PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
          Where you can find more information. We file annual, quarterly and other reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. We also make available free of charge through our website at www.trm.com, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed electronically with the SEC.
          Overview. We are an independent sales organization, or ISO, servicing businesses in the operation of automated teller machines, or ATMs. We expanded into the ATM business in 1999, leveraging the experience and infrastructure we had established in developing our photocopier operations, which began in 1981. From 1999 to 2004, we expanded our ATM operations through both internal growth and through acquisitions including, in November 2004, the acquisition of a network of over 15,000 ATMs from eFunds Corporation. As a result of financial difficulties that we encountered beginning in 2005, in 2006 we determined to sell assets in order to reduce debt and to focus our business on our U.S. ATM operations. As a result, we sold our United Kingdom photocopy business in June 2006, our United Kingdom, Canadian and German ATM businesses in January 2007, our United States photocopy business in January 2007 and our Canadian photocopy business in June 2007. Currently, we operate ATMs in the United States. During December 2007 our United States ATM networks had 9,307 transacting ATMs.
          We locate our ATMs in high traffic retail environments through national merchants such as The Pantry and Cumberland Farms, and through regional and locally-owned supermarkets, convenience and other stores. In addition to providing our merchant customers with supplemental revenues from transaction fees, we believe that the presence of ATMs in a merchant’s store helps to promote higher foot traffic, increased impulse purchases and longer shopping times since they often make the retail site a destination for cash. We attempt to maximize the usefulness of our ATMs to our customers by participating in as many electronic funds transfer networks, or EFTNs, as practical, including NYCE, Visa, Mastercard, Cirrus, Plus, American Express, Discover/Novus, and STAR.
Industry Segments and Geographical Information
          Since the sale of our photocopier businesses and our foreign ATM businesses, we have only one operating segment – ATM operations in the United States.
Products and Services
          We deploy ATMs under two programs:
    Company-owned program. Under this program there are three basic formats under which an ATM is operated:
    We own the ATM and are responsible for all of the operating expenses including maintenance, cash management and loading, supplies, signage and telecommunication services.
 
    We own the ATM and are responsible for all operational aspects of the unit except for cash management and loading.
 
    The merchant owns the ATM and we are responsible for all operational aspects of the unit.
          We typically use this program for national and regional merchants.
    Merchant-owned program. Under a merchant-owned arrangement, the merchant typically buys the ATM through us and is responsible for most of the operating expenses, such as maintenance, cash management, supplies, and telecommunication services. We typically provide access to transaction processing services, and the merchants use our maintenance services from time to time. Our rental program is similar to our merchant-owned program, except that the merchant rents the

1


 

      ATM from us rather than purchasing it, and we provide the maintenance and supplies for the machine.
          In December 2007 we had 2,143 ATMs operating under the programs for which we were responsible for cash management and 7,164 ATMs for which merchants were responsible for cash management.
          We attempt to place the ATMs in our company-owned program in high visibility, high traffic merchant locations. Our experience has demonstrated that the following locations, among others, often meet these criteria:
    convenience stores;
 
    combination convenience stores and gas stations;
 
    supermarkets;
 
    drug stores;
 
    entertainment facilities such as bowling alleys, movie theaters, amusement parks and casinos;
 
    restaurants and bars, particularly chain restaurants; and
 
    shopping malls.
          We have found that the primary factors affecting transaction volume at a given ATM are its location within the site and merchandising, such as indoor and outdoor signage, directing consumers to the location. As a result, we seek to maximize the visibility and accessibility of our ATMs, because we believe that once a customer establishes a pattern of using a particular ATM, the customer will generally continue to use that ATM.
          All of our new ATMs feature advanced functionality, diagnostics and ease of use including color displays, personal computer-based operating systems, thermal printing, dial-up and remote monitoring capabilities, and upgrade and capacity-expansion capability. All machines can perform basic cash dispensing and balance inquiry transactions, transmit on-screen marketing, and dispense coupons. Most of our equipment is modular in design, which allows us to be flexible and accommodating to the needs of our clients as technology advances.
Sales and Marketing
          We maintain sales and marketing capability in the United States. Our sales and marketing staff consists of four employees, including a vice president.
          Our sales force maintains contact with larger accounts: retail, supermarket and convenience chains, mall developers, casinos and others. This contact familiarizes the prospect with our name and our products and services, and also heightens sales staff awareness of contract expirations and requests for proposal issued by the prospects. Additionally, we have telephone salespeople and distributors who call existing customers, independent merchants and small chain accounts to discuss contract expiration and renewal, satisfaction with current levels of service, and future equipment and service needs. We maintain a sales database to log their contacts and enable follow up calls.
Primary Supply Relationships
          ATM relationships. We purchase our ATMs from Triton Systems, Hyosung America, Inc., and Tranax Technologies, Inc. We have previously purchased ATMs from NCR Corporation. We believe that the large quantity of ATMs we purchase from these manufacturers enables us to receive favorable pricing and payment terms. In addition, we maintain close working relationships with these manufacturers in the course of our business, allowing us to stay informed regarding product updates and to minimize technical problems with purchased equipment. Although we currently purchase a majority of our ATMs from Triton Systems, we believe that our relationships with Hyosung American, Inc., NCR Corporation, and Tranax Technologies, Inc. are good and that we would be able to purchase the ATMs we required from them if we were no longer able to purchase ATMs from Triton Systems.
          Master Services Agreement. In connection with the acquisition of the eFunds ATM business in November 2004, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with eFunds, which we call the MSA. Through this agreement, we consolidated many of the services we had previously obtained from multiple third party service providers with one

2


 

provider and transferred to eFunds some of the services we had previously provided in-house. In December 2007, we entered into an agreement in principle with eFunds to terminate the MSA. In connection with the termination of that agreement, we agreed to pay eFunds $2.5 million to settle disputed charges under the agreement. The payment is due upon execution of a mutually acceptable settlement and release agreement. eFunds has agreed to work with us to provide an orderly transition whereby we will assume, either directly or through other outsource providers, the services being performed under the MSA, other than ATM processing which eFunds will continue to provide through November 2011.
Servicing
          Through 2006 we had an extensive field servicing operation that maintained our network of ATMs and photocopiers. Through this operation, we provided installation, maintenance, diagnostic and repair services to most of our ATMs and photocopiers. Following the sale of our United States photocopy business in January 2007, we terminated our staff of field service technicians, and entered into contracts with third parties to service our ATMs.
Seasonality
          In our ATM operations, we experience higher transaction volumes per machine in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. The increased volumes in the summer months coincide with increased vacation travel.
Merchant Customers
          We have contracts with national and regional merchants and with numerous independent store operators. ATMs at The Pantry locations accounted for approximately 20% and 25% of our United States ATM net sales in 2006 and 2007, respectively. ATMs at Cumberland Farms locations accounted for approximately 9% and 11% of our United States ATM net sales in 2006 and 2007, respectively.
          The terms of our contracts vary as a result of negotiations at the time of execution. The contract terms typically include:
    an initial term of at least three years;
 
    ATM exclusivity at locations where we install an ATM and, in many cases, a right of first refusal for all other locations;
 
    a requirement that the merchant provide a highly visible space for the ATM and signage;
 
    protection for us against underperforming locations by permitting us to increase the withdrawal fee or remove ATMs;
 
    provisions making the merchant’s fee variable depending on the number of ATM transactions and milestones;
 
    provisions imposing an obligation on the merchant to operate the ATM at any time its store is open to the public; and
 
    provisions that require a merchant to use its best efforts to have any purchaser of the merchant’s store assume our contract.

Competition
          Individuals seeking ATM-related services have a variety of choices at banking locations and within retail establishments. The convenience cash delivery and balance inquiry market is, and we expect it to remain, highly competitive due to the fact that there are few barriers to entry into the business. Our principal competition arises from other independent sales organizations, or ISOs, similar to us including Innovus, Inc., Global Axcess Corp., International Merchant Services, Inc., Cardtronics, Inc., Access to Money, ATM Express, Inc., and PAI ATM Services in the United States. We also compete with numerous national and regional banks that operate ATMs at their branches and at other non-branch locations. In addition, we believe that there will be continued consolidation in the ATM industry in the United States. Accordingly, new competitors may emerge and quickly acquire significant market share.
Government and Industry Regulation
          Our ATM business is subject to government and industry regulations which are subject to change. Our failure to comply with existing or future laws and regulations pertaining to our ATM business could result in restrictions on our ability to provide our products and services, as well as the imposition of civil fines.
          Electronic Funds Transfer Act. The United States Electronic Funds Transfer Act, while directed principally at banks and other financial institutions, also has provisions that apply to us. In particular, the act requires ATM operators who impose withdrawal fees to notify a customer of the withdrawal fee before the customer completes a withdrawal and incurs the fee. Notification must be made through signs placed at or on the ATM and by notification either on the ATM screen or through a print-out from the ATM. All of our ATMs in the United States provide both types of notification.
          Americans with Disabilities Act. The ADA currently includes provisions regulating the amount of clear floor space required in front of each ATM, prescribing the maximum height and reach depth of each ATM and mandating that instructions and all information for use of the ATM be made accessible to and independently usable by persons with vision impairments. The Department of Justice may adopt new accessibility guidelines under the ADA that will include provisions addressing ATMs and how to make them more accessible to the disabled. Under the proposed guidelines that have been published for comment but not yet adopted, ATM height and reach requirements would be shortened, keypads would be required to be laid out in the manner of telephone keypads, and ATMs would be required to possess speech capabilities, among other modifications. If adopted, these new guidelines would affect the manufacture of ATM equipment going forward and could require us to retrofit ATMs in our network as those ATMs are refurbished or updated for other purposes.
          Regulation of transaction fees. The imposition of fees on ATM transactions in the United States is not currently subject to federal regulation. There have been, however, various state and local efforts in the United States to ban or limit transaction fees, generally as a result of activities of consumer advocacy groups that believe that transaction fees are unfair to users. We are not aware of any existing bans or limits on transaction fees applicable to us in any of the jurisdictions in which we currently do business with the exception of Mississippi and Wyoming. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that transaction fees will not be banned or limited in other cities and states where we operate. Such a ban or limit could have a material adverse effect on us and other ATM operators.
          EFTN regulations. EFTNs have adopted extensive regulations that are applicable to various aspects of our operations and the operations of other ATM operators. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act, commonly known as Regulation E, is the major source of EFT network regulations. The regulations promulgated under Regulation E establish the basic rights, liabilities, and responsibilities of consumers who use electronic fund transfer services and of financial institutions that offer these services. The services covered include, among other services, ATM transactions. Generally, Regulation E requires us to provide notice of the fee to be charged the consumer, establish limits on the consumer’s liability for unauthorized use of his card, provide receipts to the consumer, and establish protest procedures for the consumer. We believe that we are in material compliance with these regulations and, if any deficiencies were discovered, that we would be able to correct them before they had a material adverse impact on our business.
          Encrypting Pin Pad (“EPP”) and Triple Data Encryption Standard (“Triple DES”). Data encryption makes ATMs more tamper-resistant. Two of the more recently developed advanced data encryption methods are commonly referred to as EPP and Triple DES. In 2005, we adopted a policy that any new ATMs that we acquire from a manufacturer must be both EPP and Triple DES compliant. As of December 31, 2007, fewer than 50 of our owned ATMs in the United States were not compliant with EPP and Triple DES. We plan to upgrade these remaining machines when upgrade parts are received from the manufacturers. These ATMs continue to operate on a limited basis under extension agreements with a few networks. We estimate that these remaining machines will be upgraded by

4


 

April 30, 2008; however, our ability to complete these upgrades depends on parts and labor vendors’ availability. We estimate that costs associated with upgrading these remaining machines will not exceed $50,000.
          Rehabilitation Act. On December 1, 2006, a United States District Court ruled that the United States’ currencies (as currently designed) violate the Rehabilitation Act, a law that prohibits discrimination in government programs on the basis of disability, as the paper currencies issued by the United States are identical in size and color, regardless of denomination. Under the current ruling, the United States Treasury Department has been ordered to develop ways in which to differentiate paper currencies such that an individual who is visually impaired would be able to distinguish between the different denominations. In response to the December 1, 2006 ruling, the Justice Department has filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, requesting that the decision be overturned on the grounds that varying the size of denominations could cause significant burdens on the vending machine industry and cost the Bureau of Engraving and Printing an initial investment of $178.0 million and up to $50.0 million in new printing plates. While it is still uncertain at this time what the outcome of the appeals process will be, in the event the current ruling is not overturned, our company along with other participants in the ATM industry may be forced to incur significant costs to upgrade current machines’ hardware and software components.
Trademarks
          Most of our ATM locations are identified by distinctive yellow, green and black trapezoidal signs bearing “TRM ATM(TM),” “Got Cash?” and “TRM Cash Machine(TM).” We have registered the name “TRM Corporation(TM)” and “TRM ATM(TM)” trademarks for signage used in the United States. Those trademarks currently expire between 2009 and 2011 but can be renewed. We consider our business name and brands to be important to our business.
Employees
          As of December 31, 2007, we had 39 employees working in marketing, customer service and administration. None of our employees is represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Business Generally
We are uncertain whether our operations can generate sufficient cash to comply with the covenants of our loan agreements and to pay our obligations on an ongoing basis.
          We incurred a net loss of $120.1 million in 2006 and $8.4 million in 2007. As a result of our financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2006, we failed to meet certain financial covenants of our financing agreements with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders. On November 20, 2006 we entered into amendments that restructured our loans and waived the failure to meet the loan covenants. Under the restructured loan agreements principal payments of $69.9 million were due in the first quarter of 2007. During the first six months of 2007 we sold our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our United States and Canadian photocopy businesses and used $98.6 million from the proceeds of those sales to make principal and interest payments under these loans. Following these payments, as of June 30, 2007, the only remaining balance under our term loans and line of credit was $1.9 million on our Term Loan B. As of December 31, 2007, we also owed $5.3 million pursuant to a settlement agreement with the purchaser of our United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and $2.5 million pursuant to the settlement agreement with eFunds Corporation to terminate the MSA. We borrowed $1.0 million pursuant to an agreement with LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd. and Lampe Conway & Co., LLC in February 2008 which provided cash to make a £380,000 payment due on the United Kingdom settlement agreement and have begun efforts to finance the debt payable under the eFunds settlement agreement. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain further financing on satisfactory terms, or at all. We are uncertain whether our operations can generate sufficient cash to pay our obligations on an ongoing basis. There are cross-default provisions in TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement and our Securities Purchase Agreement with LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd. and Lampe Conway & Co., LLC, which we refer to as the Lampe Facility, whereby if we fail to comply with the covenants of our restructured loan agreements and are declared to be in default by GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders, we may be declared in default of the provisions of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement as well, and the lenders may demand payment. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

5


 

Our continuation as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our obligations on an ongoing basis.
We currently do not comply with several of the covenants in our loan agreement with GSO which may result in a default under our vault cash facility and allow our lenders to accelerate our loans. A failure to obtain waivers of these defaults or obtain new financing can cause significant impairment of our ability to conduct our operations.
          We are currently in default of several financial and other covenants under our financing agreements with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders. As a result, GSO has the right to declare us in default and accelerate the maturity of the facility. Moreover, because of cross-default provisions under our vault cash facility, a declaration of default by GSO would entitle the vault cash lender to terminate our vault cash facility. The Lampe Facility also contains cross default provisions whereby upon a default, LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd. can accelerate the maturity of our debt under the Lampe Facility, subject to a 180-day standstill with respect to any default or acceleration under the facility with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and the other lenders. See “Risks Related to our Business Generally – The terms of our credit agreement may restrict our current and future operating and financial flexibility.” It is unlikely that we will be able to cure the defaults within the foreseeable future. If we are unable to obtain further waivers from GSO, or to replace the GSO facility with new financing, our ability to conduct our operations could be significantly impaired and we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
We could be liable for sales price adjustments and warranty/indemnification claims relating to businesses we sold in 2006 and 2007.
          In 2006 and 2007 we sold our ATM businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada, and our photocopy businesses in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada in five separate transactions. In connection with each of these sales, we have made various representations and warranties and/or provided indemnities. The sales prices are subject to adjustment based on working capital amounts, the value of accounts receivable as of the closing of the sale or other factors. The purchasers may make claims against us relating to the representations or warranties or provisions for adjustment of the sales prices, and those claims could be substantial. In November 2007, we entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which we agreed to repay £3,250,000 (approximately $6.4 million using exchange rates as of December 31, 2007) as a final settlement of all claims under the agreement for the sale of our United Kingdom and German ATM businesses. Currently, none of the other purchasers are pursuing claims against us. Because we used substantially all of the net proceeds from the business sales to reduce our debt, we might not have sufficient cash to pay such claims without additional financing.
The terms of our credit agreement may restrict our current and future operating and financial flexibility.
          As a result of our sales of our U.K., German and Canadian ATM businesses and our United Kingdom, United States and Canadian photocopy businesses, we have substantially repaid our outstanding credit facility debt. Approximately $2.1 million of that debt remains outstanding under our facility with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and $1.0 million of debt remains outstanding under our Lampe Facility. The credit agreements that are in effect with respect to the remaining debt include a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to:
    engage in mergers, consolidations and asset dispositions;
 
    pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock;
 
    merge into or consolidate with any third party;
 
    create, incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness;
 
    incur liens;
 
    make loans and investments;
 
    engage in transactions with affiliates;
 
    prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated indebtedness;
 
    enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

6


 

    make asset or property dispositions; and
 
    change the nature of our business.
          Our credit agreements also contain covenants that prohibit our consolidated capital expenditures for each month from exceeding certain amounts, require that our operations result in minimum monthly EBITDA (as defined in the agreements) amounts, and that we maintain our common stock’s listing on the NASDAQ Global Market. As further discussed under “Risks Relating to Our Common Stock – We have been notified that our shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market as a result of our failure to satisfy the minimum stock price requirement of the NASDAQ Global Market,” we have received a NASDAQ Staff Determination Letter stating that our shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market as a result of our failure to satisfy the minimum stock price requirement of the NASDAQ Global Market. We have requested a hearing to appeal the Staff’s determination.
          A failure to comply with the covenants under our credit agreements could result in an event of default. In the event of a default under either of our credit agreements, the lenders of both such facilities could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, to be due and payable, and to require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings. An acceleration of maturity under our credit agreement with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and under our Lampe Facility would result in an event of default under the TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement which is the source of cash we use in our ATMs. See “Risks Relating to Our ATM Business – We obtain our ATM vault cash under an arrangement that could cause us to lose our access to the vault cash and to fees that we have earned due to circumstances beyond our control.” If any or all of our debt were to be accelerated, we may not have sufficient liquid assets available to us to repay such indebtedness in full and the lenders may proceed against the collateral securing such indebtedness, which includes the capital stock of our subsidiaries.
We have received a “going concern” opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm, which may negatively impact our business.
          We have received a report from McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, regarding our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, which included an explanatory paragraph stating that the consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The report also stated that our uncertainty regarding our ability to meet our future obligations has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Any failure to dispel any continuing doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern could adversely affect our ability to enter into collaborative relationships and to raise additional capital, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our sales depend on transaction fees from our network of ATMs. A decline in either transaction volume or the level of transaction fees could reduce our sales and harm our operating results.
          Our operating results depend on both transaction volume and the amount of the transaction fees we receive from our ATM network. Our transaction volume and fees depend principally upon:
    our ability to replace sites lost through non-renewal or termination of our contracts by the merchants in whose stores we currently have placed our ATMs;
 
    competition, which can result in over-served markets, pressure both to reduce existing fee structures and increase sales discounts to merchants and reduced opportunities to secure merchant or other placements of our machines;
 
    our ability to service, maintain and repair ATMs in our network promptly and efficiently;
 
    continued market acceptance of our services; and
 
    government regulation and network adjustment of our fees.
          If our transaction volume or the level of transaction fees we receive decrease, our sales could decline, which would impact our operating results.

We have experienced significant attrition in the number of ATMs in our network.
          We have experienced significant attrition in the number of merchant-owned ATMs in our network that were acquired in our acquisition of the ATM business of eFunds Corporation. In 2007 the average number of transacting ATMs in our ATM network decreased by 2,125 ATMs, or 17.2%, from the average number of transacting ATMs in our ATM network during 2006 due to merchants not renewing or terminating their contracts with us. We have sought to halt this attrition through improved merchant service provided by expanded internal operations and strategic partnerships with third party service vendors including Solvport, LLC, NCR Corporation, and Diebold. This attrition has reduced and, if it continues in the future, will further reduce our sales and our ability to become profitable.
If merchant-owned ATM customers terminate their relationships with us prior to the termination of their contract or do not renew their contracts upon their expiration, it could reduce our ATM sales.
          Although our merchant-owned ATM customers have multi-year contracts with us for transaction processing services, due to competition, some of these customers may leave us for our competitors prior to the expiration of their contracts, or may not renew their contracts upon their expiration. When this occurs, we pursue these customers to remain processing with us or alternatively, in the event they terminate their relationship with us prior to expiration of their contracts, we seek payment of damages under a breach of contract clause in our contracts. If a substantial number of merchant-owned ATM customers end their relationships with us, it could cause a material reduction in our ATM sales.
Changes in technology could reduce use of ATMs as a result, reduce our sales.
          New technology in the ATM industry may result in the existing machines in our networks becoming obsolete, requiring us, or the merchants in our networks who own their machines, to either replace or upgrade our existing machines. Any replacement or upgrade program to machines that we own or that we must upgrade or replace under contracts with merchant owners would involve substantial expense, as was the case with respect to the upgrade of our ATMs to meet triple DES requirements. A failure to either replace or upgrade obsolete machines could result in customers using other ATM networks that could employ newer technology, thereby reducing our sales and reducing or eliminating our operating margins. As a result of our financial situation, we may not have sufficient capital to provide upgrades or replacements to a significant degree, which could impact our operating results.
The ATM market is highly competitive, which could limit our growth or reduce our sales.
          Persons seeking ATM services have numerous choices. These choices include ATMs offered by banks or other financial institutions and ATMs offered by ISOs such as ours. Some of our competitors offer services directly comparable to ours while others are only indirect competitors as we describe in “Business — Competition.” In addition, we believe that there will be continued consolidation in the ATM industry in the United States. Accordingly, new competitors may emerge and quickly acquire significant market share. This competition could prevent us from obtaining or maintaining desirable locations for our machines, reduce the use of our machines, and limit or reduce the transaction fees we can charge or require us to increase our merchants’ share of those fees. The occurrence of any of these factors could limit our growth or reduce our sales.
We have agreed to terminate our master services agreement with eFunds and, if we are unable to provide timely and satisfactory replacement services, our relationships with merchants and cardholders could deteriorate and our transaction volume could be reduced.
          Our ATM business requires close coordination of merchant relationships, cardholder relationships, cash management activities and telecommunication services. In connection with our acquisition of the eFunds ATM business in 2004, we entered into a master services agreement with eFunds pursuant to which eFunds has provided most of these services to us for merchant contracts we acquired from them. As a result, we have depended on eFunds to provide many services that are necessary to the operations of our ATM business. In December 2007 we entered into a settlement agreement that terminates the master services agreement. eFunds has agreed to work with us to provide an orderly transition whereby we will assume, either directly or through other outsource providers, the services being performed under the master services agreement, other than ATM processing. If we are unable to provide replacement services in a timely and satisfactory manner, our relationships with merchants or cardholders could deteriorate and our transaction volume could be reduced.
We rely on third parties to service our ATMs and their failure to do so may harm our operations, damage our reputation and decrease our transaction volume.

          Our success depends upon the proper functioning of our ATMs. We rely on third party service providers to service our ATMs. If our third-party service providers fail to service our ATMs properly, or fail to respond quickly to problems, we may lose customers which will decrease our transaction volume and adversely affect our ability to become profitable. Additionally if our third-party service providers fail to service our ATMs, our reputation and ability to grow may be impaired.
Increases in interest rates will increase our expenses.
          We have credit and vault cash facilities that carry variable interest rates. Consequently, increases in interest rates increase our operating costs and expenses. See Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk” for a discussion regarding the impact of changes in interest rates on our expenses.
Our ATM business operates in a changing and unpredictable regulatory environment.
          ATM withdrawal transactions involve the electronic transfer of funds through EFTNs. The United States Electronic Funds Transfer Act provides the basic framework establishing the rights, liabilities and responsibilities of participants in EFTNs. In addition, there have been various state and local efforts to ban, limit or otherwise regulate ATM transaction fees, which make up a large portion of our sales. For example, in Tennessee, Nebraska and Iowa only bank-sponsored ATMs can impose withdrawal fees. As a result, in these states we must make arrangements with a local bank to act as a sponsor of ATMs in our networks, which typically involves additional documentation costs and payment of a fee to the bank. Any limitation on our ability to charge withdrawal fees in areas where we have a concentration of ATMs could reduce our ATM sales and reduce the incentive that merchants would have to keep ATMs in our network on their premises. In addition, if existing regulations are made more restrictive or new regulations are enacted, we may incur significant expense to comply with them.
          Because of reported instances of fraudulent use of ATMs, including the use of electronic devices to scan ATM card information, or skimming, legislation is pending that would require state or federal licensing and background checks of ATM operators and would regulate the deployment and operation of ATMs. There are proposals pending in some jurisdictions that would require merchants that are not financial institutions to be licensed in order to maintain an ATM on their premises; some jurisdictions currently require such licensing. New licensing, deployment or operating requirements could increase our cost of doing business in those markets.
We may incur substantial expense in upgrading our ATMs to meet new standards, and, if we cannot meet compliance deadlines, we could be required to remove non-compliant ATMs from service.
          Data encryption makes ATMs more tamper-resistant. Two of the more recently developed advanced data encryption methods are commonly referred to as EPP and Triple DES. In 2005, we adopted a policy that any new ATMs that we acquire from a manufacturer must be both EPP and Triple DES compliant. As of December 31, 2007, fewer than 50 of our owned ATMs in the United States were not compliant with EPP and Triple DES. We plan to upgrade these remaining machines when upgrade parts are received from the manufacturers. These ATMs continue to operate on a limited basis under extension agreements with a few networks. We estimate that these remaining machines will be upgraded by April 30, 2008; however, our ability to complete these upgrades depends on parts and labor vendors with which our influence may be limited. We estimate that costs associated with upgrading these remaining machines will not exceed $50,000.
          The Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, currently includes provisions regulating the amount of clear floor space required in front of each ATM, prescribing the maximum height and reach depth of each ATM, and mandating that instructions and all information for use of the ATM be made accessible to and independently usable by persons with vision impairments. The Department of Justice is currently drafting new accessibility guidelines under the ADA that will cover virtually all aspects of commercial activity relating to disabled persons. We expect that these new guidelines will include provisions addressing ATMs and how to make them more accessible to the disabled. Under the current proposals, height and reach requirements would be shortened, keypads would be required to be laid out in the manner of telephone keypads with selected Braille symbols and ATMs would be required to possess speech capabilities. These new guidelines would affect the manufacture of ATM equipment going forward and could require us to retire or upgrade many of the ATMs we own, as well as merchant-owned ATMs where we are responsible for upgrade costs, potentially at significant expense to us. While we anticipate having the resources available to complete any required upgrades to our ATMs, if our projections are not achieved or our circumstances worsen, we may not have sufficient resources without obtaining additional financing, which may not be available to us. The comment period on the proposed guidelines ended May 31, 2005. No guidelines have yet been promulgated. Should the guidelines proposed become final, we anticipate an 18-month phase-in before new equipment in new locations must comply with new accessibility requirements. If ATMs in our network are not compliant with any applicable ADA guidelines by any

established deadlines and we cannot obtain compliance waivers, we could have to remove the non-compliant ATMs from service and, as a result, our ATM net sales could be materially reduced during the period of time necessary to become compliant.
The passing of anti-money laundering legislation could cause us to lose some merchant accounts, thus reducing our revenues.
          Recent concerns expressed by the United States federal government regarding the use of ATMs to launder money could lead to the imposition of additional regulations on our sponsoring financial institutions and our merchant customers regarding the source of cash loaded into their ATMs. In particular, such regulations could result in the incurrence of additional costs by individual merchants who load their own cash, thereby making their ATMs less profitable. Accordingly, some individual merchants may decide to discontinue their ATM operations, thus reducing the number of merchant-owned accounts that we currently manage. If such a reduction were to occur, we would see a corresponding decrease in our revenues.
If we, our transaction processors, our EFTNs or our other service providers experience system failures, the ATM products and services we provide could be delayed or interrupted, which would harm our business.
          Our ability to provide reliable service largely depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operations of our transaction processors, EFTNs and other service providers. Any significant interruptions could severely harm our business and reputation and result in a loss of sales. Additionally, if we cause any such interruption, we could lose the affected merchants or damage our relationships with them. Our systems and operations, and those of our transaction processors, EFTNs and other service providers, could be exposed to damage or interruption from fire, natural disaster, unlawful acts, terrorist attacks, power loss, telecommunications failure, unauthorized entry and computer viruses. We cannot be certain that any measures we and our service providers have taken to prevent system failures will be successful or that we will not experience service interruptions. Further, our property and business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses or failures that may occur.
We rely on EFTNs and transaction processors; if we cannot renew our agreements with them, if they are unable to perform their services effectively or if they decrease the level of the transaction fees we receive, it could harm our business.
          We rely on several EFTNs and transaction processors to provide card authorization, data capture and settlement services to us and our merchant customers. Any inability on our part to renew our agreements with these or similar service providers or their failure to provide their services efficiently and effectively may damage our relationships with our merchants and may permit those merchants to terminate their agreements with us.
          Our ATM net sales depend to a significant extent upon the transaction fees we receive through EFTNs. If one or more of the EFTNs in which we participate reduces the transaction fees it pays us, and we are unable to route transactions to other EFTNs to replace them, our ATM net sales would be reduced.
We could lose access to our ATM vault cash and fees that we have earned due to circumstances beyond our control.
          Our current vault cash facility is secured by the cash we draw from it to place in ATMs, as well as by the withdrawal and interchange fees we have earned but not yet collected and a demand letter of credit, so the lender under that arrangement could seize the cash and fees in the event of a default.
          We obtain the cash that we use to fill our placement ATMs, which we call vault cash, in the United States pursuant to an agreement with TRM Inventory Funding Trust, for which one of our subsidiaries, TRM ATM Corporation, acts as servicer. Under the terms of the loan and servicing agreement, the Trust and the servicer must make periodic payments of fees related to the arrangement. The obligations under the loan and servicing agreement are secured by pledges of all of the Trust’s assets, including the vault cash, our uncollected withdrawal and interchange fees and a demand letter of credit. If there is a default under the loan and servicing agreement, the lender may terminate the loan and servicing agreement and seize the collateral, including existing vault cash, fees we have not yet received, and draw on the letter of credit. As a result, a default under the loan and servicing agreement could cause us to lose fees we had earned and suspend operations with respect to our placement ATMs unless we were able to rapidly arrange an alternative source of vault cash.

          Our vault cash arrangement could go into default as a result of factors over which we have no control.
          The loan and servicing agreement for our vault cash facility contains events of default that include:
    An “event of bankruptcy” with respect to any entity on whose property more than 10% of our ATMs are located, if we are unable to remove all cash from those ATMs within five business days after the event of bankruptcy occurs. An event of bankruptcy includes the filing of a bankruptcy petition with a court, an entity admitting in writing that it is unable to satisfy its obligations as they become due or the board of directors of the entity voting to cause an event of bankruptcy, regardless of whether we are informed of any of these actions.
 
    Any depository bank or transportation agent, excepting one pre-approved bank and one pre-approved transportation agent, failing to maintain a specified debt rating.
 
    The amount of vault cash held by or maintained on the premises of entities, which would generally be our transportation agents and merchants, that have experienced an event of bankruptcy when added to the amount of cash owed from settlement banks that is past due exceeding a designated level.
          Due to these provisions, the bankruptcy or financial difficulty of certain of our merchants or the companies on which we rely for services could cause an event of default under our loan and servicing agreement and prevent us from having access to the vault cash we require to operate our placement ATMs. We do not have any operational control over our merchants or other service providers and may not be able to determine whether any of these entities are facing financial difficulty that could increase our risk of default under the loan and servicing agreement. As a result, we could lose access to our vault cash due to circumstances that we would be unable to foresee and that are beyond our control.
          If our vault cash arrangement terminates, we may be unable to obtain vault cash from alternative sources on acceptable terms or at all. If we do not have access to vault cash for our placement ATMs we will have to suspend our operations with respect to these ATMs, our results of operations will be reduced and the value of our shareholders’ investments will decrease. Additionally, there are cross-default provisions in our vault cash facility whereby if we fail to comply with the covenants of our restructured loan agreements and are declared to be in default by GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders, we may be declared in default of the provisions of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement as well, and the lenders may demand payment.
We have notified our vault cash provider that we intend to terminate our current vault cash arrangement and obtain our vault cash from another source; although we believe that we will have an agreement in place for a new vault cash arrangement that will be more cost-effective than the current arrangement, if we are unable to obtain vault cash for our placement ATMs, it would harm our business.
          In March 2008, we notified our current vault cash provider that we intend to terminate our current vault cash arrangement sometime during the second quarter of 2008. We have made arrangements with another provider of vault cash that we believe will provide vault cash for us at a lower cost. We do not anticipate that this change in vault cash providers will cause any significant interruption in our business. We have tested the new vault cash provider’s abilities in a small sample of our ATMs. This test created an exclusivity violation under our current vault cash agreement. Although we expect our current provider to cooperate in our transition to the new provider, they could declare us to be in default of TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement and demand repayment of our vault cash liability before we have finalized arrangements to replace that cash in our ATMs. If we do not have access to vault cash for our company-owned ATMs we will have to suspend our operations with respect to these ATMs and our revenues will be reduced.
We experienced substantial theft losses in our ATM operations in the past. If we were to experience a recurrence of these losses, our results of operations could be harmed.
          Our United States ATM operations experienced $569,000 in unreimbursed theft losses in 2005, as a result of which we implemented new measures to counter theft and vandalism. Our unreimbursed theft losses in 2006 were $201,000 and in 2007 were $145,000. We cannot assure you that the anti-theft and anti-vandalism measures we have taken will be sufficient to reduce or even maintain the 2007 level of loss in 2008. Failure to do so or to devise additional measures to counteract theft and vandalism may result in substantial theft and vandalism losses, harming our results of operations.

          In the past we have had crime insurance to reimburse us for losses that exceed certain deductible levels. Since July 1, 2005, due to increases in both the deductible level and the cost of the insurance, we have insured only against catastrophic cash losses.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
We do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock.
          We do not plan to declare dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future and, in any event, under the terms of our credit facility with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders and the Lampe Facility, we are prohibited from doing so.
Our charter documents and Oregon law may inhibit a takeover that shareholders may consider favorable.
     The Oregon Business Corporation Act, our restated articles of incorporation and our restated bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company or our management that shareholders may consider favorable or beneficial, which could reduce the value of our shareholders’ investments. These provisions could discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for shareholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions include:
    authorization to issue “blank check” preferred stock, which is preferred stock that can be created by our board of directors without prior shareholder approval and with rights senior to those of common stock;
 
    a classified board of directors, so that it could take three successive annual meetings to replace all directors;
 
    authority for directors to establish the size of the board of directors without shareholder approval;
 
    a requirement of a 75% vote of shareholders to remove a director for cause;
 
    a requirement of a 75% vote of shareholders for business combinations with a 5% or greater shareholder that is not approved by our board of directors, with only limited exceptions; and
 
    an advance notice requirement for shareholder proposals.
The delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Global Market may result in impairment of the price at which our common stock trades and the liquidity of the market for it.
          On March 12, 2008, we announced that we had failed to comply with NASDAQ’s minimum bid price requirement and as a result, no longer met the requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market. We filed an election to transfer to the NASDAQ Capital Market. On March 19, 2007, we were notified by NASDAQ that our application to transfer our shares to the NASDAQ Capital Market was denied due to our failure to demonstrate compliance with the NASDAQ Capital Market’s initial inclusion requirements (other than bid price) as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c). We received an additional NASDAQ Staff Determination Letter dated March 19, 2008, stating that our shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market as a result of our failure to satisfy the minimum stock price requirement of the NASDAQ Global Market as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a).
          NASDAQ’s staff notified us that, unless we requested an appeal of the delisting determination, NASDAQ would suspend trading of our common stock at the opening of business on March 28, 2008, and our common stock would subsequently be delisted. We have appealed the Staff’s determination and requested a hearing, which will stay any delisting action pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel following the hearing.
          If our common stock is delisted, it will not be traded on any national stock exchange and it may not be traded on any exchange for the foreseeable future. In addition, even if we regain compliance and seek to be relisted, we cannot be certain that NASDAQ will approve our application for relisting or that any other exchange will approve our common stock for listing. As a consequence, the ability of a stockholder to sell our common stock, and the price obtainable for our common stock could be materially impaired.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
          Our principal offices are located at 5208 N.E. 122nd Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97230-1074. We currently lease approximately 44,000 square feet in Portland and sublease approximately 19,000 square feet of that space to other tenants. The lease runs until 2010, with an option for an additional five-year term. We leased 3,100 square feet of office space in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for use as executive offices under a month-to-month rental agreement until March 31, 2008. Effective March 1, 2008, we entered into a 38-month lease for 3,000 square feet of office space in Cherry Hill, New Jersey for use as executive office space. We vacated most of our warehouse space and storage units during 2007. We continue to be obligated under leases for an aggregate of approximately 14,000 square feet of warehouse space at five locations, including four locations that we no longer use. These leases expire at various times between 2008 and 2010. Following the sales of our ATM businesses in the United Kingdom and Canada and our United States photocopy business in January 2007, we have outsourced our service work and have substantially fewer employees and need less space. If we cannot renew any of the current leases we want to retain, we do not anticipate that we will have difficulty in leasing suitable replacement space.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
          We are a defendant in various actions that have arisen in the normal course of business. We believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
          No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 2007.

NASDAQ Delisting
          On September 12, 2007, we were notified by the NASDAQ that our common stock was subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Global Market because we were not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule because the bid price per share of our common stock closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. We were provided with 180 calendar days, or until March 10, 2007, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. However, we were not able to do so. On March 12, 2008, we announced that we had failed to comply with NASDAQ’s minimum bid price requirement and as a result, no longer met the requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market.
          We filed an election to transfer to the NASDAQ Capital Market. On March 19, 2007, we received a NASDAQ Staff Determination Letter denying our application to transfer our shares to the NASDAQ Capital Market due to our failure to demonstrate compliance with the NASDAQ Capital Market’s initial inclusion requirements (other than bid price) as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c). We received an additional NASDAQ Staff Determination Letter dated March 19, 2008, stating that our shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market as a result of our failure to satisfy the minimum stock price requirement of the NASDAQ Global Market as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a).
          NASDAQ’s staff notified us that, unless we requested an appeal of the delisting determination, NASDAQ would suspend trading of our common stock at the opening of business on March 28, 2008, and our common stock would subsequently be delisted. We have requested a hearing to appeal the Staff’s determination which will stay any delisting action pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel following the hearing. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Common Stock — The delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Global Market may result in impairment of the price at which our common stock trades and the liquidity of the market for it.”

Dividends
          We have not paid any dividends on our common stock, and we do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to fund our operations. Subject to our credit agreements discussed in the next paragraph, our Board of Directors will determine any changes in our dividend policy based upon its analysis of factors it deems relevant. We expect these factors will include our earnings, financial condition and cash requirements.
          Our ability to pay cash dividends on our common stock is subject to restrictions imposed by our credit agreements with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and the other lenders and the Lampe Facility, which prohibit us from paying cash dividends on our common stock without our lenders’ consent.

Overview
          During 2006 we operated ATM networks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany, and we operated photocopier networks in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. In June 2006 we sold our United Kingdom photocopy business. In January 2007 we sold our ATM businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada and our United States photocopy business. In June 2007 we sold our Canadian photocopy business. Our remaining business operates ATMs in the United States. During 2007 our United States ATM networks had an average of 10,253 transacting ATMs.
          In 2004 we had net income of $7.9 million. In 2005 we incurred a net loss of $8.9 million, in 2006 we incurred a net loss of $120.1 million and in 2007 we incurred a net loss of $8.4 million.
          We acquired eFunds Corporation’s ATM business in November 2004. As a result, our United States ATM net sales increased from $18.9 million in 2004 to $49.2 million in 2005. In 2006 our net sales decreased to $42.1 million, primarily as a result of attrition of ATM contracts acquired in the acquisition of eFunds Corporation’s ATM business. Principally because of decreases in our sales and operating margins, we reviewed the carrying value of substantially all of our long-lived assets, which resulted in our recording non-cash charges of $96.1 million for asset impairments. Also contributing to the increased losses in 2006 were increases in our cost of vault cash and interest expense and a loss on early extinguishment of debt.

17


 

          Subsequent to the end of fiscal year 2005, based upon our financial performance during the second half of 2005, we determined that we were in default under certain financial covenants contained in our credit facility administered by Bank of America. We entered into a forbearance agreement with the lenders with respect to that facility, and in June 2006 we refinanced our then-existing debt with a new credit facility with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP, Wells Fargo Foothill, and other lenders. However, our financial performance in the third quarter of 2006 caused us not to be in compliance with certain covenants in the new credit facility, and we entered into agreements with the lenders to restructure our loans. Under the modified agreements all but $25 million of our debt was due in the first quarter of 2007. Because of the new repayment terms, during January 2007 we sold our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our United States photocopier business, and used $98.5 million from the proceeds of those sales to make principal and interest payments under our financing agreements. These payments repaid all but $2.0 million of our principal and accrued interest under the credit facility. In connection with these sales, we have made various representations and warranties and/or provided indemnities. The purchasers may make claims against us relating to the representations or warranties or provisions for adjustment of the sale prices, and those claims could be substantial. Because we used substantially all of the net proceeds from the business sales to reduce our debt, we might not have sufficient cash to pay such claims without additional financing which may not be available to us. We have entered into a settlement agreement with the acquirer of our United Kingdom ATM business which relieves us from all warranties and/or indemnities under the purchase agreement. This settlement agreement and an agreement to pay eFunds Corporation $2.5 million are discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
          We expect to be able to refinance the outstanding balances under our financing agreement with GSO Origination Funding Partners and the other lenders and the $2.5 million liability due to eFunds Corporation, and we have begun initial efforts to do so. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so. If we are unable to refinance our debt or to get our lenders to agree to any further forbearance from calling our loans, we might be forced to seek protection of the courts through reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.
          ATM operations. We entered the ATM business in 1999, believing it to be a natural extension of our background in providing photocopiers to consumers in retail environments. From 1999 to 2005 we expanded our ATM networks to an average of 19,930 transacting ATMs in 2005. We grew our ATM business by acquiring ATMs or ATM networks, establishing new merchant relationships, expanding existing merchant relationships and displacing existing third-party operators as their contracts expired. As a result of the increasing size of our ATM networks, improved transaction pricing, our institution of a redeployment program for underperforming machines and favorable exchange rate movements, our ATM net sales increased from $34.5 million in 2003 to $50.5 million in 2004 and $90.5 million in 2005. In 2006, as a result of attrition of merchant contracts and limited capital available for expansion, our ATM net sales decreased to $81.7 million, including $39.6 million from our United Kingdom, German and Canadian ATM operations which we now report as discontinued operations. Since January 2007 we have operated ATMs only in the United States. Continued attrition of merchant contracts has resulted in a decrease in our United States ATM net sales to $33.7 million in 2007 from $42.1 million in 2006.
          ATM acquisitions. From the second half of 2003 through the end of 2005, we actively pursued acquisitions of ATM networks. We acquired a 20-ATM United States network in February 2004 from a company that continues to serve as a distributor for us. In June 2004, we entered the Canadian ATM market through our acquisition of Mighty Cash, which had 72 ATMs. We added 447 ATMs to our UK networks through our acquisition of Inkas Financial in March 2004, and added 350 ATMs to our UK networks by purchasing a portfolio of contracts in July 2004. In November 2004, we acquired the ATM business of eFunds, including ownership and/or management of approximately 14,000 ATMs in the United States and 1,700 ATMs in Canada. During the third quarter of 2005 we entered into agreements to acquire the ATM business of Travelex UK Limited in the United Kingdom. We subsequently determined that we would not complete this acquisition and that of one other ATM business that we had been evaluating, and previously capitalized external costs totaling $5.2 million relating to these acquisitions were charged to expense in the fourth quarter of 2005.
          Photocopier operations. Before we sold our United Kingdom photocopier business in June 2006, our United States photocopier business in January 2007 and our Canadian photocopier business in June 2007, our photocopier operations had been experiencing declining numbers of photocopies made per machine, from 24,144 in 2004 to 16,387 in 2006. We attribute this to increased competition from specialty full-service business centers, copy and print shops, photocopiers located at other convenient merchant locations and home photocopiers and printers. The number of photocopiers we had in service also decreased from an average of 25,239 during 2004 to an average of 20,289 during 2006 as we discontinued service at unprofitable or marginal locations. These trends, combined with the sale of our United Kingdom photocopy business, resulted in a decline of our photocopier net sales from $42.2 million in 2004 to $27.4 million in 2006. We now report all of our photocopier operations as discontinued operations.

          ATM sales. We derive most of our ATM sales from transaction-based sales. We also generate ATM sales from the sale of ATM equipment and third-party service sales. We describe these sources of sales below.
    Transaction-based sales — sales we derive from withdrawal fees and interchange fees.
    Withdrawal fees — fees we receive from a processor derived from a customer making an ATM withdrawal. Withdrawal fees are sometimes referred to as surcharge or convenience fees in the industry.
 
    Interchange fees — fees that an EFTN charges the customer’s financial institution for routing a withdrawal transaction or an account balance inquiry. The interchange fee is shared between the EFTN and us, as the ATM service provider, based on an agreement between us and the EFTN. Interchange fees apply on all transactions on ATMs that we own and ATMs owned by merchants and managed or serviced by us.
    Service and other sales — fees we charge for providing repair and maintenance and other services and parts and supplies to merchants who purchase or rent ATMs from us and to third-party ATM operators.
 
    Sales of ATM equipment — sales of ATM equipment to merchants in our merchant-owned program and to independent operators.

          Our United States ATM sales were $90.4 million for 2007 compared to $107.7 million for 2006. The $17.3 million decrease in ATM sales was due to a combination of a $14.9 million decrease in transaction-based sales, a $1.6 million decrease in sales of ATM equipment and an $853,000 decrease in service and other sales.
          The $17.3 million decrease in transaction-based sales resulted from attrition of merchant contracts in our ATM network. The average number of transacting ATMs in our network during 2007 decreased by 17.2% compared to 2006. The decrease in transacting ATMs is primarily a result of attrition in ATM contracts acquired from eFunds in 2004. See Item 1A — “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our ATM Business — If merchant-owned ATM customers terminate their relationships with us prior to the termination of their contracts or do not renew their contracts upon their expiration, it could reduce our ATM sales.”
          The average number of withdrawal transactions per ATM per month stayed almost constant in 2007 as compared to 2006. Average transaction-based sales per withdrawal increased by $.09, or 3.9%, due to increases in withdrawal fees.
Sales Discounts
          Our merchants receive fees from transactions generated by the ATMs on their premises. These fees, or sales discounts, represent a share of transaction fees. The amount of the discount depends on a variety of factors, including the type of arrangement under which we place the ATM with the merchant and the number of transactions at the ATM. Sales discounts in our United States ATM business were 67.9% of transaction-based sales in 2007 and 66.6% in 2006. The average discount per withdrawal transaction increased by $.09, matching the increase in transaction-based revenue per transaction.
Cost of Sales
          Cost of sales decreased by $608,000, but increased to 25.3% of gross sales in 2007, from 21.8% in 2006.
          Prior to the sale of our photocopy business, our field service employees maintained both our photocopy and ATM equipment. As a result of the sale of our United States photocopy business, we determined that it would be more economical to hire third parties to perform maintenance on our equipment and on merchant’s equipment where that is our responsibility. During the first and second quarters of 2007 we transitioned our ATM maintenance function from our own field service employees to third parties. During 2007, our expense for third party ATM service increased by $4.0 million as compared to 2006. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million in our cost of labor, parts and vehicle expense attributed to our United States ATM business. As of December 31, 2006, we had 129 field service employees in the United States doing maintenance on equipment for both our ATM and photocopy businesses. As of June 30, 2007, we had terminated all of our field service employees.
          Additionally, since we no longer have field service technicians on our staff, we are no longer using our inventory of parts and used ATMs in the normal course of business, and we have decided to sell or otherwise dispose of that inventory. As a result, cost of sales for 2007 includes a $270,000 charge to write down our inventories to their estimated net realizable value.
          The increases in ATM maintenance costs and inventory writedowns charged to cost of sales were offset by:
    A decrease in our cost of vault cash of $1.1 million or 16.7%, as compared to 2006. The number of ATMs for which we provide cash has decreased by 16.0% from December 2006 to December 2007.
 
    A decrease in armored car carrier costs of $356,000, or 10.8%, as compared to 2006. This decrease in expense is due primarily to the reduction in the number of ATMs for which we provide cash.
 
    A $1.4 million decrease in the cost of ATM machines sold due to the $1.6 million decrease in ATM sales as compared to 2006.
          In the past we have had crime insurance to reimburse us for losses that exceeded certain deductible levels. For the policy year beginning July 1, 2005, due to proposed increases in both the deductible level and the cost of the insurance, we began insuring only against catastrophic cash losses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense
          Selling, general and administrative expense attributed to continuing operations decreased by $14.1 million to $16.5 million in 2007 from $30.5 million in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of sales decreased to 18.2% in 2007 from 28.4% in the prior year. Specific decreases included:
    Amortization expense decreased by $3.8 million due to the reduction of the basis of our intangible assets as a result of impairment charges taken in the third quarter of 2006.
 
    Labor costs (excluding non-cash stock compensation expense) decreased by $4.7 million, or approximately 44%. In connection with and following the sales of businesses in January and June 2007 we have substantially reduced our selling, general and administrative staff, from 102 employees as of December 31, 2006, to 39 employees as of December 31, 2007.
 
    Non-cash stock compensation expense decreased by $543,000. In the second quarter of 2006, we recorded $618,000 of expense in connection with the acceleration of the vesting of options granted to our former President and Chief Executive Officer.
 
    Legal and accounting fees decreased by $1.7 million, or approximately 41%, due in large part to our smaller size and sale of substantially all of our foreign operations in the first half of 2007.
 
    Outsourced services expense decreased by $1.5 million due to a settlement agreement with eFunds Corporation reducing our obligation under a Master Services Agreement.
 
    Consulting fees decreased by $896,000. We did not renew a one-year consulting agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer who resigned in March 2006. In addition, we reduced our use of other consultants who provided strategic and information technology consulting during 2006.
 
    Depreciation expense decreased by $642,000 primarily because our Oracle ERP software became fully depreciated in early 2007.
 
    A $493,000 decrease in travel expense due to the reduction in employees and a continued effort to control travel expenses during 2007.
          No general corporate overhead expenses have been allocated to discontinued operations.
Impairment Charges
     During the third quarter of 2006 we recorded non-cash charges of $96.1 million for the impairment of certain assets in our ATM and photocopier segments, as follows:
    ATM goodwill. Because of continuing decreases in sales and operating margins in the ATM segments and other factors, we re-evaluated our financial forecasts in the third quarter of 2006 and concluded that it was necessary to review goodwill in our United States, Canadian and United Kingdom ATM segments for impairment of value. The review, consisting of a comparison of the carrying value of the goodwill to its implied fair value, resulted in impairment charges of $20.4 million in the United States, $5.8 million in Canada and $17.5 million in the United Kingdom. Our estimate of the implied fair value of the United States ATM segment’s goodwill was based on the quoted market price of our common stock and the discounted value of estimated future cash flows over a six-year period with residual value, using an 11% discount rate. Our estimate of the implied fair value of the Canadian and United Kingdom ATM segments’ goodwill was based on the estimated selling prices of those ATM segments. The $20.4 million impairment charge relating to our United States ATM operations is included in the results of our continuing operations, while the charges relating to our Canadian and United Kingdom ATM operations are included in discontinued operations.
 
    Finite-lived intangible assets associated with the ATM businesses. Because of faster than anticipated attrition of customer contracts, operating losses and revised financial forecasts, we concluded that it was necessary to review the carrying value of the long-lived assets of our United States, Canadian and United Kingdom ATM segments. In that review, we determined that the future cash flows from those assets were not adequate to recover those assets, and we recorded impairment charges of $22.9 million in the United

21


 

      States, $272,000 in Canada and $7.7 million in the United Kingdom, based on comparisons of the carrying amounts of the assets to their estimated fair values. Our estimate of the fair value of the United States assets was based on the discounted values of estimated future cash flows over a seven-year period using an 11% discount rate. Our estimates of the fair value of the Canadian and United Kingdom assets were based on the estimated selling price of those ATM segments. The $22.9 million impairment charge relating to our United States ATM operations is included in the results of our continuing operations, while the charges relating to our Canadian and United Kingdom ATM operations are included in discontinued operations.
 
    Photocopy equipment in the United States and Canada. Because of operating losses in our United States and Canadian photocopy segments and revised financial forecasts, we concluded that it was necessary to review the carrying value of those segments’ long-lived assets, which consist almost entirely of photocopy equipment. As a result, we determined that future cash flows from the photocopy segments were not adequate to recover the carrying value of that equipment, and we recorded impairment charges of $18.7 million in the United States and $2.7 million in Canada based on a comparison of the carrying amounts of these assets to their estimated fair values. Our estimates of the fair values of the asset groups were based on the estimated selling price of the United States photocopy segment and the discounted value of estimated future cash flows over a ten-year period using an 11% discount rate for the Canadian photocopy segment. Impairment charges relating to photocopy equipment are included in discontinued operations.
Restructuring Charges
          In connection with the corporate restructuring plan we announced in November 2006 and the subsequent sales of a substantial portion of our operations, we have made significant staff reductions, including termination by the end of May 2007 of substantially all of our United States field service employees. We have also vacated leased warehouse and office space occupied by the terminated employees. During the first six months of 2007 we paid severance of $167,000 to terminated employees. During the first six months of 2007 we vacated warehouse and office space in eleven United States locations. We leased the vacated space under leases with remaining terms up to seven years. We recorded a liability of $796,000 as of March 31, 2007, which was the estimated fair value of the costs that we expect to incur without any economic benefit, and we charged that amount to expense in the first quarter of 2007. We estimated the fair value of the liability based on the discounted value of the remaining lease payments, reduced by estimated sublease payments that we reasonably expect could be obtained for use of the properties.
          The costs for both severance payments and vacated leases are included in restructuring charges in our statement of operations for 2007.
Equipment Write-offs
          In the third quarter of 2007 contracts with three merchants that had TRM-owned ATMs in their stores were terminated, and we began removing those ATMs. In part because we no longer have technicians on our staff, we decided that we would not be refurbishing, upgrading and redeploying these ATMs, and we arranged to sell them to third parties. In addition, based on a review of our ATMs in storage, we decided that it would not be cost-effective to refurbish and upgrade most of our stored machines to current standards. As a result, in the third quarter of 2007 we charged $1.1 million to equipment write-offs to write down the equipment to be sold to its estimated net realizable value.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs
          Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs attributed to continuing operations increased to $464,000 in 2007 from $1,000 in 2006. The terms of our financing agreements required us to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the sales of businesses in June 2006 and January 2007 to pay debt. Accordingly, we have allocated interest on the lesser of the amount repaid or debt outstanding to discontinued operations. Interest and amortization of debt issuance costs were allocated between continuing operations and discontinued operations as follows (in thousands):
                 
    2006     2007  
Continuing operations
  $ 1     $ 464  
Discontinued operations
    12,974       1,289  
 
           
 
  $ 12,975     $ 1,753  
 
           
          The decrease in total interest and amortization of debt issue costs in 2007 was primarily due to decreased amounts owed on our credit facilities. Because the payments we made in January 2007 reduced the balance of our

22


 

outstanding debt under our credit facility with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and the other lenders to $2.0 million from $99.3 million at December 31, 2006, we expect our future interest expense to be substantially reduced from the 2005 and 2006 levels.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
          Loss on early extinguishment of debt for 2006 was $3.1 million. This loss resulted from writing off costs we had deferred in conjunction with refinancing our previous debt and payment of a prepayment penalty to our former lenders. The $4.8 million loss on early extinguishment of debt for 2007 resulted from writing off deferred financing costs of $4.1 million in connection with early payment of our term loans and line of credit and a $750,000 payment penalty accrued relating to the early termination of our vault cash arrangement.
Tax Rate
          For 2007 we did not allocate any tax provision to continuing operations. Our benefit for income taxes for 2006 was $5.2 million on a pretax loss from continuing operations of $58.8 million. The tax provision differs from the statutory rate due primarily to losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded. We did not record a tax benefit because we are uncertain that we will be able to realize the benefit of our net operating loss carryforwards and future deductible amounts. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
          On June 28, 2006, we sold all of the outstanding shares of TRM Copy Centres (U.K.) Limited, our United Kingdom photocopier subsidiary, to an unrelated third party for cash.
          In December 2006 we entered into agreements to sell substantially all of the assets of our United States photocopy segment and our Canadian ATM segment. The sale of the Canadian ATM business closed January 12, 2007. The sale of the United States photocopy business closed January 29, 2007.
          Effective January 24, 2007, we sold all of the shares of our United Kingdom ATM subsidiary that owned our ATM businesses in the United Kingdom and Germany.
          On June 19, 2007, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Canadian photocopy business.
          See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business Generally — We could be liable for sales price adjustments and warranty/indemnification claims relating to businesses we sold in 2006 and 2007,” for a discussion of possible sales price adjustments and warranty or indemnification claims including those relating to taxation matters.
          The operations of our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our United Kingdom, United States and Canadian photocopy business are shown as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our consolidated statements of operations.
          Our pretax income from discontinued operations was $5.4 million in 2007, compared to a pretax loss of $65.9 million in 2006. Discontinued operations for 2006 includes impairment charges relating to goodwill, finite-lived intangible assets and equipment totaling $52.8 million. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our discontinued operations.
Net Income (Loss)
          Our net loss decreased by $111.7 million, to $8.4 million in 2007 from $120.1 million in 2006. The major factors contributing to the decreased net loss were:
    Impairment charges of $96.1 million in 2006, of which $52.8 million is included in discontinued operations. We had no impairment charges in 2007.
 
    A $14.1 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, partially offset by a $7.8 million decrease in gross profit.
 
    Gains on sales of discontinued operations of $9.8 million in 2007, compared to $1.9 million in 2006.

Sales
          In 2006, consolidated sales from continuing operations decreased by $18.2 million, or 14.5%, to $107.7 million from $125.9 million in 2005.
          The $18.2 million decrease in ATM sales was due to a combination of a $16.4 million decrease in transaction-based sales and a $3.0 million decrease in service sales, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in sales of ATM equipment.
          The $16.4 million decrease in transaction-based sales resulted from attrition of merchant contracts in our ATM network. The average number of transacting ATMs in our network during 2006 decreased by 14.8% compared to 2005. The decrease in transacting ATMs is primarily a result of attrition in ATM contracts acquired from eFunds in 2004. See Item 1A — “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our ATM Business — If merchant-owned ATM customers terminate their relationships with us prior to the termination of their contracts or do not renew their contracts upon their expiration, it could reduce our ATM sales.”
          The average number of withdrawal transactions per ATM per month and average transaction-based sales per withdrawal stayed almost constant in 2006 as compared to 2005.
Sales Discounts
          Sales discounts in our United States business were almost constant in 2006 as compared to 2005: 66.6% of transaction-based sales in 2006 as compared to 66.8% in 2005.
Cost of Sales
          Cost of sales in our United States ATM business increased by $1.3 million to $23.5 million in 2006 from $22.2 million in 2005, due to a $1.2 million increase in the cost of our vault cash.

24


 

          We pay interest on the vault cash we use, and the interest rate is based on the rates the lender pays on asset-backed commercial paper notes used to fund the loans to us. During 2006 our average outstanding borrowings for vault cash were $79.3 million and we paid a weighted average interest rate of 6.81%. During 2005 our average outstanding borrowings for vault cash were $83.8 million and we paid a weighted average interest rate of 5.10%.
          An $846,000 decrease in third party service costs in 2006 compared to 2005 was offset by a $1.1 million increase in the cost of ATM machines sold.
          In the past we have had crime insurance to reimburse us for losses that exceeded certain deductible levels. For the policy year beginning July 1, 2005, due to proposed increases in both the deductible level and the cost of the insurance, we began insuring only against catastrophic cash losses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
          Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $833,000 to $30.5 million in 2006 from $31.4 million in 2005. However, selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of sales increased to 28.4% in 2006 from 24.9% in 2005. Specific decreases included:
    A $2.2 million decrease in amortization expense due to declining amortization of intangible assets relating primarily to ATM contracts acquired in 2004, and further reduction of amortization following third quarter 2006 impairment charges that reduced the basis of the intangible assets being amortized.
 
    A $609,000 decrease in labor-related expense. This decrease was caused by a decrease in sales and administrative employees in the United States from 126 at the end of 2005 to 102 at the end of 2006.
 
    An $834,000 decrease in travel expense due to a concerted effort to control travel expenses during 2006.
          These decreases were partially offset by:
    Legal, accounting and consulting expenses increased by $2.2 million, primarily relating to restructuring of debt, efforts to sell parts of our business and related complex legal and accounting issues.
 
    Non-cash stock compensation increased by $1.0 million, $685,000 of which was due to the modification of options previously granted to former executives.
          No general corporate overhead expenses have been allocated to discontinued operations.
Impairment Charges
          During the third quarter of 2006 we recorded non-cash charges of $96.1 million for the impairment of certain assets in our ATM and photocopier segments, which we discuss in “Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006 — Impairment Charges.” There were no such charges in 2005.
Abandoned Acquisition Costs
          We determined that it was unlikely that we would complete the acquisition of the ATM business of Travelex UK Limited and one other ATM business that we had been evaluating during 2005. As a result, we charged to expense in the fourth quarter of 2005 a total of $5.2 million of previously capitalized external costs relating to these potential acquisitions.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs
          Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs attributed to continuing operations decreased to $1,000 in 2006 from $1.9 million in 2005. The terms of our financing agreements required us to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the sales of businesses in June 2006 and January 2007 to pay debt. Accordingly, we have allocated interest on the lesser of the amount repaid or debt outstanding to discontinued operations. Interest and amortization of debt issuance costs were allocated between continuing operations and discontinued operations as follows (in thousands):

25


 

                 
    2005     2006  
Continuing operations
  $ 1,861     $ 1  
Discontinued operations
    8,357       12,974  
 
           
 
  $ 10,218     $ 12,975  
 
           
          The increase in total interest and amortization of debt issue costs in 2006 was primarily due to increased interest rates and loan fees on borrowings on our credit facilities.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
          Loss on early extinguishment of debt for 2006 was $3.1 million. This loss resulted from writing off costs we had deferred in conjunction with refinancing our previous debt and payment of a prepayment penalty to our former lenders. In 2005 we wrote off $513,000 of deferred financing costs in connection with the early payment of part of our term loan.
Other Income, Net
          Other income in 2005 includes a $1.3 million gain on sale of marketable equity securities and a $700,000 reimbursement from our directors and officers liability insurer. There were no other income or expense items in 2006 that were individually significant.
Tax Rate
          Our benefit for income taxes for 2006 was $5.2 million on a pretax loss from continuing operations of $58.8 million. The tax provision differs from the statutory rate due primarily to losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded. We did not record a tax benefit because we are uncertain that we will be able to realize the benefit of our net operating loss carryforwards and future deductible amounts. For 2005 our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 42.6%, resulting in a tax benefit of $4.4 million. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
          As discussed in “Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006 — Loss from Discontinued Operations,” we show the operations of our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our United Kingdom, United States and Canadian photocopy businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our consolidated statements of operations.
          Our pretax loss from discontinued operations was $65.9 million in 2006, compared to a pretax loss of $3.5 million in 2005. Discontinued operations for 2006 includes impairment charges relating to goodwill, finite-lived intangible assets and equipment totaling $52.8 million. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our discontinued operations.
Net Income (Loss)
          Our net loss increased by $111.2 million, to $120.1 million in 2006 from $8.9 million in 2005. The major factors contributing to the increased net loss were:
    Impairment charges of $96.1 million in 2006, of which $52.8 million is included in discontinued operations.
 
    An $8.4 million decrease in gross profits resulting from an $18.2 million decrease in sales from continuing operations.
 
    The $3.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt in 2006.
 
    A $2.8 million increase in interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs.
These increases were partially offset by $5.2 million of abandoned acquisition costs in 2005 that did not recur in 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
          We incurred a net loss of $120.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result of our financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2006, we failed to meet certain financial covenants of our financing agreements with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders. On November 20, 2006 we entered into amendments that restructured our loans and waived the failure to meet the loan covenants. Under the restructured loan agreements principal payments of $69.9 million were due in the first quarter of 2007. During January 2007 we sold our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our United States photocopy business and used $98.4 million from the proceeds of those sales to make principal and interest payments under these loans, leaving a remaining balance of principal plus accrued interest of $2.0 million. We are uncertain whether our remaining operations can generate sufficient cash to comply with the covenants of our restructured loan agreements and to pay our obligations on an ongoing basis. Because there are cross-default provisions in TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement and our Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with the Lampe Facility, if we fail to comply with the covenants of our restructured loan agreements and are declared to be in default by GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders, we may be declared in default of the provisions of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement under the Lampe Facility as well, and the lenders may be able to demand payment. These factors, among others, may indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We have received a report from McGladrey & Pullen, LLP regarding our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, which included an explanatory paragraph stating that the consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The report also stated that our uncertainty regarding our ability to meet our future obligations has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our obligations on an ongoing basis.
          Our principal ongoing funding requirements are for working capital to finance our operations, fund capital expenditures and pay obligations under settlement agreements with Notemachine Limited and eFunds Corporation.
          During 2007, we used $5.6 million of cash in operating activities as compared to $869,000 generated from operating activities in the same period in the prior year. Cash used in operating activities in 2007 includes $3.1 million transferred to restricted cash as collateral for letters of credit. We expect to terminate the remaining letter of credit in the second quarter of 2008 resulting in release of the cash collateral. During 2007 we received $101.5 million cash proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations, and we used $98.6 million of that cash to pay debt, reducing the balance of our syndicated debt to $2.1 million at the end of 2007.
          We had cash and cash equivalents of $3.9 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2006, and a net working capital deficit of $4.7 million at December 31, 2007 compared to a net working capital deficit of $2.6 million at December 31, 2006. The working capital deficits were partially caused by the classification of all of our debt facilities as current liabilities due to our loan covenant defaults. As of December 31, 2006, we classified all of the assets of the businesses sold in January 2007 as current assets, because the proceeds from those sales were required to be used to pay debt classified as a current liability. This debt was substantially repaid in January 2007. Subject to the matters discussed in the following paragraphs, we believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate for our currently anticipated needs.
          In December 2007, we entered into an agreement in principle with eFunds to terminate a Master Services Agreement originally scheduled to terminate in 2009. In connection with the termination of that agreement we agreed to pay eFunds $2.5 million to settle disputed charges under the agreement. The payment will become due upon execution of a mutually acceptable settlement and release agreement.
          In November 2007, we entered into a settlement agreement with Notemachine, Limited, relating to the sale to Notemachine of our United Kingdom and German ATM businesses in January 2007. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we agreed to repay £3,250,000 ($6.4 million using exchange rates as of December 31, 2007) in full and final settlement of claims by Notemachine relating to the sale. Payment terms under the settlement agreement were: £571,000 upon signing, £33,000 (interest only) in December 2007, £625,000 in January 2008, and 36 monthly payments of £71,212, including interest at 15% per annum, commencing February 1, 2008. The settlement agreement requires us to pay the remaining outstanding balance to Notemachine from the proceeds of any debt or equity financing, to the extent that proceeds are available following payment of any debt with prior or superior liens, including Term Loan B. We paid the November and December 2007 payments as scheduled, but paid only £250,000

27


 

in January. The remainder of the payment scheduled in January 2008 was paid in February 2008 with proceeds from the loan described in the following section.
          As of December 31, 2007, fewer than 50 of our owned ATMs in the United States were not compliant with EPP and Triple DES. We plan to upgrade these remaining machines when upgrade parts are received from the manufacturers. These ATMs continue to operate on a limited basis under extension agreements with a few networks. We estimate that these remaining machines will be upgraded by April 30, 2008, however, our ability to complete these upgrades depends on parts and labor vendors with which our influence may be limited. We estimate that costs associated with upgrading these remaining machines will not exceed $50,000. In our merchant portfolio, approximately 1,300 ATMs that failed to meet the Triple DES standards were disabled on January 1, 2008, however, we anticipate that some number of these merchants will ultimately contact us to upgrade their machines. Additionally, almost 600 merchant machines were operating on a limited basis under their extension agreements with a few networks. These remaining machines are awaiting upgrade parts; we anticipate that most of these machines will be upgraded by April 30, 2008.
Term Loan Facility
          In February 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd. and Lampe Conway & Co., LLC, serving as the administrative agent, pursuant to which we borrowed $1 million. £380,000 from the proceeds of the loan was used to pay the remainder of the January 2008 payment due to Notemachine, together with interest on the unpaid balance. The Lampe Facility loan bears interest equal to adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) plus (i) 5% for each interest period for which we pay interest in cash or (ii) 15% for each interest period for which we do not pay interest in cash. The Securities Purchase Agreement does not allow us to pay interest in cash until our Term Loan B has been paid in full. The Lampe Facility loan matures on the earliest of December 6, 2012 or immediately following our repayment of Term Loan B. We also granted a warrant to LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd., to purchase in the aggregate 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price initially equally to $0.40 per share, subject to adjustment for any recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends and stock splits. The warrant may be exercised at any time and expire on February 8, 2015. We have agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares issuable on the exercise of the warrant pursuant to a registration rights agreement between us and LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that restrict our activities and those of our subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on debt, liens, investments, dispositions and dividends. The Securities Purchase Agreement also contains events of default relating to customary matters, including payment and covenant defaults, cross defaults relating to other indebtedness and insolvency. Upon a default, LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd. can accelerate the maturity under the Lampe Facility, subject to a 180-day standstill with respect to any default or acceleration under the facility with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and the other lenders.
Syndicated Credit Facility
          As of September 30, 2006, our financial performance caused us to not be in compliance with certain covenants in our credit agreements pursuant to which we then owed $94.9 million. Our lenders had the right to seek to accelerate the loans under the operative loan documents, but they did not do so or exercise other remedies. Instead, on November 20, 2006, we entered into agreements under which they waived our defaults and agreed with us to restructure our loans. As restructured, the interest rates on our loans were increased. The increased interest cost was deferred and added to principal. In addition, the maturity dates of the loans were changed so that a total of $69.9 million was due on or before February 28, 2007. The financial covenants were modified to require achievement of certain levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other non cash expenses which we refer to as adjusted EBITDA, and to limit capital expenditures. For certain months during 2007, we were not in compliance with the adjusted EBITDA covenant. We have received waivers of the violations of our adjusted EBITDA covenant for all months through December 2007 for which we failed to comply. We also granted warrants to the holders of our Term Loan B to purchase 3.1 million shares of our common stock at a price of $1.3638 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of seven years following November 20, 2006. We agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants and to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC no later than May 18, 2007. However, we were unable to file the registration statement by May 18, 2007 because we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2006 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2007 late. We expected to enter into further agreements requiring registration of our securities, and did so in February 2008. We have not received any demands from the warrant holders to file the registration statement as of the date of this report. As soon as reasonably practicable, we plan to file a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the November 2006 warrants, shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant issued to LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd. and any other securities that we issue in the near future that require registration.

28


 

     Because the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the revised debt instruments were less than 10% different than the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instruments, we accounted for the restructuring of our loans as a modification of the previously outstanding debt. Accordingly, we charged to expense the legal fees we incurred and recorded the fair value of the warrants and loan fees as deferred financing costs.
     We estimated the total fair value of the warrants issued to the holders of Term Loan B to be $2.8 million using the Black-Scholes valuation model. We recorded the fair value of the warrants and $1.0 million of loan fees incurred from our lenders in connection with the restructuring of our loans in November 2006 as additional deferred financing costs. These costs, together with $2.8 million of previously unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the credit facility established in June 2006, aggregated $6.6 million. In connection with the early payment of most of our debt in January 2007, substantially all of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs was charged to expense as a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2007.
     Because we are uncertain whether we can comply with all of the terms of the restructured loan agreement, the balance of the loan has been classified as a current liability on our balance sheet.
     As discussed further in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements, during the first six months of 2007 we sold our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our United States and Canadian photocopy businesses and used $98.6 million from the proceeds of those sales to make principal and interest payments under our financing agreements with GSO Origination Funding Partners and other lenders. Following these payments, as of December 31, 2007, the only remaining balance under our term loans and line of credit was $2.1 million on our Term Loan B which is due in June 2012.
United States Vault Cash Facility
     General. In March 2000, we established a facility for funding the cash which is placed in our United States ATM equipment (which we refer to as “vault cash”). As of December 31, 2007, we had access to $100 million of vault cash under the facility of which $61.8 million was being used. The facility expires in 2012.
     Structure of the facility. The facility is based on the relationship between three primary companies. These companies are:
    TRM Inventory Funding Trust, or the Trust. The Trust is a Delaware business trust that was created pursuant to a deposit trust agreement between GSS Holdings, Inc. as depositor, Wilmington Trust Company as owner trustee, and TRM ATM Corporation as servicer. The majority equity holder in the Trust is Autobahn Funding Company, LLC, and the minority equity holder is GSS Holdings, Inc. Neither we, TRM ATM Corporation nor any of our other affiliates have any ownership interest in the Trust.
 
    TRM ATM Corporation, or TRM ATM. TRM ATM is one of our subsidiaries and acts as the servicer under the facility.
 
    Autobahn Funding Company, LLC, or Autobahn. Autobahn is an affiliate of DZ Bank AG, Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank Frankfurt am Main, which is the lender under the facility. Autobahn is independent of us, TRM ATM and our other affiliates.
     Operation of the facility. We obtain our vault cash under the facility pursuant to a Loan and Servicing Agreement. In accordance with that agreement, Autobahn raises funds by issuing asset-backed commercial paper. Autobahn then loans those funds to the Trust at an interest rate equal to the interest rate borne by the commercial paper plus 1.35%. The loaned funds are then deposited into an account from which, at the direction of TRM ATM acting as the servicer of the facility, they are disbursed to armored car carriers for transportation to our United States ATMs. The loaned funds are then available for withdrawal from the ATMs by the public. The cash at all times remains the property of the Trust, and the Trust is ultimately obligated to repay Autobahn.
     The Trust, as borrower under the facility, and TRM ATM, as servicer, use their cash from operations, which is principally derived from ATM withdrawal and interchange fees, to fund a settlement account from which, in combination with the vault cash, TRM ATM directs repayment of the loans to the Trust, the interest on the loans, a specified return on the equity investment made by the investors in the Trust and the fees described below.

29


 

     The Trust engages TRM ATM, as servicer, and other agents and contractors from time to time to perform all duties assigned under the Loan and Servicing Agreement.
     The Loan and Servicing Agreement contains covenants applicable to us, including a requirement to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $12 million.
     Collateral and credit enhancement. The Trust’s borrowings from Autobahn are collateralized by the assets of the Trust, principally the vault cash. In addition, where the vault cash is placed in an ATM, the Trust has a security interest in all of the fees and charges earned or received with respect to that ATM until those fees are distributed to TRM ATM.
     Autobahn is a party to a liquidity purchase agreement with other lenders, which ensures that the Trust continues to have funds available for the term of the agreement and that Autobahn will have the funds necessary to repay the commercial paper it issues. Each lender party to the agreement is required to have a credit rating at least as high as the credit rating of the commercial paper that Autobahn issues.
     Cost of the facility. The primary costs paid in connection with the facility are:
    Interest on the loaned funds. The loans bear interest at an interest rate equal to 1.35% plus the interest rate borne by the commercial paper that was issued to raise the funds for the loans. Interest for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $4.7 million.
 
    Return for equity investors. Autobahn and GSS Holdings, Inc., as equity investors in the Trust, receive a return on the value of their investments, which were $1,485,000 and $15,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2007. Autobahn’s annual return is equal to 1.35% plus the interest rate borne by the commercial paper that is outstanding. GSS Holdings’ annual return is equal to 25.0%.
 
    Fees. Autobahn receives a commitment fee and TRM ATM, as servicer, and the collateral agent each receive administrative fees in connection with the facility. Autobahn’s fees for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $150,000.
     Risk of loss and insurance. Any risk with regard to the Trust or the ability of the Trust to repay the Trust’s debt resides with the Trust and with GSS Holdings as the minority equity investor and with Autobahn as the majority equity investor. TRM ATM serves only as an administrator or servicer of the Trust.
     We maintained a letter of credit totaling $3.1 million as of December 31, 2007, to guarantee the performance of the servicer of the facility. The Trust’s subcontractors maintain insurance on behalf of the Trust so as to ensure the cash is safe while stored at correspondent banks, and during delivery to ATM equipment and to vault or bank storage facilities.
     Cross-default provision. In January 2007 we entered into an amendment to our United States vault cash agreement which, among other changes, extended the facility for five years and reduced the facility size to $100 million. Because there are cross-default provisions in TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement, if we fail to comply with the covenants of our restructured loan agreements and are declared to be in default by GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders, we may be declared in default of the provisions of the Loan and Servicing Agreement as well, and the lender may be able to demand payment. Therefore, the Trust’s debt is classified as a current liability and the vault cash is classified as a current asset on our consolidated balance sheet.
     In March 2008, we notified our current vault cash provider that we intend to terminate our current vault cash arrangement sometime during the second quarter of 2008. We have made arrangements with another provider of vault cash that we believe will provide vault cash for us at a lower cost. We do not anticipate that this change in vault cash providers will cause any significant interruption in our business. We have tested the new vault cash provider’s abilities in a small sample of our ATMs. This test created an exclusivity violation under our current agreement. Although we expect our current provider to cooperate in our transition to the new provider, they could declare us to be in default of TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement and demand repayment of our vault cash liability before we have finalized arrangements to replace that cash in our ATMs. If we terminate our current vault cash arrangement prior to its maturity in 2012 and repay the Trust’s borrowings, we will owe a prepayment fee of $750,000. However, we will be able to terminate the letter of credit guaranteeing our performance as servicer of the facility, and restricted cash of $2.7 million held by our bank as collateral for the letter of credit will become available for use in operations. We expect to pay the prepayment fee from the released restricted cash.

United Kingdom Vault Cash Facility
     Before its sale in January 2007, our United Kingdom ATM business obtained vault cash under an agreement with a local bank. Vault cash obtained under the program remained the property of the bank, and was not included on our balance sheet.
Canadian Vault Cash Facility
     Before its sale in January 2007, our Canadian ATM business obtained vault cash under an agreement with an armored car carrier that had a corresponding agreement with a local bank. As in our U.K. vault cash arrangement, the vault cash obtained under the Canadian program remained the property of the bank, and was not included on our balance sheet.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
     We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

     The long-term debt and TRM Inventory Funding Trust note payable are shown above in accordance with their contractual terms. However, because we believed it likely that our creditors would be able to demand payment of those debts during 2008, we classified them as current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.
     The above payments include interest where applicable, with interest on variable rate obligations assumed to remain constant at the rate in effect as of December 31, 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, sales, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to impairments, depreciation, intangible assets, accounts receivable, inventories, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     We have identified the following policies as critical to our business operations and to understanding the results of those operations.

31


 

     As of December 31, 2007, our assets include goodwill of $16.7 million and other intangible assets with a net carrying amount of $585,000. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, or SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” provides that goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized, but instead must be tested at least annually for impairment, and intangible assets that have finite useful lives should be amortized over their estimated useful lives. SFAS 142 also provides specific guidance for testing goodwill and other non-amortized intangible assets for impairment. SFAS 142 requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions in order to allocate goodwill to reporting units and to determine the fair value of a reporting unit’s net assets and liabilities, including, among other things, an assessment of market conditions, projected cash flows, interest rates, and growth rates, which could significantly impact the reported value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Furthermore, SFAS 142 exposes us to the possibility that changes in market conditions could result in potentially significant impairment charges in the future.
     We evaluate the recoverability of our goodwill by estimating the future discounted cash flows of the reporting unit to which the goodwill relates. We use discount rates corresponding to our cost of capital, risk adjusted as appropriate, to determine such discounted cash flows, and consider current and anticipated business trends, prospects, and other market and economic conditions when performing our evaluations. Such evaluations are performed at a minimum on an annual basis, or more frequently based on the occurrence of events that might indicate a potential impairment.
     We amortize finite-lived intangible assets over estimated useful lives of five to ten years. Acquired contracts, with a gross carrying amount of $479,000, are being amortized over ten years, primarily on an accelerated basis intended to reflect the cash flow patterns and duration used in estimating the value of those contracts. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of our intangible assets would result in additional amortization expense on a prospective basis.
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, or SFAS 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets such as equipment and purchased contract intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that our merchant contracts or equipment may be impaired, we evaluate the recoverability of the asset by measuring the related carrying amounts against the associated estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying values of the tangible or intangible assets being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying values of the tangible or intangible assets exceeded the calculated fair value.
     During 2006, we recorded impairment charges of $96.1 million which we discuss in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Impairment Charges”.
     We have established valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe we will realize. Because we are uncertain that we will be able to realize the benefit of our net operating loss carryforwards and future deductible amounts, we have established valuation allowances that reduced the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets to zero as of December 31, 2006 and 2007. If we determine that we will realize deferred tax assets in the future, we will increase (decrease) net income (loss) in the period in which we make the determination.
New Accounting Standards
     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FAS 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation became effective for us beginning in 2007. Our adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis for which delayed application is permitted until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We anticipate no material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows as a result of adopting this statement.

32


 

     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which allows companies the option to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for us beginning in 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on our financial statements.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement is effective for us beginning in 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on our financial statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and, until the sale of our foreign operations in January and June 2007, we had operations in the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada exposing us to foreign currency exchange rate risks. We do not hold or issue derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments for trading purposes. Since the sales of our United Kingdom, German and Canadian ATM operations, we have no further foreign operations. However, we have a liability denominated in British pounds, exposing us to foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
     We invest our cash in money market funds. The income earned from these money market funds is subject to changes in interest rates. Interest income was $187,000 for 2006 and $360,000 for 2007. A 10% change in interest rates earned would not have had a material effect on our net income.
     Interest on borrowings pursuant to our credit facility with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP is at variable rates. As of December 31, 2007, the interest rate on our $2.1 million term loan was 16.87%. If the interest rates on our borrowings under such syndicated loan facility as of December 31, 2007 increased by 1%, our interest cost would increase by $21,000 per year.
     Under our United States vault cash facility, the Trust borrows money pursuant to a note funded by the sale of commercial paper. The Trust owed $71.7 million at December 31, 2006 and $58.5 million at December 31, 2007 under this arrangement. The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings at December 31, 2007 was 7.40%. Interest and fees relating to the Trust’s borrowings, which are included in cost of sales in our consolidated financial statements, totaled $6.5 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. If the interest rate for the Trust’s borrowings at December 31, 2007 increased by 1%, to a weighted average of 8.40%, our cost of sales would increase by $585,000 per year.
     As a result of the sale of our United Kingdom and substantially all of our Canadian ATM operations, we no longer maintain vault cash facilities in those countries and do not have further interest rate risk thereunder.
Foreign Currency Risk
     As of December 31, 2007, we owed £2,679,000 ($5.3 million using exchange rates as of December 31, 2007) to the purchaser of our United Kingdom and German ATM businesses. If the value of the British pound were to fluctuate significantly from the December 31, 2007 exchange rate, our financial position would be affected. A 10% increase in the value of the British pound versus the United States dollar would increase our liability by $530,000. A 10% decrease in the value of the British pound versus the United States dollar would decrease our liability by $530,000. Since we pay interest at a rate of 15% per annum on this liability, our interest expense would also be affected by a fluctuation in the exchange rate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
TRM Corporation
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of TRM Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TRM Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses in 2006 and 2007 of approximately $120 million and $8 million, respectively. It is uncertain if 2008 operations will generate sufficient cash to enable the Company to comply with the covenants of the Company’s loan agreements and to pay its obligations on an ongoing basis. A default under the Company’s financing agreement with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP may render the debt callable and trigger the cross-default provision in TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of TRM Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
TRM Corporation
In our opinion, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, of shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TRM Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2006 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements (not separately presented herein), the Company incurred a net loss for 2006 resulting in its inability to meet certain financial covenants of its financing agreement with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders, and based on its projections the Company does not expect to meet the required financial covenants during 2007, which may render the debt callable by the lenders and trigger the cross-default provisions in TRM Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As noted in Note 11 to the financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company disposed of its Canadian photocopy business. The financial statements for the each of two years ended December 31, 2006 have been retrospectively restated to reflect the Canadian photocopy business as a discontinued operation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
     TRM Corporation (“we” or “TRM”) provide self-service cash delivery and account balance inquiry through ATM machines.
     As of December 2005 we offered ATM services in retail locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada and photocopier services in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.
     In June 2006 we sold our United Kingdom photocopy business. In January 2007 we sold our ATM businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada and our United States photocopy business. In June 2007 we sold our Canadian photocopy business. The results of the businesses we have sold are reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of operations. Our remaining business operates ATMs in the United States. We provide the equipment, maintenance, supplies and point of sale materials required for each of our installations, while the retailer oversees the daily operation of the equipment, provides the necessary floor space and shares in the revenue generated by our offerings. During 2007 our United States ATM networks had an average of 10,253 transacting ATMs.
     We incurred a net loss of $120.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result of our financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2006, we failed to meet certain financial covenants of our financing agreements with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders. On November 20, 2006, we entered into amendments that restructured our loans and waived the failure to meet the loan covenants. Under the restructured loan agreements principal payments of $69.9 million were due in the first quarter of 2007. During January 2007 we sold our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our United States photocopy business and used $98.4 million from the proceeds of those sales to make principal and interest payments under these loans, leaving a remaining balance of principal plus accrued interest of $2.0 million as of January 31, 2007. We are uncertain whether our remaining operations can generate sufficient cash to comply with the covenants of our restructured loan agreements and to pay our obligations on an ongoing basis. Because there are cross-default provisions in TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement under the Lampe Facility, if we fail to comply with the covenants of our restructured loan agreements and are declared to be in default by GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders, we may be declared in default of the provisions of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement under the Lampe Facility as well, and the lenders may be able to demand payment. Further, in March 2008, we notified our current vault cash provider that we intend to terminate our current vault cash arrangement sometime during the second quarter of 2008 and that we have made arrangements with another provider of vault cash that we believe will provide vault cash for us at a lower cost. We have used the new vault cash provider for a small test sample of our ATMs which is a violation of the covenants of the Loan and Servicing Agreement. Although we expect our current provider to cooperate in our transition to a new provider, they could declare us to be in default of TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement and demand repayment of our vault cash liability before we have finalized arrangements to replace that cash in our ATMs. These factors, among others, may indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our obligations on an ongoing basis.
     In connection with the sales of our ATM businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada, and our photocopy businesses in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada in 2006 and 2007, we have made various representations and warranties and/or provided indemnities. Further, the sales prices are subject to adjustment based on working capital amounts, the value of accounts receivable as of the closing of the sale or other factors. The purchasers may make claims against us relating to the representations or warranties or provisions for adjustment of the sales prices, and those claims could be substantial. The purchaser of our United Kingdom and German ATM businesses asserted claims pursuant to the sales agreement, and, in November 2007, we entered into a settlement agreement described further in Notes 6 and 11 pursuant to which we agreed to repay a portion of the purchase price.
     In November 2006 we announced the implementation of a corporate restructuring plan involving an initial reduction of then-existing controllable selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately 15%. Subsequent to that announcement, we have sold operations that accounted for approximately 61% of our net sales in 2006. In

40


 

connection with our restructuring plan and the sales of a substantial part of our operations, we have reduced our number of employees from 364 as of December 31, 2006 to 39 as of December 31, 2007.
     We expect to be able to refinance the outstanding balances under our financing agreement with GSO Origination Funding Partners and the other lenders and a $2.5 million liability due to eFunds Corporation described in Note 12, and we have begun initial efforts to do so. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so. If we are unable to refinance our debt or to get our lenders to agree to any further forbearance from calling our loans, we might be forced to seek protection of the courts through reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.
     Principles of Consolidation
          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TRM, its subsidiaries and TRM Inventory Funding Trust (see Note 3). Our subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 included TRM Copy Centers (USA) Corporation, TRM (Canada) Corporation, TRM ATM Corporation, TRM ATM Acquisition Corporation, Access Cash International LLC, and S-3 Corporation. We sold all of the outstanding shares of TRM Copy Centres (U.K.) Limited, our United Kingdom photocopier subsidiary, in June 2006. In January 2007 we sold all of the outstanding shares of TRM ATM (U.K.) Limited which owned TRM ATM Deutschland GmbH. These two companies operated ATMs in the United Kingdom and Germany. The results of operations of the subsidiaries that we have sold are included in our consolidated financial statements only through the dates of sale. Effective December 31, 2003, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,” and, accordingly, consolidate the accounts of TRM Inventory Funding Trust in our consolidated financial statements.
     All significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated. During 2005, 2006 and part of 2007 we had subsidiaries operating in Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany, whose functional currencies were the Canadian dollar, British pound and Euro. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations were translated into United States dollars at current exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts were translated into United States dollars at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into United States dollars were recorded directly to a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
     Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair market value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Fair value approximates the carrying value of our borrowings under our variable-rate long-term debt, based upon interest rates available for the same or similar instruments.
     Restricted Cash
     Cash owned by TRM Inventory Funding Trust and held in our United States ATM network is considered to be restricted cash because the cash is only available for use in our ATM network and is not otherwise available for our use. However, as described in Note 3, because of a potential default under the Loan and Servicing Agreement, the Trust’s debt is classified as a current liability and the Trust’s cash is classified as a current asset in our consolidated balance sheet.
     We have $3.1 million cash held by a bank as collateral for our letter of credit as of December 31, 2007 that is also classified as restricted cash on our balance sheet.
     Revenue Recognition, Discounts and Accounts Receivable
     A portion or all, depending upon the arrangement with the retail business, of each ATM surcharge is paid to the retail business. We receive daily reports of ATM transactions electronically from our ATM network processors. On a monthly basis, the ATM transaction data is used to calculate the retailer’s applicable discount, which is generally dependent upon transaction volumes, and we generally remit the discount directly to the retailer’s bank account through electronic funds transfer. We recognize ATM revenue based on the actual monthly transactions reported by the ATM processing network. Total sales activity and discount amounts are reported separately in the consolidated statements of operations to arrive at net sales.
     Accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $468,000 and $354,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

41


 

     Inventories
     During 2007 we began outsourcing our ATM maintenance and no longer use our parts inventory. Accordingly, we have written that inventory down to its estimated net realizable value.
     Long-Lived Assets
     We account for long-lived assets, primarily equipment and amortizable intangible assets, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which requires us to review the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that our merchant contracts or equipment may be impaired, we evaluate the recoverability of the asset by measuring the related carrying amounts against the associated estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying values of the tangible or intangible assets being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying values of the tangible or intangible assets exceeded the calculated fair value.
     Equipment
     Equipment is recorded at cost plus amounts required to place equipment in service. Depreciation begins when the asset is placed in service. ATMs, furniture and fixtures and computer equipment are generally depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
     
ATMs
  3-10 years
Oracle ERP system
  7 years
Computer equipment
  2-5 years
Furniture and fixtures
  5-7 years
     Goodwill
     As of December 31, 2007, we have goodwill with a carrying amount of $16.7 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we test goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the goodwill and its computed fair value.
     Investment in marketable equity securities
     Our investment in a marketable equity security was classified as available-for-sale and was reported in other assets as of December 31, 2004 at a fair value of $8.3 million. Unrealized gains and losses were excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss). During 2005 we sold this security for $9.6 million and realized a gain of $1.3 million.
     Other expense (income), net
     Other expense (income), net for 2005 includes a $1.3 million gain on the sale of marketable equity securities, a $700,000 settlement from our directors’ and officers’ liability insurer and $197,000 of interest income. These amounts were partially offset by $233,000 in foreign exchange losses.
     Income Taxes
     We account for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and measure them by applying enacted tax rates and laws to the taxable years in which such differences are expected to reverse.

42


 

     Stock-Based Compensation
     Prior to 2006 we applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and the related interpretations in accounting for stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, we recognized no compensation expense for our stock-based compensation plans in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for 2005.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” an amendment of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based payments using APB No. 25, and instead requires companies to recognize compensation expense using a fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including stock options and employee stock purchase plans. The expense is measured as the fair value of the award at its grant date based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest, and recorded over the applicable service period. In the absence of an observable market price for a share-based award, the fair value is based upon a valuation methodology that takes into consideration various factors, including the exercise price of the award, the expected term of the award, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the underlying share price, the expected dividends on the underlying shares and the risk-free interest rate. The requirements of SFAS 123R became effective for our first quarter beginning January 1, 2006 and apply to all awards granted, modified or cancelled after that date, and to the portion of previously granted awards that had not vested by the adoption date. We adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 on a prospective basis using the modified prospective transition method. SFAS 123R requires that stock-based compensation expense be based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. We have recognized compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Because the majority of our previously granted stock options had vested prior to the end of 2005 and only 65,000 options were issued during 2006, the effect of adopting SFAS 123R on our results of operations, loss per share and cash flow for 2006 was not material.
     The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings per share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” during 2005 (in thousands, except per share data):
         
    2005  
Net loss, as reported
  $ (8,871 )
Deduct total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effect
    (1,484 )
 
     
Pro forma net loss
  $ (10,355 )
 
     
 
       
Basic and diluted net loss per share:
       
As reported
  $ (.62 )
Pro forma
    (.72 )
     Net Income (Loss) Per Share
     Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if convertible preferred shares outstanding at the beginning of each year were converted at those dates with related interest, preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options and warrants for which the market price exceeds exercise price, less shares which we could have purchased with related proceeds. All outstanding options, warrants and outstanding shares of preferred stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for 2005, 2006 and 2007 because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
     Use of Estimates
     The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, sales, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to impairments, depreciation, intangible assets, accounts receivable, inventories, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not

43


 

readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     New Accounting Standards
     In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FAS 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation became effective for us beginning in 2007. Our adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis for which delayed application is permitted until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We anticipate no material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows as a result of adopting this statement.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which allows companies the option to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for us beginning in 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on our financial statements.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement is effective for us beginning in 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on our financial statements.
     Financial Statement Reclassifications
     Certain financial statement reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. These changes had no impact on total assets, total liabilities, shareholders’ equity or net loss. As discussed in Note 11 we have reclassified the results of operations of our Canadian photocopier operations to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

3. Vault Cash
     On March 14, 2000, a Deposit Trust Agreement (“Agreement”) was entered into between GSS Holdings, Inc. as Depositor, Wilmington Trust Company as Owner Trustee, and TRM ATM Corporation (“Servicer”) as

44


 

Administrator. By virtue of the Agreement, TRM Inventory Funding Trust (the “Trust”) was created. Neither Servicer, TRM nor any affiliates have any ownership interest in the Trust. Any risk with regard to the Trust or the ability of the Trust to repay the Trust’s debt resides with the Trust and with GSS Holdings as the Depositor (equity investor in the amount of $15,000 as of December 31, 2007), and with Autobahn Funding Company LLC (“Lender” and equity investor in the amount of $1,485,000 as of December 31, 2007), rather than with Servicer, which merely serves as an administrator and servicer of the Trust. Autobahn Funding Company LLC is related to DZ Bank AG, Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank Frankfurt am Main (“DZ Bank”) and is independent of the Servicer and us. The purpose of the Trust is to provide cash to be placed in our United States ATM machines (“vault cash”), by accessing commercial paper markets.
     The Trust borrows from and makes repayments to the Lender and makes other payments pursuant to a Loan and Servicing Agreement, and engages the Servicer and other agents and contractors from time to time to perform all duties assigned under the Loan and Servicing Agreement. Borrowings from the Lender are collateralized by the assets of the Trust, principally the vault cash. The Lender issues asset-backed commercial paper notes to fund the loans to the Trust. Interest on the Trust’s borrowings from the Lender, which are evidenced by a note, is at a rate equal to 1.35% plus the interest rate of the commercial paper notes that the Lender issues to fund the loans to the Trust. The Trust also pays to the Lender an amount equal to the Lender’s equity investment in the Trust times 1.35% plus the yield rate of the commercial paper notes outstanding. The Loan and Servicing Agreement contains covenants applicable to us, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement. We entered into an amendment to that agreement in November 2007, which reset the minimum net worth covenant to $12 million. In January 2007 we entered into an amendment which, among other changes, extended the facility for five years and reduced the facility size to $100 million. A liquidity agreement with DZ Bank ensures that the Trust continues to have funds available for the term of the agreement.
     When the vault cash is placed in the ATM, the Trust has a security interest in all of the fees and charges earned or received in connection with all revenue generating transactions initiated at the ATMs. The cash at all times remains the property of the Trust, and the Trust is ultimately obligated to repay the Lender. We maintain letters of credit totaling $3.1 million at December 31, 2007 to guarantee the performance of the Servicer. Subcontractors maintain insurance on behalf of the Trust to ensure the cash is safe while stored at correspondent banks, and during delivery to ATM machines and to the vault or bank storage facilities.
     Because we are the primary beneficiary of the Trust, the accounts of the Trust have been included in our consolidated financial statements. The Trust’s vault cash, amounting to $61.8 million at December 31, 2007 ($73.7 million at December 31, 2006) is reported as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and the balance of the Trust’s note payable to the Lender, which totaled $58.5 million at December 31, 2007 ($71.7 million at December 31, 2006), is reported as a liability. The Loan and Servicing Agreement matures in 2012. However, as discussed further in Notes 1 and 6, we are uncertain whether we can comply with all of the terms of our primary financing agreement. Since the lender has asserted that there are cross-default provisions in TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement, if we fail to comply with the terms of our financing agreement we may be in default of the provisions of the Loan and Servicing Agreement as well. We have also violated certain exclusivity provisions in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, and the lender may be able to demand payment. Therefore, the Trust’s debt is classified as a current liability and the vault cash is classified as a current asset.
     The expenses of the Trust, which are primarily interest and fees related to the Trust’s borrowings and bank charges, were $5,830,000 in 2005, $6,711,000 in 2006 and $5,670,000 in 2007 and are included in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of operations.
     The Lender issues commercial paper notes with maturities of not more than 270 days. The outstanding commercial paper on December 31, 2007 matured January 2, 2008. Interest rates on the outstanding commercial paper notes ranged from 2.3% to 4.4% during 2005, 4.3% to 5.4% during 2006 and 5.1% to 6.7% during 2007.
     Selected information on the Trust’s borrowings for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 is as follows:
                         
    2005   2006   2007

     In March 2008, we notified our current vault cash provider that we intend to terminate our current vault cash arrangement sometime during the second quarter of 2008. We have made arrangements with another provider of vault cash that we believe will provide vault cash for us at a lower cost. We do not anticipate that this change in vault cash providers will cause any significant interruption in our business. However, we have only used the new vault cash provider for a small test sample of our ATMs. Further, use of another vault cash provider’s cash in a test sample of our ATMs is a violation of our current agreement. Although we expect our current provider to cooperate in our transition to a new provider, they could declare us to be in default of TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement and demand repayment of our vault cash liability before we have finalized arrangements to replace that cash in our ATMs. If we terminate our current vault cash arrangement prior to its maturity in 2012 and repay the Trust’s borrowings, we will owe a prepayment fee of $750,000. We have accrued the prepayment fee and included it in our 2007 loss on early extinguishment of debt as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2007 when we violated the exclusivity covenant of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and the lender could demand early repayment.
     Before its sale in January 2007, our United Kingdom ATM business obtained vault cash under an agreement with a local bank. Vault cash obtained under the program remained the property of the bank.
     Before its sale in January 2007, our Canadian ATM business obtained vault cash under an agreement with an armored car carrier that has a corresponding agreement with a local bank. As in our United Kingdom vault cash arrangement, the vault cash obtained under the Canadian program remained the property of the bank.

     The weighted average interest rate on the term loans as of December 31, 2006 was 13.52%, and the interest rate on borrowings under the line of credit was 14.25%. As of December 31, 2007, the interest rate on the term loan was 16.87%.
     In June 2006, we established a credit facility which we used to refinance our then-existing term loan and lines of credit. In connection with the repayment of our term loan and lines of credit, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3.5 million of which $372,000 is included in discontinued operations. This loss resulted from writing off costs of $2.6 million we had deferred in conjunction with that debt and payment of a prepayment penalty of $860,000 to our former lenders. The new facility consisted of three related agreements:
    a $45.5 million credit agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) with GSO Origination Funding Partners LP (the “GSO Fund”), certain other lenders and Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., serving as administrative agent, revolving lender, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer (“WFF”);
 
    a $40 million second lien loan agreement with the GSO Fund, certain other lenders and WFF (the “Second Loan Agreement” and, together with the First Lien Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”); and
 
    a £12.9 million (approximately $25.5 million based on exchange rates as of December 31, 2006) facility agreement between our wholly-owned subsidiary, TRM (ATM) Limited and GSO Luxembourg Onshore Funding SarL (“GSO Lux”) as the original lender, facility agent and security agent (the “UK Facility Agreement”).
     The First Lien Credit Agreement consisted of a $30.5 million term loan facility and $15 million of revolving commitments. There was a letter of credit sublimit of $6.0 million under the revolving loan commitment. The Second Loan Agreement consisted of a $40 million term loan.
     Outstanding balances under the three agreements as of December 31, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):
         
First Lien Credit Agreement including $6,510 borrowing on line of credit
  $ 32,762  
Second Loan Agreement
    40,908  
UK Facility Agreement
    25,648  
 
     
 
  $ 99,318  
 
     
     Prior to the restructuring discussed below, under the First Lien Credit Agreement, both the revolving loans and the term loan bore interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.0% while, under the Second Loan Agreement, the term loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 7.0%. Interest on all loans was payable quarterly. Under

47


 

the First Lien Credit Agreement, we were required to pay quarterly installments of principal of $65,000, with the remaining unpaid principal due at maturity. Under the Second Loan Agreement, we were required to pay the entire principal balance at maturity. The revolving and term loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement were scheduled to mature on June 6, 2011. The term loan under the Second Loan Agreement was scheduled to mature on June 6, 2012.
     The UK Facility Agreement consisted of a £12.9 million term loan. Prior to restructuring, discussed below, the loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 4.0% plus an amount intended to compensate GSO Lux for reserve requirements at the Bank of England or the European Central Bank with respect to the loan.
     Affirmative covenants in the syndicated loan agreements included requirements to: achieve certain levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non cash expenses (“EBITDA”); maintain certain financial ratios related to funded debt, total debt and fixed charge coverage to earnings before taxes, depreciation, amortization and non cash expenses; and limit capital expenditures.
     As of September 30, 2006, our financial performance caused us to not be in compliance with three of the covenants in the Credit Agreements and the UK Facility Agreement: the minimum amount of consolidated EBITDA (annualized), the consolidated leverage ratio and the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. Our lenders had the right to seek to accelerate the loan under the operative loan documents, but they did not do so or exercise other remedies. Instead, on November 20, 2006, we entered into agreements under which they waived our defaults and agreed with us to restructure our loans. As restructured, the interest rates on our loans were increased. The increased interest cost was deferred and added to principal. In addition, the maturity dates of the loans were changed so that a total of $69.9 million was due on or before February 28, 2007. The financial covenants were modified to require achievement of certain levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash expenses (“adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted monthly, and to limit capital expenditures. We did not comply with the adjusted EBITDA covenant for the months of December 2006 through October 2007. However, our lenders have granted waivers of our violation of the adjusted EBITDA covenant for those months. The terms of the Second Loan Agreement require that we maintain our common stock’s listing on the NASDAQ Global Market. We received a notice from NASDAQ that our common stock would be suspended from trading on the NASDAQ Global Market as of the opening of business on March 28, 2008 and would be subsequently delisted as a result of our failure to comply with NASDAQ’s Minimum Bid Price Rule unless we request an appeal of the staff’s determination. We have requested a hearing to appeal the staff’s determination.
     We also granted warrants to the holders of Term Loan B to purchase 3.1 million shares of our common stock at a price equal to a 5% premium above the weighted average price of our common stock for the seven trading days following November 20, 2006. Based on that formula, the exercise price of the warrants was set at $1.3638 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of seven years following November 20, 2006. We agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants and to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC no later than May 18, 2007. However, we were unable to file the registration statement by May 18, 2007 because we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2006 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2007 late. We expected to enter into further agreements requiring registration of our securities, and did so in February 2008. As soon as reasonably possible, we plan to file a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the November 2006 warrants, shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued in February 2008 to LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd. and any other securities that we issue in the near future that require registration. Under the terms of the registration rights agreement, the warrant holders can seek damages due to our inability to file the registration statement. We have not received any demands from the warrant holders to file the registration statement as of the date of this report; we plan to file the registration statement as soon as reasonably practicable. Because the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the revised debt instruments were less than 10% different than the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instruments, we accounted for the restructuring of our loans as a modification of the previously outstanding debt. Accordingly, we charged to expense the legal fees we incurred and recorded the fair value of the warrants and loan fees as deferred financing costs.
     We estimated the total fair value of the warrants issued to the holders of Term Loan B to be $2.8 million using the Black-Scholes valuation model. We recorded the fair value of the warrants and $1.0 million of loan fees incurred from our lenders in connection with the restructuring of our loans in November 2006 as additional deferred financing costs. These costs, together with $2.8 million of previously unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the credit facility established in June 2006, aggregated $6.6 million. In connection with the early payment of most of our debt in January 2007, substantially all of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs were charged to expense as a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2007.

48


 

     As discussed further in Note 11, during the first six months of 2007 we sold our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our United States and Canadian photocopy business and used $98.6 million from the proceeds of those sales to make principal and interest payments under our financing agreements with GSO Origination Funding Partners and other lenders. These payments repaid all of our liability under the First Lien Credit Agreement, the UK Facility Agreement and Term Loan A and most of Term Loan B. Following these payments, as of December 31, 2007, the only remaining balance under our term loans and line of credit was $2.1 million on our Term Loan B which is due in June 2012.
     The borrowings pursuant to Term Loan B are collateralized by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, and by a pledge of the stock of our United States subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries.
     Because we are uncertain whether we can comply with all of the terms of the restructured loan, the entire balance of the loan has been classified as a current liability on our balance sheet.
     Vault Cash Agreement
     Because there are cross-default provisions in TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement, if we fail to comply with the covenants of our restructured loan agreements and are declared to be in default by GSO Origination Funding Partners LP and other lenders, we may be declared in default of the provisions of the Loan and Servicing Agreement as well, and the lender may be able to demand payment. Therefore, the Trust’s debt is classified as a current liability and the vault cash is classified as a current asset on our consolidated balance sheet.
     Settlement Agreement
     In November 2007, we entered into a settlement agreement with Notemachine Limited, relating to the sale to Notemachine of our United Kingdom and German ATM businesses in January 2007. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we agreed to repay £3,250,000 ($6.4 million using exchange rates as of December 31, 2007) in full and final settlement of claims by Notemachine relating to the sale. Payment terms under the settlement agreement were: £571,000 upon signing, £33,000 (interest only) in December 2007, £625,000 in January 2008, and 36 monthly payments of £71,212, including interest at 15% per annum, commencing February 1, 2008. The settlement agreement requires us to pay the remaining outstanding balance to Notemachine from the proceeds of any debt or equity financing, to the extent that proceeds are available following payment of any debt with prior or superior liens, including Term Loan B.
     We paid the November and December 2007 payments as scheduled, but paid only £250,000 in January. The remainder of the payment scheduled in January 2008 was paid in February 2008 with proceeds from the bridge loan described in the following paragraphs.
     Bridge Loan
     In February 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd., as lender and Lampe Conway & Co., LLC, as administrative agent, pursuant to which we borrowed $1 million. £380,000 from the proceeds of the loan was used to pay the remainder of the January 2008 payment due to Notemachine, together with interest on the unpaid balance. The loan bears interest equal to adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) plus (i) 5% for each interest period for which we pay interest in cash or (ii) 15% for each interest period for which we do not pay interest in cash. The Securities Purchase Agreement does not allow us to pay interest in cash until our Term Loan B has been paid in full. The loan matures on the earliest of December 6, 2012 or immediately following our repayment of Term Loan B.
     In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, we granted a warrant to LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd., to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price initially equal to $.40 per share, subject to adjustment for any recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends and stock splits. The warrants are exercisable at any time and expire on February 8, 2015. We have agreed to register the shares subject to the warrants.

     We have established a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe we will realize. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, during 2006 we determined that we may not realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, and, accordingly, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. If we determine that we will realize deferred tax assets in the future, we will increase income in the period in which we make the determination.

Statutory federal rate
    34.0 %     34.0 %     34.0 %

    42.6 %     8.8 %     %
 
                       
     Non-deductible expenses primarily consist of differences between expense for stock-based compensation and the deduction for stock-based compensation for United States tax purposes, 50% of meals and entertainment that are not deductible for United States tax purposes and certain intercompany interest amounts.
     As of December 31, 2007, we have net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $39 million available to offset future taxable income for United States federal income tax purposes which expire in the years 2020 through 2027. The tax benefit of net operating losses of approximately $145,000, relating to the benefit of options exercised, when and if realized, will be credited directly to common stock. Utilization of our United States net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to certain limitations in the event of a change in control of the Company. Our United States federal income tax returns for the years 2004-2007 are subject to examination and adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service.
     As of December 31, 2007, our Canadian subsidiary has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15 million available to offset future taxable income in Canada which expire in the years 2009 through 2017. However, we have sold the assets of our Canadian subsidiary, and it no longer has any operations.
8. Shareholders’ Equity
     Preferred Stock
     On June 24, 1998, we issued and sold 1,777,778 Series A Preferred Shares and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $19.8 million. Warrants to purchase 54,000 shares were exercised in 2005, and the remaining warrants expired unexercised.
     Each share of Series A Preferred stock was convertible at any time at the option of the holder into 0.7499997 of a share of common stock. In addition, each share of preferred stock was to be automatically converted into 0.7499997 shares of common stock if the price of common stock was at least $20.00 for a period of 90 consecutive days. On March 5, 2005, this condition was satisfied. As a result, as of that date, each share of our Series A preferred stock was converted into 0.7499997 of a share of our common stock, leaving no Series A preferred stock remaining issued and outstanding.
     Repurchase of Common Stock
     In the fourth quarter of 2005 we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock for up to $20.0 million. No shares were repurchased in 2006 or 2007. Any such repurchases would require approval from our lenders.
     Issuance of Common Stock
     During the fourth quarter of 2005, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement under which we sold 2,778,000 unregistered shares of common stock for $14.54 per share. The sales proceeds, net of placement agent fees and other costs, were $38.2 million. We filed a resale registration statement with respect to shares issued in the transaction. The registration statement was declared effective on December 29, 2005.

     Common Stock Warrants
     On November 20, 2006, we granted to the holders of our Term B loan warrants to purchase 3,072,074 shares of common stock at $1.3638 per share. These warrants expire in November 2013 (see Note 6).
     In February 2008, we granted a lender a warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price initially equal to $.40 per share. This warrant expires on February 8, 2015 (see Note 6).
     Common Stock Options and Restricted Stock Grants
     Non-cash stock compensation expense for 2006 and 2007 is included primarily in selling, general and administrative expense and includes amortization of stock options granted during 2006 and 2007 and previously unvested stock option grants and amortization of restricted shares of common stock granted to our directors and certain executive officers. During 2006 we accelerated the vesting of certain options granted to our former President and Chief Executive Officer and our former Executive Vice President. We recorded non-cash compensation expense of $685,000 in connection with these modifications during 2006.

     We have reserved 3,700,000 shares of common stock for issuance under our stock incentive plans. Under our plans we are authorized to issue incentive and nonqualified stock options and restricted shares of common stock. All options terminate no more than ten years from the date of grant and vest over various schedules ranging up to five years. We issue new shares upon exercise of options.

     During the year ended December 31, 2006, options to purchase 306,890 common shares at prices from $1.15 to $6.50 were exercised, including options to purchase 285,140 shares that were exercised on a cashless basis as allowed under the Company’s Omnibus Stock Option Plan. As a result of the exercise of options during 2006, we issued 234,832 common shares. During the year ended December 31, 2007, options to purchase 20,375 common shares at prices from $1.15 to $1.80 were exercised, including options to purchase 4,375 shares that were exercised on a cashless basis. As a result of the exercise of options during 2007, we issued 17,718 common shares.
     As of December 31, 2007, options to acquire 213,292 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $5.51 per share were exercisable. As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock award plans that are expected to vest. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.
     We did not grant any options during 2005. The weighted-average per share grant date fair value of options granted during 2006 and 2007 was $2.43 and $.89, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2005, 2006 and 2007 was $1.7 million, $1.6 million and $30,000, respectively.

9. Profit Sharing Retirement Plan
     We have a profit sharing retirement plan for eligible employees. The plan has profit sharing and 401(k) components. Our contribution under the profit sharing portion of the plan is discretionary. Under the 401(k) part of the plan, each employee may contribute, on a pre-tax basis, up to the maximum allowed under the Internal Revenue Code.
     No amounts were accrued or paid for profit sharing for 2005, 2006 and 2007. We paid matching contributions of $120,000, $129,000 and $65,000 to our defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007, respectively.
10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
     We have operating leases, primarily for office and warehouse space, with expiration dates through 2010. Minimum lease payments for our operating leases are: 2008 — $361,000; 2009 - $352,000; and 2010 — $105,000.
     Rental expense included in continuing operations for 2005, 2006 and 2007 was $552,000, $441,000, and $296,000, respectively.
     As of December 31, 2007, Wells Fargo Foothill Inc. had issued a letter of credit on our behalf in the amount of $3.1 million to secure our performance in connection with our vault cash agreement.

     We guaranteed certain equipment lease payments for TRM Copy Centres (UK) Ltd. when that company was our subsidiary. In June 2006 we sold all of the outstanding shares of that subsidiary to an unrelated third party. In October 2007 (the most recent date for which we have information from the lessor) the remaining balance payable under the leases we guarantee was £331,000 (approximately $655,000 using exchange rates as of December 31, 2007).
11. Discontinued Operations and Sales of Businesses
     During 2006 and 2007 we sold all of our photocopy operations and all of our ATM operations outside the United States. As a result, the operations of our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our Canadian, United Kingdom and United States photocopy businesses are shown as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations for all periods presented.
     In June 2006 we sold all of the outstanding shares of our United Kingdom photocopier subsidiary for £2.32 million (approximately $4.3 million using exchange rates as of the date of sale). We recorded a gain on the sale of $1.9 million, including recognition in income of foreign currency translation adjustments of $1.5 million that had previously been recorded in other comprehensive income.
     Effective January 1, 2007, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Canadian ATM business for approximately Canadian $13.0 million (U.S. $11.1 million using exchange rates as of January 12, 2007). We have recorded a gain on the sale of $2.3 million.
     Effective January 24, 2007, we sold all of the shares of our United Kingdom ATM subsidiary that owned our ATM businesses in the United Kingdom and Germany for approximately £43.2 million (approximately $84.7 million using exchange rates as of January 24, 2007), subject to certain adjustments. In November 2007 we entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which we agreed to repay £3,250,000 as a final settlement of all claims under the sale and purchase agreement. In December 2007 we paid £571,000 of this liability. Payment terms for the remaining £2.7 million are described in Note 6. After taking into account the settlement agreement, we have recorded a gain on the sale of $4.8 million.
     On January 29, 2007, we sold substantially all of the assets of our United States photocopy business for approximately $8.8 million. We have recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $65,000.
     On June 19, 2007, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Canadian photocopy business for approximately Canadian $615,000 (approximately U.S. $582,000 using exchange rates as of June 19, 2007) in cash and assumption of liabilities, plus 50% of the cash flows from the operation of the business for seven years. We recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $2.7 million, substantially all due to recognition of currency exchange gains previously recorded in other comprehensive income.
     In connection with these sales, we made various representations and warranties and/or provided indemnities. The purchasers may make (and, in the case of the sale of United Kingdom ATM subsidiary, have made) claims against us relating to the representations, warranties or indemnities. Other than the purchaser of our former United Kingdom ATM subsidiary referred to above, none of the purchasers are pursuing claims against us.
     The aggregate of the sales prices for the businesses we sold in the first six months of 2007 was approximately $105 million, before selling costs. We used $98.6 million of the net cash proceeds of $102.4 million to make principal and interest payments on our debt. The balance was used to fund escrow deposits and deposits with our bank to collateralize outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2007, $3.1 million was held by our bank as collateral for outstanding letters of credit, and is reported as restricted cash on our balance sheet.
     Because the terms of our financing agreements required us to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the sales of businesses to pay debt, we have allocated interest expense to discontinued operations based upon the lesser of the amount repaid or debt outstanding. No general corporate overhead has been allocated to discontinued operations.

     Subsequent to the sales of our United States photocopy and Canadian photocopy and ATM businesses, we have resolved certain contingencies associated with those sales. In connection with the resolution of those contingencies and our settlement of claims by the purchaser of our United Kingdom ATM business, we recorded additional losses on the sales of discontinued operations of $221,000 in the second quarter of 2007, $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2007 and $213,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007.
     A charge of $2.7 million is included in discontinued operations for 2007 to write down the carrying amount of the assets of the Canadian photocopy business to their estimated fair value less cost to sell.
     Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of our United States photocopy business and our ATM businesses in Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany, which were sold in January 2007, are presented in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, as held for sale. The carrying amounts of assets reported as held for sale and related liabilities as of December 31, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):

12. Concentrations and Related Party Transactions
     We have purchased most of our ATMs from two suppliers, NCR Corporation and Triton Systems. In addition, NCR Corporation provides maintenance services for our company-owned installed ATMs. In 2005 we purchased equipment, parts and services from NCR Corporation in the amount of $4.8 million and from Triton Systems in the amount of $5.0 million. In 2006 we purchased equipment, parts and services from NCR Corporation aggregating $2.7 million and from Triton Systems aggregating $5.5 million. In 2007 we purchased equipment, parts and services from NCR Corporation aggregating approximately $1.6 million and from Triton Systems aggregating approximately $1.2 million. At December 31, 2007 we had $273,000 in accounts payable to NCR Corporation ($325,000 at December 31, 2006). At December 31, 2007 we had $268,000 in accounts payable to Triton Systems ($2.3 million at December 31, 2006).
     In connection with the acquisition of the eFunds ATM business, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with eFunds, (the “MSA”). The MSA had an initial term of five years. In December 2007, we entered into an agreement in principle with eFunds to terminate the MSA except for processing services, effective March 31, 2008. We incurred fees for services provided by eFunds of $6.4 million in 2005, $5.7 million in 2006 and $3.2 million in 2007. At December 31, 2007, we owed eFunds $3.3 million ($2.4 million at December 31, 2006). The December 31, 2007 balance owing to eFunds includes $2.5 million pursuant to the agreement to terminate the MSA (see Note 5). The $2.5 million payment is due upon execution of a mutually agreeable settlement and release agreement.
13. Segment Reporting
     Prior to the third quarter of 2006 we reported our operations in two segments — ATM and Photocopy. During the third quarter of 2006 our President and Chief Executive Officer began regularly reviewing operating results of our businesses on a geographical basis. Accordingly, we have modified our segment disclosures to reflect this change in our reporting practices. As a result of modifying our segment disclosures, during the third quarter of 2006 we reallocated goodwill of $119.7 million previously reported as an asset of our ATM segment to the new ATM segments as follows (in thousands):
         
United States ATM
$ 37,140  
Canada ATM
9,513  
United Kingdom ATM
73,056  
     We reallocated the goodwill based on the estimated relative fair values of the segments. See Note 14 regarding impairment of goodwill.
     As of September 30, 2006 we had the following six segments: Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) operations in the United

56


 

States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany; and photocopy operations in the United States and Canada. The ATM segments owned and/or operated ATMs, sold ATM machines, and serviced equipment for others. The photocopy segments owned and maintained self-service photocopiers in retail establishments.
     In June 2006 we sold our United Kingdom photocopier subsidiary. In January 2007 we sold our United Kingdom ATM subsidiary that owned our ATM businesses in the United Kingdom and Germany, and we sold substantially all of the assets of our United States photocopier and Canadian ATM businesses. In June 2007 we sold substantially all of the assets of our Canadian photocopy business. As a result of these sales, we have presented the results of operations of our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our Canadian, United Kingdom and United States photocopy businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying statements of operations, and have excluded those operations from the segment information in this footnote. General corporate overhead previously charged to the discontinued operations has been reallocated to our remaining segment.
     As a result of the foregoing sales, we now have only one operating segment — ATM operations in the United States. Our United States ATM business owns and/or operates ATM machines, sells ATM machines and services equipment for others.
     Substantially all of our revenues from continuing operations for 2005, 2006 and 2007 were derived from sales to customers in the United States. As of December 31, 2007, substantially all of our assets were located in the United States.
     All revenues are attributed to external customers. One ATM customer accounted for 16%, 20% and 25% of our net sales from continuing operations in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. A second ATM customer accounted for 8%, 9% and 11% of our net sales from continuing operations in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

14. Impairment Charges
     During the third quarter of 2006 we recorded non-cash charges of $96.1 million for the impairment of certain assets, of which $43.3 million is included in continuing operations and $52.8 million is included in discontinued operations.
    ATM goodwill. Because of continuing decreases in sales and operating margins in the ATM segments and other factors, we re-evaluated our financial forecasts in the third quarter of 2006 and concluded that it was necessary to review goodwill in our United States, Canadian and United Kingdom ATM segments for impairment of value. The review, consisting of a comparison of the carrying value of the goodwill to its implied fair value, resulted in impairment charges of $20.4 million in the United States, $5.8 million in Canada and $17.5 million in the United Kingdom. Our estimate of the implied fair value of the United States ATM segment’s goodwill was based on the quoted market price of our common

57


 

      stock and the discounted value of estimated future cash flows over a six-year period with residual value, using an 11% discount rate. Our estimate of the implied fair value of the Canadian and United Kingdom ATM segments’ goodwill was based on the estimated selling prices of those ATM segments.
 
    Finite-lived intangible assets associated with the ATM businesses. Because of faster than anticipated attrition of customer contracts, operating losses and revised financial forecasts, we concluded that it was necessary to review the carrying value of the long-lived assets of our United States, Canadian and United Kingdom ATM segments. In that review, we determined that the future cash flows from those assets were not adequate to recover those assets, and we recorded impairment charges of $22.9 million in the United States, $272,000 in Canada and $7.7 million in the United Kingdom, based on comparisons of the carrying amounts of the assets to their estimated fair values. Our estimate of the fair value of the United States assets was based on the discounted values of estimated future cash flows over a seven-year period using an 11% discount rate. Our estimates of the fair value of the Canadian and United Kingdom assets were based on the estimated selling prices of those ATM segments.
 
    Photocopy equipment in the United States and Canada. Because of operating losses in our United States and Canadian photocopy segments and revised financial forecasts, we concluded that it was necessary to review the carrying value of those segments’ long-lived assets, which consist almost entirely of photocopy equipment. As a result, we determined that future cash flows from the photocopy segments were not adequate to recover the carrying value of that equipment, and we recorded impairment charges of $18.7 million in the United States and $2.7 million in Canada based on a comparison of the carrying amounts of these assets to their estimated fair values. Our estimates of the fair values of the asset groups were based on the estimated selling price of the United States photocopy segment and the discounted value of estimated future cash flows over a ten-year period using an 11% discount rate for the Canadian photocopy segment.
15. Litigation and Potential Claims
     We are a defendant in various actions that have arisen in the normal course of business. We believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
     As described in Note 11, in 2006 and 2007 we sold our ATM businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada, and our photocopy businesses in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada in five separate transactions. In connection with these sales, we have made various representations and warranties and provided indemnities. The purchasers may make claims against us relating to the representations, warranties or indemnities, or provisions for adjustment of the sales prices, and those claims could be substantial. The purchaser of our United Kingdom and German ATM businesses asserted claims pursuant to the sales agreement, and in November 2007, we entered into a settlement agreement described further in Notes 6 and 11 pursuant to which we agreed to repay a portion of the purchase price.
     During the second quarter of 2005 we reached a final settlement agreement in the amount of $700,000 with our directors’ and officers’ liability insurer to obtain reimbursement of monies we spent to settle litigation among certain former directors and shareholders, parties related to those former directors and shareholders and ourselves. We received the settlement payment of $700,000 and included it in other expense (income), net during the second quarter of 2005.
16. Corporate Restructuring, Equipment Write-downs and Inventory Write-down
     In connection with the corporate restructuring plan we announced in November 2006 and the subsequent sales of a substantial portion of our operations, we have made significant staff reductions, including termination of all of our United States field service employees. We have also vacated leased warehouse and office space occupied by the terminated employees. During the first six months of 2007 we paid severance of $167,000 to terminated employees. During the first quarter of 2007 we vacated warehouse and office space in eleven United States locations. The vacated space was leased under leases with remaining terms up to seven years. We recorded a liability of $796,000 as of March 31, 2007, which was the estimated fair value of the costs that we expect to incur without any economic benefit, and we charged that amount to expense in the first quarter of 2007. We estimated the fair value of the liability based on the discounted value of the remaining lease payments, reduced by estimated sublease payments that we reasonably expect could be obtained for use of the properties.

58


 

     The costs for both severance payments and vacated leases are included in restructuring charges in our statement of operations for 2007.
     In the third quarter of 2007 contracts with three merchants that had TRM-owned ATMs in their stores were terminated, and we began removing those ATMs. In part because we no longer have field service technicians on our staff, we decided that we would not be refurbishing, upgrading and redeploying these ATMs, and we arranged to sell them to third parties. In addition, based on a review of our ATMs in storage, we decided that it would not be cost-effective to refurbish and upgrade most of our stored machines to current standards. As a result, in the third quarter of 2007 we charged $1.1 million to equipment write-offs to write down the equipment to be sold to its estimated net realizable value.
     Additionally, since we no longer have field service technicians on our staff, we are no longer using our inventory of parts and used ATMs in the normal course of business, and we have decided to sell or otherwise dispose of that inventory. As a result, in the third quarter of 2007 we charged $270,000 to cost of sales to write down our inventories to their estimated net realizable value.

     In the second quarter of 2006 we established a new credit facility which we used to refinance our existing term loan and lines of credit, incurring a $3.5 million loss on early extinguishment of debt of which $3.1 million is included in continuing operations. Also in the second quarter of 2006 we sold our United Kingdom photocopier subsidiary and recorded a gain on the sale of $2.2 million.
     As discussed in Note 14, during the third quarter of 2006 we recorded impairment charges of $96.1 million for the impairment of equipment, goodwill and finite-lived intangible assets, of which $43.3 million is included in continuing operations and $52.8 million is included in discontinued operations.
     The loss from discontinued operations for the fourth quarter of 2006 includes a charge of $1.7 million for estimated value added taxes.

59


 

     As discussed in Note 11, during the first quarter of 2007 we sold our Canadian, United Kingdom and German ATM businesses and our United States photocopy businesses. We recorded a net gain from these sales of $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2007. We used a substantial portion of the proceeds from the sale of these businesses to repay debt, resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2007. In the second quarter of 2007 we sold our Canadian photocopy business.
     As discussed in Note 16, we recorded restructuring charges of $963,000 in the first quarter of 2007, and we recorded equipment and inventory write-downs totaling $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2007.
     Subsequent to the sales of our United States photocopy and Canadian photocopy and ATM businesses, we have resolved certain contingencies associated with those sales. In connection with the resolution of those contingencies and our revised estimates and of the ultimate settlement of claims by the purchaser of our Untied Kingdom ATM business, we recorded additional losses on the sales of discontinued operations of $221,000 in the second quarter of 2007, $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2007, and $213,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007.
     A charge of $2.7 million is included in discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2007 to write down the carrying amount of the assets of our Canadian photocopy business to their estimated fair value less cost to sell.
     In the fourth quarter of 2007 we entered into an agreement with eFunds Corporation terminating our Master Services Agreement. In connection with the termination of that agreement we agreed to make a payment to eFunds that was approximately $2.0 million less than the liability we had recorded for services performed under the agreement. The $2.0 million was credited to expense in the fourth quarter of 2007.
     In the fourth quarter of 2007 we closed the bank accounts of our Canadian subsidiary and transferred the cash balances to a United States bank account, substantially liquidating the Canadian subsidiary. In connection with the substantial liquidation of that subsidiary we recognized in income from discontinued operations $2.7 million of currency exchange gains previously recorded in other comprehensive income.
     As discussed in Note 3, in the fourth quarter of 2007 we accrued a prepayment fee of $750,000 payable to the lender under TRM Inventory Funding Trust’s Loan and Servicing Agreement. The fee is included in our 2007 loss on early extinguishment of debt.
ITEM 9.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
     Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15(d)—15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public

60


 

accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
     Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
     Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
     Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 using criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.
Remediation of Previously Disclosed 2006 Material Weaknesses
We have remediated the following material weaknesses first reported as of December 31, 2006:
     Ineffective controls over segment disclosures and impairment analysis of goodwill and long-lived assets. Effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006, each quarter our senior accounting management prepares a summary and analysis of changes in our operations, organization and financial reporting practices that might affect our operating segments or reporting units, including a conclusion on the appropriateness of the operating segments and reporting units we have identified. Because of business sales, we currently have only one operating segment. Further, whenever we conclude that any of our long-lived assets must be tested for recoverability, our senior accounting management prepares a summary of the significant assumptions and methods used in the resulting analysis. These summaries are reviewed by our Chief Financial Officer.
     Inadequate staffing in the United Kingdom. In January 2007 we sold all of our operations in the United Kingdom.
     Based on our testing of our enhanced procedures relating to segment disclosures and impairment analysis, and the sale of all of our operations except our United States ATM operations, our management has determined that, as of December 31, 2007, we have remediated the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2007.

                    (i) (A) (x) the number of Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof) which such Holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of such Warrant for the number of Warrant Shares designated in such conversion notice (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof pursuant to this subsection), multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of each such Warrant Share so receivable upon such exercise
minus
                         (B) x) the number of Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof) which such Holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of such Warrant for the number of Warrant Shares designated in such conversion notice (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof pursuant to this subsection), multiplied by (y) the Exercise Price
divided by
                    (ii) the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share.
          2.2 Immediate Vesting. This Warrant shall be exercisable with respect to Warrant Shares immediately upon its issuance.
          2.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within four (4) business days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, and in accordance with

 


 

applicable securities laws, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct (subject in all cases, to the provisions of Section 8 hereof), a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value.

          2.7 Payment of Taxes and Expenses. The Company shall pay any recording, filing, stamp or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of, and the preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable) representing, (i) any Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and/or (ii) new or replacement warrants in the Holder’s name or the name of any transferee of all or any portion of this Warrant.
     3. Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares being purchased may be paid (i) in cash, by certified check or by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Company, (ii) by the Holder surrendering a number of Warrant Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to, greater than (but only if by a fractional share) or less than the required aggregate Exercise Price, in which case the Holder shall receive the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled upon such exercise, less the surrendered shares, or (iii) any combination of the methods described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii).
     4. Adjustment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
          4.1 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. If at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company shall subdivide (by way of stock dividend, stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be reduced proportionately and the number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the nearest whole share) shall be increased proportionately such that the number of Warrant Shares immediately after such subdivision shall constitute the same percentage of Common Stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis) as the Warrant Shares had represented immediately preceding the subdivision, and conversely, in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (whether by stock combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be increased proportionately and the number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the nearest whole share) shall be reduced proportionately such that the number of Warrant Shares immediately after such combination shall constitute the same percentage of Common Stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis) as the Warrant Shares had represented immediately preceding the combination. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 4.1.
          4.2 Adjustment for Stock Dividends. If at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any class or series of stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares to be obtained upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately to reflect the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or convertible securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 4.2.

 


 

          4.3 Adjustments for Reclassifications. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class(es) or series of stock, whether by reclassification or otherwise (other than an adjustment under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 or a merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for under Section 4.4), then and in each such event, the Holder hereof shall have the right thereafter to convert each Warrant Share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Warrant Shares would have been convertible immediately prior to such reclassification or change, all subject to successive adjustments thereafter from time to time pursuant to and in accordance with, the provisions of this Section 4.
          4.4 Adjustments for Merger or Consolidation. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other Person, (c) sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets, or (d) sell or transfer more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the Company (whether issued and outstanding, newly issued, from treasury, or any combination thereof) to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the consolidation or merger, sale or transfer, or dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided in Section 2.1 hereof at any time or from time to time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such consummation or such effective date, as the case may be, the stock and property (including cash) to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such consolidation or merger, or sale or transfer, or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if the Holder had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (assuming the payment by the Holder of the Exercise Price therefor as required hereby in a form permitted hereby, which payment shall be included in the assets of the Company for the purposes of determining the amount available for distribution), all subject to successive adjustments thereafter from time to time pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Section 4.
          4.5 Adjustments for Issuances Below Conversion Price. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company shall issue Common Stock or securities convertible, directly or indirectly, into Common Stock at a price, conversion price or exercise price (as the case may be, assuming ultimate conversion of such security into Common Stock) less than the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder, then the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares shall be reduced to such lower price relating to such issuance; provided, however, that the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares shall not be reduced upon the issuance of: (i) options to purchase Common Stock or Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to a stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors; or (ii) pursuant to any dividend payable in Common Stock for which appropriate adjustment is made.
          4.6 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any such transfer) referred to in this Section 4, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of Common Stock and other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such Common Stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the Person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets or more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the Company (whether issued and outstanding, newly issued or from treasury or any combination thereof), whether or not such Person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant.
          4.7 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 4, this Warrant shall, without any action on the part of the Holder, be adjusted in accordance with this Section 4, and the Company, at its expense, promptly shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company will forthwith send a copy of each such certificate to the Holder in accordance with Section 10.4 below.
     5. Registration Rights. The Warrant Shares shall be entitled to registration rights and all other rights as applicable to such shares in accordance with that certain Registration Rights Agreement, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time.
     6. Notices of Record Date. Upon (a) any establishment by the Company of a record date of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or right or option to acquire securities of the Company, or any other right, or (b) any capital reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or the sale, in a single transaction, of a majority of the Company’s voting stock (whether newly issued, or from treasury, or previously issued and then outstanding, or any

 


 

combination thereof), the Company shall mail to the Holder at least ten (10) business days, or such longer period as may be required by law, prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (i) the date established as the record date for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, option or right and a description of such dividend, distribution, option or right, (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or sale is expected to become effective and (iii) the date, if any, fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
     7. Exchange of Warrant. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof (if and to the extent applicable), this Warrant shall be exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for new warrants of like tenor, each registered in the name of the Holder or in the name of such other persons as the Holder may direct (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes). Each of such new warrants shall be exercisable for such number of Warrant Shares as the Holder shall direct, provided that all of such new warrants shall represent, in the aggregate, the right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares and cash, securities or other property, if any, which may be purchased by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of its surrender.

          8.3 Restrictions on Transferability of Securities.
               (a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Securities”) shall not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged except upon the conditions specified in this Section.
               (b) Each Holder agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Warrant. Such Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until (X) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)

 


 

covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement or (Y) such Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, such holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by a Holder (i) to a fund, partnership, limited liability company or other entity that is affiliated with such transferring Holder, (ii) to a partner or member (or retired partner or member) of such transferring holder, or to the estate of any such partner or member (or retired partner or member), (iii) to such transferring Holder’s spouse, siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors by gift, will or intestate succession or (iv) in compliance with Rule 144 (or any successor provision) of the Securities Act so long as the Company is furnished with satisfactory evidence of compliance with such rule; provided, however, that, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii), the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original holder hereunder.
          8.4 Warrant Register. The Company shall keep at its principal office a register for the registration, and registration of transfers, of the Warrants. The name and address of each Holder of one or more of the Warrants, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more of the Warrants shall be registered in such register. The Company shall give to any Holder of a Warrant promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered Holders of the Warrants.
     9. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of a customary affidavit of the Holder and indemnity agreement, or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, or will instruct its transfer agent to execute and deliver, a new Warrant of like tenor and date, and any such lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant thereupon shall become void.
     10. General.
          10.1 Authorized Shares, Reservation of Shares for Issuance. At all times while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall maintain its corporate authority to issue, and shall have authorized and reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock, any other capital stock or other securities as shall be sufficient to perform its obligations under this Warrant (after giving effect to any and all adjustments to the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant).
          10.2 No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Restated Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, sale or other transfer of any of its assets or properties, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith carry out all such terms and take such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder hereunder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, and (b) will take all action that may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
          10.3 No Rights as Stockholder. The Holder shall not be entitled to vote or to receive dividends or to be deemed the holder of Common Stock that may at any time be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance or reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings (except to the extent otherwise provided in this Warrant), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, until the Holder shall have exercised this Warrant and been issued Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions hereof.
          10.4 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally delivered or delivered by overnight courier or mailed by first-class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by fax machine, addressed as follows:

The rights and remedies of the Holder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. The terms of this Warrant may be amended, modified or waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
     12. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and without giving effect to any principles of conflicts or choice of law that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
     13. Covenants To Bind Successor and Assigns. All covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Warrant contained by or on behalf of the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
     14. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
     15. Construction. The definitions of this Warrant shall apply equally to both the singular and the plural forms of the terms defined. Wherever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The section and paragraph headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Warrant and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Warrant.
     16. Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Warrant or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the successful party to such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other available remedy.

Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Loans may not be reborrowed.
     SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a)  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

 


 

     (i) Each Lender shall make the Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Borrower may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time.

     (i) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from the Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and cash or PIK interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
     (ii) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.
     (iii) On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
     SECTION 2.04. Interest on Loans. (a)  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05, the Loans shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate then in effect plus (i) for each Interest Period ending on an Interest Payment Date on which the Borrower pays all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans in cash, the Applicable Cash Percentage, and (ii) for each other Interest Period, the Applicable PIK Percentage.
     (i) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates, at the Borrower’s option (i) in cash or (ii) in kind (“PIK”) in the form of additional Loans (valued at 100% of the face amount thereof, which shall be rounded upward to the nearest $1.00); provided, however, that the Borrower may not pay interest in cash until such time as the Indebtedness of the Borrower and certain of its Subsidiaries under the GSO Loan Documents has been paid in full. The applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     SECTION 2.05. Default Interest. While any Event of Default exists, to the extent permitted by law, the Obligations shall bear cash (or, until such time as the Indebtedness of the Borrower and certain of its Subsidiaries under the GSO Loan Documents has been paid in full, PIK) interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, at the rate otherwise applicable to a Loan pursuant to Section 2.04 plus 2.00% per annum.
     SECTION 2.06. Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Loans on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all the Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 15, 2008 if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by such time.
     SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans. To the extent not previously paid, all Loans (including capitalized PIK interest) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date together with accrued and unpaid cash or PIK interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment. The Borrower shall pay all such amounts to the Lenders on the Maturity Date or, if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or in the definition of “Maturity Date”, any repayment of the Loans on the date of consummation of the Acquisition shall be deemed an optional prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(a) hereof (but not subject to Section 2.08(b)) unless the Loans are repaid with the proceeds of a debt financing provided by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates.
     SECTION 2.08. Prepayment.

The Borrower will give at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 2.08(a) to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Loan owned by such Lender to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 2.11), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay the Loans by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein.

The provisions of this clause (b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance or incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
     (ii) All prepayments under this Section 2.08 shall be subject to Section 2.10.
     SECTION 2.09. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, upon demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
     (i) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
     (ii) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.
     (iii) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
     SECTION 2.10. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     SECTION 2.11. Pro Rata Treatment. Each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans and each payment of cash or PIK interest on the Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans.
     SECTION 2.12. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans

 


 

shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.12 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
     SECTION 2.13. Payments. (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees or other amounts but excluding PIK interest paid in accordance with the terms hereof) hereunder and under any other Financing Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment that is payable to a Lender shall be paid directly to such Lender at the office identified on Schedule 2.01 for such Lender or as otherwise directed by such Lender in writing from time to time, and each such payment that is payable to the Administrative Agent shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent, at its office identified on Schedule 2.01 or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time.
     (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or cash or PIK interest on any Loan or any fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable.
     SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a)  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (i) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (ii) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Financing Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     (iii) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be.
     (iv) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable

 


 

law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
     (v) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.
     SECTION 2.15. Assignment of Loans Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. If (a) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.09 or (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (i) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (ii) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.09 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.
     SECTION 2.16. Issuance of Warrant. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower agrees to issue to the Lenders on the Closing Date, Warrants to purchase in the aggregate 2,500,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Borrower’s Common Stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), at an exercise price initially equal to $0.40 per Warrant Share, which shall be appropriately adjusted subsequently for any recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, stock splits and the like which occur after the Closing Date as set forth in the Form of Warrants.

The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Administrative Agent.
     Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Financing Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

     SECTION 10.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Financing Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Section 2.09, 2.10, 2.14 and 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
     SECTION 10.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party hereto as of the date hereof and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
     SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
     (i) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that (i) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to any such assignment made (A) to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, (B) during the primary syndication of the Loans and the Commitments to persons identified to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date or (C) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in an integral multiple of, and not less than, $500,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans), (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of concurrent assignments to persons that, after giving effect to such assignments, will be Related Funds), and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.09, 2.10, 2.14 and 10.05).
     (ii) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balance of its Loans, without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such

 


 

assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
     (iii) The Borrower shall maintain at its principal executive offices in Portland, Oregon a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
     (iv) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) notify the Borrower of such acceptance. The Borrower shall promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).
     (v) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Section 2.09 and 2.14 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or person has an interest or releasing any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05).
     (vi) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.16.
     (vii) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
     (viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this

 


 

Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in the Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
     (ix) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
     SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
     (i) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
     (ii) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time.
     (iii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
     (iv) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

 


 

     SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Financing Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Financing Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
     SECTION 10.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
     SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a)  No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Financing Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
     (i) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to the Loans as a result of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.11, the provisions of Section 10.04(a)(ix) or the provisions of this Section or release any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05), without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.04(a)(viii) without the written consent of such SPC or (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
     SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
     SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Financing Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related

 


 

Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents.
     SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11
     SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Financing Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
     SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
     SECTION 10.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
     SECTION 10.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a)  The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Financing Documents against the Borrower, or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
     (i) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Financing Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
     (ii) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
     SECTION 10.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Financing Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents or (ii) any actual or

 


 

prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.16. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary and related to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or their business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of Information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord its own confidential information.
     SECTION 10.17. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

          (j) Securities Actmeans the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect from time to time.

 


 

          (k) Shelf Registration Statementmeans a shelf registration statement of the Company filed with the Commission which covers some or all of the Registrable Shares, as applicable, and, at the option of the Company, such shares of capital stock (or other securities of the Company) as the Company shall designate therein, on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission, and any amendments and supplements to such registration statement, including post-effective amendments, in each case including the prospectus contained therein, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference therein.
          2. Demand Registration.
          (a) Requests for Registration. (i) Any time after the date hereof, any holder of the Registrable Shares may request registration under the Securities Act of any or all of its Registrable Shares for sale in the manner specified in such request; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to register Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i) on more than two occasions in the aggregate. With respect to any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the prospectus forming part thereof to be useable by the holders for one year from its effective date or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Registrable Shares covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or cease to be Registrable Shares, and after the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, promptly upon the request of any holder to take any action reasonably necessary to register the sale of any Registrable Shares of such holder and to identify such holder as a selling security holder. Any registrations requested pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i) shall be referred to as a Demand Registration.”
          (ii) A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until it has become effective and unless the holders of Registrable Shares requesting such registration are able to register and sell at least 80% of the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration.
          (b) Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company shall have the right to cause the registration of additional equity securities (Other Securities) for sale for the account of any Person (each, an Other Holder) in any registration of Registrable Shares requested by the holders thereof pursuant to paragraph (a) above; provided, however, that if the Company is advised in writing by a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by such holders that, in such firm’s good faith view, the number of Registrable Shares and Other Securities requested to be included (i) creates a substantial risk that the price per share in such registration will be materially and adversely affected or (ii) exceeds the number of Registrable Shares and Other Securities which can be sold in such offering, then the Company will include in such registration, prior to the inclusion of any Other Securities, the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold, pro rata among the respective holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares owned by such holders.
          (c) Restrictions on Registrations. The Company may postpone for up to 90 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Company delivers to the holders of Registrable Shares that have requested such Demand Registration a certificate executed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to the effect that such Demand Registration, if effected, would have a material adverse effect on any bona fide, material proposal or plan by the Company to engage in any financing, acquisition of assets or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other significant transaction; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than twice in any twelve-month period.
          3. Piggyback Registrations.
          (a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (whether or not for its own account) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Shares (a Piggyback Registration), the Company will give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Shares of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to the terms hereof, will include in such registration all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.
          (b) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration (i) creates a substantial risk that the price per share in such registration will be materially and adversely affected, or (ii) exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, then the Company will include in such registration: first, the securities the Company proposes to sell and second, the Registrable Shares and the Other Securities requested to be included in such registration to the extent that, in the opinion of

 


 

such underwriters, they can be sold, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Shares and the Other Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares and Other Securities requested to be so registered.
          (c) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is not an underwritten primary registration but is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration (i) creates a substantial risk that the price per share in such registration will be materially and adversely affected, or (ii) exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, then the Company will include in such registration the number of securities (including Registrable Shares) that such underwriters advise can be so sold without adversely affecting such offering, allocated pro rata among the Other Holders and the holders of Registrable Shares on the basis of the number of securities (including Registrable Shares) requested to be included therein by each Other Holder and each holder of Registrable Shares.
          4. Registration Procedures.
          (a) Whenever any holders of Registrable Shares have requested that any Registrable Shares be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible:
          (i) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Shares (after the holders of Registrable Shares included in such offering have had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such registration statement (and each amendment or prospectus filing related thereto)) and cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for such period as may be reasonably necessary to effect the sale of such securities as described in such request;
          (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;
          (iii) furnish to each seller of Registrable Shares and the underwriters of the securities being registered such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller or underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Shares owned by such seller or the sale of such securities by such underwriters;
          (iv) register or qualify such Registrable Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter, reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares owned by such seller (provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection or (y) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);
          (v) cause all such Registrable Shares to be listed or authorized for quotation on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted or, if similar securities are not then so listed or quoted, as the holders thereof may reasonably request;
          (vi) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Shares not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

          (viii) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent

 


 

retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the preparation of such registration statement;

          (x) notify each seller of such Registrable Shares of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information;
          (xi) prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the request of any seller of such Registrable Shares, any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus which, in the written opinion of counsel selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares being registered, may be required under the Securities Act in connection with the distribution of Registrable Shares by such seller;
          (xii) prepare and promptly file with the Commission and promptly notify each seller of such Registrable Shares of the filing of such amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
          (xiii) advise each seller of such Registrable Shares, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order is issued;
          (xiv) refrain from filing any such registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement to which counsel selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares being registered shall have objected in writing on the grounds that such amendment or supplement may not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act;
          (xv) at the request of any seller of such Registrable Shares furnish on the date or dates provided for in the underwriting agreement, if any, or upon the effective date of the registration statement: (A) an opinion of counsel, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and the sellers of Registrable Shares, covering such matters as such underwriters, if any, and sellers may reasonably request and as are customarily covered by the issuer’s counsel in an underwritten offering; and (B) a letter or letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company addressed to the underwriters, if any, and the sellers of Registrable Shares, covering such matters as such underwriters, if any, and sellers may reasonably request and as are customarily covered in accountant’s letters in connection with an underwritten offering;
          (xvi) during such time as any holders of Registrable Shares may be engaged in a distribution of Registrable Shares, comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable; and
          (xvii) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the intended method of disposition and to make generally available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
          (b) Each holder of Registrable Shares that sells Registrable Shares pursuant to a registration under this Agreement agrees as follows:
          (i) Such seller shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company with the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective the registration statement, shall provide to the Company, in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding such seller and its plan of distribution of the Registrable Shares as may be reasonably

 


 

necessary to enable the Company to prepare the registration statement and prospectus covering the Registrable Shares, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith; and
          (ii) During such time as such seller may be engaged in a distribution of the Registrable Shares, such seller shall (A) comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable, (B) distribute the Registrable Shares under the registration statement solely in the manner described in the registration statement and (C) cease distribution of such Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration statement upon receipt of written notice from the Company that the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
          5. Registration Expenses.

In addition, the Company will pay its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance obtained by the Company and the expenses and fees for listing or authorizing for quotation the securities to be registered on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which any shares of common stock are then listed or quoted.
          (b) In connection with each Demand Registration and each Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the holders of Registrable Shares covered by such registration for such holders’ out-of-pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and expenses of one special counsel for the holders chosen by the holders of a majority of such Registrable Shares.
          (c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the holders of the Registrable Shares agree that in the event any such holders voluntarily withdraw their registration demand, such holders shall pay their pro rata portion of Registration Expenses incurred in such registration or surrender a single registration demand, as set forth in Section 2(a) above, as a result of such withdrawal.
          6. Indemnification.
          (a) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each seller of Registrable Shares, its officers, directors shareholders, partners, members, employees and agents and each Person who controls such seller (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees except as limited by Section 6(c)) caused by (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company or any managing underwriter by such seller or any such controlling person expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the sellers of Registrable Shares (and with the same exception with respect to information furnished or omitted by such underwriter or controlling person thereof) and in connection therewith the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form containing such provisions for indemnification and contribution as shall be reasonably requested by the underwriters.
          (b) In connection with any registration statement in which a seller of Registrable Shares is participating, each such seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests

 


 

for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and each underwriter and controlling person thereof against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees except as limited by Section 6(c)) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing to the Company or any managing underwriter by such seller or a controlling person thereof expressly for use therein; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be several, not joint and several, among such sellers of Registrable Shares, and the liability of each such seller of Registrable Shares will be limited to the net amount received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration statement.
          (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights of such Person except to the extent such failure to give notice shall materially prejudice the rights of the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment (with written advice of counsel) a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not enter into any settlement without the indemnified party’s prior written consent unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from liability relating to the claim. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment (with written advice of counsel) of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
          (d) Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 6(c), defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no holder shall be required to contribute an amount greater than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder with respect to the sale of any Registrable Shares. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The holders’ obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of Registrable Shares registered by them and not joint.
          (e) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the offering of Registrable Shares in a registration statement.
          7. Compliance with Rule 144. The Company shall (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public, (ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and (iii) at the request of any holder who proposes to sell securities in compliance with Rule 144, forthwith furnish to such holder a written statement of compliance with the reporting requirements of the Commission as set forth in Rule 144 and make available to such holders such information as will enable the holders to make sales pursuant to Rule 144.

 


 

          8. Form S-3 Registrations. In case the Company shall receive a written request from holders of at least 25% of the Registrable Shares that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3, and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Shares owned by such holder or holders, the Company will:
          (a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other holders of Registrable Shares; and
          (b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 15 business days, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Shares as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Shares of any other holder or holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 8: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the holders; (ii) if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than 30 days after receipt of the request of the holder or holders under this Section 8; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period; (iii) if the Company has, in the six (6)-month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration pursuant to this Section 8; or (iv) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
          (c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Shares and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the holders. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to this Section 8, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, qualification, printer’s and accounting fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the selling holder or holders and counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company. Registrations effected pursuant to this 8 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.
          9. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
          10. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived at any time only by the written agreement of the Company and a majority in interest of the holders of the Registrable Shares; provided that any such amendment or waiver shall apply equally to all holders of Registrable Shares. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any such holders of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
          11. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, whether so expressed or not. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Shares are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of Registrable Shares who consents in writing to be bound by this Agreement.
          12. Final Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the final agreement of the parties concerning the matters referred to herein, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings.
          13. Limit on Future Registration Rights. The Company will not grant any other registration rights to any Person (other than (a) registration rights that are subordinate to or, in the case of registration rights granted to the seller in connection with stock issued as consideration in connection with the Acquisition (as defined in the Loan Agreement), no more than pari passu with, the registration rights granted herein to the holders of Registrable

 


 

Shares and (b) registration rights previously granted to the Other Holders) without the consent from holders of at least 51% of the Registrable Shares.
          14. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

Exhibit 14.1
CODE OF ETHICS
(January 2008)
Introduction
The Board of Directors of TRM Corporation and its subsidiaries (“TRM” or the “Company”) has developed and adopted this Code of Ethics (this “Code”) to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
    Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interests between personal and professional relationships;
 
    Full, fair, accurate timely and understandable disclosure in TRM’s annual and quarterly reports and in other public communications made by TRM;
 
    Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
 
    The prompt reporting of violations of this Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and
 
    Accountability for adherence to this Code.
This Code applies to all directors, officers and employees of TRM, including, but not limited to, the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the principal accounting officer, the controller, and persons performing similar functions (who are collectively referred to as the “Senior Financial Officers”).
The Human Resources Department is responsible for distributing this Code to all employees. It is the responsibility of the directors, the executive officers, the Senior Financial Officers and each department head to demonstrate both in actions and words the importance of this Code to all officers and employees under their supervision.
Please take the time to read this Code carefully, since you are responsible for knowing and understanding its contents. If you need more information or have any questions, contact the Human Resources Department of TRM Corporation via telephone at (503) 943-2760, or email at richardorlandini@trm.com.
Legal Compliance
Maintaining the Company’s reputation as a premier institution and a good corporate citizen demands that you conduct the Company’s business in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, whether in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or any country in which the Company might conduct business, all rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market or other self-regulatory organizations applicable to the Company, and the provisions of this Code. These laws, rules and regulations are extensive and this Code does not attempt to identify all of the laws that govern the conduct of the Company’s business. Some of the specific areas with which employees are expected to comply, to the extent applicable, include, but are not limited to:
    Securities laws;
 
    Privacy and intellectual property laws;
 
    Laws prohibiting employment discrimination;
 
    Anti-trust and similar laws;
 
    Foreign corrupt practice laws; and
 
    Limitations on political contributions.
Many resources are available to you to become familiar with the laws, rules and regulations that apply to your scope of responsibility within the Company. From time to time, the Company will issue policies, procedures and guidelines that outline appropriate legal procedures to be followed. You are expected to read these materials and become familiar with their content.
Confidentiality
Maintaining the quality and confidentiality of the Company’s information, whether technical, sales and marketing, legal or other data, will ensure that the Company remains competitive and viable.
Therefore, you are permitted to use and disclose proprietary and/or confidential information only as authorized and only in furtherance of TRM’s business. In addition, you are responsible for making sure adequate safeguards are used

 


 

to prevent the disclosure or loss of proprietary and/or confidential information. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed.
An employee must also maintain the confidentiality of third party information that TRM has agreed to maintain confidential to the extent of any such confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement. An employee’s obligation to protect TRM proprietary and confidential information exists whether or not the information is explicitly labeled or otherwise designated as being proprietary or confidential, and the obligation continues even after leaving the company.
To avoid inadvertent disclosure, never discuss any information that is confidential with any unauthorized person, including family members or friends, who might inadvertently pass on this information to someone else. Furthermore, you should not discuss confidential information even with authorized TRM employees if you are in the presence of others who are not authorized; for example, while in a public area such as a restaurant, an airplane or an elevator. If you believe that confidential information may have been inadvertently disclosed, please contact the Legal Department immediately. If someone outside TRM asks you questions about the Company or our business activities relating to proprietary or confidential information, do not attempt to answer them unless you are authorized to do so. If you are not authorized, refer the person to the appropriate source within TRM. If you are uncertain as to whether you are authorized to answer the question or to whom the inquiry be referred, consult the TRM Legal Department before providing any information.
Conflicts of Interest
Members of the Company’s Board of Directors have a special responsibility because our directors are prominent individuals with substantial other responsibilities. To avoid conflicts of interest, directors are expected to disclose to their fellow directors any personal interest they may have in a matter that comes before the Board and to recuse themselves from participation in any decision in which there is a conflict between their personal interests and the interests of the Company. Directors must at all times honor the fiduciary duties imposed upon them by law in their capacity as directors, including their duty of loyalty to the Company.
The following guidelines apply to employees of the Company:
Employees of the Company are expected to conduct all of their business affairs ethically and honestly and with the highest sense of integrity. This requires you to ensure that your business dealings on behalf of the Company are never influenced by—or even appear to be influenced by—your own personal interests.
The Company has adopted the following guidelines to protect both the Company and employees against conflicts of interest, and from situations that create an appearance of a conflict of interest. Since conflicts of interest are not always clear-cut, you should discuss with the Legal Department of TRM, any question about any situation, transaction or relationship that reasonably could give rise to an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
Please note that a conflict of interest can be created by your own actions or by the actions of anyone acting on your behalf, including members of your immediate family, household, or others with whom you have a committed or similarly close relationship. This Code will refer to such persons as “Family and Close Relations.” Because no two situations are alike, you should contact the Legal Department of TRM if you have any questions about the applicability of these guidelines to a specific family or personal relationship.
1. Competing Employment. Employees may not work for, have a business association with, provide any services or materials to or receive any compensation for services or employment from any competitor of the Company.
2. Interests In Other Businesses. You and Family and Close Relations must avoid any direct or indirect financial relationship with other businesses that could cause divided loyalty. You may not have any financial interest in or receive compensation from any customer, party with whom the Company has a strategic business relationship, supplier or vendor of the Company. You must disclose to the Company any employment by your Family and Close Relations in positions of authority at a firm that competes with the Company or does business with the Company as a customer, vendor, supplier or party with whom the Company has a strategic business relationship. You must avoid conducting Company business with Family and Close Relations, either directly or indirectly, at a customer, supplier, party with whom the Company has a strategic business relationship or vendor unless you have prior written permission from the Legal Department of TRM Corporation. This provision will not prevent you from owning less than 5% of the stock of a publicly-traded company provided that the investment is not so large financially either in absolute dollars or a percentage of your total investment portfolio that it creates the appearance of a conflict of interest.

 


 

3. Outside Directorships. The Company encourages its employees to be active in industry and civic associations, including membership in other companies’ boards of directors. Employees who serve on outside boards of a profit-making organization are required, prior to acceptance, to obtain written approval from the Executive Management Committee of TRM. As a general rule, you may not accept a position as an outside director of any current or likely competitor of the Company. Furthermore, in the absence of an overriding benefit to the Company and a procedure to avoid any financial conflict (such as refusal of compensation and refusal from involvement in that company’s relationship with the Company), approval is likely to be denied where the Company employee either directly or through people in his or her chain of command has responsibility to affect or implement the Company’s business relationship with the other company. Approval of a position as a director of a company that supports or promotes a competitor’s products or services is also likely to be denied.
If the Executive Management Committee approves an outside directorship, you may keep compensation earned from that directorship unless the terms of the committee’s approval state otherwise. Generally, however, you may not receive any form of compensation (including stock options, stock or cash) for service on a board of directors of a company if the service is at the request of the Company or in connection with the Company’s investment in, or a significant relationship exists with, that company and the directorship is as a consequence or in connection with that relationship. Any company that is a vendor, supplier, party with whom the Company has a strategic business relationship or customer of the Company has a “relationship” with the Company. “Significant” is broadly defined to include a sole-source vendor/supplier, or one in which the Company is responsible for generating five percent or more of the outside company’s revenues. When membership on a board of directors is other than at the Company’s request, and a potential for conflict of interest exists (even if no compensation is received), you are expected to recuse yourself from any involvement in the Company’s relationship with that company. It is therefore important that you recognize that your membership should be an opportunity to provide expertise and to broaden your own experience, but you should not be put in a position where the other company expects to use your board membership as a way to get access to or to influence Company decisions.
The Company may at any time rescind prior approvals in order to avoid a conflict or appearance of a conflict of interest for any reason deemed to be in the best interests of the Company. In addition, the Company will periodically conduct an inquiry of employees to determine the status of their membership on outside boards.
4. Business Opportunities. You may not use Company business opportunities for your own personal gain. This includes any opportunity to profit from transactions in the consumer convenience services industry or other lines of business engaged in or planned by the Company or business opportunities which you discover during the course of your employment, or through the use of Company property or information. You should not engage in business in a personal capacity with competitors, customers, parties with whom the Company has a strategic business relationship, vendors, or suppliers of the Company unless doing so as a personal or business consumer on terms generally available to others on terms and conditions no less favorable than those which are made available to you.
5. Gifts, Favors and Personal Entertainment. You may not solicit or accept, directly or indirectly, any cash or monetary equivalents, objects of value or preferential treatment from any person or business that has or is seeking business with the Company where doing so may influence or appear to influence your business judgment.
    You may accept gifts, services or other items of value (but not cash) under the following circumstances:
  o   You may accept meals, travel, lodging, refreshment, or other normal business courtesies of reasonable value either in the course of a business meeting or to satisfy a reasonable business purpose of the Company.
 
  o   You may accept meals and entertainment, such as the occasional sporting event, provided that you do not do so frequently or under circumstances where your judgment could be influenced, or where the cumulative value of the entertainment is excessive. Any meals and entertainment involving substantial travel or an extended number of days cannot be accepted without written permission by the Legal Department of TRM.
 
  o   You may accept discounts or rebates on merchandise or services that do not exceed those available to members of the general public.
 
  o   You may accept non-cash gifts of reasonable value including for commonly-recognized events or occasions, such as a promotion, new job, wedding, retirement, birthday or holiday.
 
  o   You may receive awards from civic, charitable, educational or religious organizations of reasonable value for recognition of services and accomplishments.
 
  o   You may receive gifts, gratuities, amenities or favors received because of family or personal relationships when the circumstances make it clear that it is those relationships rather than the business of the Company that are the motivating factor.

 


 

Financial Reporting
As a public company it is of critical importance that TRM’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public disclosures be accurate and timely. Depending on his or her position with the Company, an employee may be called upon to provide information to assure that TRM’s public reports are complete, fair and understandable. The Company expects all of its personnel to take this responsibility very seriously and to provide prompt and accurate answers to inquiries related to TRM’s public disclosure requirements.
Senior Financial Officers have the primary responsibility for ensuring that the disclosure in the Company’s periodic reports is full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. Therefore, Senior Financial Officers are required to familiarize themselves with the disclosure requirements applicable to TRM Corporation as well as the business and financial operations of TRM Corporation. Senior Financial Officers are responsible for adequately supervising the preparation of the financial disclosures in the periodic reports required to be filed by TRM Corporation.
In the performance of their duties, Senior Financial Officers and other Company employees are prohibited from knowingly misrepresenting facts. A Company employee will be considered to have knowingly misrepresented facts if he or she knowingly (1) makes, or permits or directs another to make, materially false or misleading entries in an entity’s financial statements or records; (2) fails to correct materially false and misleading financial statements or records; (3) signs, or permits another to sign, a document containing materially false and misleading information; or (4) falsely responds, or fails to respond, to specific inquiries of the Company’s internal or external auditors.
Waivers
The Company expects that all of its directors, officers and employees will strictly adhere to this Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there may be special circumstances under which the Company may elect to waive a particular provision of this Code for a limited purpose. Waivers of this Code for any employee of the Company other than officers or directors of TRM Corporation may only be made by the Legal Department of TRM. Any waiver of this Code for officers or directors of TRM Corporation may only be made by its Board of Directors and must be promptly disclosed, including the reasons therefor, to the shareholders of TRM Corporation and to appropriate regulators, if and as required by applicable law or rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market or other self-regulatory organization then applicable to the Company. For the purpose of this section of the Code, the term “officer” shall mean those officers covered in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Responsibilities for Compliance
Where a director, officer, or employee believes or determines that an actual, potential, or apparent violation of this Code exists he or she must promptly report it in writing, on an anonymous basis if so desired, to TRM’s Legal Department. Complaints will be promptly investigated by the Legal Department or, in the case of actual, potential or apparent violations involving accounting or auditing matters, another duly appointed delegatee of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Audit Committee’s policies and procedures. Should the director, officer or employee feel that the complaint is not being addressed appropriately, he or she must report it in writing, on an anonymous basis if so desired, to ethics@trm.com, which is posted on the TRM website or send to Julie Wilson, Esquire, Ledgewood, P.C., 1900 Market Street, Suite 750, Philadelphia, PA 19103. This will forward the complaint to outside counsel on behalf of the Audit Committee, who will promptly investigate the complaint.
Full and timely disclosure of the facts will help meet your responsibilities under this Code and will enable the Company to maintain the highest ethical standards. No officer, director, or employee will be discharged, threatened, or discriminated or retaliated against because the person or someone else acting on his or her behalf makes a good faith disclosure concerning another officer, director, or employee. Officers, directors and employees are obliged to cooperate with investigations into Code violations and must always be truthful and forthcoming in the course of any such investigations.
Any director, officer or employee who has a good-faith belief that he or she has been harassed, discharged, threatened, discriminated against or otherwise retaliated against because of a disclosure of securities law violations or fraudulent activity in violation of this Code, or because of assistance in an investigation, should promptly bring his or her complaint of retaliation to the attention of the Legal Department or the Audit Committee of TRM Corporation via our outside counsel in the case where you reasonably believe that the Legal Department is involved in the retaliation. The Legal Department (or such other duly appointed designee) will have authority to investigate any such claim of retaliation and, if retaliation has occurred, to promptly recommend corrective action.

 


 

Consequences of Violations
Violations of any provision of this Code, including retaliation against someone who has made a complaint of a violation, may result in disciplinary action including termination of employment or other relationship with the Company. In addition, certain violations could result in the imposition of civil and/or criminal sanctions. Illegal actions on the part of persons covered by this Code will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
