RECITAL
The Company, the Lenders and the Agent desire to amend the Credit
Agreement as provided below.
AGREEMENTS
In consideration of the promises and agreements set forth in the Credit
Agreement, as amended hereby, the Lenders, the Agent and the Company agree as
follows:
1. Definitions and References. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. All
references to the Credit Agreement contained in the Loan Documents shall, upon
fulfillment of the conditions set forth in section 3 below, mean the Credit
Agreement as amended by this Fourth Amendment.
2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is amended as
follows:
(a) The definition of "Adjusted Tangible Net Worth" contained in
section 1 is amended to read as follows:
"Adjusted Tangible Net Worth" means, with respect to the
Company on any date of determination, the remainder of (a) net book
value (after deducting related depreciation, obsolescence, amortization
and other proper reserves) at which the Adjusted Tangible Assets of the
Company would be shown on a balance sheet of the Company at such date,
but excluding any amounts arising from write-ups of assets, minus (b)
the amount at which the Company's liabilities (other than Subordinated
Debt, preferred stock, capital stock, surplus, and retained earnings)
would be shown on such balance sheet, and including as liabilities all
reserves for contingencies and other potential liabilities and minus
(c) the outstanding principal balance of Third Party Loans made by the
Company to Licensed Products, Inc.
(b) The definition of "Maturity Date" contained in section 1 is
amended by deleting "June 29, 2001" contained therein and substituting "June 28,
2002" in its place.
(c) The definition of "Parent" contained in section 1 is amended to
read as follows:
"Parent" means The Middleton Doll Company (formerly known as
Bando XxXxxxxxxx Capital Corporation), a Wisconsin corporation.
(d) Section 2.16 is created and added to read as follows:
2.16 Option to Increase Revolving Loan Commitments.
(a) From time to time, subsequent to the Closing Date, the
Company may, upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly provide a
copy of such notice to the Lenders), if no Default or Event of Default
then exists, propose to increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Loan Commitments of the Lenders (the amount of such increase, the
"Increased Commitments"); provided that the aggregate amount of all
such increases pursuant to this section 2.16 may not exceed
$10,000,000. The Company may designate one or more other banks or other
2
financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of
the existing Lenders) which at the time agree in the case of any such
lender that is an existing Lender to increase its Revolving Loan
Commitment and, in the case of any other such lender (an "Additional
Lender"), agree to become a party to this Agreement. The sum of the
increases in the Revolving Loan Commitments of the existing Lenders
pursuant to this subsection (a) plus the Revolving Loan Commitments of
the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the Increased
Commitments.
(b) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Loan Commitments pursuant to this section 2.16 shall become effective
upon receipt by the Agent of an agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent signed by the Company, by each Additional
Lender and by each other Lender whose Revolving Loan Commitment is to
be increased, setting forth the new Revolving Loan Commitments of such
Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to
become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all of the terms
and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate
corporate authorization on the part of the Company with respect to the
Increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Company with
respect to the Increase Commitments as the Agent may reasonably
request.
(c) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the
Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this section 2.16, the Company
shall, at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto, prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan then outstanding in its entirety
and, to the extent the Company elects to do so and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall reborrow
LIBOR Rate Loans from the Lenders in proportion to their respective
Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until
such time as all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans are held by the Lenders
in such proportion.
(e) Section 6.11 is amended by adding the following sentence at the
end thereof:
3
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes
of calculating the foregoing ratio, the Company's Third Party Loans to
Licensed Products, Inc. shall not be treated as Nonperforming Loans.
(f) The Company and the Lenders acknowledge that in connection with
the execution of this Fourth Amendment Firstar Bank, N.A. shall increase its
Revolving Loan Commitment by $25 million and U.S. Bank National Association
shall cease to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement. The Company and the
Lenders further acknowledge and agree that the new Percentages and Revolving
Loan Commitments of each Lender are as set forth next to each Lender's signature
to this Fourth Amendment.
(g) Exhibit A-1 attached hereto shall be deemed to be an exhibit to
the Credit Agreement.
3. Effectiveness of Fourth Amendment. This Fourth Amendment shall
become effective upon its execution and delivery by the Company, the Lenders and
the Agent and satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) Replacement Note. The Agent shall have received for Firstar a
promissory note of the Company in the form of Exhibit A-1 attached hereto,
payable to Firstar, in the full amount of Firstar's Revolving Loan Commitment
(the "Replacement Note").
(b) Closing Certificate of the Company. The Agent shall have
received copies for each of the Lenders, certified by the Secretary of the
Company to be true and correct and in full force and effect, of (i) a statement
to the effect that the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company
delivered to the Lenders on April 30, 1999 have not been amended since that date
and remain in full force and effect as of the date hereof; (ii) resolutions of
the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the issuance, execution and
delivery of this Fourth Amendment and the Replacement Note; and (iii) a
statement containing the names and titles of the officer or officers of the
Company authorized to sign such documents, together with true signatures of such
officers.
(c) Reaffirmation of Guaranty. The Agent shall have received a
reaffirmation of guaranty duly executed by the Guarantor in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent pursuant to which the Guarantor reaffirms
its obligations to the Lenders and the Agent..
(d) Proceedings Satisfactory. All other proceedings contemplated by
this Fourth Amendment shall be satisfactory to the Lenders and the Agent, and
the Lenders and the Agent shall have received such other information relating
hereto as the Lenders or the Agent may reasonably request.
4. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants
to the Lenders and the Agent that:
(a) The execution and delivery of this Fourth Amendment, the
Replacement Note and related documents, and the performance by the Company of
its obligations thereunder, are within its corporate power, have been duly
authorized by proper corporate action on the part of the Company, are not in
violation of any existing law, rule or regulation of any governmental agency or
authority, any order or decision of any court, the Articles of Incorporation or
By-Laws of the Company or the terms of any agreement, restriction or undertaking
to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, and do not require the
approval or consent of the shareholders of the Company, any governmental body,
agency or authority or any other person or entity; and
(b) The representations and warranties contained in the Loan
Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this
Fourth Amendment except (i) the representations and warranties contained in
section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to the most recent financial
statements delivered by the Company to the Lenders pursuant to sections 5.1 and
5.2 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) for changes contemplated or permitted by
the Loan Documents and, to the Company's knowledge, no condition exists or event
or act has occurred that, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of
time, would constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.
5. Costs and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, on
demand, all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) paid or
incurred by the Agent in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery
of this Fourth Amendment.
6. Full Force and Effect. The Credit Agreement, as amended hereby,
remains in full force and effect.
5
7. Counterparts. This Fourth Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and
any of the parties hereto may execute this Fourth Amendment by signing any such
counterpart.
