In connection with the Sixth Amendment, the lenders also consented to SIRVA’s sale of its Business Services Division in the United Kingdom and Ireland, which includes SIRVA’s U.K. Records Management business, GB Nationwide Crate Hire business and Irish Security Archives unit, pursuant to an agreement, effective as of March 15, 2006, between SIRVA UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIRVA, as seller, Crown Relocation Services Limited, as purchaser, and Crown Worldwide Holdings Limited, as purchaser’s guarantor.

 

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Sixth Amendment, SIRVA Worldwide paid the consenting lenders an amendment fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the sum of each such lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Term Loans outstanding as of March 23, 2006.
