Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc.
$100,000,000 Senior Subordinated Loan and Conversion Notes
SUMMARY OF TERMS
Issuer of Notes: Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc. (the "Company" or the
"Issuer").
Lender and Conversion Notes
Underwriter: Societe Generale or Societe Generale Securities
Corporation ("SocGen"), as determined by Societe
Generale.
Structure: Structured as a single facility with two parts,
the Initial Loan and its subsequent conversion
(the "Conversion") into the Conversion Notes under
certain circumstances as described in more detail
below. The Company expects that prior to the
issuance of the Conversion Notes, the Initial Loan
will be refinanced by any or all of the following:
bank debt, a public offering or private placement
of high yield senior subordinated or subordinated
securities or an initial public or private
offering of common equity of the Company or one of
its subsidiaries (the "Refinancing"). The Initial
Loan will convert to the Conversion Notes if such
Refinancing is not consummated and the Initial
Loan is outstanding as of January 31, 1998 (the
"Maturity Date") pursuant to the terms set forth
below.
Initial Loan
Title of Initial Loan: Senior Subordinated Loan.
Principal Amount: $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount.
Closing: Closing of the Initial Loan (the "Closing Date")
is expected to occur on or before December 20,
1996.
Maturity: The Initial Loan will mature on January 31, 1998
unless the Conversion has occurred. If the
Conversion occurs, the Initial Loan will be
converted to the Conversion Notes described below
on such date, provided that (i) there shall be no
default under the Initial Loan or any senior
indebtedness of the Issuer; (ii) all fees and
interest payable in connection with the Initial
Loan shall have been paid in full; and (iii) no
order shall be in effect enjoining the issuance of
the Conversion Notes.
Ranking: Senior subordinated, pursuant to subordination
provisions customary for high yield securities and
acceptable to SocGen. The Initial Loan will be
junior only to (i) the Company's existing senior
indebtedness as of the Closing Date and any
indebtedness which refinances such senior
indebtedness on substantially similar terms (the
"Senior Debt") and (ii) a basket of other senior
indebtedness in form, amount and terms
satisfactory to SocGen in all respects, and any
other future indebtedness will be junior to the
Initial Loan.
1
It is understood and agreed that the obligations
in respect of the Initial Loan and the Conversion
Notes, as the case may be, will be and remain
obligations of the same corporate entity as the
Senior Debt and that the Initial Loan and the
Conversion Notes will have the benefit of
subordinated guarantees from each entity
guaranteeing senior debt.
Interest Payment Dates: Quarterly, in arrears, commencing the three-month
after the Closing Date.
Interest Rate: LIBOR from time to time in effect plus 400 basis
points.
Interest on any overdue interest and principal
payments and on other amounts overdue on the
Initial Loan shall accrue at a rate of 200 basis
points in excess of the applicable rate determined
as provided above.
All interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Upfront Fee: 1.5% of the principal amount of the Initial Loan
shall be earned at Closing; however, 1.0% shall be
paid at Closing and the other 0.5% shall be paid
at the earlier of (i) the repayment of the Initial
Loan and (ii) the Maturity Date.
Drawdowns: On the Closing Date, the Company shall draw down
the entire $100,000,000 principal amount of the
Initial Loan.
Mandatory Redemption: Subject to the requirements of the Senior Debt
(including, without limitation, certain carveouts
to be agreed upon with respect to asset
sales and permitted investments), the Company
must repay the Initial Loan at 100% of principal
amount redeemed plus accrued interest to the
redemption date with proceeds from the Refinancing
or from certain asset sales to be mutually agreed
upon.
Principal amounts repaid under this mandatory
redemption provision may not be drawn down again.
Conversion Notes
Amount: Principal amount of the Conversion Notes will
equal 103.5% of the principal amount of the
Initial Loan for which they are converted.
Maturity: Five (5) years following the original issuance of
the Conversion Notes.
Interest Payment Dates: Semi-annually, in arrears, commencing six-months
after the issuance of the Conversion Notes.
2
Interest Rate: A rate fixed at the time of the issuance of the
Conversion Notes equal to the higher of (i) five
(5) year Treasuries plus 600 basis points and (ii)
the Bear Xxxxxxx High Yield Single B Index plus
175 basis points.
Interest on any overdue interest and principal
payments and on other amounts overdue on the
Conversion Notes shall accrue at a rule of 200
basis points in excess of the applicable rate
determined as provided above.
All interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Ranking: Same as the Initial Loan.
General Terms Applicable to the Initial Loan and the Conversion Notes
Optional Prepayment: The Initial Loan may be prepaid at the option of
the Company in whole or in part up to an aggregate
principal amount equal to $25 million plus accrued
interest to the prepayment date (see above).
Partial prepayments will be allowed only in whole
dollar amounts of at least $1,000,000 of principal
up to $25 million.
Principal amounts prepaid may not be drawn down
again.
The Conversion Notes will be non-callable for the
life of the issue.
Transferability: The Initial Loan and the Conversion Notes shall be
transferable, without restriction, by the
lender(s) or holder(s) thereof. See "Registration
Rights".
Registration Rights: The Issuer is required to file a registration
statement for the Conversion Notes by the date
that is 60 days prior to the Maturity Date. The
Issuer will then use its best efforts to cause to
become effective such registration statement for
the Conversion Notes as soon as practicable after
filing.
Representations: The Initial Loan agreement (the "Agreement") and
the Conversion Note indenture (which terms
includes any agreement, security documents or
other documents as SocGen may determine to be
appropriate to effect the transactions
contemplated hereby) will contain representations
and warranties by the Issuer to SocGen, including
affirmation of its intention to take all necessary
and deliberate actions to effect a Refinancing of
the Initial Loan as soon as practicable pursuant

following the resale of the Conversion Notes
in a registered offering to more than fifteen
holders
Events of Default: The Agreement (and, if executed, the indenture for
the Conversion Notes) will contain default
provisions satisfactory to SocGen, including, but
not limited to:

SocGen's underwriting commission (to be
determined at the time of Refinancing) shall be
reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of (i)

event such underwriting commission exceeds
$1,500,000, the Company selects SocGen to act as
lead manager of such an underwriting, and SocGen
earns at least 70% of the total commissions paid
for such underwriting, and SocGen shall reimburse
the Company for expenses incurred by the Company
