Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment to Term Loan Agreement
On December 8, 2016, Boise Cascade Company (“the Company”) and its principal operating subsidiaries, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., and Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., as borrowers, and Boise Cascade Wood Products Holdings Corp., Chester Wood Products LLC, and Moncure Plywood LLC, as guarantors, entered into the First Amendment to the Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”) with American AgCredit, PCA, as administrative agent and sole lead arranger, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, originally dated March 30, 2016.
The Term Loan Amendment allows the Company to prepay its $75 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) (in whole or in part) and subsequently reborrow amounts prepaid on or before December 31, 2018. The Company's option to reborrow applicable prepaid principal amounts expires on December 31, 2019. Reborrowings may be made in up to three instances in minimum amounts of $10 million each. In addition, amounts prepaid and eligible for reborrowing are subject to an unused line fee of 0.325% per annum times the average daily amount of the unused commitments.
The Term Loan Amendment sets forth procedures for reborrowing and also amends certain provisions relating to permitted indebtedness and refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness and certain provisions related to the Company’s $350 million senior unsecured notes issued on August 29, 2016.
The foregoing summary of the Term Loan Amendment is qualified in its entirety to the complete text of the Term Loan Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment to Senior Secured Asset-Based Credit Facility
On December 8, 2016, the Company and its principal operating subsidiaries, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., and Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., as borrowers, and Boise Cascade Wood Products Holdings Corp., Chester Wood Products LLC, and Moncure Plywood LLC, as guarantors, entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, originally dated May 15, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified before the date of the Credit Facility Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Credit Facility Amendment modifies sections of the Credit Agreement related to permitted indebtedness. In particular, the Credit Facility Amendment increases the Company’s ability to issue other unsecured indebtedness to $100 million from $25 million provided that the Company is in compliance with certain financial covenants after giving effect to the debt incurrence on a pro forma basis. The Credit Facility Amendment also incorporates or amends certain provisions relating to the Term Loan, and the Company’s $350 million senior unsecured notes issued on August 29, 2016.
The foregoing summary of the Credit Facility Amendment is qualified in its entirety to the complete text of the Credit Facility Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On December 8, 2016, following the entry into the Term Loan Amendment, the Company prepaid $30 million of the term loan, which became available to reborrow pursuant to the Term Loan Amendment.

Exhibit 10.1
FIRST AMENDMENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT
This First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement (this “Amendment”) is dated as of December 8, 2016, and is among the Lenders identified on the signature pages hereof, AMERICAN AGCREDIT, PCA, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in that capacity, “Agent”), BOISE CASCADE COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“Boise Cascade”), and the Subsidiaries of Boise Cascade identified as Borrowers on the signature pages hereof (such Subsidiaries, together with Boise Cascade, “Borrowers”).
WHEREAS, the Lenders, Agent, and Borrowers entered into a Term Loan Agreement dated as of March 30, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified before the date of this Amendment, the “Term Loan Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, Boise Cascade desires that Agent, the Lenders and the Voting Participants amend the Term Loan Agreement as set forth herein. Agent, the Lenders and the Voting Participants are willing to make the foregoing amendment subject to the terms of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Definitions. Defined terms used but not defined in this Amendment are as defined in the Term Loan Agreement.
2. Amendment. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the First Amendment Effective Date set forth in Section 4 hereof, Borrowers, Agent, the Lenders and the Voting Participants hereby agree as follows:
(a) Section 2.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
2.1 Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (a) on the Closing Date each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment made (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) term loans (collectively, the “Term Loan”) to Borrowers in an aggregate amount equal to $75,000,000, which Term Loan may be prepaid (in whole or in part) and reborrowed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) beginning on the First Amendment Effective Date and through December 31, 2019, to the extent prepayments of the Term Loan are made on or prior to December 31, 2018, the aggregate principal amount prepaid on or prior to December 31, 2018 may be reborrowed in accordance with Section 2.2(c) in up to three (3) Borrowings (each such reborrowing, a “Redrawable Term Borrowing”), in minimum amounts of $10,000,000 each, on any Business Day requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2, and each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment agrees to make (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing (so long as such amount will not cause the aggregate outstanding amount of such Lender’s portion of the Term Loan to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment) by making such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds, to the deposit account of Agent identified on Schedule A-1, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the requested Funding Date. Each Borrowing under the Term Loan may be made as Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, as requested by Borrowers in the applicable Loan Notice. The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date of the acceleration of the
Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. All principal of, interest on, and other amounts payable in respect of the Term Loan shall constitute Obligations. Any Term Loan Lender may request that any portion of its Term Loan Commitment or the Term Loan made by it be evidenced by one or more promissory notes. In such event, Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to such Term Loan Lender the requested promissory notes payable to the order of such Term Loan Lender in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-1. Thereafter, the portion of the Term Loan Commitments and Term Loan evidenced by such promissory notes and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.
(b) In Section 2.2 of the Term Loan Agreement:
(i) the phrase “or on the applicable Funding Date” is added immediately following the phrase “on the Closing Date” in the first sentence of clause (b).
(ii) a new clause (c) is hereby added immediately following clause (b), to read as follows:
(c) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made pursuant to a written Loan Notice executed by an Authorized Person and delivered to Agent. Such notice must be received by Agent no later than noon (Chicago time) on (i) the Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date, in the case of any Base Rate Loan and (ii) the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan. At Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written Loan Notice, any Authorized Person may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, each Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing pursuant to a written Loan Notice within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.
(iii) a new clause (d) is hereby added immediately following new clause (c), to read as follows:
(d) Making of Loans.
(i) Agent shall notify the Lenders with a Term Loan Commitment, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day on which a Borrowing is requested, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than noon (Chicago time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Borrowings, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account; provided, however, that, Agent shall not be obligated to (but may in its discretion) request any Lender with a Term Loan Commitment to
2
make any Borrowing if it has knowledge that, and no such Lender shall have the obligation to make any Borrowing, if one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived. After giving effect to the Borrowing made on the Closing Date, no more than three (3) additional Borrowings may be made on the Term Loan.
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender with a Term Loan Commitment prior to 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date of a Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If such amount is so made available and is made available to Borrowers on such date, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Borrowing on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, and such amount has been advanced to Borrowers, then Agent will notify Borrowers of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Borrowings composing such Borrowing.
(c) Section 2.3(c)(i) of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(i) The Term Loan Commitments originally terminated on the Closing Date upon the initial funding of the Term Loan. To the extent one or more voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan are made on or prior to December 31, 2018, the Term Loan Commitments shall, so long as no Redrawable Term Borrowing has yet occurred, be automatically reinstated in an amount corresponding to the aggregate amount of such prepayments (and each Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment shall be reinstated in an amount corresponding to its Pro Rata Share of such aggregate reinstated amount). Any such reinstated amount shall (x) be reduced Dollar for Dollar by the funded amount of any Redrawable Term Borrowing and (y) terminate upon the earlier of: (A) the funding of three (3) successive Redrawable Term Borrowings and (B) December 31, 2019.
(d) The following paragraph is hereby added to the end of Section 2.7 of the Term Loan Agreement:
The Borrowers agree to pay to Agent, for the ratable account of those Lenders with unused Term Loan Commitments, on the fifth Business Day of each calendar quarter from and after the First Amendment Effective Date up to January 5, 2020, an unused line fee in
3
an amount equal to 0.325% times the average daily amount of the unused Term Loan Commitments during the preceding calendar quarter (or portion thereof).
(e) The following new Section 3.5 is hereby added immediately following Section 3.4 of the Term Loan Agreement:
3.5 Conditions Precedent to all Extensions of Credit. The obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to make any Redrawable Term Borrowings hereunder after the Closing Date at any time shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:
(a) the representations and warranties of each Borrower or its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct 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) on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date);
(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making thereof; and
(c) Agent shall have received a duly executed Loan Notice.
(f) Clause (l) of Section 6.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(l) other unsecured Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100,000,000 (the “Add-On Debt”), so long as (i) after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness on a pro forma basis, (x) the Borrowers would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7 and (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) any such Indebtedness shall have a final maturity date no earlier than August 1, 2022;
(g) Clause (m) of Section 6.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(m) either (but not both; provided that a combination of the following up to an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $350,000,000 plus capitalized interest, fees, and expenses, incurred in connection therewith shall be permitted) of the following: (i) Permitted Senior Indebtedness in respect of the Existing Senior Notes or (ii) Refinancing Indebtedness of the Existing Senior Notes (or any permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof);
(h) Section 6.7(a) of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

4
Indebtedness or the Add-On Debt, except (a) regularly scheduled payments of principal, interest and fees (but only, with respect to Specified Indebtedness that is Subordinated Indebtedness and/or any permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, to the extent not otherwise prohibited under any subordination agreement or intercreditor agreement relating to such Indebtedness), and (b) any prepayment, redemption, retirement, defeasance or acquisition of Specified Indebtedness or the Add-On Debt (together with, in each case, any accrued interest and premiums thereon); provided that in the case of clause (b), the Payment Conditions are satisfied both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to the prepayment, redemption, retirement, defeasance or acquisition of such Specified Indebtedness or Add-On Debt (as the case may be).
