established by Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter which is the basis for such Reserve as determined by Agent in good faith. In the event that based on the calculation of the Borrowing Base by Agent at
the time, the establishment of a Reserve at such time will result in there being no Excess Availability at such time, Agent shall give Borrower Agent one (1) Business Day’s notice prior to establishing such new Reserves. Promptly upon the
receipt of such notice, Borrowers shall take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matters that is the basis for the Reserve no longer exists in a manner and to the extent satisfactory to Agent. In no event shall such notice

Borrowers and Guarantors shall also, at Agent’s request, designate Agent as the consignee on all bills of lading and other negotiable and non-negotiable documents. 

(i) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any issuer of a Letter of Credit Accommodation
to name such Borrower or Guarantor as the account party therein and to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit Accommodations and to accept and rely upon
Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations or the applications therefor. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant any Borrower or
Guarantor any right or authority to pledge the credit of Agent or any Lender in any manner. Agent and Lenders shall have no liability of any kind with respect to any Letter of Credit Accommodation provided by an issuer other than Agent or any Lender
unless Agent has duly executed and delivered to such issuer the application or a guarantee or indemnification in writing with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation. Borrowers and Guarantors shall be bound by any reasonable interpretation
made in good faith by Agent, or any other issuer or correspondent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodation or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such interpretation may be inconsistent with
any instructions of any Borrower or Guarantor. 
 (j) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and
is continuing, Agent shall have the right and authority to, and Borrowers shall not, without the prior consent of Agent, (i) approve or resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents, (ii) give any instructions as to acceptance or
rejection of any documents or goods, (iii) execute any and all applications for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery orders, (iv) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payments for, or time of presentation of,
any drafts, acceptances, or documents, and (v) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or documents,
drafts or acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in the Collateral. Agent may take such actions either in its own name or in any Borrower’s name. 

(k) At any time, so long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, a Borrower may, with
Agent’s consent, (i) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or documents, and (ii) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or
cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in the Collateral; provided, that, Borrowers
may approve or resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents following notice to Agent thereof and without Agent’s consent except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(i). 

(l) Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by any Borrower or Guarantor to any issuer or
correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement in favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been granted or undertaken by such

  

 36 








 
Borrower or Guarantor to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Any duties or obligations undertaken by Agent to any issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit
Accommodation, or any other agreement by Agent in favor of any issuer or correspondent to the extent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been undertaken by Borrowers and Guarantors to Agent for the ratable benefit
of Lenders and to apply in all respects to Borrowers and Guarantors. 
 (m) Immediately upon the issuance or
amendment of any Letter of Credit Accommodation, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation (including, without limitation, all Obligations with respect thereto). 

(n) Each Borrower is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated, without presentment, demand or protest, to pay to Agent
any amounts paid by an issuer of a Letter of Credit Accommodation with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation (whether through the borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(a) or otherwise). In the event that any
Borrower fails to pay Agent on the date of any payment under a Letter of Credit Accommodation in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, Agent (to the extent it has actual notice thereof) shall promptly notify each Lender of the unreimbursed
amount of such payment and each Lender agrees, upon one (1) Business Day’s notice, to fund to Agent the purchase of its participation in such Letter of Credit Accommodation in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the unpaid amount. The
obligation of each Lender to deliver to Agent an amount equal to its respective participation pursuant to the foregoing sentence is absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuance of any
Event of Default, the failure to satisfy any other condition set forth in Section 4 or any other event or circumstance. If such amount is not made available by a Lender when due, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from
such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the interest rate then payable by any Borrower in respect of Revolving Loans that are Prime Rate Loans as set forth in
Section 3.1 (a) hereof. 
 2.3 Intentionally Omitted. 

2.4 Commitments. The aggregate amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit
Accommodations shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, as the same may from time to time be amended in accordance with the provisions hereof. 

2.5 Loan Limits. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except in Agent’s determination, with the consent of
all Lenders, or as otherwise provided herein, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Borrowing Base. 

 

 37 








 (b) To the extent that the 10 3/8% Subordinated Note Indenture is in effect
and contains a limitation upon the amount of Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations (and, in each case, interest and fees thereon) that may be incurred hereunder by Borrowers other than Operating, then, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.1, 2.2, and 2.8) and the books and records of Lenders or Agent or any Borrower, (i) at any date, all Revolving Loans (and interest thereon) and Letter of Credit
Accommodations (and fees thereon) in excess of the amounts permitted to be incurred by Borrowers other than Operating in accordance with the 10 3/8% Subordinated Note Indenture (including amounts permitted under Section 4.09 of the 10 3/8%
Subordinated Note Indenture other than under subsection (i) thereof) are deemed made and shall be made solely to Operating and (ii) in no event at any date shall the amount of Indebtedness (as defined in the 10 3/8% Subordinated Note
Indenture) arising pursuant to Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrowers other than Operating exceed the amount thereof that such Borrowers (other than Operating) are permitted to incur at such time under the terms of the 10
3/8% Subordinated Note Indenture and (iii) Borrowers shall determine that the Indebtedness of Borrowers hereunder (other than Operating) is, and the Indebtedness of Borrowers hereunder (other than Operating) shall be deemed, permitted under
such subsections of Section 4.09 of the 10 3/8% Subordinated Note Indenture, other than subsection (i) thereof, to the extent that the amounts permitted under such other subsections are not otherwise then the basis for permitting
Indebtedness of Borrowers (other than the Indebtedness hereunder) and to the extent that such other subsections are applicable to the Indebtedness of Borrowers hereunder (other than Operating). The limitation on Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit
Accommodations of Borrowers other than Operating set forth in Section 2.5(b) above shall automatically be adjusted from time to time upon the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness (as defined in the 10 3/8% Subordinated Note Indenture)
permitted under the applicable subsections of Section 4.09 of the 10 3/8% Subordinated Note Indenture. 
 2.6 Mandatory
Prepayments. 
 (a) In the event that at any time (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving
Loans and the Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding exceed the Borrowing Base, or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding to all of Borrowers exceed the Maximum Credit, or
(iii) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations exceed the sublimit for Letter of Credit Accommodations set forth in Section 2.2(e) hereof, or (iv) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and Letter
of Credit Accommodations exceed the Maximum Credit, any such event shall not limit, waive or otherwise affect any rights of Agent or Lenders in such circumstances or on any future occasions and Borrowers shall, upon demand by Agent, which may be
made at any time or from time to time, immediately repay to Agent the entire amount of any such excess(es) for which payment is demanded. Except to the extent Agent is permitted to make certain additional Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit
Accommodations as provided in Section 12.8 hereof, Agent shall make such demand upon the request of the Required Lenders. 

(b) Without limiting any of the rights of Agent or Lenders pursuant hereto or otherwise, on each date when any reduction
in the Real Property Availability becomes effective pursuant to the terms hereof, regardless of the value of the Real Property, Borrowers shall, absolutely and unconditionally, automatically and without demand make a payment to Agent, for the
benefit of Lenders, in respect of the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans over the Borrowing Base as so reduced. 

 

 38 








 (c) Subject to Section 14.1 (c) and Section 3.3(d) hereof,
all such payments in respect of the Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be without premium or penalty. All interest accrued on the principal amount of the Revolving Loans paid pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be paid, or
may be charged by Agent to any loan account(s) of Borrowers, at Agent’s option, on the date of such payment. Interest shall accrue and be due, until the next Business Day, if the amount so paid by Borrowers to the bank account designated by
Agent for such purpose is received in such bank account after 12:00 noon, New York City time. 
 2.7 Intentionally
Omitted. 
 2.8 Joint and Several Liability. Subject to Section 2.5(b) hereof, all Borrowers shall be jointly
and severally liable for all amounts due to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder or the amount of
such Revolving Loans received or the manner in which Agent or any Lender accounts for such Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Subject to Section 2.5(b) hereof, all references
herein or in any of the other Financing Agreements to any of the obligation of Borrowers to make any payment hereunder or thereunder shall constitute joint and several obligations of Borrowers. The Obligations with respect to Revolving Loans made to
a Borrower, and the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder, with respect to Revolving Loans made to the other Borrowers, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such other Obligations
shall be primary obligations of all Borrowers. Subject to Section 2.5(b) hereof, the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations or
other extensions of credit made to the other Borrowers shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (a) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the Obligations of the other Borrowers or
of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (b) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from the other Borrowers, any Guarantor or any other security therefor, or
the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (c) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Agent or any Lender with respect to any provisions of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of the other
Borrowers, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrowers and delivered to Agent or any Lender, (d) the failure by Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest
in, or to preserve its rights and maintain its security or collateral for the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (e) the election of Agent and Lenders in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of
Section 1111 (b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (f) the disallowance of all or any portion of the claim(s) of Agent or any Lender for the repayment of the Obligations of the other Borrowers under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or
(g) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor or of the other Borrowers other than the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Agent or a Lender as determined pursuant to a final
non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint 
  


 39 








 
and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations or other extensions of credit made to the other Borrowers hereunder, each Borrower
waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or
Guarantor and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent or any Lender. Upon any Event of Default, and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, Agent may proceed directly and at once,
without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each
Borrower consents and agrees that Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshall any assets in favor of Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. 

2.9 Maximum Credit Increase. 

(a) Borrower Agent may, at any time, deliver a written request to Agent to increase the Maximum Credit. Any such written
request shall specify the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit that Borrowers are requesting, provided, that, (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of any such increase in the Maximum Credit cause the Maximum Credit to exceed
$250,000,000, (ii) such request shall be for an increase of not less than $10,000,000, (iii) any such request shall be irrevocable, and (iv) in no event shall more than one such written request be delivered to Agent in any calendar
quarter. 
 (b) Upon the receipt by Agent of any such written request, Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of
such request and each Lender shall have the option (but not the obligation) to increase the amount of its Commitment by an amount up to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Borrower Agent as set forth
in the notice from Agent to such Lender. Each Lender shall notify Agent within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice from Agent whether it is willing to so increase its Commitment, and if so, the amount of such increase;
provided, that, (i) the minimum increase in the Commitments of each such Lender providing the additional Commitments shall equal or exceed $2,000,000, and (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to provide such increase in its
Commitment and the determination to increase the Commitment of a Lender shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender. If the aggregate amount of the increases in the Commitments received from the Lenders equals or exceeds the
amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Borrower Agent, such increase shall be effective on the date five (5) Business Days after each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.9(c) have been satisfied or such earlier date
after such conditions have been satisfied as Agent may agree. If the aggregate amount of the increases in the Commitments received from the Lenders does not equal or exceed the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Borrower
Agent, Agent may seek additional increases from Lenders or Commitments from such Eligible Transferees as it may determine, after consultation with Borrower Agent. In the event Lenders (or Lenders and any such Eligible Transferees, as the case may
be) have committed in writing to provide increases in their Commitments or new Commitments in an aggregate amount in excess of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Borrowers or permitted hereunder, Agent shall then have the right to
allocate such commitments, first to Lenders and then to Eligible Transferees, in such amounts and manner as Agent may determine, after consultation with Borrower Agent. 
  


 40 








 (c) The Maximum Credit shall be increased by the amount of the increase in
Commitments from Lenders or new Commitments from Eligible Transferees, in each case selected in accordance with Section 2.9(a) above, for which Agent has received Assignment and Acceptances sixty (60) days after the date of the request by
Borrower Agent for the increase or such earlier date as Borrower Agent may request (such earlier date being referred to herein as the “Early Increase Date”) after five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent (but subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below), whether or not the aggregate amount of the increase in Commitments and new Commitments, as the case may be, equal or exceed the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by
Borrower Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, effective on the date that each of the following conditions have been satisfied: 

(i) Agent shall have received from each Lender or Eligible Transferee that is providing an additional Commitment as part
of the increase in the Maximum Credit, an Assignment and Acceptance duly executed by such Lender or Eligible Transferee and each Borrower, provided, that, the aggregate Commitments set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance(s) shall
be not less than $10,000,000; 
 (ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans set forth in
Section 4.2 shall be satisfied as of the date of the increase in the Maximum Credit, both before and after giving effect to such increase; 

(iii) Agent shall have received an opinion of counsel to Borrowers in form and substance and from counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Agent and Lenders addressing such matters as Agent may reasonably request (including an opinion as to no conflicts with other Indebtedness); 

(iv) such increase in the Maximum Credit on the date of the effectiveness thereof shall not violate any applicable law,
regulation or order or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority and shall not be enjoined, temporarily, preliminarily or permanently; 

(v) there shall have been paid to each Lender and Eligible Transferee providing an additional Commitment in connection
with such increase in the Maximum Credit all fees and expenses due and payable to such Person on or before the effectiveness of such increase; 

(vi) there shall have been paid to Agent, for the account of the Agent and Lenders (in accordance with any agreement among
them) all fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) due and payable pursuant to any of the Financing Agreements on or before the effectiveness of such increase. 

(d) In the event that Borrower requests that the Maximum Credit is increased on an Early Increase Date, and the aggregate
amount of the increases in the Commitments received from the Lenders and new Commitments from Eligible Transferees, as the case may be, as of the Early Increase Date (based upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth above) does not equal or
exceed the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Borrower Agent, the Maximum Credit may thereafter be increased again on the date that is sixty (60) days after the date of the original request by Borrower Agent for such
increase based on any additional increase in Commitments or new Commitments received by Agent (i) after the Early Increase Date but (ii) prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the date of such original request by Borrower
Agent for any such increase. 
  

 41 








 (e) As of the effective date of any such increase in the Maximum Credit,
each reference to the term Maximum Credit herein, and in any of the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed amended to mean the amount of the Maximum Credit specified in the most recent written notice from Agent to Borrower Agent of the increase
in the Maximum Credit. 
 SECTION 3. INTEREST AND FEES 

3.1 Interest. 

(a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, interest on the outstanding principal amount of
the Revolving Loans at the Interest Rate. All interest accruing hereunder on and after the date of any Event of Default or termination hereof shall be payable on demand. 

(b) Each Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower) may from time to time request Eurodollar Rate Loans or
may request that Prime Rate Loans be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or that any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request from a Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower) shall specify
the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of the Prime Rate Loans to be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to be continued (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be
applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after receipt by Agent of such a request from a Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower), such Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be made or Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be, provided, that, (i) no Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be
continuing, (ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement, (iii) such Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower) shall have complied with such customary procedures as are reasonably
established by Agent and specified by Agent to Borrower Agent from time to time for requests by Borrowers for Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) no more than eight (8) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, (v) the aggregate
amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (vi) Agent and each Lender shall have determined that the Interest Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate
is available to Agent and such Lender and can be readily determined as of the date of the request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by such Borrower. Any request by or on behalf of a Borrower for Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Prime Rate Loans to
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London
interbank market or other applicable Eurodollar Rate market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Agent and Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

 

 42 








 (c) Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate
Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Agent has received and obtained bank approval with respect to a request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in
accordance with the terms hereof. Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, at Agent’s option, upon notice by Agent to Borrower Agent, be subsequently converted to Prime Rate Loans on the effective date of the termination of this Agreement in the event
that this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon demand by Agent (or Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account of any Borrower) any amounts required to compensate any
Lender or Participant for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing. At the request of Borrower Agent, Agent shall provide to
Borrower Agent all available supporting documentation with respect to such loss, cost or expense. No loss, cost or expense will arise upon the conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. 
 (d) Interest shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent, for the account of Lenders, monthly
in arrears not later than the first day of each calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. The interest rate on non-contingent Obligations (other than Eurodollar Rate
Loans) shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the first day of the month after any change in such Prime Rate is announced based on the Prime Rate in effect on the last day of the
month in which any such change occurs. In no event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrowers to Agent and Lenders exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and if any such part or
provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto. 

3.2 Fees. 

(a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, monthly an unused line fee at a rate equal to the percentage
(on a per annum basis) set forth below calculated upon the amount by which the Maximum Credit exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations during the immediately preceding month
(or part thereof) while the Loan Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any Obligations are outstanding. Such fee shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears. The percentage used for determining the unused line fee shall
be as set forth below if the Quarterly Average Excess Availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is at or within the amounts indicated for such percentage: 

 

				
	 Quarterly Average Excess Availability
	  	Unused Line
Fee Percentage	 
	 Greater than $55,000,000
	  	.375	% 
	 Less than or equal to $55,000,000 and greater than $40,000,000
	  	.375	% 
	 Less than or equal to $40,000,000 and greater than $20,000,000
	  	.250	% 
	 Less than $20,000,000 or equal to $20,000,000
	  	.250	% 

  

 43 








 provided, that, the unused line fee percentage shall be calculated and established based on
the foregoing once each fiscal quarter. Such unused line fee percentage shall be used commencing on the date hereof based on the Quarterly Average Excess Availability during the fiscal quarter of Borrowers ending immediately prior to the date hereof

 (b) Borrowers agree to pay to Agent the other fees and amounts set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and
at all times specified therein. 
 3.3 Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Revolving Loans. 

(a) If after the date hereof, either (i) any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation is
introduced, including, without limitation, with respect to reserve requirements, applicable to Agent or any banking or financial institution from whom any Lender borrows funds or obtains credit (a “Funding Bank”), or (ii) a Funding
Bank or any Lender complies with any future guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (iii) a Funding Bank or any Lender determines that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof has or would have the
effect described below, or a Funding Bank or any Lender complies with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, and in the case of any event
set forth in this clause (iii), such adoption, change or compliance has or would have the direct or indirect effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which
such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Funding Bank’s or Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, and the
result of any of the foregoing events described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) is or results in an increase in the cost to any Lender of funding or maintaining the Revolving Loans, the Letter of Credit Accommodations or its Commitment, then
Borrowers and Guarantors shall from time to time upon demand by Agent pay to Agent additional amounts sufficient to indemnify Lenders against such increased cost on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in
respect of the amount indemnified). A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be submitted to Borrower Agent by Agent and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

 

 44 








 (b) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (i) Agent shall
have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers and Guarantors) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, (ii) Agent has received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of
making or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans during such Interest Period, or (iii) Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to which such Interest Period is to be applicable are not generally available in the London
interbank market, Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower Agent as soon as practicable thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to Borrower Agent when such conditions no longer exist. If such notice is given
(A) any Eurodollar Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Prime Rate Loans, (B) any Revolving Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or
continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued as Prime Rate Loans and (C) each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period thereof, to Prime Rate Loans. Until
such notice has been withdrawn by Agent, no further Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower) have the right to convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule or
regulation or final, non-appealable determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Agent or any Lender to make or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) Agent or such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to Borrower Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist),
(ii) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, continue Eurodollar Rate Loans as such and convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be
unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a Prime Rate Loan when a Eurodollar Rate Loan is requested and (iii) such Lender’s Revolving Loans then outstanding
as Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Revolving Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any
such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrowers and Guarantors shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to
Section 3.3(d) below. 
 (d) Borrowers and Guarantors shall indemnify Agent and each Lender and hold Agent
and each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or extension of Eurodollar Rate Loans after such Borrower
(or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower) has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement, (ii) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan after such Borrower
has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans on 

 

 45 








 
a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. With respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or extended, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or extend to the last day of the

(a) Each Borrower and Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Agent (or its agent) to file at any time and
from time to time such financing statements with respect to the Collateral naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor as debtor, as Agent may require, and including any other information with respect to such
Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction as Agent may determine, together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which authorization shall apply to all
financing statements filed on, prior to or after the date hereof. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby ratifies and approves all financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, as
debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of Agent prior to the date hereof and ratifies and confirms the authorization of Agent to file such financing statements (and
amendments, if any). Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby authorizes Agent to adopt on behalf of such Borrower and Guarantor any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the collateral in any
financing statement naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and any Borrower or Guarantor as debtor includes assets and properties of such Borrower or Guarantor that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether

  

 49 








 
hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Borrower or Guarantor to the extent of
the Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall any Borrower or
Guarantor at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming Agent or its designee as secured party
and such Borrower or Guarantor as debtor. 
 (b) Each Borrower and Guarantor does not have any chattel paper
(whether tangible or electronic) or instruments as of the date hereof, except as set forth in the Information Certificate. In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall be entitled to or shall receive any chattel paper or instrument after the
date hereof, Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor (including by any agent or representative), such Borrower or Guarantor shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent, all tangible chattel paper and instruments that such Borrower or Guarantor has or may at any time acquire, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Agent may from
time to time specify, in each case except as Agent may otherwise agree. At Agent’s option, each Borrower and Guarantor shall, or Agent may at any time on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor, cause the original of any such instrument or chattel
paper to be conspicuously marked in a form and manner acceptable to Agent with the following legend referring to chattel paper or instruments as applicable: “This [chattel paper] [instrument] is subject to the security interest of Congress
Financial Corporation and any sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance of this [chattel paper] [instrument] violates the rights of such secured party.” 

(c) In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall at any time hold or acquire an interest in any electronic chattel
paper or any “transferable record” (as such term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any
relevant jurisdiction), such Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon Agent’s request, such Borrower or Guarantor shall take, or cause to be taken, such actions as Agent may reasonably request to give
Agent control of such electronic chattel paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC and control of such transferable record under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be,
Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction. 
 (d) Each
Borrower and Guarantor does not have any deposit accounts as of the date hereof, except as set forth in the Information Certificate. Borrowers and Guarantors shall not, directly or indirectly, after the date hereof open, establish or maintain any
deposit account unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) Agent shall have received not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the intention of any Borrower or Guarantor to open or establish such account
which notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity reasonably acceptable to Agent the name of the account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the bank at which such account is to be opened or established, the individual
at such bank with whom such Borrower or Guarantor is dealing and the purpose of the account, except as to any Store Account opened or established after the date hereof, so long as no Event of

  

 50 








 
Default shall exist or have occurred, Agent shall only have received such information as to such Store Account on the next monthly report with respect to deposit accounts in accordance with
Section 7.1 (a) hereof, (ii) the bank where such account is opened or maintained shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent, and (iii) on or before the opening of such deposit account (other than as to a Store Account so long as no
Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing), such Borrower or Guarantor shall as Agent may specify either (A) deliver to Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such deposit account duly authorized,
executed and delivered by such Borrower or Guarantor and the bank at which such deposit account is opened and maintained or (B) arrange for Agent to become the customer of the bank with respect to the deposit account on terms and conditions
reasonably acceptable to Agent. The terms of this subsection (d) shall not apply to deposit accounts specifically and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any
Borrower’s or Guarantor’s salaried employees or the escrow of security deposits with respect to Real Property subject to lease. 

(e) No Borrower or Guarantor owns or holds, directly or indirectly, beneficially or as record owner or both, any
investment property, as of the date hereof, or have any investment account, securities account, commodity account or other similar account with any bank or other financial institution or other securities intermediary or commodity intermediary as of
the date hereof, in each case except as set forth in the Information Certificate. 
 (i) In the event that any
Borrower or Guarantor shall be entitled to or shall at any time after the date hereof hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to Agent, for itself and the benefit of
Lenders, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities, now or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or Guarantor are uncertificated and are issued to such
Borrower or Guarantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Borrower or Guarantor shall immediately notify Agent thereof and shall as Agent may specify, either (A) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from Agent
as to such securities, without further consent of any Borrower or Guarantor or such nominee, or (B) arrange for Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. 

(ii) Borrowers and Guarantors shall not, directly or indirectly, after the date hereof open, establish or maintain any
investment account, securities account, commodity account or any other similar account (other than a deposit account) with any securities intermediary or commodity intermediary unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: (A) Agent
shall have received not less than two (2) Business Days prior written notice of the intention of such Borrower or Guarantor to open or establish such account which notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity acceptable to Agent
the name of the account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary at which such account is to be opened or established, the individual at such intermediary with whom such Borrower or
Guarantor is dealing and the purpose of the account, (B) the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary (as the case may be) where such account is opened or maintained shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent, and (C) on or before
the opening of such investment account, securities account or other similar account with a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, such Borrower or Guarantor shall as Agent 

 

 51 








 
may specify either (1) execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered to Agent, an Investment Property Control Agreement with respect thereto duly authorized, executed and
delivered by such Borrower or Guarantor and such securities intermediary or commodity intermediary or (2) arrange for Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property on terms and conditions acceptable to Agent.

 (f) Borrowers and Guarantors are not the beneficiary or otherwise entitled to any right to payment under any
letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument as of the date hereof, except as set forth in the Information Certificate. In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall be entitled to or shall receive any right to payment under
any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or any similar instrument with a face amount in excess of $500,000, whether as beneficiary thereof or otherwise after the date hereof, such Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly notify Agent thereof in
writing. Such Borrower or Guarantor shall immediately, as Agent may specify, either (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent, with respect to any such letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument, the written agreement
of the issuer and any other nominated person obligated to make any payment in respect thereof (including any confirming or negotiating bank), in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, consenting to the assignment of the proceeds of the letter of
credit to Agent by such Borrower or Guarantor and agreeing to make all payments thereon directly to Agent or as Agent may otherwise direct or (ii) cause Agent to become, at Borrowers’ expense, the transferee beneficiary of the letter of
credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument (as the case may be). 
 (g) Borrowers and Guarantors do
not have any commercial tort claims as of the date hereof, except as set forth in the Information Certificate. In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims in excess of
$1,000,000, such Borrower or Guarantor (or Borrower Agent) shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, which notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and nature of such commercial tort claim and (ii) include the
express grant by such Borrower or Guarantor to Agent of a security interest in such commercial tort claim (and the proceeds thereof). In the event that such notice does not include such grant of a security interest, the sending thereof by such
Borrower or Guarantor to Agent shall be deemed to constitute such grant to Agent. Upon the sending of such notice, any commercial tort claim described therein shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall be deemed included therein. Without
limiting the authorization of Agent provided in Section 5.2(a) hereof or otherwise arising by the execution by such Borrower or Guarantor of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized from
time to time and at any time to file such financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor as debtor, or any amendments to any financing statements, covering any such commercial tort claim as
Collateral. In addition, each Borrower and Guarantor shall promptly upon Agent’s request, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Agent such other agreements, documents and instruments as Agent may require in connection
with such commercial tort claim.

 52 








 In the event that any goods, documents of title or other Collateral are at any time after the date hereof in
the custody, control or possession of any other person not referred to in the Information Certificate or such carriers, Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon Agent’s request, Borrowers and
Guarantors shall deliver to Agent a Collateral Access Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by such person and the Borrower or Guarantor that is the owner of such Collateral. 

(i) Borrowers and Guarantors shall take any other actions reasonably requested by Agent from time to time to cause the
attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of Agent in any and all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing
financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC or other applicable law, to the extent, if any, that any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) causing Agent’s name to be noted
as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of Agent in such Collateral (other than motor vehicles, if
any), (iii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce,
the security interest of Agent in such Collateral, (iv) obtaining the consents and approvals of any Governmental Authority or third party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on
Collateral, and taking all actions required by any earlier versions of the UCC or by other law, as applicable in any relevant jurisdiction.

6.1 Borrowers’ Loan Accounts. Agent, for and on behalf of Lenders, shall maintain one or more loan account(s) on its books in
which shall be recorded (a) all Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and other Obligations and the Collateral, (b) all payments made by or on behalf of Borrowers and (c) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided
in this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees, charges, costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the loan account(s) shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary practices as in effect from time to time. 

6.2 Statements. Agent shall render to Borrower Agent, as agent for Borrowers, each month a statement setting forth the balance in
Borrowers’ loan account(s) maintained by Agent for Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Agent but
shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrowers and Guarantors and conclusively binding upon Borrowers and Guarantors as an account stated except to the extent that Agent receives a written
notice from Borrower Agent of any specific exceptions of Borrower Agent thereto within sixty (60) days after the date such statement has been received by Borrower Agent. Until such time as Agent shall have rendered to any Borrower or Borrower
Agent, a written statement as provided above, the balance in a Borrower’s loan account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent by Borrowers. 

 

 53 








 6.3 Collection of Accounts. 

(a) Each Borrower and Guarantor shall establish and maintain, at its expense, deposit account arrangements and merchant
payment arrangements with the banks set forth on Schedule 8.10 to the Information Certificate and subject to Section 5.2(d) hereof such other banks as such Borrower or Guarantor may hereafter select. The banks set forth on Schedule 8.10 to the
Information Certificate constitute all of the banks with which Borrowers and Guarantors have deposit account arrangements and merchant payment arrangements as of the date hereof and identifies each of the deposit accounts at such banks that are used
solely for receiving store receipts from a retail store location of a Borrower (together with any other deposit accounts at any time established or used by any Borrower for receiving such store receipts from any retail store location, collectively,
the “Store Accounts” and each individually, a “Store Account”) or otherwise describes the nature of the use of such deposit account by such Borrower. 

(i) Each Borrower shall deposit all proceeds from sales of Inventory in every form, including, without limitation, cash,
checks, credit card sales drafts, credit card sales or charge slips or receipts and other forms of daily store receipts, from each retail store location of such Borrower on each Business Day into the Store Account of such Borrower used solely for
such purpose. All such funds deposited into the Store Accounts shall be sent by wire transfer or other electronic funds transfer no less frequently than weekly or more frequently upon Agent’s request at any time that an Event of Default exists
or has occurred and is continuing to the Blocked Accounts as provided in Section 6.3(a)(ii) below, except nominal amounts which are required to be maintained in such Store Accounts under the terms of such Borrower’s arrangements with the
bank at which such Store Accounts are maintained, which nominal amounts shall not exceed $5,000 as to any individual Store Account at any time. 

(ii) Each Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its expense, deposit accounts with such banks as are reasonably
acceptable to Agent (the “Blocked Accounts”) into which each Borrower shall promptly either cause all amounts on deposit in the Store Accounts of such Borrower to be sent as provided in Section 6.3(a)(i) above or shall itself deposit
or cause to be deposited all proceeds from sales of Inventory, all amounts payable to each Borrower from Credit Card Issuers and Credit Card Processors and all other proceeds of Collateral. Borrowers and Guarantors shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered to Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where a Blocked Account is maintained as provided in Section 5.2 hereof or at any time and from time to time Agent may become the
bank’s customer with respect to any of the Blocked Accounts and promptly upon Agent’s request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver such agreements and documents as Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith. Each Borrower and
Guarantor agrees that all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Agent or any Lender, whether in respect of the Receivables, as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be treated as
payments to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of Agent and Lenders to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations. 

(b) For purposes of calculating the amount of the Revolving Loans available to each Borrower and for purposes of
calculating interest on the Obligations, such payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations on the Business Day of receipt by 

 

 54 








 
Agent of immediately available funds in the Agent Payment Account provided such payments and notice thereof are received in accordance with Agent’s usual and customary practices as in effect
from time to time and within sufficient time to credit such Borrower’s loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day. 

(c) Each Borrower and Guarantor and their respective shareholders, directors, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or other
Affiliates shall, acting as trustee for Agent, receive, as the property of Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral which come into their possession or under their
control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Agent. In no event shall the same be commingled with a
Borrower’s own funds. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse Agent and Lenders on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked Account is established or any other bank or person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the
Blocked Accounts arising out of the payments by Agent or any Lender to or indemnification of such bank or person in connection with such Blocked Account or any amounts received therein or transferred therefrom. The obligation of Borrowers to
reimburse Agent and Lenders for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. 

(d) On or before April 30, 2005, (i) Borrowers and Guarantors shall use reasonable efforts to execute and
deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered to, Agent the Deposit Account Control Agreements by and among Agent, each Borrower and Guarantor, as the case may be, and Wachovia Bank, National Association as to any deposit account of a Borrower or
Guarantor maintained at such bank and (ii) Borrowers and Guarantors shall execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered to Agent, the Deposit Account Control Agreements or Investment Property Control Agreements by and among Agent,
each Borrower and Guarantor, as the case may be, at each other bank or other institution where such Borrower (or Guarantor) has a deposit account or investment account for which it is required to obtain a Deposit Account Control Agreement pursuant
to Section 6.3 hereof or an Investment Property Control Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(e) or otherwise, in each case, duly authorized, executed and delivered by such bank and Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be. 

6.4 Payments. 

(a) All Obligations shall be payable to the Agent Payment Account as provided in Section 6.3 or such other place as
Agent may designate from time to time. Agent shall apply payments received or collected from any Borrower or Guarantor or for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any
Collateral) as follows: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to Agent and Lenders from any Borrower or Guarantor; second, to pay interest due in respect of any Revolving Loans (and including any
Special Agent Advances); third, to pay or prepay principal in respect of Special Agent Advances; fourth, to pay principal due in respect of the Revolving Loans and to pay any Obligations then due arising under or pursuant to any Hedge
Agreements of a Borrower or Guarantor with Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other financial institution acceptable to Agent (up to the amount of any then effective Reserve established in respect of such Obligations), on a
pro rata basis; fifth, to pay or prepay 
  

 55 








 
any other Obligations consisting of Revolving Loans, whether or not then due, and any other Obligations then due, in each case in such order and manner as Agent determines or on and after an
Event of Default, to be held as cash collateral in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations or other contingent Obligations (but not including for this purpose any Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Hedge Agreements) and
sixth, to pay any Obligations then due arising under or pursuant to Hedge Agreements (other than to the extent provided for above) on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
(i) unless so directed by Borrower Agent, or unless a Default or an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall not apply any payments which it receives to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, except (A) on the
expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Rate Loans or (B) in the event that there are no outstanding Prime Rate Loans and (ii) to the extent any Borrower uses any proceeds of the Revolving Loans or Letter
of Credit Accommodations to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral, payments in respect of the Obligations shall be deemed applied first to the Obligations
arising from Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations that were not used for such purposes and second to the Obligations arising from Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in
or the use of any Collateral in the chronological order in which such Borrower acquired such rights in or the use of such Collateral. So long as no Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing and there is Excess Availability
after giving effect thereto, amounts received by Agent from Borrowers pursuant to this Section 6.4(a) that are not applied to the Obligations in accordance herewith shall, at the request of Borrower Agent received by Agent on or before 12:00
noon New York City time on any Business Day, be remitted to Borrower Agent or any Borrower as Agent may direct. 

(b) At Agent’s option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in this
Agreement or the other Financing Agreements may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of any Borrower maintained by Agent. 

(c) Except as otherwise required by law, any and all payments by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor hereunder and
under any other Financing Agreement shall be made, in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Indemnified Taxes. In addition, Borrowers agree to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes. 
 (d) If any Borrower or Guarantor shall be required by law to
deduct or withhold in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Agent or any Lender, then: 

(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings
(including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Lender (or Agent on behalf of such Lender) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been
made; 
  

 56 








 (ii) such Borrower or Guarantor shall make such deductions and withholdings;

 (iii) such Borrower or Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and 
 (iv) to the extent not paid to Agent and
Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, such Borrower or Guarantor shall also pay to Agent or any Lender, at the time interest is paid, all additional amounts which Agent or any Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender
would have received if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed. 
 (e) Within thirty
(30) days after the date of any payment by any Borrower or Guarantor of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, upon Agent’s request, such Borrower or Guarantor shall furnish to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent. 
 (f) Borrowers will indemnify
Agent and each Lender (or Transferee) for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes paid by Agent or such Lender (or Transferee, as the case may be). If Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes for which Lender (or Transferee) has received payment from any Borrower or Guarantor hereunder, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be)
shall credit to the loan account of Borrowers the amount of such refund plus any interest received (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers or Guarantors under this Section 6.4 with respect to
the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund). If a Lender (or any Transferee) claims a tax credit in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or Guarantors pursuant to this
Section 6.4, such Lender will apply the amount of the actual dollar benefit received by such Lender as a result thereof, as reasonably calculated by Lender and net of all expenses related thereto, to the Revolving Loans. If Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, Agent or such Lender shall, upon Borrower Agent’s request and at Borrowers’ expense, provide such documents to Borrower Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to both
Borrower Agent and Agent, as Borrower Agent may reasonably request, to enable Borrowers to contest such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to appropriate proceedings then available to such Borrower (so long as providing such documents shall
not, in the good faith determination of Agent, have a reasonable likelihood of resulting in any liability of Agent or any Lender). 

(g) If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, Agent
or any Lender is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender. Borrowers and Guarantors shall be liable to pay to Agent, and do hereby indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless for the amount of any payments
or proceeds surrendered or 
  

 57 








 
returned. This Section 6.4(g) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This
Section 6.4 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (h) Each
Foreign Lender, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement, or on or prior to the date on which it first becomes a Lender in the case of each Transferee, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by
Borrower Agent or the Agent, shall provide Borrower Agent and Agent with (i) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Foreign
Lender is entitled to benefits under any income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces to zero the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest, or (ii) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Each Foreign Lender (or
Transferee) also agrees to deliver to Borrower Agent and Agent two further copies of Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable forms on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
(including, without limitation, a change in such Foreign Lender’s (or Transferee’s) lending office) requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower Agent and Agent, and to obtain such extensions of the
time for filing and to renew such forms as may reasonably be requested by Borrower Agent or Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4(h), no Foreign Lender (or Transferee) shall be required to deliver or provide any
form pursuant to this Section 6.4 if such Foreign Lender (or Transferee) is not then legally able to do so as a result of a Change in Law that occurs following the date such Foreign Lender (or Transferee) becomes a party hereto. From time to
time if requested in writing by Borrower Agent, Agent shall provide Borrower Agent with Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this
Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Each Lender or Transferee that is a “United States person, “ as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, and that is not a
corporation, agrees that it will deliver to Borrower Agent and Agent a Form W-9 stating that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. 

6.5 Authorization to Make Revolving Loans. Agent and Lenders are authorized to make the Loans and provide the Letter of Credit
Accommodations based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer of Borrower Agent or any Borrower or other authorized person or, at the discretion of Agent, if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any
Obligations. All requests for Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested advance is to be made or Letter of Credit Accommodations established (which day shall be a Business Day) and the
amount of the requested Revolving Loan. Requests received after 12:00 noon New York City time on any day shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. All Revolving Loans and Letter of
Credit Accommodations under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, any Borrower or Guarantor when deposited to the credit of any Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise disbursed
or established in accordance with the instructions of any Borrower or Guarantor or in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
  

 58 








 6.6 Use of Proceeds. All Revolving Loans made or Letter of Credit Accommodations
provided to or for the benefit of any Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by such Borrower only for general operating, working capital and other corporate purposes of such Borrower not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof.
None of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin
security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Revolving Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. 

6.7 Appointment of Borrower Agent as Agent for Requesting Revolving Loans and Receipts of Revolving Loans and Statements.

 (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Agent as its agent to request and
receive Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements from Agent or any Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower. Agent and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank
account of Borrower Agent or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower and provide such Letter of Credit Accommodations to a Borrower as Borrower Agent may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower or Obligor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower. 

(b) Borrower Agent hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent of Borrowers pursuant to this
Section 6.7. 
 (c) Borrower Agent shall ensure that the disbursement of any Revolving Loans to each
Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of Parent, or the issuance of any Letter of Credit Accommodations for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid to or for the account of such Borrower. 

(d) Each Borrower and other Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Agent as its agent to receive
statements on account and all other notices from Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. 

(e) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any other Borrower or any
Guarantor by Borrower Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower or Guarantor to the same extent as if made directly by
such Borrower of Guarantor. 
 (f) No purported termination of the appointment of Borrower Agent as agent as
aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Agent. 
 6.8 Pro Rata
Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement: (a) the making and conversion of Revolving Loans shall be made among the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Revolving Loans and (b) each
payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of Lenders in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Lenders entitled to such payments based on their respective Pro Rata Shares and
shall be distributed accordingly. 
  

 59 








 6.9 Sharing of Payments, Etc. 

(a) Each Borrower and Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s
lien or counterclaim Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as among Agent and Lenders, to the provisions of Section 12.3(b) hereof), to offset balances held by it for the account of
such Borrower or Guarantor at any of its offices, in dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any Revolving Loans owed to such Lender or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due
(regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower or Guarantor), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrower Agent and Agent thereof; provided, that, such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity thereof. 
 (b) If any Lender (including Agent) shall obtain from any Borrower or Guarantor payment
of any principal of or interest on any Revolving Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar
right or otherwise (other than from Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Revolving Loans or more than its share of such other amounts then
due hereunder or thereunder by any Borrower or Guarantor to such Lender than the percentage thereof received by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the amount of such excess and simultaneously purchase from
such other Lenders a participation in the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as
otherwise agreed by Lenders. To such end all Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participation sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. 

(c) Each Borrower and Guarantor agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation (or direct interest) as provided in this
Section may exercise, in a manner consistent with this Section, all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Revolving Loans or other
amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Nothing contained
herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaims or similar rights or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other
Indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower or Guarantor. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent
practicable, assign such rights to Agent for the benefit of Lenders and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any
recovery on such secured claim.

 6.10 Settlement Procedures. 

(a) In order to administer the Credit Facility in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between Agent
and Lenders, Agent may, at its option, subject to the terms hereof, make available, on behalf of Lenders, the full amount of the Revolving Loans requested or charged to any Borrower’s loan account(s) or otherwise to be advanced by Lenders
pursuant to the terms hereof, without requirement of prior notice to Lenders of the proposed Loans. 
 (b) With
respect to all Loans made by Agent on behalf of Lenders as provided in this Section, the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans shall be computed weekly, and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the
amount of the outstanding Loans as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement computation; provided, that, Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to
make the above described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly, but in no event more than twice in any week. Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or periods as Agent shall
determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”). If the summary statement is sent by Agent and received by a
Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section by no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the same Business Day and if received by a Lender after 12:00 p.m. New York
City time, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer by not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the next Business Day following the date of receipt. If, as of the end of any Settlement Period, the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans is more than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans as of the end of the previous Settlement Period, then such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the
preceding sentence) transfer to Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the increase. Alternatively, if the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans in any Settlement Period is less than
the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans for the previous Settlement Period, Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the decrease. The obligation of
each of the Lenders to transfer such funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by Agent. Agent and each Lender agrees to mark its books and records at the end of each Settlement
Period to show at all times the dollar amount of its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations. Each Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans to the
extent such Loans have been funded by such Lender. Because the Agent on behalf of Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans prior to the time when Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Revolving Loans, interest with respect
to Revolving Loans shall be allocated by Agent in accordance with the amount of Revolving Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Revolving Loans are so advanced to but
excluding the date such Revolving Loans are either repaid by Borrowers or actually settled with the applicable Lender as described in this Section. 
  

 61 








 (c) To the extent that Agent has made any such amounts available and the
settlement described above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of any Revolving Loans by Borrowers, Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to any amounts made available by Agent pursuant to this Section. In lieu of weekly or more
frequent settlements, Agent may, at its option, at any time require each Lender to provide Agent with immediately available funds representing its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Loan, prior to Agent’s disbursement of such Revolving Loan to
Borrowers. In such event, all Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in the other
Lender’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan
hereunder. 
 (d) If Agent is not funding a particular Revolving Loan to Borrowers (or Borrower Agent for the
benefit of Borrowers) pursuant to this Section on any day, Agent may assume that each Lender will make available to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan requested or otherwise made on such day and Agent may, in its
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to or for the benefit of such Borrower on such day. If Agent makes such corresponding amount available to a Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in
fact made available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to
Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight
Federal funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of
Agent’s demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Prime Rate Loans. During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to Agent, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, the amount so advanced by Agent to or for the benefit of any Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Loan made by Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure
by a Lender to pay Agent, Agent shall promptly thereafter notify Borrower Agent of such failure and Borrowers shall pay such corresponding amount to Agent for its own account within five (5) Business Days of Borrower Agent’s receipt of
such notice. A Lender who fails to pay Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loans made available by the Agent on such Lender’s behalf, or any Lender who fails to pay any other amount owing by it to Agent, is a “Defaulting Lender”. Agent
shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest
or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, relend to a Borrower the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting
Lender. For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the other 
  

 62 








 
Financing Agreements and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). This
Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until such default is cured. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance
by any Borrower or Obligor of their duties and obligations hereunder. 
 (e) Nothing in this Section or elsewhere
in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any
Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in fulfilling its Commitment. 
 6.11
Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts
payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and subject to Section 12.3 hereof, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be
necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 
 SECTION 7. COLLATERAL REPORTING

(iv) upon Agent’s request, (A) reports of sales for each category of Inventory, (B) reports of aggregate
Inventory purchases (including all costs related thereto, such as freight, duty and taxes) and identifying items of Inventory in transit to any Borrower or Guarantor related to the applicable documentary letter of credit and/or bill of lading
number, (C) copies of remittance advices and reports, and copies of deposit slips and bank statements, (D) copies of shipping and delivery documents, (E) copies of purchase orders, invoices and delivery documents for Inventory and

(v) upon Agent’s request, the monthly statements received by any Borrower or any of its Affiliates from any Credit
Card Issuers or Credit Card Processors, together with such additional information with respect thereto as shall be sufficient to enable Agent to monitor the transactions pursuant to the Credit Card Agreements; 

(vi) such other reports as to the Collateral as Agent shall reasonably request from time to time. 

(b) Nothing contained in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall be deemed to limit, impair or otherwise affect the rights of
Agent contained herein and in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the calculation of the Borrowing Base as set forth in any Borrowing Base Certificate and as determined by Agent in its good faith, the determination of Agent shall
govern and be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers and Guarantors, absent manifest error. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall furnish to Agent any information which Agent may reasonably request regarding the determination and
calculation of any of the amounts set forth in any Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowing Base may be adjusted based on the information set forth in the reports received by Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) above. 

 

 64 








 7.2 Accounts Covenants. 

(a) Each Borrower shall notify Agent promptly of the assertion of (i) any claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims
by any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor or any disputes with any of such persons or any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, to the extent any of the foregoing exceeds $75,000 in any one case or $200,000 in the
aggregate and (ii) all material adverse information relating to the financial condition of any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor. No credit, discount, allowance or extension or agreement for any of the foregoing shall
be granted to any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor except in the ordinary course of a Borrower’s business in accordance with the current practices of such Borrower as in effect on the date hereof. So long as no Event
of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, no Borrower shall settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer, Credit Card Processor. At any time that an Event of Default
exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall, at its option, have the exclusive right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with account debtors, Credit Card Issuers or Credit Card Processors or grant
any credits, discounts or allowances. 
 (b) With respect to each Account: (i) no payments shall be made
thereon except payments delivered to Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) there shall be no setoffs, deductions, contras, defenses, counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto except as reported to Agent
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (iii) none of the transactions giving rise thereto will violate in any material respect any applicable State or Federal Laws or regulations, all documentation relating thereto will be legally
sufficient under such laws and regulations and all such documentation will be legally enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

(c) Each Borrower shall notify Agent promptly of: (i) any notice of a material default by such Borrower under any of the
Credit Card Agreements or of any default which has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in the Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor ceasing to make payments or suspending payments to such Borrower, (ii) any notice from any Credit Card
Issuer or Credit Card Processor that such person is ceasing or suspending, or will cease or suspend, any present or future payments due or to become due to such Borrower from such person, or that such person is terminating or will terminate any of
the Credit Card Agreements, and (iii) the failure of such Borrower to comply with any material terms of the Credit Card Agreements or any terms thereof which has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in the Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card
Processor ceasing or suspending payments to such Borrower. 
 (d) Agent shall have the right at any time or
times, in Agent’s name or in the name of a nominee of Agent, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Receivables or other Collateral, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise.

Borrower’s or Guarantor’s cost therefor and daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto; (b) Borrowers and Guarantors shall conduct a physical count of the Inventory either through periodic cycle counts or wall to wall counts,
so that all Inventory is subject to such counts at least once each year, but at any time or times as Agent may request at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, and promptly following such physical inventory (whether
through periodic cycle counts or wall to wall counts) shall supply Agent with a report in the form and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to Agent concerning such physical count; (c) Borrowers and Guarantors shall not
remove any Inventory from the locations set forth or permitted herein, without the prior written consent of Agent, except for sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of Borrowers’ business and except to move Inventory directly from one

Agent’s request, Borrowers shall, at their expense, no more than three (3) times in any twelve (12) month period, but at any time or times as Agent may request at Agent’s expense, or at any time or times as Agent may request at

an appraiser acceptable to Agent, addressed to Agent and upon which Agent and Lenders are expressly permitted to rely; (e) upon Agent’s request, Borrowers shall, at their expense, conduct through RGIS Inventory Specialists, Inc. or another
inventory counting service acceptable to Agent, a physical count of the Inventory in form, scope and methodology acceptable to Agent no more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, but at any time or times as Agent may request

SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders the following (which shall survive the execution and

liability company duly organized and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company and in good standing in all states or other jurisdictions where the nature
and extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder (a) are all within each Borrower’s and Guarantor’s corporate or limited liability company powers, (b) have
been duly authorized, (c) are not in contravention of law or the terms of any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws, membership agreement or other organizational documentation, or
any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which any Borrower or Guarantor is a party or by which any Borrower or Guarantor or its property are bound and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of, or require or give rise to any
obligation to grant, any lien, security interest, charge or other encumbrance upon any property of any Borrower or Guarantor. This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to which any Borrower or Guarantor is a party constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of such Borrower and Guarantor enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. 
 8.2 Name; State

merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in the Information Certificate.

of Collateral, if any, are the addresses set forth in Schedule 8.2 to the Information Certificate, subject to the rights of any Borrower or Guarantor to establish new locations in accordance with Section 9.2 below. The Information Certificate
correctly identifies any of such locations which are not owned by a Borrower or Guarantor and sets forth the owners and/or operators thereof.

financial statements furnished by Borrowers and Guarantors to Agent prior to the date of this Agreement, there has been no act, condition or event which has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect since the date of the most
recent audited financial statements of any Borrower or Guarantor furnished by any Borrower or Guarantor to Agent prior to the date of the Existing Agreement.

declarations which are required to be filed by it, where the failure to so file has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All information in such tax returns, reports and declarations is complete and accurate in all
material respects. Each Borrower and Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes due and payable or claimed due and payable in any assessment received by it, except taxes the validity of which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and available to such Borrower or Guarantor and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside on its books. Adequate provision has been made for the payment of all accrued and unpaid Federal,
State, county, local, foreign and other Taxes whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed.

 8.10 Interrelated Businesses. Borrowers and Guarantors make up a related organization
of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise so that Borrowers and Guarantors share an identity of interests such that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the others. Borrowers and Guarantors render
services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and/or Guarantors, as the case may be, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the

 79 








 
payee and an additional insured (but without any liability for any premiums) under such insurance policies and Borrowers and Guarantors shall obtain non-contributory lender’s loss payable

deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Agent having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of any
Borrower or Obligor, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Borrowers and Obligors and/or (vii) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Agent upon credit terms or for
future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Agent. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by Agent to Borrower Agent
designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Borrowers and Obligors waive any other notice.
In the event Agent institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, each Borrower and Obligor waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. At any time an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Agent’s request, Borrowers will either, as Agent shall specify, furnish cash collateral to the issuer to be used to secure and fund Agent’s reimbursement obligations to the issuer in
connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations or furnish cash collateral to Agent for the Letter of Credit Accommodations. Such cash collateral shall be in the amount equal to one hundred ten (110%) percent of the amount of the Letter of
Credit Accommodations plus the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest expiration date of such Letter of Credit Accommodations. 

 

 115 








 (c) At any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and
is continuing, Agent may, in its discretion, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, Agent shall, enforce the rights of any Borrower or Obligor against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts
or other Receivables. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may, in its discretion, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, Agent shall, at such time or times (i) notify any or all account debtors (including Credit
Card Issuers and Credit Card Processors), secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the Receivables have been assigned to Agent and that Agent has a security interest therein and Agent may direct any or all accounts debtors
(including Credit Card Issuers and Credit Card Processors), secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of Receivables directly to Agent, (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of
merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Receivables or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof
without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Receivables or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and Agent and Lenders shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the
payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests and the interests of Lenders. At any time that
an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at Agent’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to Agent and are payable
directly and only to Agent and Borrowers and Obligors shall deliver to Agent such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Agent may require. In the event any
account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall, upon Agent’s request, hold the returned Inventory in trust for Agent, segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other
property, dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to Agent’s instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without Agent’s prior written consent. 

(d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially
reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent or any Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant
by Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to
Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to
fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies
against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as any Borrower or Guarantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the
Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide
for the auction of assets of the 
  

 116 








 
types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent or Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent or Lenders a guaranteed
return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or
disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in
the exercise by Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without
limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to any Borrower or Guarantor or to impose any duties on Agent or Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by
applicable law in the absence of this Section. 
 (e) For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise the rights
and remedies hereunder, each Borrower and Obligor hereby grants to Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable at any time an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and for so long as the same is
continuing) without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Borrower or Obligor, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of
business identifiers and other Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or Obligor, wherever the same maybe located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the
licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, which license shall be provided for in, and subject to, the terms of the intercreditor agreement described in Section 9.8(o)
hereof on and after the incurrence of any Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 9.9(t) hereof. 

(f) Agent may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other
disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in such order as Agent may elect, whether or not then due. Borrowers and Guarantors shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for the payment of any deficiency with
interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses. 

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, (i) upon the occurrence of a Default (other than a Default as a result of the
failure of any Borrower or Obligor to perform any of the covenants contained in Sections 7.1(a)(i), 7.1(a)(ii), 7.1(a)(iii), 9.6(a), 9.6(b) or 9.6(c) hereof) or an Event of Default, Agent and Lenders may, at Agent’s option, and upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default at the direction of the Required Lenders, Agent and Lenders shall, without notice, (A) cease making Revolving Loans or arranging for Letter of Credit Accommodations or reduce the lending formulas or amounts of
Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations available to Borrowers and/or (B) terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for any future Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to be made by Agent and Lenders to
Borrowers and (ii) Agent may, at its option, establish such Reserves as Agent determines, without limitation or restriction, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein.

11.1 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver. 

(a) The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements (other than the
Mortgages to the extent provided therein) and any dispute arising out of the relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York but excluding any
principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York. 

(b) Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent and Lenders irrevocably consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court of the State of New York for New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, whichever Agent may elect, and waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens
with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of
the other Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to any such matters
shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that Agent and Lenders shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against any Borrower or Guarantor or its or their property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Agent
deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against any Borrower or Guarantor or its or their property). 

(c) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such
service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth herein and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S.
mails, or, at Agent’s option, by service upon any Borrower or Guarantor (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower or Guarantor) in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such
service, such Borrower or Guarantor shall appear in answer to such process, failing which such Borrower or Guarantor shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Agent against such Borrower or Guarantor for the amount of the claim and
other relief requested. 
 (d) BORROWERS, GUARANTORS, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN

  

 118 








 
RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT,
TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. BORROWERS, GUARANTORS, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR, AGENT OR
ANY LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 

(e) Agent and Lenders shall not have any liability to any Borrower or Guarantor (whether in tort, contract, equity or
otherwise) for losses suffered by such Borrower or Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection
herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Agent and such Lender, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Borrower and
Guarantor: (i) certifies that neither Agent, any Lender nor any representative, agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of Agent or any Lender has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Agent and Lenders would not, in the event of
litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and (ii) acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, Agent and Lenders are relying
upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications set forth in this Section 11.1 and elsewhere herein and therein. 

11.2 Waiver of Notices. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest and
notice of dishonor with respect to any and all instruments and chattel paper, included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
Obligations, the Collateral and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to or demand on any Borrower or Guarantor which Agent or any Lender may elect to give shall entitle such Borrower or Guarantor to any other
or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 
 11.3 Amendments and Waivers. 

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Financing Agreement nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, waived,
discharged or terminated unless such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by Agent and the Required Lenders or at Agent’s option, by Agent with the authorization of the Required Lenders, and as to amendments to any
of the Financing Agreements (other than with respect to any provision of Section 12 hereof), by any Borrower; except, that, no such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination shall: 

(i) reduce the interest rate or any fees or extend the time of payment of principal, interest or any fees or reduce the
principal amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodations, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, 
  

 119 








 (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in
effect or provided hereunder, in each case without the consent of the Lender directly affected thereby, 
 (iii)
release any Collateral (except as expressly required hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements or applicable law and except as permitted under Section 12.1l(b) hereof), without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders, 

(iv) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, without the consent of Agent and all of
Lenders, 
 (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower or Guarantor of any of their rights and
obligations under this Agreement, without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders, 
 (vi) amend, modify or waive
any terms of this Section 11.3 hereof, without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders, or 
 (vii) increase
the advance rates constituting part of the Borrowing Base, without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders. 

(b) Agent and Lenders shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived
any of its or their rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed as provided herein. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Agent or any Lender of any
right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Agent or any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.3(a) above, in connection with any
amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, in the event that any Lender whose consent thereto is required shall fail to consent or fail to consent in a timely manner (such Lender being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”),
but the consent of any other Lenders to such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that is required are obtained, if any, then Congress shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter, and upon the exercise by Congress of
such right, such Non-Consenting Lender shall have the obligation, to sell, assign and transfer to Congress or such Eligible Transferee as Congress may specify, the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender and all rights and interests of such
Non-Consenting Lender pursuant thereto. Congress shall provide the Non-Consenting Lender with prior written notice of its intent to exercise its right under this Section, which notice shall specify on date on which such purchase and sale shall
occur. Such purchase and sale shall be pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance (whether or not executed by the Non-Consenting Lender), except that on the date of such purchase and sale, Congress, or such Eligible Transferee specified
by Congress, shall pay to the Non-Consenting Lender the amount equal to: (i) the principal balance of the Revolving Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender outstanding as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the
effective date of such purchase and sale, plus (ii) amounts accrued and unpaid in respect of interest and fees payable to 

 

 120 








 
the Non-Consenting Lender to the effective date of the purchase (but in no event shall the Non-Consenting Lender be deemed entitled to any early termination fee), minus (iii) the amount of
the closing fee received by the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof or of any of the other Financing Agreements multiplied by the fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the then current term of the
Credit Facility and the denominator of which is the number of months in the then current term thereof. Such purchase and sale shall be effective on the date of the payment of such amount to the Non-Consenting Lender and the Commitment of the
Non-Consenting Lender shall terminate on such date. 
 (d) The consent of Agent shall be required for any
amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of Agent hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements, in addition to the consent of the Lenders otherwise required by this Section and the exercise by Agent of any of its
rights hereunder with respect to Reserves or Eligible Credit Card Receivables or Eligible Inventory shall not be deemed an amendment to the advance rates provided for in this Section 11.3. 

(e) The consent of Agent and any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other financial institution acceptable to
Agent, as the case may be, that is party to a Hedge Agreement at such time shall be required for any amendment to the priority of payment of Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Hedge Agreements of a Borrower or Guarantor as set forth in
Section 6.4(a) hereof. 
 11.4 Waiver of Counterclaims. Each Borrower and Guarantor waives all rights to interpose
any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or
thereto. 
 11.5 Indemnification. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Agent and
each Lender, and its officers, directors, agents, employees, advisors and counsel and their respective Affiliates (each such person being an “Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or
transaction related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement (but only after notice to Borrower Agent), court costs, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel except that Borrowers and Guarantors shall not have any obligation
under this Section 11.5 to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to a matter covered hereby resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction (but without limiting the obligations of Borrowers or Guarantors as to any other Indemnitee) or which is a liability for Taxes (to the extent that the indemnification for such Taxes is subject to Section 6.4 hereof). To
the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrowers and Guarantors shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay
under applicable law to Agent and Lenders in 
  

 121 








 
satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower or Guarantor shall assert, and each Borrower and Guarantor hereby waives, any claim
against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any of the other Financing
Agreements or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable upon demand. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 12. THE AGENT 

12.1 Appointment Powers and Immunities. Each Lender irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes Congress to act as Agent
hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements with such powers as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Financing Agreements, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Agent (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Financing Agreements, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement be a trustee or fiduciary
for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, or in any certificate or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any Borrower or any Obligor or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (c) shall not be responsible to Lenders for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the assignment thereof pursuant to an agreement (if and to the extent permitted herein) in
form and substance satisfactory to Agent shall have been delivered to and acknowledged by Agent. Wachovia Capital Markets LLC is hereby designated as the sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner with respect to the Credit Facility, Wachovia Bank,
National Association is hereby designated as the administrative agent with respect to the Credit Facility and Bank of America, N.A. is hereby designated as the syndication agent. The designation of Wachovia Capital Markets LLC as sole lead arranger
and sole bookrunner, Wachovia Bank, National Association as administrative agent and Bank of America, N.A. as syndication agent shall not as to any of them create any rights in favor of it in such capacity nor subject it to any duties or obligations
in such capacity. 
 12.2 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other
communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel, independent 
  

 122 








 
accountants and other experts selected by Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all of Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Agents and any action taken or failure
to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders. 
 12.3 Events of Default. 

(a) Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or other
failure of a condition precedent to the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, unless and until Agent has received written notice from a Lender, or a Borrower specifying such Event of Default or any unfulfilled condition
precedent, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default or Failure of Condition”. In the event that Agent receives such a Notice of Default or Failure of Condition, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Agent shall
(subject to Section 12.7) take such action with respect to any such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such
directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to or by reason of such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent, as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of
Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding the existence or occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or any other failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement to the
contrary, Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, continue to make Revolving Loans and issue or cause to be issued Letter of Credit Accommodations for the ratable account and risk of Lenders from time to time if Agent believes making such
Revolving Loans or issuing or causing to be issued such Letter of Credit Accommodations is in the best interests of Lenders. 

(b) Except with the prior written consent of Agent, no Lender may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in
respect of the Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations or other Obligations, as against any Borrower or Obligor or any of the Collateral or other property of any Borrower or Obligor. 

12.4 Congress in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment and the Revolving Loans made and Letter of Credit
Accommodations issued or caused to be issued by it (and any successor acting as Agent), so long as Congress shall be a Lender hereunder, it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not acting as Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Congress in its individual capacity as Lender hereunder. Congress (and any successor acting as Agent) and its
Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers (and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Agent, and
Congress and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or Guarantor and any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to
Lenders. 
  

 123 








 12.5 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed
by Borrowers hereunder and without limiting any obligations of Borrowers hereunder) ratably, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, for any and all claims of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that Agent is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided, that, no
Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The
foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. 
 12.6
Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent or other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of
Borrowers and Obligors and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any
Borrower or Obligor of any term or provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Borrower or Obligor. Agent will
use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any information received by Agent from any Borrower or Obligor which is required to be provided to Lenders hereunder or deemed to be requested by Lenders hereunder and with a copy of any Notice of
Default or Failure of Condition received by Agent from any Borrower or any Lender; provided, that, Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s
own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent
shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Borrower or Obligor that may come into the possession of Agent. 

12.7 Failing to Act. Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder and under the other Financing- Agreements, Agent
shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.5 hereof against any
and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 12.8
Additional Loans. Agent shall not make any Revolving Loans intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans would cause the aggregate amount of the total outstanding Revolving Loans to exceed the Borrowing Base or make any
Revolving Loans or 
  

 124 








 
provide any Letter of Credit Accommodations intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations would cause the aggregate amount of the total
outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to exceed the Borrowing Base, without the prior consent of all Lenders, except, that, Agent may make such additional Revolving Loans intentionally and with actual
knowledge that such Revolving Loans will cause the total outstanding Revolving Loans to exceed the Borrowing Base and Agent may make such additional Revolving Loans and provide such additional Letter of Credit Accommodations on behalf of Lenders,
intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations will cause the total outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to exceed the Borrowing Base, as Agent may deem necessary or
advisable in its discretion, provided, that: (a) the total principal amount of the additional Revolving Loans which Agent may make after obtaining actual knowledge that the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans equal
or exceed the Borrowing Base and the additional Revolving Loans and additional Letter of Credit Accommodations which Agent may make or provide after obtaining such actual knowledge that the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and
Letter of Credit Accommodations equal or exceed the Borrowing Base, plus the amount of Special Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 12.11(a)(ii) hereof then outstanding, shall not exceed the aggregate amount equal to the lesser of
$10,000,000 or ten (10%) percent of the Maximum Credit outstanding at any time and shall not cause the total principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to exceed the Maximum Credit and (b) no such
additional Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation shall be outstanding more than sixty (60) days after the date such additional Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation is made or issued (as the case may be), except as the
Required Lenders may otherwise agree. Each Lender shall be obligated to pay Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any such additional Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations. 

12.9 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Financing Agreements. Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of
their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 

12.10 Field Audit, Examination Reports and Other Information; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

 (a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of
each field audit or examination report and a report with respect to the Borrowing Base prepared by Agent (each field audit or examination report and report with respect to the Borrowing Base being referred to herein as a “Report” and
collectively, “Reports”); 
 (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent (i) does not make
any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; 
  

 125 








 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive
audits or examinations, that Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers and Guarantors and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ and Guarantors’ books and
records, as well as on representations of Borrowers’ and Guarantors’ personnel; and 
 (d) agrees to
keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use in accordance with the terms of Section 14.5 hereof, and not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner. 

12.11 Collateral Matters. 

(a) Agent may, at its option, from time to time, at any time on or after an Event of Default and for so long as the same
is continuing or upon any other failure of a condition precedent to the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, make such disbursements and advances (“Special Agent Advances”) which Agent, in its sole discretion,
(i) deems necessary or desirable either to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof or (ii) to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by Borrowers and Guarantors of the Revolving Loans and other
Obligations, provided, that, the aggregate principal amount of the Special Agent Advances pursuant to this clause (ii), plus the then outstanding principal amount of the additional Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations which Agent
may make or provide as set forth in Section 12.8 hereof, shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the lesser of $10,000,000 or ten (10%) percent of the Maximum Credit outstanding at any time or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable
to any Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements consisting of (A) costs, fees and expenses and (B) payments to any issuer of Letter of Credit Accommodations. Special Agent
Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. Special Agent Advances shall not constitute Revolving Loans but shall otherwise constitute Obligations hereunder. Without limitation of its obligations pursuant to
Section 6.10, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to Agent, upon Agent’s demand, in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Special Agent Advance. If such funds are not
made available to Agent by such Lender, such Lender shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender and Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds, on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due
until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for
the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid
within three (3) days of Agent’s demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Prime Rate Loans. 

(b) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any security interest in,
mortgage or lien upon, any of the Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations and delivery of cash collateral to the extent required under Section 14.1 below, or
(ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrower Agent or any Borrower or Guarantor certifies to 

 

 126 








 
Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 9.7 hereof (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or
(iii) constituting property in which any Borrower or Guarantor did not own an interest at the time the security interest, mortgage or lien was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) having a value in the aggregate in any twelve
(12) month period of less than $5,000,000, or (v) if required or permitted under the terms of any of the other Financing Agreements, including any intercreditor agreement, or (vi) approved, authorized or ratified in writing by all of
Lenders. Except as provided above, Agent will not release any security interest in, mortgage or lien upon, any of the Collateral without the prior written authorization of all of Lenders. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will promptly
confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section. 

(c) Without any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by
the Required Lenders, each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon Agent under this Section. Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such
documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the security interest, mortgage or liens granted to Agent upon any Collateral to the extent set forth above; provided, that, (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any
such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such security interest, mortgage or liens without recourse or warranty and
(ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any security interest, mortgage or lien upon (or obligations of any Borrower or Guarantor in respect of) the Collateral retained by such Borrower or
Guarantor. 
 (d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to investigate,
confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or Guarantor or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the
Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the liens and security interests granted to Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Financing Agreements or otherwise have been
properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue
exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event
related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender. 

12.12 Agency for Perfections. Each Lender hereby appoints Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of
perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral of Agent in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession has priority
over the security interest of another secured party) and Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of any such Collateral for the benefit of Agent as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral,
such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions. 

 

 127 








 12.13 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’
notice to Lenders and Parent. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent,
Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and Parent, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance by the Lender so selected of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all of the
rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” as used herein and in the other Financing Agreements shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be
terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has
accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform
all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 

12.14 Co-Agent. Agent may at any time and from time to time determine that a Lender may, in addition, be a “Co-Agent”,
“Co-Documentation Agent” or similar designation hereunder and enter into an agreement with such Lender to have it so identified for purposes of this Agreement. Agent shall provide written notice to Borrower Agent of any such agreement. Any
Lender that is so designated as a Co-Agent, Co-Documentation Agent or such similar designation by Agent shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements other
than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no Lender shall be deemed to have relied, nor shall any Lender
rely, on a Lender so identified as a Co-Agent, Co-Documentation Agent or such similar designation in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 

SECTION 13. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND RESTATEMENT 

13.1 Existing Obligations. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that (a) Borrowers and
Guarantors are indebted to Agent and Lenders for outstanding loans and advances to Borrowers under the Existing Agreements and in respect of Letter of Credit Accommodations (as defined in the Existing Agreements), together with all interest accrued
and accruing thereon (to the extent applicable), and all fees, costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, all of which are unconditionally owing by Borrowers and Guarantors to Agent and Lenders to the extent set forth in the Existing
Agreements, without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever. 
  

 128 








 13.2 Acknowledgment of Security Interests 

(a) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that Agent on behalf of itself and Lenders shall
continue to have a security interest in and lien upon the Collateral heretofore granted to Agent pursuant to the Existing Agreements to secure the Obligations, as well as any Collateral granted under this Agreement or under any of the other
Financing Agreements or otherwise granted to or held by Agent or any Lender. 
 (b) The liens and security
interests of Agent in the Collateral shall be deemed to be continuously granted and perfected from the earliest date of the granting and perfection of such liens and security interests to Agent, whether under the Existing Agreements, this Agreement
or any of the other Financing Agreements. 
 13.3 Existing Agreements. Borrowers and Guarantors each hereby acknowledge,
confirm and agree that, subject to Section 13.4 hereof: (a) the Existing Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by Borrowers and Guarantors and are in full force and effect as of the date hereof; (b) the agreements and
obligations of Borrowers and Guarantors contained in the Existing Agreements constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrowers or Guarantors, as the case may be, enforceable against such Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with its
terms and no Borrower or Guarantor has a valid defense to the enforcement of such obligations; and (c) Agent and Lenders are entitled to all of the rights, remedies and benefits provided for in or arising pursuant to the Existing Agreements.

 13.4 Restatement. 

(a) Except as otherwise stated in Section 13.2 hereof and this Section 13.4, as of the date hereof, the terms,
conditions, agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Existing Agreements are simultaneously amended and restated in their entirety, and as so amended and restated, replaced and superseded by the terms, conditions,
agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements executed and/or delivered on or after the date hereof, except that nothing herein or in the other Financing Agreements shall impair
or adversely affect the continuation of the liability of Borrowers and Guarantors for the Obligations heretofore incurred and the security interests, liens, hypothecs and other interests in the Collateral heretofore granted, pledged and/or assigned
by Borrowers or Guarantors to Agent, Agent or any Lender (whether directly, indirectly or otherwise). 
 (b) The
amendment and restatement contained herein shall not, in any manner, be construed to constitute payment of, or impair, limit, cancel or extinguish, or constitute a novation in respect of, the Indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities of
Borrowers or Guarantors evidenced by or arising under the Existing Agreements, and the liens and security interests of Agent securing such Indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities, which shall not in any manner be impaired, limited,

(c) All loans, advances and other financial accommodations under the Existing Agreements and all other Obligations of

the Revolving Loans and the amount of the Letters of Credit Accommodations outstanding as of the date hereof under the Existing Agreements shall be allocated to the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder in such manner and in
such amounts as Agent shall determine in accordance with the terms hereof. 
  

 129 








 SECTION 14. TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS 

14.1 Term. 

(a) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on
December 23, 2009 (the “Renewal Date”), and from year to year thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent may, at its option (or shall at the direction of any Lender in writing received by Agent at least
ninety (90) days prior to the Renewal Date or the anniversary of any Renewal Date, as the case may be), terminate this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, or Borrower Agent may terminate this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements, each case, effective on the Renewal Date or on the anniversary of the Renewal Date in any year by giving to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior written notice; provided, that, this Agreement and all other
Financing Agreements must be terminated simultaneously. In addition, Borrowers may terminate this Agreement at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) and Agent may, at its option, and shall
at the direction of Required Lenders, terminate this Agreement at any time on or after an Event of Default. Upon any effective date of termination of the Financing Agreements, Borrowers shall pay to Agent all outstanding and unpaid monetary
Obligations and shall furnish cash collateral to Agent (or at Agent’s option, a letter of credit issued for the account of Borrowers and at Borrowers’ expense, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, by an issuer acceptable to Agent
and payable to Agent as beneficiary) in such amounts as Agent determines are reasonably necessary to secure Agent and Lenders from loss, cost, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with any
contingent Obligations, including issued and outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations and checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to which Agent or any Lender has not yet received final and indefeasible
payment (and including any contingent liability of Agent to any bank at which deposit accounts of Borrowers and Guarantors are maintained under any Deposit Account Control Agreement) and for any of the Obligations arising under or in connection with
any Hedge Agreement in such amounts as the other party to such Hedge Agreement may require (unless such Obligations arising under or in connection with any Hedge Agreement are paid in full in cash and terminated in a manner satisfactory to such
other party). The amount of such cash collateral (or letter of credit, as Agent may determine) as to any Letter of Credit Accommodations shall be in the amount equal to one hundred ten (110%) percent of the amount of the Letter of Credit
Accommodations plus the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest expiration date of such Letter of Credit Accommodations. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash collateral shall be
remitted by wire transfer in Federal funds to the Agent Payment Account or such other bank account of Agent, as Agent may, in its discretion, designate in writing to Borrower Agent for such purpose. Interest shall be due until and including the next
Business Day, if the amounts so paid by Borrowers to the Agent Payment Account or other bank account designated by Agent are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, New York City time. 

 

 130 








 (b) No termination of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall
relieve or discharge any Borrower or Guarantor of its respective duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements until all monetary Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid and as to
contingent Obligations, Agent shall have received such cash collateral (or letter of credit, as Agent may determine), as is required pursuant to the terms hereof, and Agent’s continuing security interest in the Collateral and the rights and
remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, under the other Financing Agreements and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such monetary Obligations have been so paid and as to contingent Obligations, Agent shall have received such cash
collateral (or letter of credit, as Agent may determine) as is required pursuant to the terms hereof. Accordingly, each Borrower and Guarantor waives any rights it may have under the UCC to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to
the Collateral and Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to Borrowers or Guarantors, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all
monetary Obligations paid in full in immediately available funds and as to contingent Obligations, Agent shall have received such cash collateral (or letter of credit, as Agent may determine), as required pursuant to the terms hereof. 

(c) If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Renewal Date and upon such termination the Obligations are
repaid with proceeds of loans that are secured by any assets of a Borrower or Guarantor not provided by Agent or any of its Affiliates where Agent or such Affiliate is the administrative and collateral agent (with rights and duties consistent with
the rights and duties of Agent hereunder), in view of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of Agent’s and each Lender’s lost profits
as a result thereof, Borrowers agree to pay to Agent for itself and the ratable benefit of Lenders, upon the effective date of such termination, an early termination fee in the amount equal to 

 

			
	 Amount
	  	 Period

	 (i) 0.50% of Maximum Credit
	  	From the date hereof to and including the second anniversary of the date hereof
		
	 (ii) 0.25% of Maximum Credit
	  	From and after the second anniversary of the date hereof to and including the third anniversary of the date hereof


Such early termination fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Agent and Lenders as a result of such early termination and
Borrowers and Guarantors agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14.1(c) above, in the event of the termination of this Agreement at the request of Borrower Agent prior to the end of the term of this Agreement and the full and final repayment
of all Obligations and the receipt by Agent of cash collateral all as provided in Section 14.1(a) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders an early termination fee if such payments are made to
Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, with the initial proceeds of an unsecured credit facility provided by Wachovia Bank, National Association, to Borrowers.

 14.5
Confidentiality. 
 (a) Agent and each Lender shall use all reasonable efforts to keep confidential, in
accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information and safe and sound lending practices, any non-public information supplied to it by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement which is clearly and conspicuously marked as

Agreements. 
 14.7 Assignments; Participations 

(a) Each Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent, assign all or, if less than all, a portion equal to at least
$10,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender, of such rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Transferees (but not including for this purpose any assignments in the form of a participation), each of which
assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Acceptance; provided, that, (i) such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by Agent on the Register and
(ii) Agent shall have received for its sole account payment of a processing fee from the assigning Lender or the assignee in the amount of $5,000. 

(b) Agent shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of Lenders, their Commitments and the principal amount of
their Revolving Loans (the “Register”). Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and any Borrowers, Obligors, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower Agent and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to participate in Letter of Credit Accommodations) of a Lender hereunder and thereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. 

(d) By execution and delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor and assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or the execution, legality, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any of the other Financing
Agreements furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower, Obligor or any of their Subsidiaries or the performance
or observance by any Borrower or Obligor of any of the Obligations; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, together with such other documents and information it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, Agent and based on such documents and information as
it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as
agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such

 (g)
Borrowers and Guarantors shall assist Agent or any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 14.7 in whatever manner reasonably necessary in order to enable or effect any such assignment or participation,

14.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, any supplements hereto or thereto, and any instruments or

understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this
Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. 
 14.9 Counterparts, Etc. This
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements by telefacsimile shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of such other Financing Agreements. Any party delivering an
executed counterpart of any such agreement by telefacsimile shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of such agreement.

Assignor on the Effective Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to $                    , representing Assignee’s Pro Rata
Share of the principal amount of all Committed Loans. 
 (b) Assignee shall pay to Agent the processing fee in
the amount specified in Section 14.7(a) of the Loan Agreement.

 2. I have reviewed the terms of the Loan Agreement, and
have made, or have caused to be made under my supervision, a review in reasonable detail of the transactions and the financial condition of Borrowers and Guarantors, during the immediately preceding fiscal month. 

3. The review described in Section 2 above did not disclose the existence during or at the end of such fiscal month, and I have no
knowledge of the existence and continuance on the date hereof, of any condition or event which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default, except as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. Described on Schedule I attached hereto are the
exceptions, if any, to this Section 3 listing, in detail, the nature of the condition or event, the period during which it has existed and the action which any Borrower or Guarantor has taken, is taking, or proposes to take with respect to such

	 	(c)	Materially changed the terms upon which it sells goods (including sales on consignment) or provides services, nor has any vendor or trade supplier to any Borrower or
Guarantor during or at the end of such period materially adversely changed the terms upon which it supplies goods to any Borrower or Guarantor. 

  

	 	(d)	Permitted or suffered to exist any security interest in or liens on any of its properties, whether real or personal, other than as specifically permitted in the
Financing Agreements. 

  

	 	(e)	Received any notice of, or obtained knowledge of any of the following not previously disclosed to Agent: (i) the occurrence of any event involving the release,
spill or discharge of any Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Law in a material respect or (ii) any investigation, proceeding, complaint, order, directive, claims, citation or notice with respect to: (A) any
non-compliance with or violation of any applicable Environmental Law by any Borrower or Guarantor in any material respect or (B) the release, spill or discharge of any Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Law in a
material respect or (C) the generation, use, storage, treatment, transportation, manufacture, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous Materials in violation of applicable Environmental Laws in a material respect or (D) any other
environmental, health or safety matter, which has a material adverse effect on any Borrower or Guarantor or its business, operations or assets or any properties at which such Borrower or Guarantor transported, stored or disposed of any Hazardous
Materials. 

  

	 	(f)	Become aware of, obtained knowledge of, or received notification of, any breach or violation of any material covenant contained in any instrument or agreement in
respect of Indebtedness for money borrowed by any Borrower or Guarantor. 

 5. Attached hereto as Schedule III are
the calculations used in determining, as of the end of such fiscal month whether Borrowers and Guarantors are in compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 9.18 and 9.19 of the Loan Agreement for such fiscal month.
