On September 2, 2022, Unifi, Inc. (the “Company”) and its beneficially owned subsidiaries, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. (together with the Company, as borrowers) and Unifi Sales & Distribution, Inc., as guarantor, entered into a Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as a lender and as agent for the lenders thereunder, and Bank of America, N.A., as a lender.  The Sixth Amendment amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2015, by and among the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, as borrowers, and a syndicate of lenders, as previously amended (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement provides for a $200.0 million senior secured credit facility, including a $100.0 million revolving credit facility and a term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100.0 million, once per fiscal year, if certain conditions are met.  Copies of the Credit Agreement and all prior amendments thereto have previously been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Sixth Amendment modified the Trigger Level (as defined in the Credit Agreement and which relates to, among other things, the requirement to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement)) such that it occurs when Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) falls below (a) for the period beginning on September 2, 2022 through and including the date that is 60 days after such date, $16.5 million and (b) at all other times, the greatest of (i) $10.0 million, (ii) 20% of the Maximum Revolver Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (iii) 12.5% of the sum of the Maximum Revolver Amount plus the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

Certain parties to the Sixth Amendment and certain of their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing, and brokerage activities.  Certain parties to the Sixth Amendment and certain of their respective affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, commercial and investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company or its affiliates for which they have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions or other payments for these transactions.

 

The foregoing description of the Sixth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

that there exists) any obligation of Agent or any Lender to consider or agree to any other amendment of or waiver or consent with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or agreement to which Agent or any Lender is a party (collectively, an “Additional Amendment” or “Consent”), and if Agent and the Lenders subsequently agree to consider any requested Additional Amendment or Consent, neither the existence of this Agreement nor any other conduct of Agent or the Lenders related hereto, shall be of any force or effect on the Lenders’ consideration or decision with respect to any such requested Additional Amendment or Consent, and the Lenders shall not have any obligation whatsoever to consider or agree to any such Additional Amendment or Consent.

(c)  To induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement, each Loan Party acknowledges, stipulates, and agrees that (i) all of the Obligations are absolutely due and owing by Loan Parties to Agent and Lenders in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, without defense, deduction, offset or counterclaim (and, to the extent any Loan Party had any defense, deduction, offset or counterclaim on the date hereof, the same is hereby waived by such Loan Party); (ii) the Loan Documents (to the extent amended hereby) to which such Loan Party is a party are legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally; (iii) the Liens granted by each Loan Party to Agent in the Collateral are valid and duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens; (iv) each of the recitals contained at the beginning of this Agreement is true and correct; (v) if such Loan Party is a Guarantor, such Loan Party reaffirms and ratifies its guaranty obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and agrees that none of such obligations thereunder shall be diminished or limited in any way by the execution and delivery of this Agreement; and (vi) before executing this Agreement, each Loan Party consulted with and had the benefit of advice of legal counsel of its own selection and has relied upon the advice of such counsel, and in no part upon the representation of Agent, any Lender or any counsel to Agent or any Lender concerning the legal effects of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(d)  Nothing under this Agreement shall extinguish the Obligations under the Credit Agreement.  Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby), or any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Loan Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder, and except as expressly provided in this Agreement, such obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Agreement. This Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(e)  The Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional action as may be reasonably requested by Agent to effectuate the provisions and purposes hereof.

(f)  The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder or contemplated herein shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any other instrument or agreement required or contemplated hereunder.
