Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (“ALC”) is party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 18, 2011 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of May 18, 2012, Waiver and Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of August 1, 2012, and Waiver and Amendment No. 3 thereto, dated as of December 31, 2012, the “Credit Agreement”) among ALC, the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and, individually, a “Lender”), and U.S. Bank National Association, in its separate capacities as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent for the Lenders, as swingline lender, and as a letter of credit issuer (in such capacity, the “L/C Issuer”).

On June 28, 2013, ALC entered into Waiver & Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. The Amendment became effective on June 30, 2013 in accordance with its terms. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Lenders waived any noncompliance with Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement (Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) which occurs on or before August 2, 2013.

In addition, the Amendment includes the following terms, among others:

 
•
The Administrative Agent will no longer release any mortgage (i) which was granted to the Administrative Agent on any mortgaged property after December 31, 2012, (ii) which is no longer an eligible mortgaged property and (iii) which has been replaced by mortgages on one or more additional mortgaged properties.

 
•
The default rate of interest under the Credit Agreement is now 4% per annum (rather than 2% per annum) in excess of the interest rate applicable to the obligations owing under the Credit Agreement.

 
•
ALC will deliver to the Administrative Agent, within 45 days after the end of each of the first eleven monthly periods of each fiscal year of ALC, a report detailing any extraordinary, unusual, special, one-time or non-recurring expenses or charges paid or incurred (i) in the prior month and (ii) in the fiscal year to date, with the first such report to be delivered for the period ended June 2013.

 
•
ALC will use its commercially reasonably efforts to provide a 13-week cash flow forecast to the Administrative Agent each week.

 
•
Each week, representatives from each of the Administrative Agent and ALC will meet to provide an update of the regulatory approval process and the overall status of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 25, 2013, among Aid Holdings, LLC, Aid Merger Sub, LLC and ALC (the “Merger Agreement”).

 
•
ALC will obtain additional liquidity in the aggregate amount of $15 million, whether pursuant to sales of unencumbered assets, additional credit facilities, or otherwise, on or before August 2, 2013 (rather than on or before July 2, 2013).

 
•
The occurrence of either of the following will constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement: (i) ALC failing, on or before August 2, 2013, to indefeasibly pay in full all obligations owing under the Credit Agreement and cash collateralize or otherwise provide for all outstanding letters of credit in a manner in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer or (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason or any party to the Merger Agreement gives a written notice of termination of the Merger Agreement to the other parties, in either case prior to the closing thereof.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
•
If, on or before August 2, 2013, ALC has not indefeasibly paid in full all obligations owing under the Credit Agreement and cash collateralized or otherwise provided for all outstanding letters of credit in a manner in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer, ALC will pay a fee of $250,000 pro rata to the Lenders party to the Amendment.

 
•
ALC will release U.S. Bank National Association, each Lender, each letter of credit issuer and certain other releasees from any and all claims of ALC related to the Credit Agreement and other related loan documents arising on or before the date of the Amendment.

 
•
ALC will pay all fees incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with the Amendment.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
