7. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and each Party shall be released from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement and shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Recapitalization or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any termination of this Agreement, any and all votes or consents tendered by the Consenting Holdings signatory hereto with respect to the Recapitalization prior to such termination shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by Holdings, the Company or any Guarantor in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.
8. SoundPoint Board Seat. In connection with the Recapitalization, the board of directors of Holdings (the “Holdings Board”) shall be expanded to be comprised of nine (9) members as of the closing date of the Recapitalization (the “Closing Date”).
As of the Closing Date, SoundPoint shall have the right to designate one (1) individual (the “SP Director”) to serve, and who shall be elected, as a member of the Holdings Board effective as of the Closing Date and who shall have the same rights, duties and protections as a director as the other members of the Holdings Board. The SP Director shall be entitled to serve on the Holdings Board for an initial period that begins on the Closing Date and ends on the later of (i) the date that is the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the date of Holdings’ 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, with such initial period eligible to be extended beyond that two-year anniversary and for additional one-year terms thereafter, in each case subject to the requisite approval of Holdings’ stockholders; provided, however that the SP Director shall resign from the Holdings Board and SoundPoint’s foregoing board designation right shall terminate permanently if at any time SoundPoint owns or controls directly or indirectly less than either (x) 87.5% of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan owned or controlled by SoundPoint or its affiliates on the Closing Date or (y) 90% of the aggregate amount of shares of the capital stock of Holdings owned or controlled by SoundPoint or its affiliates on the Closing Date as a result of sales or transfers of shares of Holdings capital stock by SoundPoint or its affiliates to unaffiliated third parties. SoundPoint shall have the right to nominate a replacement to serve as the SP Director during the initial two-year period and any subsequent terms approved as set out above in the event that the individual nominated as the SP Director is no longer able to serve on the Holdings Board during such periods. SoundPoint’s board designation right shall be personal to SoundPoint and may not be transferred or assigned to any party.
For so long as the SP Director continues to serve on the Holdings Board in accordance with the foregoing right, SoundPoint waives any rights it may have to designate one or more members of the Holdings Board under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2009 among Holdings and the holders of the common stock that are parties thereto (the “Holdings Stockholders Agreement”). In the event that the SP Director is no longer entitled to serve in accordance with the foregoing, then such waiver shall automatically terminate, and SoundPoint shall be entitled to any and all rights to designate a member of the Holdings Board as may be provided to stockholders of Holdings in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Holdings Stockholders Agreement as in effect from time to time.

$125,000,000 SENIOR UNSECURED CREDIT FACILITY
SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Set forth below is a summary of the principal terms and conditions for the amendments to the Existing Facility (as defined below). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Existing Facility or be substantially the same as such terms. Except as specifically set forth herein or otherwise agreed to by the Borrower (as defined below), all of the other terms and conditions of the Existing Facility shall remain in effect without modification thereto.
|
| |
PARTIES/EXISTING FACILITY | |
Borrower: | Euramax International, Inc. (the “Borrower”). |
Guarantors: | Same as Existing Facility, but in all cases the same as the new senior secured notes (and/or any other debt financing, secured or unsecured, incurred to refinance the existing secured notes) in aggregate principal amount of $385 million (the “New Debt Financing”) on an unsecured basis. |
Amendment Closing Date: | The date of the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to be set forth in the definitive documentation and which are set forth on Annex A attached hereto (the “Closing Date”), which is currently expected to occur in August 2015. |
Existing Facility: | $125.0 million unsecured loan facility governed by that certain credit and guaranty agreement dated March 3, 2011 among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Existing Facility”), the principal amount of which will be increased by the amount of the Upfront Fee set forth below. |
AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING FACILITY | |
Maturity: | Extend the maturity until 5.5-years after the Closing Date. |
|
| |
Interest Rate: | Commencing with the first Interest Payment Date following the Closing Date, (I) Until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, per annum pay-in-kind interest (“PIK Interest”) equal to the Cash Interest Rate (as defined below) plus 2% per annum; and (II) After the second anniversary of the Closing Date Unutilized revolving facility availability” shall mean, as of any date of determination the excess of (A) the lesser of (i) the aggregate commitments under Borrower’s existing revolving credit facility from time to time together with any new revolving credit facilities as of such date and (ii) the aggregate amount of the borrowing base(s) under such revolving credit facilities as of such date over (B) the aggregate amounts of loans and letters of credit outstanding under such revolving credit facilities as of such date : if (x) the Borrower would be in compliance with the Financial Test (as defined below) and (y) the Borrower would have a minimum liquidity (calculated with unrestricted cash and unutilized revolving credit facility availability) of not less than $50.0 million the Borrower shall pay, with respect to any Interest Period, interest in cash at the Cash Interest Rate on 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans (the “Cash Portion of Interest”) and interest paid in kind on 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans at the PIK Interest Rate; provided, however, that the Borrower may, upon delivery to the Lenders of a certificate executed by the Borrower’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer to the effect that payment of the Cash Portion of Interest in cash would, in their reasonable judgment result in an adverse effect on the Borrower based upon its then current and projected financial condition and forecasts, pay in kind the Cash Portion of Interest (other than the Minimum Cash Interest (as defined below) that is required to be paid in cash) at the PIK Interest Rate for not more than one Interest Period in any rolling four quarter period commencing with the first full quarter after the second anniversary of the Closing Date; and if (x) the Borrower would not be in compliance with the Financial Test or (y) minimum liquidity (calculated with unrestricted cash and unutilized revolving credit facility availability) is less than $50.0 million, interest shall be paid in kind at the Interest Rate equal to the PIK Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of clauses (I) and (II) above, at least 2% per annum of the applicable interest rate shall be paid in cash (the “Minimum Cash Interest”). Cash Interest Rate: the interest rate equal to (i) the coupon on the New Debt Financing, plus (ii) the increase in yield, if any, above the coupon on such New Debt Financing in the form of original issue discount and/or upfront fees (based on an assumed four-year average life to maturity; e.g. 100 basis points of OID or upfront fees equals 25 basis points in additional interest rate) on the New Senior Secured Debt Financing (it being understood that such increase in yield shall be reflected in the form of increased rate for purposes of the Term Loans), plus 2.00% per annum. If interest on the New Senior Secured Debt Financing is floating, such floating rate will be converted to a fixed rate based on customary methodology to be mutually agreed PIK Interest Rate: PIK Interest with respect to any Interest Period as to which a PIK Election has been made equal to the Cash Interest Rate plus 2.00% per annum (such per annum rate, the “PIK Interest Rate”). Financial Test: shall be defined as the compliance with, as of the last day of the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements are internally available, a Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio (the ratio of Consolidated Secured Indebtedness (as defined in the Existing Facility and calculated net of unrestricted cash) to trailing four quarter Consolidated Cash Flow) of equal to or less than 4.00 to 1.00. The Financial Test shall be calculated on a pro forma basis consistent with the terms under the Existing Facility. |
|
| |
AHYDO Prepayments: | The Term Loans will include a customary AHYDO “catch-up” payment provision. |
Voluntary Prepayments: | The Term Loans will be voluntarily prepayable at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Borrower, upon notice and in minimum principal amounts and in multiples to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty (except breakage costs). |
Negative Covenant Changes: | Will be set at levels no less restrictive on the Borrower than provided under the terms of the New Debt Financing. |
Upfront Fee: | The Lenders of the Term Loans will be entitled to an upfront fee of 2.00% of the principal amount of Term Loans held thereof by such Lender on the Closing Date, and shall receive such fee in the form of an increase in principal amount of the Term Loans. |
| |
SUPPORT AGREEMENT LOCKUP PERIOD: | From the date of the Lockup and Support Agreement until September 15, 2015. |
WARRANTS | The Borrower will issue detachable warrants (the “Warrants”) ratably to the Lenders representing the right to purchase in aggregate up to 5% of the equity of Euramax Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) on a fully diluted basis (after giving effect to the exercise of the Warrants and to the exercise and conversion of all other outstanding securities and options and including all shares reserved for future issuance under any stock option and similar plan and including any shares, options or otherwise issued or issuable to the incoming CEO and to any other members of management during the term of the warrant). The Warrants will have a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per share. Warrants may be exercised at the option of the holder on a cashless basis. The Warrants will expire ten (10) years from the date of issuance. The Warrants will contain mutually agreeable anti-dilution provisions, put rights, tag-along rights and drag-along rights. |
|
| |
BOARD SEAT | SoundPoint shall have the right to designate one individual (the “SP Director”) to serve, and who shall be elected, as a member of the Board of Directors of Holdings (the “Holdings Board”), effective as of the Closing Date and who shall have the same rights, duties and protections as a director as the other members of the Holdings Board. The SP Director shall be entitled to serve on the Holdings Board for an initial period that begins on the Closing Date and ends on the later of (i) the date that is the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the date of Holdings’ 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, with such initial period eligible to be extended beyond that two-year anniversary date and for additional one-year terms thereafter, in each case subject to the requisite approval of Holdings’ stockholders; provided, however that the SP Director shall resign from the Holdings Board and SoundPoint’s foregoing board designation right shall terminate permanently if at any time SoundPoint owns or controls directly or indirectly less than either (x) 87.5% of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan owned or controlled by SoundPoint or its affiliates on the Closing Date or (y) 90% of the aggregate amount of shares of the capital stock of Holdings owned or controlled by SoundPoint or its affiliates on the Closing Date as a result of sales or transfers of shares of Holdings capital stock by SoundPoint or its affiliates to unaffiliated third parties. SoundPoint shall have the right to nominate a replacement to serve as the SP Director during the initial two-year period and any subsequent terms approved as set out above in the event that the individual nominated as the SP Director is no longer able to serve on the Holdings Board during such periods.
