FLORISTS' TRANSWORLD DELIVERY, INC.
FIRST AMENDMENT AND WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
This First Amendment and Waiver to Credit Agreement (herein, the
"AMENDMENT") is entered into as of March 12, 2002, by and among Florists'
Transworld Delivery, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the "BORROWER"), IOS Brands
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "PARENT"), the Subsidiaries listed on
the signature pages hereof, as Guarantors, the several financial institutions
listed on the signature pages hereof, as Lenders, and Xxxxxx Trust and Savings
Bank, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
A. The Borrower, the Parent, the Guarantors, the Lenders, and the
Administrative Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of September 27,
2001 (the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"). All capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms have in the Credit
Agreement.
B. The Parent has notified the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
that it plans to enter into a reverse subsidiary merger pursuant to which (i) a
new corporation ("MERGER SUB"), will be incorporated under Delaware law, with
all of the capital stock of Merger Sub owned directly by the Borrower, (ii)
Merger Sub will merge with and into XXX.XXX, an existing direct subsidiary of
the Borrower, with XXX.XXX as the surviving corporation in such merger, and
(iii) all current shareholders of XXX.XXX other than the Borrower will receive
in such merger, in exchange for their shares of XXX.XXX, shares of the common
capital stock of the Parent, at an exchange ratio to be determined, with the
result that XXX.XXX will become a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Borrower
(the transactions described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii),
collectively, the "XXX.XXX MERGER TRANSACTION").
C. The Parent and the Borrower have requested that the Lenders consent
to the XXX.XXX Merger Transaction, and the Required Lenders are, concurrently
herewith, consenting to the XXX.XXX Merger Transaction pursuant to the terms set
forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
SECTION 1. CONSENT AND WAIVER.
By signing below, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth below, the Lenders hereby consent to the XXX.XXX Merger
Transaction, and waive any violations of the following Sections of Credit
Agreement which could or would otherwise be directly caused thereby, as well as
any Default or Event of Default which could or would otherwise result from such
violations, whether such violations occurred or would otherwise occur before, on
or after the date hereof: Sections 4.1 and 4.4 (which would otherwise require
Merger Sub to become a Guarantor and pledge its assets in support of the
Obligations and would require the Borrower to pledge the stock of Merger Sub in
support of the Obligations), Section 8.1 (which would
otherwise require that Merger Sub's existence be maintained), Section 8.9 (which
could require consent of the Required Lenders if the XXX.XXX Merger Transaction
were deemed to be an Acquisition), Section 8.10 (which allows mergers of
Subsidiaries but only into the Borrower or another Subsidiary, it being
acknowledged that XXX.XXX is specifically excluded from the defined term
"SUBSIDIARY" as defined in the Credit Agreement), Section 8.11 (which restricts
the transfer of stock of Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub), Section 8.17
(which requires consent of the Required Lenders to the formation of new
Subsidiaries), and Section 8.26 (which prohibits XXX.XXX from merging or
consolidating with or into any Person).
