| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On July 25, 2007, Velocity Express Corporation (the Company) entered into a third supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture) modifying the indenture governing their 12.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the Notes). The Supplemental Indenture (1) temporarily reduces the requirement that the Company maintain at all times cash and cash equivalents subject to specified liens under the minimum cash covenant to $4.0 million, which becomes a permanent reduction upon satisfaction of certain conditions; (2) waives the requirement in the debt incurrence covenant regarding the reduction of the credit facility basket with respect to the possible sale of the Companys Canadian subsidiary and (3) waives the requirement in the asset sales covenant that requires a permanent reduction in credit facilities from the net proceeds of asset sales with respect to the possible sale of the Companys Canadian subsidiary. An allonge to the existing Notes also raises the interest rate payable on the Notes from 12.0% to 13.0%. As previously disclosed, the Company received consents from a majority of the Note holders pursuant to a consent solicitation.
As a condition to and in connection with executing the Supplemental Indenture, the Company entered into an amendment (the Amendment), effective as of July 13, 2007, to the credit agreement among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. as administrative agent (the Agent), and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the Credit Agreement). The Amendment: (i) permits the sale of the Canadian subsidiary (or the assets thereof), (ii) provides that the Company need not apply to repay borrowings under the Credit Agreement proceeds of the sale of the Canadian subsidiary or certain treasury stock or offerings of equity, (iii) permits the increase of the interest rate on the Notes from 12.0% to 13.0% and (iv) establishes a borrowing base reserve of $400,000, which reserve shall be reduced to zero when the Company delivers to the Agent its financial statements for its fiscal quarter ending Dec. 31, 2007, provided no event of default under the Credit Agreement then exists.
The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture and the Amendment does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, incorporated by reference herein.
Copies of the Supplemental Indenture and the Amendment are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this report, respectively.
