EXHIBIT 10.1
SECOND AMENDMENT TO
CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Preamble. THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (hereinafter,
together with all schedules and exhibits hereto, and any supplements, additions,
modifications or amendments thereto made from time to time called the "Second
Amendment"), dated as of April 1, 1999 (the "Second Amendment Date"), is made by
and among THOMASTON MILLS, INC., a Georgia corporation (hereinafter, together
with its successors and permitted assigns called the "Borrower"); THOMASTON
MILLS FSC, INC., a U.S. Virgin islands corporation (hereafter, together with its
successors and permitted assigns, called "FSC"); NATIONSBANK, N.A., a national
banking association (hereinafter, together with its successors and permitted
assigns, called "NationsBank"; NationsBank, together with SunTrust and Wachovia,
each as hereinafter defined, called collectively, the "Lenders" and,
individually, a "Lender"); SUNTRUST BANK, ATLANTA, a Georgia banking corporation
(hereinafter, together with its successors and permitted assigns, called
"SunTrust"), individually and as "Administrative Agent" and "Syndication Agent"
(as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement defined below), on behalf of
the Lenders; WACHOVIA BANK, N.A., a national banking association (hereinafter,
together with its successors and permitted assigns, called "Wachovia"), as
"Special Issuer," "Documentation Agent" and "Collateral Agent" (as those terms
are defined in the Credit Agreement defined below), on behalf of the Lenders;
and SUNTRUST EQUITABLE SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Tennessee corporation
(hereinafter, together with its successors and permitted assigns called
"SunTrust Equitable Securities"), as "Arranger" and "Lead Manager" (as those
terms are defined in the Credit Agreement defined below), on behalf of the
Lenders.
The Borrower, FSC, SunTrust (in its respective capacities
described above), Wachovia (in its respective capacities described above),
NationsBank as a Lender and SunTrust Equitable Securities (in its respective
capacities described above) (the foregoing parties herein sometimes collectively
called the "Parties" and individually called a "Party") are Parties to a certain
Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of August 19, 1998 (which is, as amended
to date pursuant to the First Amendment, called herein the "Credit Agreement"),
pursuant to which, among other things, the Lenders agreed to extend credit and
other financial accommodations to the Borrower.
As of the Second Amendment Date, certain Events of Default
have occurred and are continuing, portions of which heretofore have been waived
by the Lenders, subject to the Borrower's fulfillment of certain conditions,
which have not been fulfilled. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders waive
(or, as appropriate, continue to waive) these Events of Default and also waive
the Borrower's continuing compliance with certain financial covenants contained
in the Loan Agreement, in exchange for a shortening of the Termination Date to
June 1, 1999 and the Borrower's commitment to pursue diligently the full payment
of all Obligations by not later than such date. The Lenders have considered the
Borrower's proposal, and are agreeable thereto. The Parties have agreed to
modify and amend the Credit Agreement in the manner, and subject to the terms
and conditions, set forth hereinbelow in order to memorialize and give effect to
the Parties' agreement.
