Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
(a)    
material definitive agreement or material amendment

On January 28, 2010, PCAA Parent, LLC,  a subsidiary of the holding company for Macquarie Infrastructure Company’s airport parking business, and certain of its subsidiaries (together, “PCAA”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Corinthian-Bainbridge ZKS Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), formed by Corinthian Equity Fund, L.P. and Bainbridge ZKS Funds, LP.  Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Purchaser will purchase substantially all of the assets of PCAA used in the conduct of its business and assume certain post-closing liabilities related to the purchased assets.  PCAA will retain certain liabilities related to the business that were existing on the closing date of the transaction.

The consideration to be paid by the Purchaser for the purchased assets and the assumed liabilities will be $111,500,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments for, among others, certain pre-paid deposits of PCAA and pre-paid revenue recognized by PCAA.  Upon execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Purchaser deposited into escrow an amount in cash equal to $5,575,000, to be released to either PCAA or the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Concurrently with the entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement, PCAA filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and became debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code.  The transactions under the Asset Purchase Agreement are expected to be consummated on or before June 21, 2010 in connection with or pursuant to a chapter 11 plan of reorganization or liquidation and the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to entry of the Sale Order and the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court, expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and other customary closing conditions.

In the event the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated by either party (i) upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court approving an alternative transaction or (ii) at any time after PCAA files a stand-alone plan of reorganization or liquidation, PCAA will be obligated to pay the Purchaser a break-up fee equal to 3% of the base purchase price and to reimburse the Purchaser up to $750,000 for the Purchaser’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction.  In the event the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated by the Purchaser due to a breach by PCAA of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under the Asset Purchase Agreement that would result in a failure of a closing condition, PCAA will be obligated to pay the Purchaser, its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction.

In connection with filing for relief under chapter 11, PCAA entered into a $5.0 million debtor-in-possession revolving facility (the “DIP Facility”) with ING Real Estate Finance (USA), LLC, Dekabank Deutsche Girozentrale, and Deutsche Hypothekenbank AG, all existing lenders on its primary credit facility.  The DIP Facility will be used to finance working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes and bears interest at the rate of LIBOR (with a 3% floor) plus 8% or the prime rate (with a 4% floor) plus 7%.  The DIP Facility matures on the earliest of (a) 120 days following the date of commencement of the bankruptcy case, (b) 30 days following the court’s interim approval of the facility if the court has not granted final approval at that time, (c) the effective date of confirmation of the chapter 11 plan, and (d) the date of consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of PCAA pursuant to section 363 and 365 under the Bankruptcy Code.

In connection with filing for relief under chapter 11, PCAA also entered into a Restructuring Agreement (the “PSA”) with ING Real Estate Finance (USA), LLC as Note A Agent and a Term A Noteholder, Dekabank Deutsche Girozentrale as a Term A Noteholder, and Deutsche Hypothekenbank AG as a Term A Noteholder and the Term B Noteholders (which are comprised of the same entities as the Term A Noteholders) (together with the Agent and Term A Noteholders, the “Supporting Creditors”).  Under the PSA, PCAA has agreed, on the date of filing its Chapter 11 petitions with the Bankruptcy Court, to also file motions seeking approval of the (i) DIP Facility and use of cash collateral and (ii) contemplated sale of all or substantially all of the assets of PCAA.  Additionally, within seven (7) days of filing its Chapter 11 petitions, PCAA has agreed to file a Chapter 11 plan, a related disclosure statement and all documents that will be necessary to effectuate the Chapter 11 plan, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Supporting Creditors.  In addition, pursuant to the PSA, PCAA has agreed to use all reasonable efforts to consummate the Chapter 11 plan and the related transactions contemplated therein.  Further, PCAA will not support any alternative sale, plan, or liquidation unless such alternative would provide greater recoveries to the Supporting Creditors than that under the contemplated Chapter 11 plan.  The PSA has a number of termination events including, without limitation, if certain deadlines are not met in connection with PCAA’s chapter 11 cases (subject, in certain cases, to cure periods) and if that certain agreement dated January 28, 2010 by and among Macquarie Airport Parking Corporation (“MAPC”) and its subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding PCAA) (the “MAPC Entities”) and PCAA described below is terminated or breached (subject to a three (3) day cure period in the event of a breach).  Under the PSA, the Supporting Creditors have agreed, in the absence of certain termination events occurring (to the extent such events cannot be cured), to (i) forbear from exercising default remedies under their pre-petition term loan credit facility, (ii) support PCAA in preparing motions for approval of the sale of substantially all of its assets and the DIP facility, (iii) not object to or otherwise hinder the acceptance and implementation of the contemplated Chapter 11 plan and (iv) vote in favor of such plan.
 


MAPC agreed that so long as a transaction to sell substantially all of PCAA’s assets with Purchaser or a similar alternative transaction is consummated in connection with PCAA’s Chapter 11 Cases:  (i) the MAPC Entities shall not assert certain claims (“Claims”) against PCAA, other than PCAA Parent, (ii) the MAPC Entities shall not assert Claims against PCAA Parent in an aggregate amount exceeding $12 million or will agree to an allowed reduced claim in the amount of $12 million (the “Capped Amount”); and (iii) to the extent the MAPC Entities are entitled to aggregate distributions on accounts of their Claims in excess of $1 million, any such excess shall remain in the PCAA estates for the benefit of all of PCAA’s creditors.  The MAPC Entities’ agreement to limit and release the Claims to which they might otherwise be entitled is contingent and conditioned on (i) a chapter 11 plan containing certain releases under such plan and (ii) the Term A Noteholders (as defined in the agreement) not objecting to the releases.  ING, as administrative agent for the term loan lenders, is an express third party beneficiary of the MAPC/PCAA Agreement.
