quarterly installments of 1% per annum, with the balance payable on the scheduled maturity date (the “First Lien Maturity Date”), which was extended to January 13, 2022; provided that, if less than 95% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes outstanding on the Amendment Date has been converted, redeemed, repurchased or refinanced in full on or before the date that is three business days prior to June 1, 2019, such that the stated maturity date in respect of the Senior Notes (other than up to 5% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes) is at least 91 days after January 13, 2022, then the First Lien Maturity Date will be June 1, 2019.

The Company may prepay or reprice the First Lien Term Loans, in whole or in part, at any time, with payment of a prepayment premium equal to (a) 2.0% of principal amount prepaid or repriced if made during the first two years of the Amendment Date and (b) 1.0% of principal amount prepaid or repriced if made after the second anniversary of Amendment Date but before the third anniversary of the Amendment Date. Thereafter, no prepayment premium is applicable.

Tranche B-2 term loans that remain outstanding under the Term Credit Agreement after the Amendment Date (a) will not benefit from certain covenants and the events of default governing the First Lien Term Loan, other than those relating to payment, security or insolvency and (b) may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Company in the Company’s sole discretion.

Amendment to ABL Credit Facility

In connection with the Term Amendment, the Company, Parent, the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “ABL Administrative Agent”), and the other lenders party thereto entered into Amendment No. 6 to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL Amendment”) amending the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of January 13, 2012 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2012, Amendment No. 2 to the ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of October 8, 2013, Amendment No. 3 to the ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2015, Amendment No. 4 to the ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2016, and Amendment No. 5 to the ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of September 6, 2017, the “ABL Credit Agreement”).

The ABL Amendment provides for certain modifications to the ABL Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date of the FILO facility and revolving facility under the ABL Credit Agreement to a date that is 91 days prior to the First Lien Maturity Date, (ii) permit an exchange of the Borrower’s Senior Notes for new senior secured notes partially payable in kind and with a later maturity date, (iii) permit the refinancing of the tranche B-2 loans under the Company’s Existing Term Credit Agreement for First Lien Term Loans, (iv) permit the Second Lien Facility and (v) permit certain other modifications as set forth in the ABL Amendment.

In connection with the Term Amendment, the Company, Parent, the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Second Lien Administrative Agent”), and the lenders from time to time party thereto, entered into that certain Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”). The loans under the Second Lien Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Eurocurrency rate plus 8.50% or the Base Rate plus 7.50%, in each case, in the form of PIK interest. The Eurocurrency rate is subject to a floor of 1.0%. The maturity date of the Second Lien Facility will be 91 days after the First Lien Maturity Date. The Second Lien Facility is secured by a second lien on the same collateral assets as the First Lien Term Loans and a third lien on the ABL-priority collateral assets, and is guaranteed by the same guarantors as the First Lien Term Loans and the ABL Facility.

The Second Lien Facility contains prepayment provisions, covenants and events of default that are substantially similar to the First Lien Term Loans.

Pursuant to the Second Lien Guaranty, all obligations under the Second Lien Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Parent and certain of the Company’s existing wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, and are required to be guaranteed by certain of the Company’s future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries. In connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Company, Parent, the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent (the “Second Lien Collateral Agent”), and the lenders from time to time party thereto, entered into the Second Lien Security Agreement (the “Second Lien Security Agreement”), providing that all obligations under the Second Lien Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to certain exceptions, on a second-priority basis by substantially all of the assets of the Company and Parent and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries that have guaranteed the credit facility under the Term Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Term Amendment, ABL Amendment and Second Lien Credit Agreement, in addition to the collateral securing the Existing Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement, (i) the term facility under the Term Credit Agreement will be secured by a first-priority mortgage on all unencumbered fee-owned real property of the Company other than certain property designated as excluded real property by the Company on the Amendment Date or that is eligible for an exempt sale-leaseback transaction (the “Real Estate Collateral”), (ii) the Second Lien Facility will be secured by a second-priority mortgage on the Real Estate Collateral, (iii) the ABL facility will be secured by a third-priority mortgage on the Real Estate Collateral.
