EX-10.2 2 dex102.htm AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO COMMITMENT AGREEMENT, DATED JUNE 29, 2004 Amendment No. 1 to Commitment Agreement, dated June 29, 2004

Exhibit 10.2

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO COMMITMENT AGREEMENT

 

As of June 29, 2004

 

To the Subscribers under the

Commitment Agreement referred to below

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to the Commitment Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2004, entered into by and among Oglebay Norton Company and the other parties (the “Subscribers”) signatory thereto (the “Agreement”). Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. The Company has agreed to amend the Agreement (1) to provide for the sale of an additional $5 million of Preferred Shares to those Subscribers having a Standby Commitment, (2) to change the date on which the non-completion of the Restructuring Transaction will become a Termination Event from August 31, 2004 to October 15, 2004, (3) to change the date prior to which the Registration Statement shall be declared effective from August 23, 2004 to September 23, 2004, (4) to reflect the fact that the filing of the Registration Statement does not require the Bankruptcy Court’s prior authorization, (5) to reflect the fact that the shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holders of the Subordinated Notes may be included in the Registration Statement, (6) to reflect the fact that no stockholders agreement shall be entered into among the Subscribers and the Company and that a registration rights agreement may be entered into among the Company and the Subscribers under certain conditions set forth herein, and (7) to amend the provision that releases from its rights and obligations under the Agreement any Subscriber that does not consent to the amendment of the Agreement. The total of $85 million of Preferred Shares will represent approximately 74.4% of the equity of reorganized Oglebay before dilution for the Management Options and the Warrants.

 

Upon receipt of the Requisite Subscribers’ consent as described herein, the Agreement shall be amended as follows:

 

1. Paragraph (D) of the Preliminary Statements of the Agreement shall be amended by adding thereto the following:

 

“In addition, the Company will issue and sell to those holders of Subordinated Notes having a Standby Commitment (as defined herein) and the Third Party Investors, and those holders of Subordinated Notes and Third Party Investors shall purchase, additional Preferred Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5 million.”


As of June 29, 2004

Page 2

 

2. The following sentence is added as the penultimate sentence of Section 1(a) of the Agreement:

 

“In addition to the Preferred Shares having an aggregate purchase price of $80 million that are subject to the Offering and notwithstanding the provisions of Exhibit A to this Agreement, each Noteholder having a Standby Commitment and each Third Party Investor agrees to purchase, and the Company agrees to issue and sell to such Noteholders and Third Party Investors, a pro rata portion of that number of Preferred Shares having an aggregate purchase price of $5 million, such pro rata portions to be based upon such Subscribers’ respective Standby Commitment Amounts.”

 

3. The references to “$80 million” in Section 1(b) of the Agreement and under “Offering of New Convertible Preferred Stock” in Exhibit A of the Agreement shall be deleted and replaced by “$85 million.”

 

4. The reference to “August 23, 2004” in Section 2 of the Agreement shall be deleted and replaced by “September 23, 2004.”

 

5. Sections 6(a)(xi) and (6(a)(xii) shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced by the following:

 

“(xi) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the holders of the Subordinated Notes in respect of the cancellation thereof in accordance with the Plan shall be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or shall be included in the Registration Statement; and

 

(xii) if requested by the Requisite Subscribers, the Company shall enter into customary registration rights agreement with any Subscribers or other persons who may be deemed to be underwriters providing demand and piggy-back registration rights, subject to customary restrictions, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Requisite Subscribers.”

 

6. Section 6(b)(i) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: “(i) [intentionally omitted].”

 

7. Section 7(a)(vii) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

 

“(vii) the Restructuring Transaction is not completed by October 15, 2004”


As of June 29, 2004

Page 3

 

8. The second sentence of Section 8 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment of this Agreement or any waiver or consent hereunder shall, unless in writing and signed by a Subscriber affected thereby, be effective as to such Subscriber to do any of the following: (i) increase or decrease the Commitment Amount or decrease the Commitment Fee of such Subscriber; (ii) decrease the percentage ownership specified under “Existing Senior Subordinated Notes” in Exhibit A to the Agreement; (iii) change the definition of “Required Subscribers”; or (iv) amend this Section 8 of the Agreement.”

 

9. In order to give effect to the increase from $80 million to $85 million the aggregate purchase price of the Preferred Shares to be purchased by the Subscribers in accordance with Section 1(a) of the Agreement, as amended hereby, the respective Commitment Amounts and Commitment Fees of those Subscribers listed on Schedule I attached hereto shall be increased to the respective Increased Commitment Amounts and Increased Commitment Fees set forth opposite the names of such Subscribers on Schedule I.

 

The delivery to the Company of this letter duly executed by you will evidence your agreement to the amendments to the Agreement set forth above. These amendments will become effective upon delivery to the Company of copies of this letter duly executed by the Requisite Subscribers. If the Company does not receive a copy of this letter duly executed by you, you will be deemed not to have consented to the proposed amendments set forth in this letter and will be released from all of your rights and obligations under the Agreement in accordance with Section 8.

 

The provisions of Section 14 of the Agreement relating to counterparts and facsimile signatures shall be applicable to this Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement.


As of June 29, 2004

Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

 

Very truly yours,
