Exhibit 10.1
AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment”) is dated October 6, 2009
(“Effective Date”) between Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Borrower”) and Comerica Bank, a Texas banking association
(“Bank”).
Borrower and Bank entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of February 12, 2008,
as amended (“Credit Agreement”) providing terms and conditions governing certain
loans and other credit accommodations extended by Bank to Borrower
(“Indebtedness”). Borrower and Bank have agreed to amend the terms of the Credit
Agreement as provided in this Amendment.
Accordingly, Borrower and Bank agree as follows:
1. Capitalized Terms. In this Amendment, capitalized terms that are used without
separate definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit
Agreement.
2. Amendments. The Credit Agreement is amended as follows:
(a) The following terms are hereby added to the Defined Terms Addendum in the
correct alphabetical order:
     “Applicable Fee Percentage” shall mean one-half of one percent (0.50%) per
annum; provided, however, commencing with the first day of the first month
following the Borrower’s delivery of the financial statements required under
Section 4.3(b) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 (“Applicable Fee
Percentage Adjustment Date”), provided that, as of such fiscal year end and as
of the date of such delivery, there is no Default or Event of Default existing,
the Applicable Fee Percentage shall be reduced to three-eighths of one percent
(0.375%) per annum in the event Bank shall have received, together with the
required financial statements, evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to
Bank, which demonstrates that the Borrower’s Net Income for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2010 was greater than $0.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, if, prior to the payment and discharge in full (in cash) of the
Indebtedness hereunder and the termination of any and all commitments hereunder,
as a result of any restatement of or adjustment to the financial statements of
the Borrower (relating to the current or any prior fiscal period) or for any
other reason, Bank determines that the Applicable Fee Percentage as calculated
by Borrower as of the Applicable Fee Percentage Adjustment Date was inaccurate
in any respect and a proper calculation thereof would have resulted in a
different Applicable Fee Percentage for any fiscal period, then (x) if the
proper calculation thereof would have resulted in a higher Applicable Fee
Percentage for any such period, Borrower shall automatically and retroactively
be obligated to pay to Bank, promptly upon demand by Bank, an amount equal to
the excess of the amount of fees that should have been paid for such period over
the amount of fees actually paid for such period and, if the current fiscal
period is affected thereby, the Applicable Fee Percentage for the current period
shall be adjusted based on such recalculation; and (y) if the proper calculation
thereof would have resulted in a lower Applicable Fee Percentage for such
period, Bank shall have no obligation to recalculate such fee or to repay any
fees to Borrower.
(b) The following terms, which are defined in the Defined Terms Addendum
attached to the Credit Agreement, are given the following amended definition:

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     “Revolving Credit Maturity Date” shall mean April 6, 2011 or such earlier
date on which the Bank’s commitment to fund Loans and to issue Letters of Credit
hereunder is terminated pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, if any
such date is not a Business Day, then the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall
be the next succeeding Business Day.
     “Revolving Credit Note” shall mean the Master Revolving Note dated
October 6, 2009 in the original principal amount of $27,500,000 made by Borrower
payable to the order of the Bank, as the same may be amended, supplemented,
renewed, extended, modified, increased or restated from time to time.
(c) Section 4.3(g) of the Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
     “(g) within forty-five (45) days after and as of the end of each calendar
quarter, a Compliance Certificate dated as of the end of such quarter;”
(d) Section 5.17 of the Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
     “5.17 Acquire Fixed Assets. Acquire or expend for, or commit to acquire or
expend for, fixed assets by lease (including any Capitalized Lease Obligations),
purchase or otherwise, in an aggregate amount in excess of (i) $5,500,000 in the
Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2010, and (ii) $1,500,000 in any Fiscal Year
thereafter.”
(e) Section 1.1 of the Financial Covenants Addendum attached to the Credit
Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
     “1.1 Tangible Net Worth. Maintain a Tangible Net Worth as of the end of
each of Borrower’s fiscal quarters, to be tested as of the end of each such
fiscal quarter, not less the amount set forth below during the corresponding
period set forth below:

  (a)   Thirty Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($32,500,000) as of
June 30, 2009;     (b)   as of the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter, the
sum of:         (i) the amount of Tangible Net Worth that was required to be
maintained as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, plus      
  (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Net Income (if positive), for the fiscal
quarter ended as of the date of determination, plus one hundred percent of the
Fixed Asset Gain/Loss (if positive), for the fiscal quarter ended as of the date
of determination; plus         (iii) one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash
Proceeds from the issuance of any equity ownership interests during the fiscal
quarter ended as of the date of determination.”

(f) Section 1.8 of the Loan Terms, Conditions and Procedures Addendum attached
to the Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     “1.8 Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Bank an unused commitment
fee in an amount equal to the product of (a) the Applicable Fee Percentage as
multiplied by (b) the difference between (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment and
(ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans. Such
fee shall be computed on a daily basis and shall be payable quarterly in arrears
as of the end of each of Borrower’s fiscal quarters. Bank shall invoice Borrower
for such fees, which invoice shall be due and payable within fifteen (15) days
after receipt.”
3. Representations. Borrower represents and agrees that:
(a) Except as expressly modified in this Amendment, (i) the representations and
warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement and in each related document,
agreement, and instrument remain true and correct in all respects, except to the
extent that they expressly speak as of a specific prior date, and (ii) the
covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement continue to be satisfied in all
respects, and are legal, valid and binding obligations with the same force and
effect as if entirely restated in this Amendment.
(b) When executed, this Amendment will be a duly authorized, legal, valid, and
binding obligation of Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(c) There is no default continuing under the Credit Agreement, or any related
document, agreement, or instrument, and no event has occurred or condition
exists that is or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would be
such a default.
(d) Effective June 30, 2009, the following Guarantors have merged into Borrower,

requested by Bank pursuant hereto (including such documents as are necessary to
create and perfect Bank’s interest in the Collateral), each duly executed by
Borrower;

(c) such other documents and completion of such other matters as Bank may
reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, including those items set forth on the
Documentation Checklist attached hereto as Exhibit “A”; provided however, solely
as to item 8 on Exhibit “A” (Warehouse Agreement), Borrower shall only be
required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the signature of UPS
Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. (“UPS”), and Borrower’s inability to obtain such
signature will not cause this Amendment to be ineffective.
5. No Other Changes. Except as specifically provided in this Amendment, this
Amendment does not vary the terms and provisions of any note, mortgage, security
agreement, or other document, instrument, or agreement evidencing, securing or
relating to the Indebtedness or the Credit Agreement (“Loan Documents”). This

they remain in full force and effect.
7. Further Modification; No Reliance. This Amendment may be altered or modified
only by written instrument duly executed by Borrower and Bank. In executing this
Amendment, Borrower is not relying on any promise or commitment of Bank that is
not in writing signed by Bank. This Amendment shall not be more strictly
construed against one of the parties as compared to the other.
8. Confirmation of Lien Upon Collateral. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
Indebtedness and the individual advances under the Indebtedness are secured by
the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and that the Loan Documents
constitute valid, legal, and binding agreements and obligations of Borrower. The
Collateral is and shall remain subject to and encumbered by the lien, charge,
and encumbrance of any applicable Loan Document, and nothing herein contained
shall affect or be construed to affect the lien or encumbrance created by any
applicable Loan Document respecting the Collateral, or its priority over other
liens or encumbrances.

binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

of the date hereof Borrower has absolutely no defenses, claims, rights of
set-off, or counterclaims against Bank under, arising out of, or in connection
with, this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents and/or the
individual advances under the Indebtedness, or against any of the indebtedness
evidenced or secured thereby.
12. Expenses. Borrower upon request shall promptly pay all out-of-pocket fees,
costs, charges, expenses, and disbursements of Bank, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of this Amendment, and
