Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 27, 2010, Verint Systems Inc. (“Verint”) entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2007, as amended, among Verint, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). Among other things, the Amendment (i) changes the method of calculation of the applicable interest rate margin to be based on Verint’s consolidated leverage ratio (Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement)) from time to time, (ii) adds a 1.50% LIBOR floor, (iii) increases the aggregate amount of incremental revolving commitment and term loan increases permitted under the Credit Agreement from $50,000,000 to $200,000,000, and (iv) makes certain changes to the negative covenants, including providing covenant relief with respect to the permitted consolidated leverage ratio.
In addition, on July 30, 2010, Verint entered into an Incremental Amendment and Joinder Agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”) to the Credit Agreement increasing the revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement from $15,000,000 to $75,000,000.
The descriptions of the Amendment and the Joinder Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to each of the Amendment and the Joinder Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Dismissal of SEC Section 12(j) Proceeding
Verint previously reported that on March 3, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued an Order Instituting Proceedings pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to suspend or revoke the registration of Verint’s common stock because of Verint’s previous failure to file certain annual and quarterly reports. On May 28, 2010, Verint entered into an agreement in principle with the SEC’s Division of Enforcement regarding the terms of a settlement of the Section 12(j) proceeding, which agreement was subject to approval by the SEC. On June 18, 2010, Verint satisfied the requirements of such agreement and subsequently submitted an Offer of Settlement to the SEC. On July 28, 2010, the SEC issued an Order accepting Verint’s Offer of Settlement and dismissing the Section 12(j) proceeding.
Termination of Interest Rate Swap
Also, on July 30, 2010 Verint terminated the interest rate swap it entered into in May 2007 in connection with entry into the Credit Agreement that had effectively fixed Verint’s interest exposure with respect to $450,000,000 of the term loans thereunder at a 5.18% interest rate. To terminate the interest rate swap prior to its May 2011 maturity, Verint paid approximately $21.7 million to the counterparty, representing the approximate present value of the expected remaining quarterly settlement payments that otherwise were to have been due from Verint thereafter.

Exhibit 10.1
Exhibit 10.1
AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT dated as of July 27, 2010 (this “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of May 25, 2007 (as heretofore amended or modified, the “Credit Agreement”) among VERINT SYSTEMS INC. (the “Borrower”), the LENDERS from time to time party thereto and CREDIT SUISSE AG, CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH (formerly known as Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch), as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) change the method of calculation of the Applicable Margin, (ii) increase the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Increases permitted under the Credit Agreement and (iii) make certain changes to the negative covenants.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Defined Terms; References. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein that is defined in the Credit Agreement has the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement. Each reference to “hereof”, “hereunder”, “herein” and “hereby” and each other similar reference and each reference to “this Agreement” and each other similar reference contained in the Credit Agreement shall, after this Amendment becomes effective, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
Section 2. Section 1.1 (Defined Terms). Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended as follows:
(a) the following definitions are inserted in appropriate alphabetical order:
Effective Yield”: as to any Loans, the effective all-in-yield on such Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent, taking into account the applicable interest rate margins, any interest rate floors or similar devices and all fees, including upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the weighted average life to maturity of such Loans and (y) the four years following the date of incurrence thereof) payable generally to lenders making such Loans, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant lenders and customary consent fees paid generally to consenting lenders. For the Revolving Credit Facility, calculations of effective all-in-yield shall assume that the Revolving Credit Commitments are fully drawn.
Third Amendment Effective Date”: the “Effective Date” as defined in Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2010.

 


 

(b) the definition of “Applicable Margin” is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Applicable Margin”: for each Type of Loan for any day, the rate per annum based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the relevant date of determination according to the following pricing grid:
                     
        Base Rate     Eurodollar  
    Consolidated Leverage Ratio   Loans     Loans  
Category 1
  Greater than 3:00:1:00     3.25 %     4.25 %
Category 2
  Greater than 2:75:1:00 but less than or equal to 3:00:1:00     3.00 %     4.00 %
Category 3
  Greater than 2:50:1:00 but less than or equal to 2:75:1:00     2.75 %     3.75 %
Category 4
  Less than or equal to 2:50:1:00     2.50 %     3.50 %
Each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be effective with respect to all relevant Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding on and after the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent of the financial statements and certificates required by Section 6.1(a) or (b) and Section 6.2(b), respectively, indicating such change until the date immediately preceding the next date of delivery of such financial statements and certificates indicating another such change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the Third Amendment Effective Date until the Borrower shall have delivered the financial statements and certificates required by Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.2(b), respectively, for the period ended July 31, 2010, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be in Category 3 for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin. In addition, (a) at any time during which the Borrower has failed to deliver the financial statements and certificates required by Section 6.1(a) or (b) and Section 6.2(b), respectively, or (b) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be in Category 1 for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin.
If any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, respectively, is inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected financial statement and a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the applicable Lenders during the Applicable Period or their successors and assigns) the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to Section 2.15(c) and Section 8 hereof, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c) the definition of “Base Rate” is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Base Rate”: for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the Eurodollar Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Eurodollar Rate for any day shall be based on the rate determined on such day at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, by reference to the British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rates for deposits in Dollars (as set forth by any service selected by the Administrative Agent which has been nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as an authorized vendor for the purpose of displaying such rates) (which rate on any day shall not be less than 1.5% per annum). For purposes hereof: “Prime Rate” shall mean the prime lending rate as set forth on the Reuters Telerate Page 5 (or such other comparable publicly available page as may, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent after notice to the Borrower, replace such page for the purpose of displaying such rate if such rate no longer appears on the Reuters Telerate page 5), as in effect from time to time. The Prime Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate actually available. Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurodollar Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, respectively.
(d) the definition of “Commitment Fee Rate” is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Commitment Fee Rate”: 3/4 of 1% per annum.
(e) the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” is amended by inserting the following sentence at the end thereof:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Eurodollar Rate on any day shall not be less than 1.5% per annum.

(f) the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Permitted Acquisition”: an acquisition or any series of related acquisitions by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including any merger where the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is the surviving entity) of (a) all or substantially all of the assets or a majority of the outstanding voting Capital Stock or economic interests of a Person or (b) any division, line of business or other business unit of a Person (such Person or such division, line of business or other business unit of such Person shall be referred to herein as the “Permitted Acquisition Target”), in each case that is a type of business (or assets used in a type of business) permitted to be engaged in pursuant to Section 7.15, so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default shall then exist or would exist after giving effect thereto, (ii) for any acquisition for an aggregate consideration greater than $10,000,000, the Borrower shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that, both at the time of the proposed acquisition and after giving effect to the acquisition on a pro forma basis, the Borrower is in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 7.1, (iii) for any acquisition for an aggregate consideration greater than $10,000,000, the Administrative Agent shall have received (A) a description of the material terms of such acquisition, (B) upon request, audited financial statements (or, if unavailable, management-prepared financial statements) of the Permitted Acquisition Target for its two most recent fiscal years and for any fiscal quarters ended within the fiscal year to date for which financial statements are readily available and (C) upon request, consolidated projected income statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (giving effect to such acquisition), all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iv) such acquisition shall not be a “hostile” acquisition and shall have been approved by the Board of Directors or similar governing body and/or shareholders or other equity holders of the Permitted Acquisition Target.
(g) the definition of “Permitted Refinancing” is amended by deleting the word “and” at the end of clause (ii) thereof, replacing the period at the end of clause (iii) thereof with “; and” and inserting the following clause (iv) at the end thereof:
(iv) if such Indebtedness being extended, refinanced, renewed, replaced, defeased or refunded is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, such extension, refinancing, renewal, replacement, defeasance or refunding Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations on terms at least as favorable to the Lenders, taken as a whole, as those contained in the documentation governing the Indebtedness being extended, refinanced, renewed, replaced, defeased or refunded.
(h) the definitions of “Requisite Financial Statements” and “Requisite Ratings” are deleted in their entirety.

Section 3. Section 2.24 (Incremental Credit Extensions). Section 2.24 of the Credit Agreement is amended by (i) replacing the reference to “$50,000,000” with a reference to “$200,000,000” and (ii) inserting the following at the end of the fourth sentence thereof:
(provided that (1) if, following the incurrence of any Incremental Term Loans, the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Increases would exceed $50,000,000, then (x) if the Effective Yield for such Incremental Term Loans as of the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to any tranche of outstanding Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans (the amount of such excess being referred to herein as the “Term Loan Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Term Loan Yield Differential at each level in the pricing grid, effective upon the making of the Incremental Term Loans and (y) the weighted average life to maturity of the Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans and (2) if, following the effectiveness of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments would exceed $75,000,000, then if the Effective Yield for the Revolving Credit Commitments effected pursuant to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase as of the effective date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase exceeds the sum of the Effective Yield then applicable to any tranche of outstanding Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans and 0.50% (the amount of such excess being referred to herein as the “Revolving Credit Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Revolving Credit Yield Differential at each level in the pricing grid, effective upon the effectiveness of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase).
Section 4. Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (Financial Statements and Certificates; Other Information). Each instance of the parenthetical phrase “(except, until such time as clause (ii) of the definition of “Applicable Margin” has been satisfied, with respect to the impact of matters disclosed on Schedule 4.1)” in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety.

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among Verint Systems Inc. (the “Borrower”), the lenders time to time party thereto and the Beneficiary, as administrative agent, dated as of May 25, 2007 (as amended, supplemented, replaced, restated, substituted or otherwise modified), the Secured Parties agreed to make available to Borrower certain loans and other financial accommodations to Borrower and letters of credit for the account of Borrower.
WHEREAS, Grantor wished to provide further assurance and security to the Beneficiary and the Secured Parties and as a condition to the Beneficiary and the Lenders executing the Credit Agreement, the Beneficiary and the Secured Parties required that Grantor grant to the Beneficiary, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and a mortgage upon the Trust Property, to secure all of Grantor’s obligations under that certain Guarantee and Collateral Agreement made by the Borrower, certain of the Borrower’s subsidiaries and Beneficiary (as successor to Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (“Lehman”)), dated as of May 25, 2007 (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), that certain Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Fixture Filing and Financing Statement (the “Deed of Trust”) made by Grantor to The Public Trustee of the County of La Plata, Colorado, Edward J.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, among the Borrower, the Lenders, and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch dated July 27, 2010, the parties agreed to modify the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitment Increases (as each term is defined in the Credit Agreement) such that the Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitments may be increased to an aggregate of $865,000,000.

 

 


 

WHEREAS, Grantor and Beneficiary desire to modify the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of this Amendment, and confirm that the Deed of Trust remains in full force and effect, as modified by this Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Deed of Trust.
2. Amendments.
The final paragraph in the Granting Clauses of the Deed of Trust is hereby replaced by the following:
This Deed of Trust covers present and future advances and re-advances, in the aggregate amount of the obligations secured hereby, made by the Secured Parties for the benefit of Grantor, and the lien of such future advances and re-advances shall relate back to the date of this Deed of Trust; provided, however, that the maximum unpaid loan indebtedness secured hereby, exclusive of interest thereon, shall not exceed $865,000,000.
3. Confirmation of Lien. The Grantor affirms the liens and security interests granted in the Deed of Trust and confirms that the Deed of Trust secures, without limitation, the obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Grantor agrees that the Deed of Trust remains unchanged, except as described in Section 2 hereto, and is in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed. Nothing contained herein or in any other document relating to the Credit Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a novation of any of the obligations and liabilities secured by the Deed of Trust.
4. Miscellaneous. (a) The Grantor represents and warrants that, to the Grantor’s knowledge, as of the Amendment Date (i) the representations and warranties of the Grantor set forth in the Deed of Trust are true in all material respects, and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and be continuing.
(b) This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.
(c) The Grantor hereby confirms that it has no defenses or offsets with respect to its obligations under the Deed of Trust, as modified hereby.

(the “Borrower”), the LENDERS from time to time party thereto and CREDIT SUISSE AG, CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH (formerly known as Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch), as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Borrower has, by notice to the Administrative Agent dated July 29, 2010 delivered pursuant to Section 2.24 of the Credit Agreement (the “Notice”) (a copy of which notice is attached as Exhibit A hereto), requested an increase in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments from $15,000,000 to $75,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”).
WHEREAS, each financial institution identified on the signature pages hereto as an “Additional Lender” (each, an “Additional Lender”) has agreed severally, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, to provide a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and to become, if not already, a Revolving Credit Lender for all purposes under the Credit Agreement.
WHEREAS, after giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be as set forth on Annex A hereto.
The parties hereto therefore agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Defined Terms; References. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein that is defined in the Credit Agreement has the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement. Each reference to “hereof”, “hereunder”, “herein” and “hereby” and each other similar reference and each reference to “this Agreement” and each other similar reference contained in the Credit Agreement shall, after this Agreement becomes effective, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
SECTION 2. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. (a) Each Additional Lender shall, with effect from the Incremental Facility Closing Date (as defined below), become, if not already, a party to the Credit Agreement as a Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment set forth opposite such Additional Lender’s name on Annex A hereto (as such Revolving Credit Commitment may thereafter be changed from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). Each Additional Lender shall, with effect from the Incremental Facility Closing Date, have the rights and obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) The last sentence of the definition of “Revolving Credit Commitment” is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as of July 29, 2010 is $75,000,000.

(d) Annex A attached to the Credit Agreement is deleted and replaced with Annex A hereto.
SECTION 3. Representations of the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants that:
(a) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the Notice and on and as of the Incremental Facility Closing Date after giving effect hereto as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are specifically made as of a particular date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct as of such date);
(b) no Default or Event of Default was continuing on the date of the Notice and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on and as of the Incremental Facility Closing Date after giving effect hereto and to any extension of credit requested to be made on the Incremental Facility Closing Date;
(c) the Borrower is in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement determined on a pro forma basis as of the date hereof and the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered under the Credit Agreement, in each case, as if the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase had been outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter for testing compliance therewith;
(d) each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as modified hereby. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, except for such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and filings in respect hereof required under the Exchange Act. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document as modified hereby constitutes, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party hereto or thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law);

 

2


 

(e) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as modified hereby will not violate any Requirement of Law or any material Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such material Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents);

Each Additional Lender hereby (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document (including Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement dated as of July 27, 2010) and such other documents and information as it deems appropriate to make its decision to enter into this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it shall be bound by the terms of the Credit Agreement as a Revolving Credit Lender thereunder and that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Revolving Credit Lender, (iii) irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Additional Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Additional Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (iv) specifies as its lending office and address for notices the offices set forth on the Administrative Questionnaire provided by it to the Administrative Agent.
