AMENDMENT OF LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT OF LOAN AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is made as of this
3rd day of September, 2002, by and among CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. (the "Borrower"),
the lenders from time to time parties to the Loan Agreement defined below (the
"Lenders"), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (the
"Agent") for the Lenders.
Background:
A. The Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower entered into a Loan
Agreement dated as of April 30, 2001 (as heretofore modified and amended, the
"Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make Advances from
time to time to the Borrower.
B. The Borrower intends to acquire Crystal Creative Products, Inc. in a
transaction that would constitute a "Permitted Acquisition" under the Loan
Agreement. In connection therewith the Borrower wants to be able to borrow up to
an additional $50,000,000 under the Loan Agreement from an increase in the
Available Commitment which would be provided initially by PNC and which in turn
would be reduced by an amount equal to the proceeds of a proposed private
placement to be arranged with other institutional lenders. Accordingly, the
Borrower has requested an increase in the Available Commitment from $100,000,000
to $150,000,000 on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
C. As a result of the proposed increase in the Borrower's indebtedness
and other accounting changes, the Borrower has also requested and the Agent and
the Lenders have agreed to amend certain of the financial and other covenants in
the Loan Agreement, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for good and
valuable consideration, the legality and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as
follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein, including in the foregoing
recitals, and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Loan Agreement.
2. Amendments to Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended
effective as of September 3, 2002 (the "Effective Date") as follows:
(a) The definition of "Available Commitment" in Section 1.1 is amended and
restated to read in full as follows:
""Available Commitment": $100,000,000 as the same may be increased or
reduced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement."
(b) The definition of "Consolidated EBITDA" in Section 1.1 is amended and
restated to read in full as follows:
""Consolidated EBITDA": For any Person, for any period, the difference
between (a) the sum of the amounts for such period of (i) Consolidated
Net Income, plus (ii) Consolidated Tax Expense, plus (iii) Consolidated
Interest Expense, plus (iv) Consolidated Amortization Expense, plus (v)
Consolidated Depreciation Expense, plus (vi) all non-cash charges
resulting from the application of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142
(with respect to clauses (ii) through (vi) of this definition, to the
extent such amounts were deducted in computing Consolidated Net Income)
and (b) the amounts for such period of after-tax net gains on sales of
fixed assets and other after-tax extraordinary gains to the extent
included in Consolidated Net Income, excluding sales in the ordinary
course of business not to exceed $300,000 in the aggregate for any
fiscal year, all as determined on a consolidated basis for such Person
and its consolidated Subsidiaries."
(c) The following additional definitions are added to Section 1.1 in the
appropriate alphabetical order:
""Proposed Acquisition": The acquisition by the Borrower, directly or
indirectly, of all of the stock or substantially all of the assets of
the entity referred to in Schedule I attached hereto.
"Private Placement": The private placement of up to $50,000,000
principal amount of debt securities by the Borrower with institutional
lenders other than the Lenders made in connection with the Proposed
Acquisition."
(d) Section 2.3(b) is hereby amended and restated to read in full as
follows:
"(b)(i) The Borrower may at any time during the term of this Agreement,
subject to clause (d) of this Section 2.3, request a one-time increase
in the Available Commitment by sending a written notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent. Such notice shall specify the total amount of the
increase requested by the Borrower, which amount shall not exceed
$50,000,000 (the amount so requested being the "Available Commitment
Increase"). PNC shall have the sole right to increase its Pro Rata
Share by the amount of the Available Commitment Increase, which
increase (subject to compliance with the conditions of the first
sentence of this clause (i)) shall become effective at such time as
PNC, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall agree. The
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the date the Available
Commitment Increase becomes effective. Inasmuch as it is contemplated
that the Available Commitment Increase will be temporary and so as to
avoid interim adjustments to each Lender's pro rata portions of
outstanding Advances, until the earlier of (A) the 90th day following
an increase in the Available Commitment pursuant to this clause (i) and
(B) the date the Available Commitment is reduced as provided in clause
(ii) of this Section 2.3(b) (the "Interim Period"), notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, the Pro Rata Shares and Pro Rata
Percentages of the Lenders shall not change as they are applied to
Advances of any kind hereunder up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 and
each Lender including PNC shall be obligated to make or participate in
2
and be entitled to repayment and other rights in respect of all such
Advances based on its current Pro Rata Share and Pro Rata Percentage
otherwise in effect at such time. Any Advances in excess of an
aggregate of $100,000,000 shall be made solely from the increase in
PNC's Pro Rata Share resulting from the Available Commitment Increase
and PNC shall correspondingly have 100% of the entitlements to
repayment and other rights in respect of such Advances. Similarly,
during the Interim Period, Available Commitment Fees shall be
calculated separately in respect of the existing $100,000,000 Available
Credit for the pro rata benefit of all Lenders based on the Pro Rata
Percentages of the Lenders otherwise in effect at such time, and in
respect of the amount of the Available Commitment Increase for the sole
benefit of PNC. However, during the Interim Period, Majority Lenders
shall be determined based on the actual Pro Rata Shares of each Lender
(including and giving effect to the increase in PNC's Pro Rata Share
resulting from the Available Commitment Increase). At the expiration of
the Interim Period, if the Available Commitment has not been reduced as
provided in clause (ii) of this Section 2.3(b), then the Pro Rata
Shares and Pro Rata Percentages shall be adjusted for all purposes to
give effect to the Available Commitment Increase and the Administrative
Agent shall prepare and deliver to each Lender a substitute Annex I to
this Agreement setting forth the Pro Rata Shares and Pro Rata
Percentages of the Lenders as so adjusted and shall coordinate with the
Lenders the adjustment among the Lenders of all outstanding Advances in
a manner consistent with the Pro Rata Percentages as so adjusted and
none of the limitations or special provisions hereunder applicable
during the Interim Period shall thereafter apply.
(ii) If the Available Commitment is increased pursuant to clause (i) of
this Section 2.3(b), at the time the Borrower closes the Private
Placement, the Available Commitment shall be permanently reduced by an
amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of the proceeds of the
Private Placement and (y) the amount by which the Available Commitment
was increased pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.3(b) and, if the
proceeds of the Private Placement are less than the amount referred to
in clause (y) above, the Available Commitment may, at the Borrower's
option, also be reduced at such time by an additional amount up to the
amount of such difference, and the Borrower shall make any prepayments
of Advances to the extent required by the terms of Section 2.11(a) as a
result of such reduction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement regarding the application of any reduction in the Available
Commitment on a pro rata basis to each Lender's Pro Rata Share, any
reduction of the Available Commitment pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this clause (ii) shall be applied solely to reduce the
Available Commitment of PNC. At the time of any such reduction of the
Available Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender
thereof and, if necessary, prepare and deliver to each Lender a
substitute Annex I to this Agreement setting forth the Pro Rata Shares
and Pro Rata Percentages of the Lenders as adjusted to give effect to
such reduction, and coordinate with the Lenders the adjustment among
the Lenders of all outstanding Advances in a manner consistent with the
Pro Rata Percentages as so adjusted.
3
(iii) The Borrower shall deliver to PNC such replacement Revolving
Credit Notes as may be necessary from time to time to reflect any
increases or decreases in its Pro Rata Share of the Available
Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)."
(e) Section 6.11 is amended and restated in full as follows:
"6.11 Indebtedness. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it cause or
permit any of the Guarantors to (a) make any prepayments of any nature
whatsoever (or deposit money or other Property for the purpose thereof)
on any existing or future long-term Indebtedness to any Person except
the conversion of Indebtedness to equity so long as the entire amount
of the portion of the Indebtedness so prepaid is so converted or (b)
hereafter incur or be or become liable for Indebtedness except for (i)
Indebtedness to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) purchase
money financing supported by Liens permitted pursuant to Sections
6.3(a)(3) or 6.3(a)(5) above and Indebtedness secured by the existing
Liens described in Section 6.3(a)(4), (iii) Indebtedness permitted
under Section 6.4(b), (iv) Indebtedness under the notes issued in
connection with the Private Placement in a principal amount not
exceeding the lesser of (A) $50,000,000, and (B) the amount by which
$150,000,000 exceeds the Available Commitment at such time and (v)
additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount, together with
all obligations described in Section 6.5(f) herein, not exceeding
$20,000,000 at any one time outstanding."
(f) Section 7.3 is amended and restated to read in full as follows:
"7.3 Ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt to Consolidated Capitalization
The Borrower shall have and maintain at all times from and after the
Closing Date a ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt to Consolidated
Capitalization equal to or less than .50 to 1, except for the fiscal
quarters ending September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002 when such
ratio shall be equal to or less than .60 to 1."
3. Amendment to the Loan Documents. All references to the Loan Agreement in
the Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Loan Agreement as amended
hereby.
4. Ratification of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein contained or any claims of the parties to the contrary, the
Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower agree that the Loan Documents are in full
force and effect and each such document shall remain in full force and effect,
as amended by this Amendment and the Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms its
obligations thereunder.
