On May 20, 2016, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment"), which amended the Credit Agreement dated as of July 2, 2009, as amended and restated as of August 1, 2013, between the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent (as so amended and restated, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Fourth Amendment effected the following modifications to the Credit Agreement (capitalized terms are as defined in the Credit Agreement):

modified the threshold for the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017 from 1.90 to 1.00 to 1.65 to 1.00;

modified the threshold for the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017 from 5.10 to 1.00 to 5.50 to 1.00; and

modified the definition of Consolidated EBIT to permit the add backs for the specified periods as set forth in the table below in connection with certain discrepancies discovered with respect to the Company’s Kenyan subsidiary:

Prior to the execution of the Fourth Amendment, the Company would have been in violation of one or more covenants in fiscal 2014 and 2015 as a result of improper accounting for accounts receivable, inventory, sales and cost of goods sold in Kenya.  In the Fourth Amendment, the lenders modified certain financial covenants and definitions as described above and, as a result, the Company was in compliance with all such amended covenants for fiscal 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Note that in March 2016, Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Corporate Family Rating of the Company to Caa2 from Caa1. Moody's also downgraded the Probability of Default Rating to Caa2-PD from Caa1-PD, and the senior secured second lien note rating to Caa3 with a Loss Given Default (“LGD”) of 5 from Caa2 and a LGD of 5. At the same time Moody's affirmed the Company's senior secured bank credit facility rating at B1 with a LGD of 1 and the Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-4. Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings are Corporate Credit Rating CCC+, senior secured second lien note rating CCC with a recovery rating (“RR”) of 5 and a senior secured debt rating of B with a RR of 1. S&P has outlook negative and as of June 3, 2016, Moody's has outlook positive. However, the Company affirms its belief that the sources of capital it has access to are sufficient to fund its anticipated needs for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. As of March 31, 2016, available credit lines and cash were $639,388, comprised of $199,720 in cash; $439,668 of credit lines, of which $10,259 was available under

the U.S. revolving credit facility; and $429,409 of foreign seasonal credit lines with $13,057 exclusively for letters of credit. Notes payable to banks are typically for 180 to 270 days and are entered into each year in various locales around the world. The U.S revolver matures April 15, 2017 and the Company plans to either extend or refinance this facility during fiscal year 2017.  The Company's access to capital meets its current expectations and outlook that is anticipated to provide sufficient liquidity to fulfill its future funding requirements. General deterioration of its business and the cash flow that it generates, failure to renew foreign lines or an inability to extend or refinance its U.S. revolver could impact its ability to meet its future liquidity requirements.

On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment"), which further amended the Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amendment clarified that for the purpose of certain covenants under the Credit Agreement up to $100,000 of debt of the Company’s MTC subsidiary in respect of loans under a credit facility with a third-party lender funded by another specified subsidiary of the Company pursuant to a participation interest in such loans or an assignment in respect of such loans consistent with past practices prior to the date of the Fifth Amendment (so long as such loan proceeds are used in connection with the purchase, processing, exporting and financing of the contract growing and buying of tobacco) shall be deemed to be debt owed by MTC to the other Company subsidiary (and not the third-party lender) as intercompany debt regardless of the presentation of such debt in the consolidated financial statements of the Company in accordance with GAAP. The Fifth Amendment also waived any noncompliance by the Company under the Credit Agreement that may have occurred prior to the effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment as a result of such debt not being treated as intercompany debt, as well as the Company’s failure to deliver audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 within the time period required under the Credit Agreement if such audited financial statements are delivered by July 19, 2016.
