On February 7, 2014, Helen of Troy Limited, a Bermuda company (the Company), and Helen of Troy, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (the Borrower), entered into that certain Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the Amendment) with Bank of America, N.A., and the other lenders party thereto. The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated December 30, 2010, by and among the Company, the Borrower and Bank of America, N.A., as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, the Borrower, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and the other lenders party thereto and that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, the Borrower, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the Credit Agreement).
The Amendment increases the unsecured revolving commitment of the Credit Agreement from $250 million to $375 million, subject to the terms and limitations described in the Credit Agreement. The Amendment also eliminated the maintenance of a minimum consolidated net worth financial covenant. Finally, the Amendment modified the limitation on the Companys ability to declare or pay cash dividends to shareholders or make stock repurchases. Specifically, the Company may declare or pay cash dividends to shareholders or make stock repurchases if, after giving effect to the dividends or share repurchases, the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is not greater than (i) 2.75 to 1.00 prior to the date that the compliance certificate for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2015 is required to have been delivered under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) 2.50 to 1.00 thereafter. The Amendment does not modify the terms of the Credit Agreement under which repayment may be accelerated or increased.

On February 7, 2014, the Company and certain of the Companys subsidiaries entered into that certain First Amendment to Guaranty Agreement (the Amended Guaranty) in favor of Bank of America, N.A.

The Companys financial covenants under the Amended Guaranty are consistent with the covenants contained in the Amendment.
The Amended Guaranty eliminated the maintenance of a minimum consolidated net worth financial covenant. The Amended Guaranty also modified the limitation on the Companys ability to declare or pay cash dividends to shareholders or make stock repurchases. Specifically, the Company may declare or pay cash dividends to shareholders or make stock repurchases if, after giving effect to the dividends or share repurchases, the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Guaranty) is not greater than (i) 2.75 to 1.00 prior to the date that the compliance certificate for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2015 is required to have been delivered under the Guaranty, and (ii) 2.50 to 1.00 thereafter.

Excluded Swap Obligation means, with respect to any Guarantor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the Guaranty of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any Guaranty thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantors failure for any reason to constitute an eligible contract participant as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act (determined after giving effect to Section 10.20 and any other keepwell, support or other agreement for the benefit of such Guarantor and any and all
guarantees of such Guarantors Swap Obligations by other Loan Parties) at the time the Guaranty of such Guarantor, or a grant by such Guarantor of a security interest, becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation. If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such Guaranty or security interest is or becomes excluded in accordance with the first sentence of this definition.
Qualified ECP Guarantor means, at any time, each Loan Party with total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or that otherwise qualifies at such time as an eligible contract participant under §1a(18)(A)(v) or (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act and Regulation 1.3(m) promulgated thereunder by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Specified Loan Party means any Loan Party that is not an eligible contract participant under the Commodity Exchange Act (determined prior to giving effect to Section 10.20 ).
Stock Repurchase Effective Date means the date of the closing of the cash tender offer commenced reasonably promptly after the Third Amendment Effective Date pursuant to which Limited shall make payment for the initial Treasury Stock Purchases in connection with such tender offer.
Third Amendment means that certain Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2014, among the Borrower, Limited, the Lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent.
Third Amendment Effective Date means the date that all of the conditions of effectiveness set forth in Section 3 of the Third Amendment have been satisfied.
(b) The second to last sentence in the definition of Applicable Rate set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Rate in effect from and after the Stock Repurchase Effective Date through and including the date the Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) for the first fiscal quarter ending after the Stock Repurchase Effective Date shall be no less than Level III.
(c) The definition of Obligations set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:
For avoidance of doubt, Obligations shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations.
(d) The definition of Swap Obligation set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
Swap Obligation means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a swap within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
(e) Section 7.06(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
(d) provided after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis the Leverage Ratio is not greater than (i) 2.75 to 1.00 prior to the date that the Compliance Certificate for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2015 is required to have been delivered and (ii) 2.50 to 1.00 thereafter, Limited may declare or pay cash Dividends to its stockholders and make Treasury Stock Purchases; provided , however , nothing in this clause (d) shall prohibit or restrict Treasury Stock Purchases made pursuant to Limiteds employee stock option repurchase programs; and

Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties and Affiliates of Loan Parties to preserve the allocations to Obligations and Guarantied Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.03 .
(h) Article X of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 10.20 thereto to read as follows:
10.20 Keepwell. Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guaranty by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantors obligations and undertakings under this Section 10.20 voidable under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.20 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations and the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.

C. The Guarantied Party hereby agrees to amend the Guaranty Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(a) Section 1 of the Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following defined terms thereto to read as follows:
Commodity Exchange Act means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq .), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute, as well as any rule promulgated thereunder by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Excluded Swap Obligation means, with respect to any Guarantor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the Guaranty of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any Guaranty thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantors failure for any reason to constitute an eligible contract participant as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act (determined after giving effect to Section 35 and any other keepwell, support or other agreement for the benefit of such Guarantor and any and all guarantees of such Guarantors Swap Obligations by other Loan Parties) at the time the
Guaranty of such Guarantor, or a grant by such Guarantor of a security interest, becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation. If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such Guaranty or security interest is or becomes excluded in accordance with the first sentence of this definition.
Qualified ECP Guarantor means, at any time, each Loan Party with total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or that otherwise qualifies at such time as an eligible contract participant under §1a(18)(A)(v) or (C) of the Commodity Exchange Act and Regulation 1.3(m) promulgated thereunder by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Specified Loan Party means any Loan Party that is not an eligible contract participant under the Commodity Exchange Act (determined prior to giving effect to Section 35 ).
Stock Repurchase Effective Date means the date of the closing of the cash tender offer commenced reasonably promptly after the First Amendment Effective Date pursuant to which Limited shall make payment for the initial Treasury Stock Purchases in connection with such tender.
First Amendment means that certain First Amendment to Guaranty Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2014, among the Guarantors and the Guarantied Party.
First Amendment Effective Date means the date that all of the conditions of effectiveness set forth in Section 3 of the First Amendment have been satisfied.
(b) The definition of Swap Obligation set forth in Section 1 of the Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
Swap Obligation means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a swap within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
(c) Section 8(f)(4) of the Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
(4) provided after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis the Leverage Ratio is not greater than (i) 2.75 to 1.00 prior to the date that the Compliance Certificate for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2015 is required to have been delivered and (ii) 2.50 to 1.00 thereafter, Limited may declare or pay cash Dividends to its stockholders and make Treasury Stock Purchases; provided , however , nothing in this clause (d) shall prohibit or restrict Treasury Stock Purchases made pursuant to Limiteds employee stock option repurchase programs; and
(d) Section 8(k)(1) of the Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
(1) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) Section 9 of the Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence to the end thereof:
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, Guarantied Obligations shall not include Excluded Swap Obligations.
(f) Section 14 of the Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph to the end thereto to read as follows:
Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Guarantors and Affiliates of Guarantors to preserve the allocations to Obligations and Swap Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 14 .
(g) The Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended by adding Sections 35 and 36 to the end thereof to read as follows:
SECTION 35. Keepwell. Each Guarantor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the guaranty by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantors obligations and undertakings under this Section 35 voidable under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 35 shall remain in full force and effect until the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Solely for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act, each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section 35 to constitute, and for such purposes this Section 35 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a keepwell, support, or other agreement for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party.
SECTION 36. Applicable Margin. The Borrower and the Guarantied Party hereby agree that notwithstanding anything set forth in the Indenture or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Applicable Margin in effect from and after the Stock Repurchase Effective Date through and including the date the Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 7(b)(2) for the fiscal quarter ending after the Stock Repurchase Effective Date shall be no less than Level III.
