Exhibit 10.2

April 25, 2020

 

To: Joseph Zepf, General Counsel, Party City Holdco Inc.

Re: Temporary Reduction in Base Salary

 

Dear Mr. Zepf:

 

From and after April 26, 2020, I hereby agree that my annual base salary payable to me by Party City Holdco Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) will be reduced as described herein (the amount of such reduction, the “Reduction Amount”). This reduction will be effected by reducing the gross amount of each payment of my base salary by [__________] percent ([__]%), until the earlier of such time as (i) the Company decides to revert to the annual base salary I received immediately prior to April 26, 2020; (ii) the Company reopens at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its corporately operated brick and mortar retail store chain for regular operations (as compared to those stores which were open and operating as of February 1, 2020); or (iii) July 20, 2020. I hereby waive all rights that I would otherwise have with respect to the Reduction Amount. 

 

I understand that this waiver, once executed, cannot be revoked and that this waiver will be binding upon my heirs, executors and legal representatives. If for whatever reason I receive any portion of the Reduction Amount, I agree that I will promptly repay such portion to the Company. I also understand and agree that I have no right to require that the Reduction Amount be used for any particular purpose. 

 

This waiver will supersede any plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement that would otherwise provide for the payment of all or any portion of the Reduction Amount.  I further understand and agree that I will not become entitled to any severance or other termination payments or benefits, and that I will not at any time have “Good Reason” (or any similar right to terminate employment with rights to severance or any other termination payments or benefits) under any employment agreement, offer letter, severance agreement, equity award agreement or other agreement or arrangement with, or plan, program, or policy of, the Company, in any such case, solely by virtue of executing this waiver or being provided with the opportunity to execute this waiver.  The Reduction Amount will not be treated as reducing my annual base salary or any other element of compensation for purposes of calculating (i) my target annual bonus for 2020, (ii) my target Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) grant for 2020, or (iii) my potential severance or other similar termination payments or benefits under any employment agreement, offer letter, severance agreement, equity award agreement or other agreement or arrangement with, or any plan, program or policy of, the Company.  All subsidiaries of Party City Holdco Inc. are intended beneficiaries of this waiver. This waiver will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the principles of conflicts of law. This waiver may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Company and me. This waiver may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be treated as an

AGREEMENT

Amendments

.  The Transaction Term Sheet is hereby amended as follows:     

(a)The section of the Transaction Term Sheet entitled “Rights Offering” is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the bolded-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: bolded-underlined text) in the following provision:

Simultaneously with the launch of the Exchange Offer, Party City will initiate a “rights offering” (the “Rights Offering”) whereby Eligible Holders who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Existing Notes for exchange in the Exchange Offer will be provided the right (a “Right”) to purchase a pro rata portion of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes to be issued by the Issuer on the Settlement Date, such New Money First Lien Issuer Notes issued pursuant to the Rights Offering representing an aggregate principal amount of $50.041.5 million and with the terms set forth in Exhibit A hereto. If more than $50.041.5 million of Rights are subscribed in the Rights Offering, subscription amounts will be reduced on a pro rata basis.

[The remaining portion of the section of the Transaction Term Sheet entitled

(b)The section of the Transaction Term Sheet entitled “New Money First Lien Issuer Notes Financing; Backstop and Private Placement Agreement; Private Placement Commitment Agreement” is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the bolded-underlined text 

	
	 

	
1  
	
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Transaction Support Agreement.

 

 

 

(indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: bolded-underlined text) in the following provisions: 

Consenting Noteholders that wish to participate in the Rights Offering and purchase additional New Money First Lien Issuer Notes over and above the amount they may purchase in the Rights Offering (such parties identified on Schedule I hereto or in the Backstop Agreement and Private Placement Agreement (as defined below), as applicable, the “Backstop Parties”) will agree in the Transaction Support Agreement to, and will enter into a backstop and private placement agreement with Party City, the Issuer and their applicable subsidiaries prior to the Commencement Date (the “Backstop and Private Placement Agreement”), purchase $41.5 million of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes. Party City, the Issuer and the Consenting Noteholders shall work together in good faith to identify and sign up additional Backstop Parties to increase such commitment to $50.0 million of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes prior to the Commencement Date. If so increased, tThe Backstop and Private Placement Agreement will include a $50.041.5 million commitment by the Backstop Parties to purchase the amount of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes which may be issued in the Rights Offering, representing the aggregate amount the Backstop Parties may purchase in the Rights Offering plus an additional amount of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes which are otherwise available to be purchased in the Rights Offering but for which applicable Rights have not been exercised by other Eligible Holders.

Additionally, certain parties that do not own Existing Notes and that wish to purchase New Money First Lien Issuer Notes directly from the Issuer (such parties identified on Schedule II hereto or in the Backstop Agreement and Private Placement Agreement, as applicable, the “Private Placement Parties”) will also enter into the Backstop and Private Placement Agreement. The Backstop and Private Placement Agreement will include a commitment by such Private Placement Parties to purchase $40.058.5 million of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (the “Private Placement”). Prior to entering into the Backstop and Private Placement Agreement, the Private Placement Parties will enter into a private placement commitment agreement with Party City, the Issuer and their applicable subsidiaries concurrently with or prior to the execution of the Transaction Support Agreement (the “Private Placement Commitment Agreement”) with respect to the Private Placement. The Private Placement Commitment Agreement will be superseded by (but will not be inconsistent with) the Backstop and Private Placement Agreement, and the Private Placement Commitment Agreement and will cease to be of any effect upon the execution of the Backstop and Private Placement Agreement. Party City, the Issuer, the Consenting Noteholders and the Private Placement Parties shall work together in good faith to identify and sign up additional Private Placement Parties to increase such commitment to $50.0 million of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes prior to the Commencement Date.

The respective commitments to purchase New Money First Lien Issuer Notes in the Backstop and Private Placement Agreement, in each case assuming an increase to $50.0 million (to which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be $100.0 million in the aggregate), are collectively referred to as the “Commitments.” The purchase of $100.0 million of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes (i) by Eligible Holders pursuant to the Rights Offering and by the Backstop Parties of any unsubscribed amounts of the Rights Offering and (ii) by the Private Placement Parties in the Private Placement is together referred to herein as the “New Money First Lien Issuer Notes Financing.”

As consideration for entering into the Backstop and Private Placement Agreement and providing their respective Commitments, Party City will pay to each of the Backstop Parties (x) its pro rata portion of an aggregate premium of $5.0275 million in the form of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes plus (y) its pro rata portion of an aggregate premium of $5.0 million in the form of First Lien Party City Exchange Notes.

As consideration for entering into the Backstop and Private Placement Agreement (and, initially, the Private Placement Commitment Agreement, if applicable) and providing their respective Commitments, Party City will pay to each of the Private Placement Parties its pro rata an agreed portion of an aggregate premium of $5.04.725 million in the form of New Money First Lien Issuer Notes (the “Private Placement Fee”). Any additional consideration beyond the Private Placement Fee provided to the Private Placement Parties shall also be offered to the Backstop Parties.

(c)Schedule II to the Transaction Term Sheet entitled “Private Placement Parties” is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the bolded-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: bolded-underlined text):
