Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 1, 2010, Affinity Group, Inc, (“AGI”), the wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“AGHI” or the “Company”), entered into the second amended and restated credit agreement (the “AGI New Senior Credit Agreement”) to refinance its existing senior credit facility ($128.9 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as at December 31, 2009) which was scheduled to mature on March 31, 2010 and second lien notes totaling $9.7 million due July 31, 2010.  The AGI New Senior Credit Agreement provides for term loans aggregating $144.3 million, including an original issue discount of 2%, that are payable in quarterly installments of $360,750 beginning March 1, 2011.  In addition, there are mandatory prepayments of the term loans from excess cash flow (as defined) of AGI and from asset sales.  The term loans under the AGI New Senior Credit Agreement mature on the earlier of March 1, 2015 or 90 days prior to the maturity of either AGI’s 9% senior subordinated notes due 2012 (“AGI Notes”) ($137.8 million principal amount outstanding as at December 31, 2009) or the Company’s 10-7/8% senior notes due 2012 (the “AGHI Notes”) ($113.6 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as at December 31, 2009).  Interest on the term loans under the AGI New Senior Credit Agreement floats at either 8.75% over the base rate (defined as the greater of the prime rate, federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or 5.25%) for borrowings whose interest is based on the prime rate or 10.0% over the LIBOR rate (defined as the greater of the 3 months LIBOR rate or 3.0%) for borrowings whose interest is based on LIBOR.  The AGI New Senior Credit Agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial covenants, and negative covenants, including a restriction on dividends or distributions by AGI to the Company.  Borrowings under the AGI New Senior Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the direct and indirect subsidiaries of AGI and are secured by liens on the assets of AGI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.  As a condition to the term loans under the AGI New Senior Credit Agreement, AGHI acquired the $25.4 million of AGHI Notes due on March 15, 2010 that were held by an affiliate of the Company and cancelled those notes.

 

In addition, on March 1, 2010, AGI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Camping World, Inc. and indirect subsidiary, CWI, Inc. (collectively, “Camping World”), as co-borrowers, and Camping World’s subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “CW Credit Facility”) providing for an asset based lending facility of up to $22 million, of which $10 million is available for letters of credit and $12 million is available for revolving loans.  The CW Credit Facility matures on the earlier of March 1, 2013, 60 days prior to the date of maturity of the AGI New Senior Credit Agreement, or 120 days prior to the earlier date of maturity of the AGI Notes and the AGH Notes.  Interest under the revolving loans under the CW Credit Facility floats at either 3.25% over the base rate (defined as the greater of the prime rate, federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or 1 month LIBOR) for borrowings whose interest is based on the prime rate or 3.25% over the LIBOR rate (defined as the greater of LIBOR rate applicable to the period of the respective LIBOR borrowings or 1.0%) for borrowings whose interest is based on LIBOR.   Borrowings under the CW Credit Facility are based on the borrowing base of eligible inventory and accounts receivable of Camping World and its subsidiaries.  The CW Credit Facility contains affirmative covenants, including  financial covenants, and negative covenants.  Borrowings under the Camping World Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Camping World and are secured by a pledge on the stock of Camping World and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and liens on the assets of Camping World and its direct and

indirect subsidiaries.  The lenders under the AGI New Senior Credit Agreement and the CW Credit Facility have entered into an intercreditor agreement that governs their rights in the collateral that is pledged to secure their respective loans.
