This FIRST AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of October 30, 2014 by and among ROLLINS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto and SUNTRUST BANK, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of October 31, 2012, as extended pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated October 11, 2013 among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (as so extended, and as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, further extended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement.
Section 2. Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below, the parties hereto agree that:
(a) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the defined term “Anniversary Date” in Section 1.1 thereof and (ii) deleting the defined term “Revolving Commitment Termination Date” in Section 1.1 thereof and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
“‘Revolving Commitment Termination Date’ shall mean the earliest of (i) October 31, 2018 (as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 2.24), (ii) the date on which the Revolving Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 2.7 and (iii) the date on which all amounts outstanding under this Agreement have been declared or have automatically become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(b) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting clause (a) of Section 2.24 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
“(a) At any time after October 30, 2014, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(a), (b) and (c) have been met at such time, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an extension of the Revolving Commitment Termination Date in effect at such time by one calendar year from the then scheduled Revolving Commitment Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, within 30 days following the date on which each such written notice from the Borrower is provided to such Lender, notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the Revolving Commitment Termination Date within such 30-day period described above, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined below) with respect to such request. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower not later than the 45th day after the Borrower’s written request for each such extension of the decision of the Lenders regarding the Borrower’s request for an extension of the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. There shall be no more than three (3) extensions of the Revolving Commitment Termination Date permitted to be made pursuant to this Section 2.24 after October 30, 2014.”
(c) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting the words “at such next Anniversary Date” in the third line of clause (b) of Section 2.24 and replacing such words with “of October 31 immediately following the Borrower’s written request to the Administrative Agent for an extension pursuant to subsection (a) above”.
(d) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting clause (h) of Section 7.4 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
“(h) any acquisition by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the assets of, 51% or more of the Capital Stock of, or a business line or unit or a division of, any Person; provided, that (i) immediately prior to, and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; (ii) all transactions in connection therewith shall be consummated, in all material respects, in accordance with all applicable laws and in conformity with all applicable governmental approvals; (iii) the Borrower shall have certified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing that the Borrower is in compliance with Section 6.1 on a pro forma basis (as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter most recently ended (for which financial statements have been provided to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement) and after giving effect to such acquisition and any Indebtedness incurred in connection therewith; provided, that, for any acquisition or series of related acquisitions in which the aggregate consideration therefor is less than $100,000,000, the Borrower shall not be required to provide a written certification evidencing compliance with Section 6.1 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, compliance with Section 6.1 as described under this subclause (iii) shall nonetheless be required for any acquisition consummated in accordance with this clause (h)); (iv) with respect to any Person or assets or division acquired in accordance herewith, such Person shall become a Subsidiary of the Borrower and shall be in the same business or lines of business in which the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries are engaged as of the Closing Date or such other businesses that are reasonably related thereto; and (v) the acquisition shall have been approved by the board of directors or other governing body or controlling Person of the Person acquired or the Person from whom such assets or division is acquired.
(e) The Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting clause (m) of Section 7.4 in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
“(m) the purchase of customer contracts; provided, that (i) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to each such purchase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; (ii) each such purchase shall be consummated, in all material respects, in accordance with all applicable laws and in conformity with all applicable governmental approvals; (iii) the Borrower shall have certified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing that the Borrower is in compliance with Section 6.1 on a pro forma basis (as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter most recently ended (for which financial statements have been provided to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement) and after giving effect to each such purchase and any Indebtedness incurred in connection therewith; provided, that, for any purchase or series of related purchases in which the aggregate consideration therefor is less than $100,000,000, the Borrower shall not be required to provide a written certification evidencing compliance with Section 6.1 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, compliance with Section 6.1 as described under this subclause (iii) shall nonetheless be required for any purchase consummated in accordance with this clause (m)); and (iv) such customer contracts relate to the same business or lines of business in which the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries are engaged as of the Closing Date or such other businesses that are reasonably related thereto.”
