Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 25, 2008, Westaff, Inc.
(the
Company
), Westaff (USA), Inc. (
Westaff USA
), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, Westaff Support, Inc. and MediaWorld International, which are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Westaff (USA) (together with the Company and
Westaff USA, each a
Borrower
and,
collectively, the
Borrowers
), entered
into a loan agreement (the
Subordinated Loan
Agreement
) with DelStaff, LLC, as Subordinated Lender (the
Subordinated Lender
).
DelStaff, LLC is the Companys principal stockholder. The Borrowers also entered into certain other
loan and collateral documents and other related documents contemplated by the
Subordinated Loan Agreement (together with the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the
Subordinated Loan Documents
).
The obligations of the
Borrowers under the Subordinated Loan Agreement will be subordinated to the
existing obligations (the
Senior Loan Obligations
)
under the Financing Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2008, as amended (the
Financing Agreement
), by and among
Westaff USA, the Company, the lenders party thereto (the
Senior
Lenders
) and U.S. Bank National Association, as agent for the
Senior Lenders and letter of credit issuer. The terms of such subordination are set forth
in an intercreditor and subordination agreement, by and between the Senior
Lenders and the Subordinated Lender (the
Intercreditor Agreement
).
The Subordinated Loan
Agreement will provide a loan facility that allows the Borrowers to request
loan advances (the
Subordinated Loans
)
in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3,000,000, The maturity date of the
Subordinated Loan Agreement is August 15, 2009 (the
Maturity
Date
).
The unpaid principal
balance under the Subordinated Loans bears interest at an annual rate of twenty
percent (20%). Interest is payable-in-kind
and accrues monthly in arrears on the first day of each month as an increase in
the principal amount of the Subordinated Loans.
A default rate applies on all obligations under the Subordinated Loan Agreement
from and after the Maturity Date and also during the existence of an Event of Default
(as defined in the Subordinated Loan Agreement) at an annual rate of ten
percent (10%) payable-in-kind over the then-existing applicable interest rate
and if principal is not repaid on the Maturity Date, an additional 5% of
outstanding principal must be paid along with the default rate interest. The obligations under the Subordinated Loan
Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the
existing and future assets (the
Subordinated Collateral
)
of the Borrowers. The lien granted to
the Subordinated Lender in the Subordinated Collateral is subordinated to the
lien in that same collateral granted to the Senior Lenders. The Subordinated Loans may be used by the
Borrowers for their working capital and general business purposes, but for no
other purposes, without the consent of the Subordinated Lender. Borrowings in excess of $1,000,000 are
subject to the approval of the Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Loans may be prepaid without
penalty, subject to approval by the Senior Lenders and the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement.
Under certain
circumstances, the Borrowers must prepay all or a portion of any amounts outstanding
under the Subordinated Loan Agreement, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement.
Under the terms of the
Subordinated Loan Agreement, the Borrowers have agreed to pay to the Subordinated
Lender a facility fee at the closing in the amount of $150,000 which will be
added to the principal of the Subordinated Loans at the closing, but will not
reduce the availability of the $3,000,000 of Subordinated Loans under the
Subordinated Loan Agreement.
