On November 1, 2011, McCormick & Schmick Acquisition Corp. and The Boathouse Restaurants of Canada, Inc. (the Borrowers), each a subsidiary of McCormick & Schmicks Seafood Restaurants, Inc. (the Company) entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the Amendment) by and among the Borrowers; Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent; and Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as the lenders. The Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December 28, 2007 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the Credit Facility). The Amendment is effective as of November 1, 2011 and: (i) redefined Consolidated EBITDA for any fiscal period through FQ1 2012 by adding to that amount certain one-time charges consisting of advisory, legal, bonus and other similar expenses incurred during such period in connection with the Borrowers investigation of a potential sale or other similar strategic corporate alternatives, up to $4,000,000 in the aggregate; (ii) reduced the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio which the Borrowers must meet at the end of any fiscal quarter, beginning with FQ3 2011; and (iii) reduced the maximum total commitment under the credit facility from $40,000,000 to $25,000,000. The Company paid a $62,500 amendment fee and agreed to reimburse the lenders for certain incurred legal fees in connection with the Amendment. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and all its domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the Credit Facility are secured by a pledge of the capital stock of the Companys subsidiaries.
