ANNEX I

 

FORM OF SOLVENCY AND NON-CONTRAVENTION CERTIFICATE

 

[_________], 2017

 

This Solvency and Non-Contravention Certificate (this “ Certificate ”) is delivered pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of “ Supreme Acquisition Conditions ” of the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2012 (as the same may be amended, amended and/or restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”), among Wabash National Corporation (the “ Borrower ”), Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the arranger and administrative agent (the " Administrative Agent ") for the lenders from time to time party thereto (the " Lenders "), and each other credit party thereto. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

The undersigned, [________], Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower, is familiar with the properties, businesses, assets and liabilities of the Borrower and is duly authorized to execute this Certificate on behalf of the Borrower.

 

1.           Non-Contravention . The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders, on behalf of the Borrower and not in his or her individual capacity, that each of the following representations and warranties shall be true, correct, and complete, in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the date hereof: the performance by each Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party does not materially conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under (i) such Credit Party’s Organizational Documents, (ii) the Permitted Convertible Notes Indenture, (iii) the Revolving Credit Agreement (to the extent the ABL Amendment is consummated on our prior to the date hereof), (iv) to the extent applicable, the definitive documentation governing the Bridge Facility, (v) to the extent applicable, the definitive documentation governing the Securities and/or Acquisition Loans or (vi) the definitive documents governing the Permitted Inventory Financing.

 

2.           Solvency. The undersigned certifies, on behalf of the Borrower and not in his or her individual capacity, that (a) he has made such investigation and inquiries as to the financial condition of the Borrower as the undersigned deems necessary and prudent for the purposes of providing this Certificate, (b) the financial information, projections and assumptions which underlie and form the basis for the representations made in this Certificate were made in good faith and were based on assumptions reasonably believed by the Borrower to be fair in light of the circumstances existing at the time made and continue to be reasonably believed by the Borrower to be fair as of the date hereof and (c) for purposes of providing this Certificate, the amount of contingent liabilities has been computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing as of the time of such computation, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

 

BASED ON THE FOREGOING, the undersigned certifies, on behalf of the Borrower and not in his or her individual capacity, that, on the date hereof, both before and after giving effect to the Supreme Acquisition (and the Indebtedness and other obligations incurred or to be incurred in connection with the Supreme Acquisition), (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation on a going concern basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (b) the present fair salable value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated and going concern basis, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, on their debts as they become absolute and matured in the ordinary course of business, (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course of business and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date.

 

 

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate on the date first above written.
