Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 30, 2010, FreightCar America, Inc. issued a press release announcing that on July 29, 2010
it entered into a new $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility and cancelled the
Company’s previous credit facilities. The new revolving credit facility can be used for general
corporate purposes, including the funding of working capital.
The new revolving credit facility is pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement dated July 29, 2010
(the “Revolving Loan Agreement”) by and among FreightCar America, Inc., Johnstown America
Corporation, Freight Car Services, Inc., JAC Operations, Inc. and FreightCar Roanoke, Inc., as
borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”) and Fifth Third Bank, as lender.
The Revolving Loan Agreement replaces the Company’s prior revolving credit facility under the
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated August 24, 2007, as amended, among certain of
the Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as successor to LaSalle Bank
National Association, as administrative agent, which was terminated and cancelled effective July
29, 2010 along with the Credit Agreement dated September 30, 2008, as amended, among JAIX Leasing
Company, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, which had
been available to fund the Company’s leasing operations.
The Revolving Loan Agreement has a term ending on July 29, 2013 and revolving loans outstanding
thereunder will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. The Borrowers
are required to pay a non-utilization fee of 0.350% on the unused portion of the revolving loan
commitment. Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement are secured by the Borrowers’ accounts
receivable, inventory and certain other assets of the Borrowers, and borrowing availability is tied
to a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventory of the Borrowers. The Revolving
Loan Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, a
minimum tangible net worth covenant and limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments. The
Revolving Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default.
The foregoing description of the Revolving Loan Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Revolving Loan Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto which is hereby incorporated by
reference herein.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item
1.02.
