Re:           Loan Arrangement with Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation, et al.







Dear Sir or Madam:







Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between, among others, (i) Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as a Borrower and as agent (in such capacity, the “Lead Borrower”) for the other Borrowers party thereto (collectively, with the Lead Borrower, the “Borrowers”), (ii) the other Borrowers party thereto, (iii) the Facility Guarantors party thereto (together with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”), and (iv) Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) (as amended and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).  All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning herein as in the Credit Agreement.


 


This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) is intended to set forth certain instruments, documents, and agreements (the “Supplemental Agreements”) which the Loan Parties are obligated to deliver to the Agent, and certain matters which must be satisfied, in connection with the Credit Amendment, but which have not been so delivered or satisfied as of the date hereof.  The Agent has waived delivery of the Supplemental Agreements and satisfaction of those matters as set forth on Exhibit “A”, annexed hereto, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Amendment, and to the obligation of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans or issue any Letters of Credit thereunder, but nevertheless requires that the Supplemental Agreements be delivered on or before the dates set forth on said Exhibit “A” (or such longer periods as may be determined by the Agent in its sole discretion).


 


The Lead Borrower, together with the other Loan Parties, each agree to deliver the Supplemental Agreements as and when required (which time periods may be extended in the sole discretion of the Agent) by this Agreement, all as more specifically described on Exhibit “A”, annexed hereto.  The Loan Parties further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall be a Loan Document for all purposes.


 


Please indicate the agreement of the Loan Parties with the terms of this letter by signing where indicated below.


 






  





  











  













 


Very truly yours,







BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Agent
