ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On March 28, 2008, The Penn Traffic Company (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into amendments, each dated as of March 27, 2008, to (i) its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2005 (as amended, the “GE Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, various of its subsidiaries, General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”), as agent and lender, and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the “GE Lenders”) and (ii) its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2005 (as amended, the “Kimco Credit Agreement” and together with the GE Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), by and among the Company, various of its subsidiaries and Kimco Capital Corp. (“Kimco”), as agent and lender, and the other lenders party thereto. We refer to the amendment to the GE Credit Agreement referred to above as the “GE Amendment” and refer to the amendment to the Kimco Credit Agreement referred to above as the “Kimco Amendment.”

The GE Amendment:

 

extends the GE Credit Agreement until April 13, 2010;

 

removes the requirement that the Borrowers comply with the financial covenants contained in the GE Credit Agreement (although the Company will still be required to deliver to the GE Lenders certificates showing the Borrowers’ results measured under such covenants);

 

increases the interest rates payable by the Company on borrowings under the GE Credit Agreement by 0.25%;

 

requires the Company, pursuant to Section 3.6 of the GE Credit Agreement, to grant to the GE Lenders a second priority lien (second only to the liens granted under the Kimco Credit Agreement) on certain leased properties of the Borrowers; and

 

amends the events of default under the GE Credit Agreement such that the Company may not have Excess Revolver Availability (as defined in the GE Credit Agreement) below (i) on or prior to April 13, 2009, $27.5 million for four consecutive days or $25 million on any day or (ii) at any time thereafter, $30.0 million.

The Kimco Amendment:

 

extends the Kimco Credit Agreement until April 13, 2009 and provides for the automatic extension thereof until April 13, 2010 if certain extension conditions are satisfied (the conditions include payment of an extension fee equal to 1% of the amount of term loans outstanding under the Kimco Credit Agreement on April 13, 2009 and satisfaction of certain financial ratios);

 

permits the Borrowers to make borrowings subject to a rate of interest equal to either the Index Rate (as defined in the Kimco Credit Agreement) plus 9% or LIBOR plus 10% (provided that at no time shall the interest rate be below 15%);

 

 



 

 

 

 

provides for an early termination fee in the event of a repayment or prepayment of the loans outstanding under the Kimco Credit Agreement if such repayment or prepayment occurs between April 13, 2008 and April 13, 2009;

 

permits the Company to dispose of certain leased properties, provided that the Company applies the net proceeds from such dispositions to repay a portion of the amount outstanding under the Kimco Credit Agreement; and

 

removes the requirement that the Borrowers comply with the financial covenants contained in the Kimco Credit Agreement (although the Company will still be required to deliver to Kimco certificates showing the Borrowers’ results measured under such covenants).

The Borrowers will pay an amendment fee to Kimco and to the GE Lenders that agree to GE Amendment. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy the conditions, including the financial ratios, required for extension of the Kimco Credit Agreement to April 13, 2010.

The above descriptions are qualified by reference to the copies of the amendments to the Credit Agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Borrowers, Agent, and Lenders are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2005 (including all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, and as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Agent and Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement, in the manner, and on the terms and conditions, provided for herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.           Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement or Annex A thereto.

2.           Amendment to Section 1.5(a) of the Credit Agreement. Section 1.5(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date by inserting the following new paragraph at the end thereof:

3.           Amendment to Section 1.9(c) of the Credit Agreement. Section 1.9(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date by amending and restating it in its entirety to read as follows:

“If Borrowers pay after acceleration or prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan, whether voluntarily or involuntarily and whether before or after acceleration of the Obligations, or if the Term Loan Commitment is otherwise terminated, in any case prior to April 13, 2009, subject to the proviso in Section 1.3(c), Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Term Lenders, as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available hereunder, an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage (as defined below) multiplied by the sum of the principal amount of the Term Loan so paid after acceleration or prepaid (such amount, the “Applicable Premium”); provided, however, that the Requisite Term Lenders may elect, by written notice to Agent prior to the date of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan, to decline such mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan; provided, further, that in the event that all of the outstanding Obligations are refinanced in full prior to April 13, 2009 and GE Capital acts as administrative agent for such refinancing, the Term Lenders agree to waive any Applicable Premium which may be due and payable as a result of the prepayment of the Term Loans made pursuant thereto. As used herein, the term “Applicable Percentage” shall mean (x) three percent (3.00%), in the case of any such payment or prepayment made on or prior to October 13, 2008, (y) two percent (2.00%), in the case of any such payment or prepayment made after October 13, 2008 but prior to January 13, 2009 and (z) one percent (1.00%), in the case of any such payment or prepayment made after January 13, 2009 but prior to April 13, 2009. The Credit Parties agree that the Applicable Percentages are a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early termination of the Term Loan Commitments.”

Such indemnification shall include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant LIBOR Period; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. As promptly as practicable under the circumstances, but in no event later that ninety (90) days after a Lender has notice thereof, each Lender shall provide Borrower Representative with its written calculation of all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(b), and such calculation shall be binding on the parties hereto unless Borrower Representative shall object in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in detail.”
