On June 24, 2015, Colt Defense LLC and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively the “Company”) entered into a First Amended and Restated Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “Senior DIP Credit Agreement”) dated as of June 24, 2015 with Cortland Capital Market Services LLC (“Cortland”), as agent, and certain lenders party thereto from time to time which amended and restated the Company’s existing Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement dated as of June 16, 2015 with Cortland, as agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Senior DIP Credit Agreement provides for a term loan commitment of up to approximately $41.67 million consisting of an initial term loan of approximately $2.00 million which was drawn on June 17, 2015, a second term loan of approximately $1.33 million which was drawn on June 26, 2015, and, subject to certain conditions being met, including the entry of certain orders by the bankruptcy court, a subsequent additional draw of approximately $3.33 million (collectively, the “Tranche A Loans”) and a deemed term loan (the “Tranche B Loan”) of approximately $35.00 million which will be substituted and exchanged for (and deemed to have prepaid) approximately $35.00 million of the Company’s existing debt under the Credit Agreement dated as of February 9, 2015, as amended, with Cortland, as agent, and the lenders party thereto. Under the Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the Company’s obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of its assets (other than intellectual property), including accounts receivable, inventory and certain other collateral, and a second-priority security interest in the intellectual property. The Senior DIP Credit Agreement provides for the accrual of interest at a fixed rate of 11.0% per annum (which, at the option of the Company may be paid 9.0% in cash and 2.0% in kind) payable monthly in arrears. The Senior DIP Credit Agreement matures on the earliest of (i) December 15, 2015, (ii) the closing date of the Company’s previously disclosed contemplated Section 363 sale, (iii) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization or liquidation filed in the chapter 11 cases that is confirmed by the bankruptcy court and recognized by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) and (iv) the date of acceleration of the term loan under the Senior DIP Credit Agreement. The Senior DIP Credit Agreement limits the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments or restricted payments, pay dividends and merge, acquire or sell assets. The Senior DIP Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with financial covenants which primarily relate to limiting the amount of capital expenditures of the Company and requiring the Company to comply with an approved budget subject to limited variances in respect of its disbursements and receipts. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants.

The Senior DIP Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default including, but not limited to, no material litigation or defaults under material contracts and no material adverse change, as well as events of default involving cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), including but not limited to, the Company’s compliance with orders of the bankruptcy court.

Proceeds from the Tranche A Loans will be used to provide liquidity for the Company, including liquidity to allow the Company to continue to manage its properties and operate its business as debtor-in-possession in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the bankruptcy court; provided that the use of proceeds is limited by a budget that is subject to the approval of the lenders party to the Senior DIP Credit Agreement. Certain lenders party to the Senior DIP Credit Agreement are holders of a portion of Colt Defense LLC and Colt Finance Corp.’s outstanding 8.75% Senior Notes due 2017.

Also on June 24, 2015, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Agreement (the “Term DIP Loan Agreement Amendment”) dated as of June 24, 2015 with Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“Wilmington”), as agent, and certain lenders party thereto from time to time which amended and restated the Company’s existing Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Agreement (as so amended and restated, the “Term DIP Loan Agreement”) dated as of June 16, 2015 with Wilmington, as agent, and the lenders party thereto . The Term DIP Loan Agreement provides for a term loan commitment of up to approximately $33.33 million consisting of an initial term loan of approximately $4.00 million which was drawn on June 17, 2015, a second term loan of approximately $2.67 million which was drawn on June 25, 2015, and, subject to certain conditions being met, including the entry of certain orders by the bankruptcy court, a subsequent additional draw of approximately $6.67 million (collectively, the “Tranche A Term Loans”) and a deemed term loan of approximately $20.00 million (the “Tranche B Term Loan”) which will be substituted and exchanged for (and deemed to have prepaid) approximately $20.00 million of the Company’s existing debt under the Term Loan Agreement, as amended, dated as of November 17, 2014 with Wilmington, as agent, and the lenders party thereto. Under the Term DIP Loan Agreement, the Company’s obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in its intellectual property and a second-priority security interest in substantially all of its assets other than its intellectual property, including accounts receivable, inventory and certain other collateral. The Term DIP Loan Agreement provides for the accrual of interest on the Tranche A Term Loans at a fixed rate of 12.5% per annum payable in cash monthly in arrears and on the Tranche B Term Loan at a fixed rate per annum of 10.0% in cash and 4.0% in kind payable monthly in arrears. The Term DIP Loan Agreement matures on the earliest of (i) December 15, 2015, (ii) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization or liquidation filed in the chapter 11 cases that is confirmed by the bankruptcy court and recognized by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) and (iii) the date of acceleration of the term loan under the Term DIP Loan Agreement. The Term DIP Loan Agreement limits the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments or restricted payments, pay dividends and merge, acquire or sell assets. The Term DIP Loan Agreement requires the Company to comply with financial covenants which primarily relate to limiting the amount of capital expenditures of the Company and requiring the Company to comply with an approved budget subject to limited variances in respect of its disbursements and receipts. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants.

The Term DIP Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default including, but not limited to, no material litigation or defaults under material contracts and no material adverse change, as well as events of default involving cases under the Bankruptcy Code, including but not limited to, the Company’s compliance with orders of the bankruptcy court.
