Exhibit 10.1
AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
This AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT is entered into as of this
23rd day of May, 1997 (this "Amendment") by and between WILSONS LEATHER HOLDINGS
INC., a Minnesota corporation ("Borrower"), GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL
CORPORATION, a New York corporation (in its individual capacity, "GE Capital"),
for itself, as Lender, as Swing Line Lender and as Agent for Lenders, and the
other Lenders signatory hereto. Unless otherwise specified herein, all
capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Borrower, GE Capital, certain Credit Parties and Lenders are
parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of May 25, 1996, as amended by that
certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated as of July 11, 1996 and that
certain Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement dated as of October 22, 1996 (as
further amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time,
the "Credit Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, Newco desires to enter into an agreement with its preferred
shareholders whereby all of Newco's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (the
"Series A Preferred") would be exchanged for 617,083 shares of Newco's common
stock (the "Preferred Stock Exchange"); and
WHEREAS, Newco is contemplating an initial public offering (the "IPO")
of units (the "Units") consisting of its common stock (the "IPO Stock") and
warrants to purchase its common stock (the "Warrants"), which offering would not
constitute a Qualified Public Offering; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the Preferred Stock Exchange, Borrower has
requested certain waivers by Lenders; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the IPO, Borrower and Lenders desire to
modify certain provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the capital
structure of Newco and issuance of its shares.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the
mutual agreements contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Lenders hereby waive any breach of the Credit Agreement that
may occur by reason of the Preferred Stock Exchange, and hereby acknowledge that
upon consummation of the Preferred Stock Exchange, Disclosure Schedule 3.8 to
the Credit
Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect the exchange of all of the
outstanding Series A Preferred for 617,083 shares of Newco's common stock.
2. Effective immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, for
purposes of any supplemental disclosure required by Section 5.6 of the Credit
Agreement, the second and third sentences of Section 3.8 shall be deemed to read
as follows:
All of the issued and outstanding Stock of each of Borrower, Parent
and Store Guarantors is owned by the stockholders and in the amounts set
forth on Disclosure Schedule 3.8. There are no outstanding rights to
purchase, options, warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to
which Borrower, Parent or any Store Guarantor may be required to issue,
sell, repurchase or redeem any of its Stock or other equity securities or
any Stock or other equity securities of its Subsidiaries.
3. Effective immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, Section
6.5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and in its place
the following is hereby inserted:
6.5 Capital Structure and Business. No Credit Party shall make any
changes in any of its business objectives, purposes or operations which
could in any way adversely affect the repayment of the Loans or any of the
other Obligations or could have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
None of Borrower, Parent or any Store Guarantor shall (a) make any change
in its capital structure as described on Disclosure Schedule 3.8 (including
a change in capital structure effected through the issuance of any shares
of Stock, warrants or other securities convertible into Stock or any
revision of the terms of its outstanding Stock), or (b) amend its charter
or bylaws in a manner which would adversely affect the Agent or Lenders or
Borrower's, Parent's or Store Guarantors' duty or ability to repay the
Obligations; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit a merger
or consolidation otherwise permitted by Section 6.1 hereof. No Credit
Party shall engage in any business other than the businesses currently
engaged in by it or businesses reasonably related thereto.
4. Effective immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, Section
6.8 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting that portion of
such Section 6.8 appearing after the caption and prior to "(a)" and inserting in
its place the following:
No Credit Party shall sell, transfer, convey, assign or otherwise
dispose of any of its properties or other assets, including the capital
Stock of any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their Accounts, other than as
permitted under Section 6.1 and
and (ii) adding the following at the end of such Section 6.8:
-2-
None of Borrower, Parent or any Store Guarantor shall sell or issue
any of its capital Stock (other than directors' qualifying shares) to any
person other than a Credit Party.
5. Lenders hereby acknowledge that they have received notice of the
corporate mergers and name changes described on Exhibit A hereto and that the
requirements of Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement with respect thereto have
been met.
6. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts with each such
counterpart considered an original and all such counterparts constituting one
and the same document. THE TERMS OF THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
ILLINOIS (EXCLUSIVE OF ANY RULES AS TO CONFLICT OF LAWS) AND THE LAWS OF THE
UNITED STATES APPLICABLE THEREIN. Except as specifically amended hereby, the
Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.
