Exhibit 4.5




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, with
Borrower being the surviving entity: Accessory Design Group, Inc., Amity/Rolfs, Inc.,
TBAC-Acquisition, Inc., TBAC General Management Company, TBAC Investments, Inc., TBAC
Management Company L.P., TBAC-Mass Merchant Quality Control, Inc., TBAC — Prince Gardner,
Inc., Stagg Industries, Inc. and Superior Merchandise Company.



4. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to Bank’s receipt
of all of the following:





(a) this Amendment and such other agreements and instruments reasonably 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;




(b) payment to Bank of an amendment fee in the amount of $125,000; and




(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 Amendment shall not impair the rights, remedies, and
security given in and

and those of the Credit Agreement.




6. Ratification. Except for the modifications under this Amendment, the parties ratify and
confirm the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents and agree that 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.




9. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.




10. Governing Law. The parties agree that the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Michigan, without
regard to principles of conflicts of law.




11. No Defenses. Borrower acknowledges, confirms, and warrants to Bank that as 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 the other documents contemplated by this Amendment.




13. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by
separate parties on separate counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same
agreement.
