 Item 1.01.             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

During May 2004, as discussed further in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders led by Bank of America, as agent, was renewed and extended until July 31, 2007.  The amended and restated agreement provided for a revolving credit line for up to $150 million limited by the available borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventories.  On March 2, 2005 the Company entered into an amendment to the revolving credit facility.  The results of the Company’s third quarter ended January 23, 2005 were such that the Company would have been out of compliance with the previous version of the financial performance covenant in the facility, and the amendment addressed that covenant issue. Further, however, the amended facility provides greater borrowing flexibility by raising the overall limit on borrowings to $175 million from $150 million, with an additional seasonal increase from October to April to $200 million.  In addition, a limitation on borrowing against inventory within the Company’s asset borrowing base has been raised from $85 million to $110 million, with a seasonal increase to $135 million for the December through April time period.  Furthermore, the borrowing base will be supplemented by an additional $15 million once the Company provides additional real estate collateral to the bank group, which it intends to do shortly.

 

Borrowings are secured by receivables, inventory and certain other assets, primarily real estate, and will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The original facility was subject to a financial performance covenant only in the event that the Company’s average monthly liquidity, defined as cash, cash equivalents and unused borrowing capacity, fell below certain established limits.  The Company did not meet these established limits for the months of December, 2004 and January, 2005, but it did satisfy the financial performance covenant, which was measured at that time by the Company’s performance for the four quarters ended October 26, 2004.  The new facility retains the same liquidity requirements, with one minor modification, but the financial performance covenants have been reset to levels that the Company currently expects will be achieved.  It was anticipated that the Company would not meet the established liquidity requirements when it reported its liquidity for the month of February and it would not then have been able to meet the original financial performance covenant, which would have been measured at that time by the Company’s performance in the quarter ended January 23, 2005.

 

In consideration for the amendments, including the increased amount of the line and enhancements to the borrowing base, Fleetwood paid an aggregate of $501,000 in fees.  The interest rate for revolving loans under the line was increased slightly, but may be reduced to prior levels in future quarters based on improvements in a fixed charge coverage ratio.  The amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

 

In addition, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. guarantees Fleetwood Retail Corp’s floorplan obligations to Textron Financial Corporation, and the Textron agreement contains covenants that mirror the bank amendment that have been reset to conform with the new bank amendment.  The Textron amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2.

owed by the Borrowers as a result thereof shall be paid on the next applicable payment date.  Failure to timely deliver any Financial Statements shall, in addition to any other remedy provided for in this Agreement, result in an increase in the Applicable Margins to the highest level set forth in the foregoing grid, until the first day of the first calendar month following the delivery of those Financial Statements demonstrating that such an increase is not required.  If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in the Applicable Margins is to be implemented, such reduction shall not occur.

(b)           The definition of “Borrowing Base” in Annex A of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by adding the following clause “(iii)” to clause (a) thereof:

(f)            The definition of “Minimum Liquidity Event” in Annex A of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by deleting such definition and replacing it with the following:

““Eligible Real Estate” means the Real Estate of FMC and Fleetwood which the Agent in the exercise of its reasonable commercial discretion determines to be Eligible Real Estate.  Without limiting the discretion of the Agent to establish other criteria of ineligibility, Eligible Real Estate shall not, unless the Agent in its sole discretion elects (which discretion cannot be exercised without the consent of Majority Lenders), include any Real Estate:

(a)           that is not owned in fee simple by FMC or Fleetwood and listed on Schedule B, hereto;

(b)           that is not subject to a recorded Mortgage which creates a first priority Lien to secure the Revolving Loans or that are subject to any other Lien whatsoever (other than the Liens securing the Term Loan and the Liens described in clauses (a), (d) or (e) of the definition of Permitted Liens provided that all such Liens are (i) junior in priority to the Agent’s Liens securing the Revolving Loans or subject to Reserves and (ii) do not impair directly or indirectly the ability of the Agent to realize on or obtain the full benefit of the Collateral);

(c)           that is not marketable;

(d)           that has not been appraised by an appraiser satisfactory to the Agent;

(e)           that is located outside the United States; or

(f)            that is subject to a lease or sublease in favor of any Person if the tenant or subtenant, as the case may be, has not delivered to the Agent a subordination and attornment agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

                WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain of the terms of the Agreement;

 

                NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

 

1.                                       All other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings provided therefore in the Agreement.

3.                                       The Agreement is further amended by deleting Schedule 9(L) and substituting in lieu thereof the Revised Schedule 9(L) attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

4.                                       Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and is in all respects hereby ratified and affirmed.

 

5.                                       This Amendment, and the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to such jurisdiction’s principles of conflicts of laws. If any provision of this Amendment is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

 

6.                                       This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and a facsimile signature shall suffice as original for all purposes.
