Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (“ALC”) is party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 18, 2011 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of May 18, 2012, Waiver and Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of August 1, 2012, and Waiver and Amendment No. 3 thereto, dated as of December 31, 2012, the “Credit Agreement”) among ALC, the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and, individually, a “Lender”), and U.S. Bank National Association, in its separate capacities as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent for the Lenders, as swingline lender, and as a letter of credit issuer (in such capacity, the “L/C Issuer”).

On June 28, 2013, ALC entered into Waiver & Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. The Amendment became effective on June 30, 2013 in accordance with its terms. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Lenders waived any noncompliance with Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement (Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) which occurs on or before August 2, 2013.

In addition, the Amendment includes the following terms, among others:

 
The Administrative Agent will no longer release any mortgage (i) which was granted to the Administrative Agent on any mortgaged property after December 31, 2012, (ii) which is no longer an eligible mortgaged property and (iii) which has been replaced by mortgages on one or more additional mortgaged properties.

 
The default rate of interest under the Credit Agreement is now 4% per annum (rather than 2% per annum) in excess of the interest rate applicable to the obligations owing under the Credit Agreement.

 
ALC will deliver to the Administrative Agent, within 45 days after the end of each of the first eleven monthly periods of each fiscal year of ALC, a report detailing any extraordinary, unusual, special, one-time or non-recurring expenses or charges paid or incurred (i) in the prior month and (ii) in the fiscal year to date, with the first such report to be delivered for the period ended June 2013.

 
ALC will use its commercially reasonably efforts to provide a 13-week cash flow forecast to the Administrative Agent each week.

 
Each week, representatives from each of the Administrative Agent and ALC will meet to provide an update of the regulatory approval process and the overall status of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 25, 2013, among Aid Holdings, LLC, Aid Merger Sub, LLC and ALC (the “Merger Agreement”).

 
ALC will obtain additional liquidity in the aggregate amount of $15 million, whether pursuant to sales of unencumbered assets, additional credit facilities, or otherwise, on or before August 2, 2013 (rather than on or before July 2, 2013).

 
The occurrence of either of the following will constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement: (i) ALC failing, on or before August 2, 2013, to indefeasibly pay in full all obligations owing under the Credit Agreement and cash collateralize or otherwise provide for all outstanding letters of credit in a manner in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer or (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason or any party to the Merger Agreement gives a written notice of termination of the Merger Agreement to the other parties, in either case prior to the closing thereof.
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
If, on or before August 2, 2013, ALC has not indefeasibly paid in full all obligations owing under the Credit Agreement and cash collateralized or otherwise provided for all outstanding letters of credit in a manner in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer, ALC will pay a fee of $250,000 pro rata to the Lenders party to the Amendment.

 
ALC will release U.S. Bank National Association, each Lender, each letter of credit issuer and certain other releasees from any and all claims of ALC related to the Credit Agreement and other related loan documents arising on or before the date of the Amendment.

 
ALC will pay all fees incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with the Amendment.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
The disclosures contained in Item 1.01 above are hereby incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

7.           Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower repeats and reaffirms the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of the Credit Agreement.  The Borrower also represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment are within the corporate powers of the Borrower, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not:  (i) require any consent or approval of the shareholders of the Borrower which has not been obtained; (ii) violate any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Borrower or of any law, regulation, order, or judgment presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (iii) require the consent or approval of, or filing or registration with, any governmental body, agency or authority, other than the filing of a Form 8-k by the Borrower; or (iv) result in any breach of or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower pursuant to, any indenture or other agreement or instrument under which the Borrower or any such Affiliate is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected.  This Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally.
 
8.           Confirmation of Agreements.  Except as expressly provided above, the Credit Agreement, and all of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and this Amendment shall not release, discharge or satisfy any present or future debts, obligations or liabilities to the Lenders of the Borrower or of any Guarantor or other person or entity liable for payment or performance of any of such debts, obligations or liabilities of the Borrower, or any security interest, mortgage lien or other collateral or security for any of such debts, obligations or liabilities of the Borrower or such Guarantors, or other persons or entities, or waive any default, and the Lenders expressly reserve all of their rights and remedies with respect to the Borrower and all such Guarantors or other persons or entities, and all such security interests, mortgage liens and other collateral and security.  This is an amendment and not a novation.
 
9.           Release.  (a)  In consideration of the agreements of Lenders and the Administrative Agent contained in this Amendment and for other good and valuable consideration, the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby release and discharge the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Lender, and their representatives, agents, employees, attorneys, successors, directors, officers, parents, affiliates, assigns, insurers and subsidiaries (each Lender, each L/C Lender, the Administrative Agent, and all such other Persons, collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, defenses, set-offs, counterclaims, actions, causes of action, suits, controversies, agreements, provisions, liabilities and demands in law or in equity, whether known or unknown (collectively, the “Claims”) which the Borrower or any Guarantor ever had, now has or may hereafter have arising from the past or present state of things, against or related to the Releasees through the date of this Amendment, relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, including the negotiation of this Amendment; provided however, that nothing herein shall release any of the Releasees from their respective obligations pursuant to this Amendment or from Claims arising from or related to the enforcement of this Amendment.  The Borrower and each Guarantor agree to assume the risk of any and all unknown, unanticipated or misunderstood claims which are released hereby. 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
(b)         The Borrower and each Guarantor, on behalf of themselves and their respective assigns and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released, remised and discharged by the Borrower and the Guarantor pursuant to Section 9(a) of this Amendment.  If the Borrower or any Guarantor, or their respective assigns or other legal representatives violates the foregoing covenant, the Borrower and each Guarantor, for themselves and their assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any Releasee as a result of such violation.
 
10.         Miscellaneous.  The Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all fees and out-of-pocket disbursements incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Amendment and including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, whether or not any transaction contemplated by this Amendment is consummated.  The provisions of this Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to any of the parties hereto.  All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution of this Amendment.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin.  This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  This Amendment is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.  No other person or entity shall have any rights under, or because of the existence of, this Amendment.
