Under the terms of the Second Amendment, the Lenders agreed to continue to forbear, during the Forbearance Period (as defined below), from exercising their rights and remedies, under the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated May 30, 2012 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers and the Lenders in respect of the previously disclosed Subject Events of Default (as defined below); provided, however, that Agent may, but is not obligated to, collect the accounts and proceeds of other collateral under the Credit Agreement and apply such collections and proceeds to the obligations under the Credit Agreement and impose the default rate of interest under the Credit Agreement. The “Forbearance Period” commenced on September 27, 2012 and ends on the earlier to occur of (a) 5:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on April 30, 2013; or (b) the date that any forbearance default (which includes certain events of bankruptcy and any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement other than the Subject Events of Default) occurs; provided, however, the Forbearance Period will expire on (i) January 10, 2013 if Agent is not provided a copy of the final report prepared by Simmons & Co. of its analysis of the strategic restructuring options available to the Board of Directors of the Company or (ii) January 31, 2013 if the Board of Directors of the Company fails to act in a manner consistent with the strategic recommendations of Simmons & Co. set forth in the final report in a manner acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The “Subject Events of Default” include the following existing events of default and anticipated additional events of default under the Credit Agreement: (i) failure to comply with the Tangible Net Worth and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenants for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, (ii) failure to maintain Average Excess Availability for the month ended August 31, 2012, (iii) failure to comply with the Borrowing Base Certificate delivery requirements for the months ending May 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, (iv) failure to comply with the monthly financial statement delivery requirements for the month ending July 31, 2012, (v) failure to deliver to Agent foreign good standing certificate for ENGlobal US issued by the Secretary of State or other appropriate office of the State of Illinois, (vi) failure to comply with the Credit Agreement as a result of cross default under the EX-IM Transaction Specific Credit Agreement dated July 13, 2011, by and between ENGlobal U.S., Inc. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association; (vii) failure to comply with the Tangible Net Worth and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenants for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2012, (viii) failure to maintain Average Excess Availability throughout the Forbearance Period, and (ix) failure to deliver to Agent a foreign good standing certificate for ENGlobal US issued by the Secretary of State or other appropriate office of the State of Illinois before October 1, 2012.
 
Under the terms of the Second Amendment, the Maximum Revolving Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will be reduced from $35,000,0000 beginning on February 1, 2013 as follows: $31,500,000 for the period from February 1, 2013 through and including April 29, 2013, and $26,500,000 for the period from April 30, 2013 through and including the last day of the term, which is presently May 29, 2015.
 
Under the terms of the Second Amendment, during the Forbearance Period, the Borrowers are not required to comply with the financial covenants relating to Tangible Net Worth, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Average Excess Availability (as each of those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement).  However, the Company will be required to comply, during the Forbearance Period, with the following new financial covenant: a minimum EBITDAR (as defined below) as set forth in the table below for such month:

For month ending: March 31, 2013
($2,127,000)

Under the terms of the Second Amendment, during the Forbearance Period, (a) the Borrowers have agreed to continue to retain Deloitte LLP to perform the scope of duties agreed to by Agent and the Lenders, dated October 30, 2012 and (b) ENGlobal US has agreed to provide Agent with weekly updates of the Simmons & Co. strategic option process in form and detail satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion.  In consideration of the Second Amendment, Borrowers agreed to pay the Lenders an amendment fee of $262,500.
