In light of the foregoing, the Borrower and the Guarantors have
requested a waiver and consent with respect to the Financial
Statements, and the Banks and the Agent are willing to grant such
request solely upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Amendment, including, without limitation, the issuance of the
Collateral Letter of Credit (as defined below). |
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and of the
representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth
herein and in the Loan Agreement, and for other valuable
consideration the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1 . Consent . Notwithstanding anything
in the Credit Documents to the contrary, the Borrower and the
Guarantors shall deliver:
(a) audited MuniMae Year-End Financial Statements, the related
covenant compliance certificates and other information required
pursuant Section 5.2 of Schedule 1 to the MuniMae
Guaranty, and a copy of the accompanying Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2006 filed by MuniMae with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Form
10-K”), on or before February 15, 2008;
(b) promptly upon filing, copies of the Form 10-Qs filed with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; and
(c) audited Tier 2 2006 Financial Statements and the related
covenant compliance certificate and other information required
pursuant to Section 5.6.2 of the Loan Agreement, on or before
March 31, 2008.
Section 2 . Waiver . In accordance with the
terms of Section 8.1 of the Loan Agreement, solely with
respect to the Financial Statements, the Agent and the Banks hereby
waive (a) compliance with Section 5.6.1(b) of the Loan
Agreement and Section 5.1(b) of Schedule 1 to the MuniMae
Guaranty, and (b) any Default or Event of Default under any
Credit Document which may have resulted or may result solely from
the failure to timely deliver the Financial Statements, but only to
the extent that the same are delivered in accordance with
Section 1 hereof. Failure to deliver the Financial Statements,
the Form 10-K and, to the extent required, the Form 10-Qs as so
provided, or failure to deliver or to file the same with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, shall constitute an
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.
Section 3 . Collateral Letter of Credit .
(a) As additional security for the Obligations, MuniMae shall
cause an irrevocable standby letter of credit to be issued by the
Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit to the
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Banks, for the account of
MuniMae in an amount of $14,000,000.00 (“Collateral Letter of
Credit”).
(b) The Collateral Letter of Credit shall be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and, in any event,
shall have a stated expiration date at least thirty (30) days
after the Maturity Date. The Agent, for and on behalf of the Banks,
agrees that it will not present a sight draft under the Collateral
Letter of Credit unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. The Agent further agrees, for and on behalf of the
Banks, that it shall return the Collateral Letter of Credit to
MuniMae for cancellation upon receipt of the Financial Statements,
the Form 10-K and, to the extent required, the Form 10-Qs, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
Section 4 . Waiver Fee . The Borrower shall pay
to the Agent, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of
this Amendment, for the pro rata benefit of the Banks, based on
their respective Commitment Percentage, a waiver fee of $210,000.00
(the “Waiver Fee”).
Section 5 . Representations and Warranties . The
Borrower and Guarantors, jointly and severally, represent and
warrant to the Banks as of the effective date of this Amendment
that, assuming the due execution and delivery of this Amendment:
(a) no Default or Event of Default is in existence, from and
after, or will result from, the execution and delivery of this
Amendment or the consummation of any transactions contemplated
hereby; (b) each of the representations and warranties of the
Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Agreement and the other
Credit Documents is true
