Re:
Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement dated as of September 30, 2008 (as amended, the “Agreement”) by and among Greenwood Financial Inc. (“Master Borrower”), the entities identified on Schedule “A” attached hereto (together with the Master Borrower, the “Borrowers”), Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. (the “Guarantor”, and together with the Borrowers, the “Obligors”), the Lenders that are parties hereto (the “Lenders”), and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Agent for the Lenders (“Agent”).

Dear Mr. Herdler:
 
Please refer to the Agreement and to that certain Amendment Extension Letter dated October 30, 2009 from the Agent and agreed to and accepted by the Lenders and Obligors (the “First Amendment Extension Letter”).  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement and the First Amendment Extension Letter as applicable. This letter shall be referred to as the “Second Amendment Extension Letter”.
 
1.           Requests by Obligors.
 
A.           As set forth in the First Amendment Extension Letter, the Obligors notified the Agent and Lenders that the Anticipated Events of Default were predicted to occur under the Agreement and requested that the Lenders waive the Anticipated Events of Default for a limited period of time.  In addition to the Anticipated Events of Default, the Obligors have notified Agent that they anticipate that the following Events of Default will occur: (i) under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Agreement on December 20, 2009 as a result of the anticipated inability of the Obligors to repay and satisfy all obligations of the Obligors under the Agreement and other Loan Documents and cash collateralize the Issuer’s maximum liability under all outstanding Letters of Credit on the Maturity Date as required under Section 2.3.1.1, 2.3.2.1 and 2.1.4.3 of the Agreement (the “Anticipated Maturity Date Default”), (ii) under Section 9.1 of the Agreement as a result of the anticipated failure of the Obligors to pay the second additional fee (the “Second Additional Fee”) on December 20, 2009 as required under Section 2.6.5 of the Agreement (the “Second Fee Payment Default”), (iii) under Section 9.11 of the Agreement as a result of the anticipated failure of the Obligors to make interest payments under the OHI Financing Subordinated Debt (the “OHI Subordinated Debt Default”), and (iv) under Section 9.3 of the Agreement as a result of the possible insolvency of the Obligors and the possible inability of the Obligors to pay their debts as they mature (the “Solvency Default”).  The definition “Anticipated Events of Default” shall be deemed to include the Anticipated Maturity Date Default, the Second Fee Payment Default, the OHI Subordinated Debt Default and the Solvency Default.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Second Additional Fee will be fully earned on December 20, 2009.

 
 

 

B.           Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the First Amendment Extension Letter, the Agent and the Lenders temporarily waived the Anticipated Events of Default through and including November 30, 2009 (unless otherwise extended by Agent pursuant to Section 2B of this First Amendment Extension Letter).
 
C.           Pursuant to that certain letter dated December 4, 2009 and effective November 30, 2009, the Agent extended the Amendment Extension Period until December 20, 2009.
 
D.           The Agent and Obligors have engaged in good faith discussions relating to the terms upon which the Agent and Lenders would consider amending and restating the Agreement and waiving the Anticipated Events of Default (the “Amendment Terms”).  Neither the  Lenders nor Agent have approved the Amendment Terms and have no obligation to do so. The final terms of an amendment to the Agreement, if ultimately agreed to by the Lenders and Agent, may contain terms which are not specifically addressed in the current Amendment Terms. If no amendment to the Agreement is entered into by the end of the Extension Period, then the Limited Wavier and Amendment Extension (defined below) set forth herein shall expire at that time in accordance with Section 2B herein.
 
E.           The Obligors have requested that the Agent and the Lenders further extend the Amendment Extension Period in order to give the parties additional time to conduct additional due diligence, obtain the necessary approvals and document the Amendment Terms.
 
2.           Limited Waiver and Amendment Extension.

A.           Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Agent and the Lenders agree to temporarily waive the Anticipated Events of Default (the “Limited Waiver and Amendment Extension”), at all times from the period (such period being the “Amendment Extension Period”) commencing on the date hereof through and including January 29, 2010 (unless otherwise extended by Agent pursuant to Section 2B of this Second Amendment Extension Letter), provided that such Limited Waiver and Amendment Extension shall end on the date when one or more of the events described in this Section 2A occurs:

(i)           A creditor of any Obligor exercises or commences any enforcement action against any Obligor (including, without limitation, the acceleration of any OHI Financing Subordinated Debt) as a result of OHI Financing Inc.’s failure to make interest payments or any other default under the OHI Financing Subordinated Debt;

(ii)          One or more of the Lenders notifies the Agent that it is unwilling or unable to consent to the Amendment Terms and in the reasonable judgment of Agent, the Obligors and such Lender(s) will be unable to reach a mutual agreement within a reasonable period of time;

 
2

 

(iii)        The making of any bonus payments, incentive payments or any other similar payment by Guarantor or its Affiliates to any officer, director, employee or affiliate (other than commission or construction bonus payments to field personnel in the ordinary course of business) during the Amendment Extension Period;

(iv)        If any Notice of Borrowing for general working capital and corporate purposes fails to provide sufficient detail of the intended use of such advance or if such use is not deemed satisfactory to Agent but such payment is made over Agent’s objection;

(v)         If Obligors fail to deliver Financial Statements to Agent on the next Business Day after filing same with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

(vi)        Failure to deliver to Agent any and all offers made to purchase the Obligors or their assets outside the ordinary course of business;

(vii)       Any Obligor shall commence construction on any Units for which there is not a Qualifying Agreement of Sale without the prior written consent of the Agent;

(viii)      Purchase of any Real Estate, Lots or Units by any Obligor without the prior written consent of the Agent;

(ix)         Failure of Guarantor and its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries who are not Obligors, “Pledgors”) to maintain all deposit accounts and securities accounts (the “Controlled Accounts”) subject to a security interest and control agreements in favor of Agent; provided that Controlled Accounts shall not include (x) escrow, trust, customer deposit, payroll or similar accounts, or any funds held in such accounts, (the “Customer Accounts”), (y)  accounts that are restricted by legal or regulatory requirements from being pledged, or any funds held in such accounts, (“Regulated Accounts”) and (z) certain accounts together with any successor accounts agreed to by Agent, or any funds held in such accounts, with an aggregate value not to exceed $7,500,000 (the “Other Accounts”), in each case listed in perfection certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4A(viii) hereof (the Customer Accounts, Regulated Accounts and the Other Accounts, collectively, the “Excluded Accounts”);

(x)          Failure of the report delivered by Obligors pursuant to Section 6.1.4 of the Agreement to list the balances of Cash and Cash Equivalents in all Excluded Accounts for each day of the previous week;

(xi)         If Guarantor holds and/or own Cash and Cash Equivalents (including without limitation the Controlled Accounts and the Excluded Accounts) determined on a consolidated basis in an amount in excess of $12,000,000 with respect to unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents; provided that Guarantor may hold and/or own Cash or Cash Equivalents in excess of $12,000,000 on a consolidated basis for no longer than two (2) consecutive Business Days so long as Borrowers reduce such amount during such period by repaying the Loans or otherwise reducing such amount in a manner permitted by the Agreement;

(xii)        If Obligors file an amendment to any federal tax return claiming a tax refund with respect to the current net operating loss carryback law, without (x) concurrently filing any and all forms required by Agent, so that the proceeds of any such refund to which the Obligors may be entitled is delivered directly to Agent on behalf of the Lenders (in connection with its security interest in such federal tax refund) and made payable to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, and (y) obtaining prior written approval of Agent of such filing and forms; and

 
3

 

(xiii)       The occurrence of any other Event of Default (that is, any Event of Default caused by or resulting from something other than the Anticipated Events of Default) under the Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents.

B.           At the end of the Amendment Extension Period, the Limited Waiver and Amendment Extension shall terminate and the Anticipated Events of Default shall, effective as of the end of the Amendment Extension Period, immediately constitute Events of Default under Article IX under the Agreement without the requirement of further notice or an opportunity to cure, and Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to immediately exercise all of their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred other than the Anticipated Events of Default and on or prior to January 29, 2010 the Obligors have obtained all necessary approvals and consents and Obligors and Agent have satisfactorily documented the Amendment Terms, the Amendment Extension Period may be extended by Agent with respect to the Anticipated Events of Default through February 12, 2010 upon written notice to Master Borrower; provided that any extension of the Amendment Extension Period shall not be deemed a final approval of any amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement by Agent or any Lender.

C.           Without limiting the generality of the provisions of subsection 11.10 of the Agreement, the waiver set forth herein shall be limited precisely as written and relates solely to the noncompliance by Obligors with the provisions of the Agreement set forth in Section 1A, 1B and 1C of the First Amendment Extension Letter and Section 1A of this Second Amendment Extension Letter in the manner and to the extent described on or prior to the date on which the Amendment Extension Period terminates, and nothing in this Second Amendment Extension Letter shall be deemed to:

(i)           constitute a waiver of (x) any Event of Default or noncompliance by the Obligors with respect to the provisions of the Agreement other than the Anticipated Events of Default or (y) compliance by the Obligors with respect to any other term, provision or condition of the Agreement (including, without limitation, violations or breaches of the Agreement that are similar in nature to those included in Anticipated Events of Default but cover different time periods) or any other Loan Document; or

(ii)          prejudice any right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent such right or remedy was based upon existing defaults or Anticipated Events of Default that have been temporarily waived after giving effect to this Second Amendment Extension Letter).

3.            Borrowing Base, No Swing Line Loans, Subordinated Debt, Continuation of Lending

A.           During the Amendment Extension Period and as a result of giving effect to the Limited Waiver and Amendment Extension, the Borrowing Base and Borrowing Base Availability calculations as shown on the Borrowing Base Certificates delivered on or after October 30, 2009 will be made using the modifications to the definition of Borrowing Base Availability and Article III of the Agreement pursuant to the Third Amendment notwithstanding that such modifications, by their terms, are otherwise no longer effective.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, during the Amendment Extension Period, Borrowing Base Availability shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the aggregate amount of liability relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit or Tri-Party Agreement for which a draw request has been made as of the date of such draw request and (without duplication) by any payments made as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit or Tri-Party Agreement that have not yet become Loans as of the date of such payment.

B.           On and after the date hereof: (i) the definition of “Collateral” shall be deemed to include the deposit accounts and securities accounts pledged to Agent pursuant to the security agreement delivered pursuant to Section 4A(ix) of this Second Amendment Extension Letter; (ii) the definition of “Security Agreement” shall be deemed to include the security agreement delivered pursuant to Section 4A(ix) of this Second Amendment Extension Letter; and (iii) “Subsidiary” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, association, Joint Venture or other business entity of which more than 50% of the total voting power of shares of stock or other ownership interests entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in the election of the members of the Governing Body is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by that Person or one or more of the other Subsidiaries of that Person or a combination thereof.

C.           Solely with respect to the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Covenant contained in Section 8.2 of the Agreement, the Obligors may make certifications (i) and (ii) in any Notice of Borrowing delivered during the Amendment Extension Period without giving effect to the accrual of the First Additional Fee and Second Additional Fee, and the Loans and the cash collateralization of Letters of Credit as of the Maturity Date.

D.           During the Amendment Extension Period, (i) Borrowers shall not deliver and Swing Line Lender shall not accept any Notice of Borrowing for a Swing Line Loan, and (ii) there shall be no borrowings under any Swing Line Loan.

E.           The Obligors hereby request, and Agent, Issuer and Lenders hereby agree, that Letters of Credit may be extended to February 26, 2010 pursuant to the terms of the Agreement other than the requirement on the part of the Borrowers to post cash collateral under Section 2.1.4.3 of the Agreement; provided that Borrowers must continue to post cash collateral for any Defaulting Lender’s share of each such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.1.4.4 of the Agreement.

F.           Terms used in this Section 3F shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Consent.  Each Lender signatory hereto hereby consents to the Exchange I Transaction; provided that (i) the modifications to the terms of the Existing Indenture I Documents are substantially similar to, and not less favorable to the Obligors and Lenders than, the modifications made to the Existing Indenture II Documents in the Exchange II Transaction, as determined by Agent, including without limitation substantially similar covenants, events of default, interest rates, proportional principal increase, redemption provisions, subordination provisions, maturity date, transaction fees and other material terms, (ii) the Exchange I Transaction is consummated during the Amendment Extension Period (as may be extended by Agent pursuant to Section 2B of this Amendment Extension Letter), (iii) the documentation for the Exchange I Transaction shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, and (iv) no Event of Default or any condition or event that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default (other than the Anticipated Events of Default) has occurred and is continuing as of the effective date of the Exchange I Transaction, which condition shall be evidenced by a certificate delivered by Obligors to Agent dated as of the effective date of the Exchange I Transaction certifying the same.  Each Lender signatory hereto further consents and agrees that the Debt created or incurred pursuant to the Exchange I Transaction (including the guaranty thereof by Guarantor) shall constitute OHI Financing Subordinated Debt and that the guaranty of such debt by Guarantor as provided in the Exchange I Documents shall constitute Permitted Debt.

G.           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 of the Agreement, (i) Lenders shall continue to extend to Borrowers the Line of Credit and (ii) the Unused Fee shall continue to accrue, in each case after the Maturity Date and during the Amendment Extension Period, subject to the other terms of the Agreement and this Second Amendment Extension Letter.

4.           Conditions Precedent.  The Limited Waiver shall become effective, as of the date hereof and as provided herein, only upon the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent to the satisfaction of the Agent (the date of satisfaction of such conditions being referred to herein as the “Effective Date”):
