Amended and Restated Credit Agreement - On the Consummation Date, TER Holdings, TER and certain subsidiaries of TER (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), each as reorganized pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Beal Bank, as collateral agent and administrative agent, and Icahn Partners, as initial lenders.

On September 21, 2010, TER and certain of its subsidiaries (as reorganized, the “Reorganized Debtors”) entered into a Global Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), dated as of September 21, 2010, with Beal Bank, in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent under the 2007 Credit Agreement and under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and as a prior lender under the 2007 Credit Agreement, and Icahn Partners. On October 5, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement became effective on October 6, 2010. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to amend the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to the Third Amendment, which became effective on the effective date of the Settlement Agreement. Under the Third Amendment, which by its terms was retroactive to the Consummation Date (July 16, 2010), the initial principal amount of the interest-bearing portion of the term loans (collectively, “Term Loans”) under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of the Consummation Date was increased from $334,000 to $346,500, and the approximately $22,375 non-interest portion of the initial principal amount of the term loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was eliminated in its entirety (and references to the non-interest portion of the term loans in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were deleted). As a result, the total principal amount outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement decreased from approximately $356,375 to $346,500. The remaining terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement remained unaltered except as otherwise required to implement the Settlement Agreement.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal amortization payments equal to 0.25% of the total outstanding amount of the Term Loans as of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement. All indebtedness outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on December 31, 2015. Until such maturity date, TER Holdings is required to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans at a rate per annum equal to 12%, payable quarterly in arrears.

TER Holdings may elect, at its option, to prepay Term Loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, subject, during the eighteen (18) month period after the Consummation Date, to a prepayment premium of: (x) in the case of an optional prepayment made during the period from the Consummation Date to the date that is six (6) calendar months thereafter (the “Six Month Date”), 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then being prepaid and (y) in the case of an optional prepayment made during the period following the Six Month Date to the date that is twelve (12) calendar months thereafter, 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then being prepaid. To date, no optional prepayment has been made. TER Holdings may be required to make mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in connection with asset dispositions, debt and equity issuances and extraordinary receipts. On March 31, 2011, in addition to its scheduled quarterly principal amortization payment, TER Holdings made a $10,000 mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans utilizing proceeds from certain extraordinary receipts during 2010. In connection with the sale of Trump Marina, TER Holdings made a $30,000 mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans utilizing $28,000 of net cash proceeds from the sale of the Property and $2,000 of proceeds from certain extraordinary receipts. In connection with the sales of the Steel Pier and the skybridge, TER Holdings made mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans totaling $3,750 with the net cash proceeds from the sales.

Beginning on March 31, 2011, and on each subsequent anniversary of such date that occurs prior to the maturity date, TER Holdings is required to offer to the lenders to prepay portions of the Term Loans equal to 50% of the Free Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for the calendar year then most recently ended. The Company did not generate any Free Cash Flow during the calendar year ended December 31, 2010.

Amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants impose restrictions with respect to, among other things, (i) incurring liens, (ii) incurring debt, (iii) mergers or consolidations, (iv) sales or other dispositions of assets, (v) investments, (vi) dividends or distributions on, or repurchases of, equity interests, (vii) prepaying or repurchasing debt and (viii) certain capital expenditures. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary event of default and remedy provisions, including a provision stating that an event of default includes any termination or expiration of the Second Amended and Restated Trademark License Agreement entered into on the Consummation Date (the “Trademark License Agreement”) or the issuance of an injunction or similar order against the Company under the Trademark License Agreement. A copy of the Trademark License Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 20, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Events of Default Under 2007 Credit Agreement and Senior Notes – As discussed in Note 1, on February 17, 2009, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions in the Bankruptcy Court seeking relief under the provisions of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The filing of the Chapter 11 Case constituted an event of default and therefore triggered repayment obligations under the 2007 Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes. As a result, all indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Notes and the 2007 Credit Agreement (which had a cross-default provision with the Senior Notes) became automatically due and payable.
Due to the events of default under the 2007 Credit Agreement and under the Senior Notes, (i) the interest rate on any overdue principal or interest relating to the Senior Notes increased by an additional 1% per annum in excess of the 8.5% interest rate (as of the Consummation Date, we were past due on our December 1, 2008, June 1, 2009, December 31, 2009 and June 1, 2010 interest payments) and (ii) the interest rate under the 2007 Credit Agreement increased by an additional 2% in excess of the otherwise applicable interest rate on amounts outstanding under the 2007 Credit Agreement.
On the Consummation Date, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Senior Notes were canceled and the lenders under the 2007 Credit Agreement received, in full and final satisfaction of their claims, $125,000 in cash from the proceeds of the $225,000 equity contribution made pursuant to the rights offering to eligible holders of the Senior Notes and general unsecured claims (the “Rights Offering”) and new term loans as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
