THIS WAIVER AND FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), is made and entered into as of April 12, 2011, by and among Westwood One, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the lenders under the Credit Agreement (defined below) (the “Lenders”) that are signatory hereto, and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (formerly known as Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC), as administrative agent for the Lenders (“Agent”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company is also party to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2009 (as amended from time to time the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued $117,500,000 of its 15% Senior Secured Notes due July 15, 2012 (the “Notes”);
WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Noteholders amend and waive certain provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement as more particularly provided in that certain Waiver and Fourth Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Fourth Notes Amendment”), dated as of April 12, 2011, by and between the Company and the requisite noteholders;
WHEREAS, the Company has requsted a waiver of the Company’s compliance with the Senior Debt Leverage Ratio under Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 (the “Potential Default”);
WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Lenders waive the Potential Default and amend certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement as more particularly provided herein; and
WHEREAS, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Lenders are willing to agree to waive the Potential Default and amend such provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms set forth herein;

 

 


 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Lenders party hereto agree as follows:
1. Waiver. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3 below, the Lenders hereby waive the Potential Default. This is a limited waiver and shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or any future breach or violation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any document entered into in connection therewith. Except as expressly provided herein, the foregoing Waiver shall not constitute (a) a modification or alteration of the terms, conditions or covenants of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any document entered into in connection therewith, or (b) a waiver, release or limitation upon the exercise by the Lenders of any of their rights, legal or equitable, hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, any Loan Document or any document entered into in connection therewith. Except as set forth above, each of the Lenders reserves any and all rights and remedies which it has had, has or may have under the Credit Agreement, each Loan Document and any document entered into in connection therewith.
2. Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement. The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Article 5 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new Section 5.12 at the end thereof to read as follows:
5.12. M&A Telephone Updates.
The Borrower shall permit Agent and Lender to participate in any telephone conference regarding the Borrower’s merger and acquisition activities in which the New Noteholders may participate pursuant to Section 6.5 of the New Senior Note Agreement and will make available appropriate dial-in information, by email or other electronic transmission, to Agent and Lenders at least three Business Days in advance of such telephone conference.
(b) Section 6.8 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word “and” immediately following clause (e) thereof, by deleting the period at the end of clause (f) thereof and inserting “; and” in lieu thereof and inserting a new clause (g) to read as follows:
(g) any sale of assets in connection with the exercise of the call option by Excelsior Radio Networks, Inc. (“Excelsior”) or the exercise of the put option by Westwood One Radio Networks, Inc. (“Radio Networks”), pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, respectively, of the Management Agreement dated as of May 23, 2006 between Radio Networks and Excelsior; provided that promptly following the Borrower’s receipt of net cash proceeds from the sale of such assets, the Borrower shall exercise its option under Section 7.3 of the New Senior Note Agreement to prepay the New Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the net cash proceeds from the sale of such assets.

 

-2-


 

(c) Section 7.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the table set forth therein in its entirety as follows:
     
Date   Senior Debt Leverage Ratio
December 31, 2011   10.35 to 1.0
March 31, 2012   9.20 to 1.0
June 30, 2012 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter   8.65 to 1.0”
(d) Article 7 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) replacing the reference to “covenant” with a reference to “covenants” in the lead-in language appearing prior to Section 7.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement, and (ii) inserting a new Section 7.2 at the end thereof to read as follows:
7.2. Maintenance of Minimum EBITDA.
The Borrower will not permit Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower ending on either date specified below to be less than the amount set forth opposite such date:
     
Date   Minimum Consolidated EBITDA
June 30, 2011   $3,400,000
September 30, 2011   $5,950,000
; provided, that the minimum Consolidated EBITDA levels set forth in this Section 7.2 shall be deemed to be automatically amended or any Event of Default arising as a result of a violation or breach of this Section 7.2 shall be deemed automatically waived so long as (i) any Senior Debt (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) remains outstanding (other than contingent indemnification obligations and contingent reimbursement obligations in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted in writing), (ii) Required Holders (as defined in the New Senior Note Agreement) of the New Senior Notes amend Section 9.15 of the New Senior Note Agreement or waive any default under the New Senior Note Agreement arising as a result of a violation or a breach of Section 9.15 thereof, in each case, in writing, and (iii) Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, receives payment in full of consideration equal to one-half of the pro rata amount of any consideration paid to the holders of the New Senior Notes in respect of their agreement to amend the financial covenant set forth in Section 9.15 of the New Senior Note Agreement or waive any default arising as a result of a breach thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the pro rata amount of any consideration paid to the holders of the New Senior Notes as described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be calculated by dividing the sum of the outstanding principal amount the Term Loan plus the Maximum Revolver Amount by the outstanding principal amount of the New Senior Notes, and (b) upon an automatic amendment of the minimum Consolidated EBITDA levels described in the immediately preceding sentence, such ratios contained in this Section 7.2 shall be adjusted proportionally to maintain the same difference (on a percentage basis) between the covenants set forth in the New Senior Note Agreement and the covenants set forth herein on the date hereof.

 

-3-


 

(e) Schedule 1.1 to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” set forth therein:
The Lenders acknowledge that: (1) non-cash charges or expenses attributable to any period associated with broadcast rights under that certain Radio Agreement, dated as of January 13, 2011, by and between Westwood One Radio Networks, Inc. and the National Collegiate Athletic Association shall be added back to Consolidated Net Income for purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA for such period, and (2) for purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters that includes the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended December 31, 2010, an amount equal to $919,000 shall be added back to Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal quarter to offset Audience Deficiency Unit (ADU) adjustments for prior fiscal periods which were recorded for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010. Additionally, the Lenders acknowledge that all expenses and charges related to the patent infringement lawsuit heretofore filed by Triangle Software, LLC against the Borrower will constitute “special” expenses for purposes of clause (e) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”.
3. Conditions to Effectiveness of this Amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amendment and without affecting in any manner the rights of the Lenders hereunder, it is understood and agreed that this Amendment shall not become effective, and the Company shall have no rights hereunder, until satisfaction of the condition set forth in the penultimate sentence of this Section 2 and until each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(c) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Amendment shall be true and correct as of the date hereof.

(b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and each other Loan Party and this Amendment constitutes, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and each other Loan Party, enforceable against the Company and each other Loan Party in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies in general or by general principles of equity.

The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or the Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith. Any and all notices, requests, certificates and other instruments executed and delivered after the execution and delivery of this Amendment may refer to the Existing Credit Agreement without making specific reference to this Amendment, but nevertheless all such references shall include this Amendment unless the context otherwise requires.

Exhibit A
Fourth Notes Amendment
See Exhibit 4.1.4

 

 


 

Schedule 3(e)
Exceptions to No Conflict Representation and Warranty
Pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Fourth Notes Amendment, the Company agreed to prepay the Notes with the aggregate Put/Call Proceeds (as defined in the Fourth Notes Amendment). To the extent any such prepayment of the Notes does not equal or exceed the “5% Minimum Requirement” (as defined in the Fourth Notes Amendment), such prepayment, in the absence of a waiver by each holder of the Notes regarding such optional prepayment on or prior to the date of prepayment, could be deemed a conflict under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with such prepayment. The Company’s representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety by reference to such conflict described herein and in Section 7(b) of the Fourth Notes Amendment. To the knowledge of the Company, the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with the prepayment of the Notes contemplated by Section 7(a) of the Fourth Notes Amendment would not result in the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4 of the Credit Agreement, except with respect to Section 4.6(a)(i) thereof to the extent that a prepayment made pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Fourth Notes Amendment is deemed to constitute a conflict with the 5% Minimum Requirement set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
