5.             Amendment of Section 2 [Revolving Credit Facility] of the Credit Agreement.  A new Article 2A shall be inserted immediately following Section 2.9 [Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments] of the Credit Agreement as follows:

 

“2A.        REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY CONVERSION.

 

2A.1        Effectiveness of Article 2 [Revolving Credit Facility].

 

The provisions of Article 2 of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect up to, but not including, the Third Amendment Effective Date, and thereafter shall be of no further force or effect.

 

2A.2        Conversion to Term Loans; Retention Advance; Restricted Proceeds; Updated Appraisals.

 

(a)           On and as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, without further action by any party, all Revolving Credit Loans of each Lender shall be converted to a single term loan (the “Term Loan” or

 

17



 

Term Loans”) of such Lender to the Borrower which Term Loan shall be in the principal amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender outstanding on such date, not to exceed $40,075,220.35 in the aggregate for all Lenders.  The Term Loans are not revolving credit loans and Borrower shall not have the right to borrow, repay, and reborrow under this Section.   Commencing on May 31, 2011, in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Term Loans exceed the Maximum Term Loan Amount, and in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Term Loans for each Lender exceed the lesser of (a) the respective amounts for each Lender as set forth on Schedule 1.1(B) and (b) such Lender’s ratable share of the Maximum Term Loan Amount.

 

(b)           Retention Advance.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no further advances shall be permitted under the Term Loans; provided, however, that the Agent and Lenders may, in their sole discretion, permit advances in the aggregate amount not to exceed $700,000 prior to December 31, 2010, the proceeds of which shall be used to fund the Retention Program (the “Retention Advance”).  As of the Third Amendment Effective Date, the sum of $700,000.00 has been advanced as a Retention Advance.  Borrower shall have no right to borrow, repay and reborrow the Retention Advance.  The Retention Advance shall be evidenced by the Retention Advance Notes in favor of the Lenders.  The Retention Advance Fee shall be deemed fully earned as of the date that the Retention Advance is advanced.  Borrower shall pay the Retention Advance Fee to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with their prior written agreement, payable in twelve (12) monthly installments of $5,000 each on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the date that the Retention Advance is made.  In the event Borrower fails to pay any portion of the Retention Advance Fee when due, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any unpaid portion of the Retention Advance Fee shall be immediately due and payable in full.

 

(c)           Restricted Proceeds; Updated Appraisals

 

(i)            Agent shall conduct an appraisal pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1.6 [Visitation Rights] for the period ending October 31, 2010 and shall conduct additional appraisals thereafter from time to time as Agent determines necessary or desirable, or as Borrower may request, but no less frequently than every 60 days (subject to Section 7.1.6 [Visitation Rights]) (each an “Updated Appraisal”). The Updated Appraisals shall be conducted at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.   In the event that any Updated Appraisal discloses that the Fair Market Value of the Collateral is less than the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, then Agent shall notify Borrower in writing (the “Over Advance

 

18



 

Notice”) of the amount by which the outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Fair Market Value of the Collateral (the “Over Advance”).

 

(ii)           As a condition to Agent and Lenders entering into the Third Amendment, Borrower agrees that it shall, contemporaneously with the closing of the Equity Raise: (A) deposit proceeds of the Equity Raise in an amount not less than the Over Advance (the “Restricted Proceeds”) into a cash collateral account at JP Morgan Chase, or another financial institution reasonably acceptable to Agent, pledged to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (the “Cash Collateral Account” ), as additional collateral security for the Loans; (B) execute and deliver the Cash Collateral Pledge Agreement in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders; and (C) cause an account control agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, to be executed and delivered in favor of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders by JP Morgan Chase, or another financial institution reasonably acceptable to Agent, as the depository bank holding the Restricted Proceeds.  Thereafter, in the event that the Over Advance at any time exceeds the Restricted Proceeds, Borrower shall within seven (7) days of receipt of an Over Advance Notice, without the necessity of any demand by Agent, make a mandatory deposit of additional funds into the Cash Collateral Account equal to the amount by which the Over Advance exceeds Restricted Proceeds.

 

(A)          In the event that the Borrower disagrees with the valuation of the Collateral resulting from an Updated Appraisal, Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense,  obtain a second appraisal of the same Collateral which was the subject of the Updated Appraisal,  prepared by an Acceptable Appraiser within the time limits and requirements set forth in this Section 2.A2(c)(ii)(A) (a “Second Appraisal”) provided that Borrower notifies the Agent in writing that it disagrees with the Over Advance determined with respect to an Updated Appraisal within four (4) days of the Over Advance Notice corresponding to the disputed Updated Appraisal (an “Appraisal Dispute Notice”).  If the Borrower delivers an Appraisal Dispute Notice then Borrower shall either  (i)  deposit the Over Advance specified in the Over Advance Notice in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with the terms of this Section 2A.2 (c) [Restricted Proceeds; Updated Appraisals] and deliver the Second Appraisal to Agent no later than 30 days following the Over Advance Notice, or (ii) deliver the Second Appraisal within fifteen (15) days of the Appraisal Dispute Notice and pay the Over Advance, as the same may be adjusted

 

19



 

pursuant to this Section 2.A2(c)(ii)(B) within twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the Second Appraisal.

 

(B)           In the event that the Second Appraisal concludes that the Fair Market Value of the Collateral is more than that determined by the Updated Appraisal, the Fair Market Value of the disputed Updated Appraisal and the Second Appraisal (but in no event more than one hundred  twenty-five percent (125%) of the Fair Market Value of the disputed Updated Appraisal) shall be added together and divided by two (2), resulting in an average of the Fair Market Value of the two appraisals for purposes of determining the Over Advance. In the event that the Borrower fails to provide the Appraisal Dispute Notice, fails to deposit the Over Advance to the extent required in Section 2A.2(c)(ii)(A)(ii), fails to deliver the Second Appraisal or fails to pay the adjusted Over Advance, if applicable, within the time periods specified herein, the Over Advance specified in the Over Advance Notice shall be final.

 

(iii)          In the event that:

 

(a) as a result of any Updated Appraisal, it is determined  that the amount of the Restricted Proceeds then deposited in the Cash Collateral Account exceeds the Over Advance, or

 

(b) the Borrower has deposited the Over Advance, and the Over Advance is subsequently reduced in connection with a Second Appraisal pursuant to the process described in Section 2A.2(c)(ii)(B),

 

then, to the extent, if any, that proceeds in excess of the Over Advance are being held in the Cash Collateral Account  (such excess amount being  the “Excess Restricted Proceeds”),  Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the amount of the Excess Restricted Proceeds and shall cause such Excess Restricted Proceeds to be deposited in the Remaining Proceeds Account within seven (7) days of determination thereof.

 

(iv)         In addition, and as a condition to Agent and Lenders entering into the Third Amendment, Borrower agrees that it shall, contemporaneously with the closing of the Equity Raise: (A) deposit the Net Proceeds less the Restricted Proceeds (the “Remaining Proceeds”) into a cash collateral account at JP Morgan Chase, or another financial institution reasonably acceptable to Agent, pledged to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (the “Remaining Proceeds Account” ), as additional collateral security

 

20


 

for the Loans; (B) execute and deliver the Remaining Proceeds Pledge Agreement in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders; and (C) cause a springing account control agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, to be executed and delivered in favor of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders by JP Morgan Chase, or another financial institution reasonably acceptable to Agent, as the depository bank holding the Remaining Proceeds. Provided no Event of Default is in existence, the Remaining Proceeds may only be used by Borrower to fund ordinary and customary working capital expenses of NewCo, then servicing fees payable by Alarm Funding to CastleRock as and when due in accordance with the CastleRock Servicer Agreement to the extent not funded pursuant to Section 2A.3, and then, to the extent available, Permitted Acquisitions.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Borrower be permitted to make Permitted Acquisitions unless the Equity Raise has occurred and the Restricted Proceeds and the Remaining Proceeds have been deposited in accordance with Section 2A.2(c) [Restricted Proceeds; Updated Appraisals] On or before the Deposit Date, Borrower will provide Agent with wire instructions to effect the transfer of any Excess Restricted Proceeds to the Remaining Proceeds Account. In no event shall Remaining Proceeds be used to pay for the monitoring or servicing of any Security Alarm Contracts, including NewCo Contracts, acquired by any Permitted Subsidiary or for the working capital of any Subsidiary of NewCo.

 

(v)           Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw funds for purposes permitted under Section 2A.2 (c)(iv) from the Remaining Proceeds Account, provided that:

 

(1)           no Event of Default or Potential Default exists at the time that Borrower makes a withdrawal from the Remaining Proceeds Account;

 

(2)           to the extent that Remaining Proceeds are available to fund Permitted Acquisitions pursuant to Section 2A.2(c)(iv), the Remaining Proceeds shall be used solely to fund one or more  Permitted Acquisitions which shall comply with all the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions], and to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsections (c), (d), (e) and (f) of Section 7.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures]; and

 

(3)           Borrower shall deliver to Agent a signed certificate each month certifying that all amounts drawn from the Remaining Proceeds Account in the previous

 

21



 

month were withdrawn in compliance with Section 2A.2 (c)(v) (1) and (2), to the extent applicable.

 

(vi)          Borrower will have until May 31, 2011 to either: (1) acquire sufficient additional Collateral to eliminate any Over Advance (for the avoidance of doubt, the additional Collateral will be valued using the same valuation methodology that was used to determine the Over Advance) or (2) repay in full the total amount of the Over Advance as of that date.  In the event that NewCo has failed to eliminate any Over Advance existing as of May 31, 2011, whether by acquisition of additional Collateral or repayment of the Over Advance, then the Restricted Proceeds in the amount of the then existing Over Advance shall be paid to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders no later than June 1, 2011 as a prepayment of the Loans, and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and the Maximum Term Loan Amount shall be reduced by such prepayment.  After such prepayment, the balance of the Remaining Proceeds shall continue to be held in the Remaining Proceeds Account, subject to release in accordance with Section 2.A(c)(v) (1), (2) and (3).

 

2A.3        Nature of Lenders’ Obligations With Respect to Term Loans and Retention Advance; Repayment Terms.

 

The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Term Loans hereunder after the Third Amendment Effective Date.  The Term Loans and the Retention Advance shall be payable from the collections received by Agent from the Blocked Accounts in the following order:  (i) interest due and payable on the Loans, (ii) fees and expenses due and payable to Agent and Lenders under the Credit Documents, (iii) the servicing fees due and payable to CastleRock, (iv) such other expenses of Borrower approved by Agent, including an amount not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate to compensate the Business Management Consultant, (v) unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan, and (vi) unpaid principal balance of the Retention Advance.

2A.4        Term Loan Fees.

 

(a)           Borrower agrees to pay in advance to Agent, for the account of each Lender as consideration for such Lender’s Loan, a facility fee (the “Annual Fee”).  The Annual Fee shall be paid as follows:

 

22



 

(i)            On May 25, 2010, .50% of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding on such date;
