2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On
January 28, 2008, Resolve Staffing, Inc. ("Registrant" or “Company”) entered
into a Disposition Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company and
certain of its named subsidiaries (“Borrowers”), certain named corporate
affiliates of the Borrowers that provided written guaranties to the Company’s
senior lender, Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation (“Bank”), along
with certain other named individual guarantors and other corporate guarantors
(“Other Guarantors”), with the Bank. The Agreement, effective as of January 28,
2008, is intended by the parties thereto as a full and final disposition and
resolution with respect to that certain Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”)
entered into by the Borrowers and the Bank dated as of March 30, 2007. The
Bank
and the Borrowers entered into the Agreement only after an exhaustive mergers
and acquisitions process was undertaken by the Company, its advisors and the
Bank, which was designed to identify the best strategic and financial
alternatives to maximize enterprise value for the Company. These efforts
resulted in the board of directors’ conclusion that the Disposition Agreement
summarized herein was in the best interests of the Company, its customers,
employees and creditors.
In
connection with the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers executed several promissory
notes reflecting the total amount of indebtedness that was outstanding to the
Bank as of March 30, 2007. The Borrowers, Corporate Guarantors and Individual
Guarantor had also entered into a Forbearance and Reaffirmation Agreement with
the Bank effective as of September 28, 2007, with that Forbearance and
Reaffirmation Agreement having expired by its own terms on December 31, 2007.
The aggregate indebtedness due and owing to the Bank by the Borrowers as of
January 23, 2008 was $29,423,410 (“Obligations”).
As
security for the repayment of all indebtedness owed to the Bank, the Borrowers
and the Guarantors had previously delivered to the Bank various security
agreements, pledge agreements, subordination agreements along with other
customary security-related instruments, the purpose of which was to
collateralize all indebtedness owed to the Bank by the grant of liens or
security interests against all tangible and intangible assets of the Company,
its subsidiaries and the Guarantors (“Collateral”).
As
recited in the Agreement, there has since been a number of events of default
by
the Company under the terms of the Credit Agreement. On May 17, 2007, the Bank
issued to the Borrowers a “reservation of rights” letter identifying all events
of default up to the date of the letter. Additional events of default are
recited in the Agreement itself. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, upon
any event of default, the Bank has the right to immediately exercise any and
all
rights and remedies provided in any of the loan documents that were put in
place
with respect to the indebtedness owed to the Bank and the Bank has the further
right under existing state law to collect the indebtedness and take actions
to
foreclose, sell, collect and liquidate the Collateral securing the
Obligations.
As
of the
date of the Agreement, the Bank has the right to and has in fact notified the
Borrowers that it declares all Obligations immediately due and payable, that
it
terminated the Borrower’s rights under the Credit Agreement and seeks to
immediately realize upon, and exercise its rights with respect to the
Collateral. The Agreement, which the Company is now operating under, includes
express provisions whereby the Bank now permits the Borrowers and the Guarantors
to maintain control over their business and operations for the purpose of
maximizing the proceeds of sale of the Collateral securing the Obligations.
By
entering into the Agreement, the Borrowers and the Guarantors have consented
to
the Bank immediately foreclosing upon all of the Collateral and further
consenting for the Bank to conduct one or more private sales of the Collateral
pursuant to Article 9 of the Ohio Uniform Commercial Code. All proceeds of
sale
of the Collateral by the Bank is to be applied to the Obligations of the
Borrowers as well as costs of the foreclosure and sale as allowable under the
Ohio UCC. No sale proceeds will be delivered to the Company or any person
affiliated with the Company. Under the Agreement, the Bank has the widest
possible latitude in disposing of the Collateral in accordance with said Article
9 of the UCC. The Borrowers and the Guarantors have been informed that the
Bank
intends to immediately place the Collateral for sale to a ready, willing and
able purchaser. Any deficiency which remains in the Obligations once the
Collateral is sold at private sale is to remain as indebtedness to be payable
by
the Borrowers and the Guarantors, as the case may be in accordance with the
Agreement.
