	 	(a)	Revolving Loans. 

 Subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Other Agreements, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is then continuing, during the Original Term, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to make in Dollars, Euros
or Pounds Sterling, as requested by Borrower its Pro Rata Share of revolving loans and advances (the “Revolving Loans”) requested by Borrower up to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment so long as after giving effect to such
Revolving Loans, the sum of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations does not exceed a Dollar Equivalent amount of up to the sum of the following sublimits (the “Revolving Loan
Limit”) which shall be determined from time to time based on the most current borrowing base report furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof: 
  

 4 








 (i) Seventy-five percent (75%) of the face amount of Borrower’s Eligible
Account; provided that such advance rate shall be reduced by one (1) percentage point for each whole percentage point (and rounded up to the nearest .25% in the case of a partial percentage point) by which Dilution (as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion based on the results of the most recent twelve (12) month period for which the Administrative Agent has conducted a field audit of the Borrower) exceeds fifteen percent (15%); plus

 (ii) The lesser of (a) sixty percent (60%) of the lower of cost or market value of Borrower’s Eligible
Inventory or (b) eighty-five percent (85%) of the appraised orderly liquidation value of Borrower’s Eligible Inventory; plus 
 (iii) Sixty percent (60%) against the face amount of commercial Letters of Credit issued or guaranteed by the Issuing Lender or letters of credit permitted under Section 13(b)(xii) hereof for the purpose of
purchasing Eligible Inventory; provided, that such commercial Letters of Credit are in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent; minus 
 (iv) The Availability Reserve and such other reserves as Administrative Agent elects, in its reasonable credit judgment consistent with
industry standards for asset-based loans, to establish from time to time (including, without limitation, a rent reserve in an amount equal to three (3) months rent payable by Borrower for all of its leased inventory locations, a reserve for
payments due under licensing agreements and a reserve with respect to Hedging Liabilities); 
 provided, that (x) the sum of the
advances with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall at no time exceed Fourteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($14,000,000), and (y) the Revolving Loan Limit shall in no event exceed Twenty-Eight Million and No/100 Dollars
($28,000,000) (the “Maximum Revolving Loan Limit”) and further provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable credit judgment consistent with industry standards for asset-based loans, from time to time reduce the
percentage advance rates specified in (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. 
 The
aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans (including the Dollar Equivalent of all Loans made in Euros or Pounds Sterling) shall not at any time exceed the lesser of the (i) Revolving Loan Limit minus the Letter of Credit
Obligations and (ii) the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit minus the Letter of Credit Obligations. If at any time the outstanding Revolving Loans (including the Dollar Equivalent of all Loans made in Euros or Pounds Sterling) exceeds 
  

 5 








 either the Revolving Loan Limit or the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit, in each case minus the Letter of
Credit Obligations, or any portion of the Revolving Loans (including the Dollar Equivalent of all Loans made in Euros or Pounds Sterling) and Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds any applicable sublimit within the Revolving Loan Limit, Borrower
shall immediately, and without the necessity of demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess and Administrative Agent shall apply such payment to the Revolving Loans in such
order as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion; provided that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, permit such excess (the “Interim Advance”) to remain outstanding and continue to advance Revolving Loans
to Borrower on behalf of Lenders without the consent of any Lender for a period of up to sixty (60) calendar days, so long as (i) the amount of the Interim Advances does not exceed at any time One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000),
(ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans (including the Dollar Equivalent of all Loans made in Euros or Pounds Sterling) does not exceed the Maximum Loan Limit, and (iii) Administrative Agent has not been
notified by Requisite Lenders (or, if there are only three (3) Lenders, any two (2) of the Lenders) to cease making such Revolving Loans. If the Interim Advance is not repaid in full within sixty (60) days of the initial occurrence of
the Interim Advance, no future advances may be made to Borrower without the consent of all Lenders until the Interim Advance is repaid in full. 
 Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations to make Revolving Loans hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make its Pro Rata
Share of any Revolving Loan hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to make its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loans hereunder. 
 If Borrower makes a request for a Revolving Loan as provided herein, Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, shall
do either of the following: 
 (i) advance the amount of the proposed Revolving Loan to Borrower disproportionately (a
“Disproportionate Advance”) out of Administrative Agent’s own funds on behalf of Lenders, which advance shall be on the same day as Borrower’s request therefor with respect to Prime Rate Loans if Borrower notifies Administrative
Agent of such request by 11:00 a.m., Chicago time on such day, and request settlement in accordance with Section 18 hereof such that upon such settlement each Lender’s share of the outstanding Revolving Loans (including,
without limitation, the amount of any Disproportionate Advance) equals its Pro Rata Share; or 
  

 6 








 (ii) Notify each Lender by telecopy or other similar form of teletransmission of the
proposed advance on the same day Administrative Agent is notified or deemed notified by Borrower of Borrower’s request for an advance pursuant to this Section 2(a). Each Lender shall remit, to the demand deposit account designated
by the Administrative Agent (i) with respect to Prime Rate Loans, at or prior to 3:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the date of notification, if such notification is made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders at or prior to 1:00 p.m.,
Chicago time, or 10:00 A.M., Chicago time, on the business day immediately succeeding the date of such notification, if such notification is made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders after 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, and (ii) with
respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, at or prior to 12:00 noon., Chicago time, on the date such LIBOR Rate Loans are to be advanced, immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed advance. 
 If and to the extent that a Lender does not settle with Administrative Agent as required under this Agreement (a “Defaulting
Lender”) Borrower and Defaulting Lender severally agree to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount required to be paid by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon, for each day from
the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent (x) in the case of a Defaulting Lender at the Federal Funds Rate and (y) in the case of Borrower, at the interest rate
applicable at such time for such Loans; provided, that Borrower’s obligation to repay such advance to Administrative Agent shall not relieve such Lender of its liability to Administrative Agent for failure to settle as provided in this
Agreement. 
 Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to charge any of Borrower’s
accounts or advance Revolving Loans to make any payments of principal, interest, fees, costs or expenses required to be made under this Agreement or the Other Agreements; provided that the Administrative Agent agrees to give the Borrower
advance notice (which may be telephonic or by electronic transmission) in the case of any such charge or Revolving Loan made in connection with payment of audit, legal or appraisal charges or any other payments to third parties. 
  

 7 








 A request for a Revolving Loan shall be made or shall be deemed to be made, each in the
following manner: Borrower shall give Administrative Agent same day notice, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) for such day, of its request for a Revolving Loan as a Prime Rate Loan, and at least three (3) Business Days prior notice of its
request for a Revolving Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, in which notice Borrower shall specify the amount of the proposed borrowing and the proposed borrowing date; provided, however, that no such request may be made at a time when there exists an Event
of Default or an event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, will become an Event of Default. In the event that Borrower maintains a controlled disbursement account at Administrative Agent, each check presented for payment against
such controlled disbursement account and any other charge or request for payment against such controlled disbursement account shall constitute a request for a Revolving Loan as a Prime Rate Loan. As an accommodation to Borrower, Administrative Agent
may permit telephone requests for Revolving Loans and electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Administrative Agent by Borrower. Unless Borrower specifically directs Administrative Agent in writing not to
accept or act upon telephonic or electronic communications from Borrower, Administrative Agent shall have no liability to Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower as a result of Administrative Agent’s honoring of any requests,
execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Administrative Agent by Borrower and Administrative Agent shall have no
duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the authority of the Person sending it, other than to verify that the Person purporting to make such request is a Person or officer identified by Borrower to Administrative Agent as having the
authority to make such request. 
 Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of
each Revolving Loan requested by Borrower, or deemed to be requested by Borrower, as follows: the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested under Section 2(a) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent in lawful money of the United
States of America in immediately available funds, in the case of the initial borrowing, in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrower, and in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire transfer or Automated
Clearing House (ACH) transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrower and Administrative Agent from time to time, or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from Borrower.

unused line fee equal to one-fourth of one percent (.25%) for the period through and including August 12, 2009 and one-half of one percent (.50%) at all times thereafter of the difference between the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit and the average
daily balance of the Revolving Loans plus the Letter of Credit Obligations for each calendar quarter through and including June 30, 2009 and thereafter for each calendar month, which fee shall be fully earned by Lenders and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter through June 30, 2009 and thereafter payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month (commencing August 31, 2009). Said fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day
year. 
 (iii) Agency Fees: Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the fees described in

 9 








 
acceptable to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall establish an account (the “Lock Box Account”) in Administrative Agent’s name with a
financial institution acceptable to Administrative Agent, into which all payments received in the Lock Box shall be deposited, and into which Borrower will immediately deposit all payments received by Borrower on Accounts in the identical form in
which such payments were received, whether by cash or check. If Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary, any shareholder, officer, director, employee or agent of Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary, or any other Person acting for or in concert
with Borrower shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to or as Proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, Borrower and each such Person shall receive all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive
property of, Administrative Agent and, immediately upon receipt thereof, shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to the Lock Box Account. The financial institution with which the Lock Box Account is established shall
acknowledge and agree, in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent, that the amounts on deposit in such Lock Box and Lock Box Account are the sole and exclusive property of Administrative Agent, that such financial institution will follow the
instructions of Administrative Agent with respect to disposition of funds in the Lock Box and Lock Box Account without further consent from Borrower, that such financial institution has no right to setoff against the Lock Box or Lock Box Account or
against any other account maintained by such financial institution into which the contents of the Lock Box or Lock Box Account are transferred, and that such financial institution shall wire, or otherwise transfer in immediately available funds to
Administrative Agent in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent, funds deposited in the Lock Box Account on a daily basis as such funds are collected. Borrower agrees that all payments made to such Lock Box Account or otherwise received by
Administrative Agent, whether in respect of the Accounts or as Proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise, will be applied on account of the Liabilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided prior to the occurrence of any
Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, such lockbox collections shall be first applied to reduce the Revolving Loans and any interest or fees then due and owing hereunder. Borrower agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses in connection
with opening and maintaining the Lock Box and Lock Box Account. All of such fees, costs and expenses if not paid by Borrower, may be paid by Administrative Agent and in such event all amounts paid by Administrative Agent shall constitute Liabilities
hereunder, shall be payable to Administrative Agent by Borrower upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to 

  

 10 








 
Loans hereunder. All checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or Proceeds of Collateral shall be endorsed by Borrower to Administrative Agent,
and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason, Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on Borrower’s behalf. For the purpose of this section, Borrower irrevocably hereby makes,
constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent (and all Persons designated by Administrative Agent for that purpose) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact (i) to endorse Borrower’s name upon said items of payment
and/or Proceeds of Collateral and upon any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any Account of Borrower or Goods pertaining thereto; (ii) to take control in any manner of any item of payment
or Proceeds thereof and (iii) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any of Borrower’s mail is deposited, and open and process all mail addressed to Borrower and deposited therein. 
 (b) Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time, whether before or after notification to any Account Debtor and whether
before or after the maturity of any of the Liabilities, (i) enforce collection of any of Borrower’s Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrower by suit or otherwise; (ii) exercise all of Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect
to proceedings brought to collect any Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrower; (iii) surrender, release or exchange all or any part of any Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrower, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether
or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; (iv) sell or assign any Account of Borrower or other amount owed to Borrower upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as Administrative Agent deems
advisable; (v) prepare, file and sign Borrower’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against any Account Debtor or other Person obligated to Borrower; and (vi) do all other acts and things which are
necessary, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to fulfill Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the Other Agreements and to allow Administrative Agent to collect the Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrower. In addition
to any other provision hereof, Administrative Agent may at any time, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Borrower’s expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Accounts to make payment directly to Administrative Agent of any
amounts due or to become due thereunder. 
 (c) Administrative Agent shall, after receipt by Administrative Agent at its
office in Chicago, Illinois of (i) checks and (ii) cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items of payment and Proceeds of any Collateral, apply 

  

 11 








 
the whole or any part of such collections or Proceeds, subject to actual collection, against the Liabilities in such order as Administrative Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion; provided that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, such amounts shall be applied to payment of the Revolving Loans and any interest or fees then due and owing
hereunder. 
 (d) On a monthly basis, Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower an account statement showing all Loans,
charges and payments, which shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower unless Borrower notifies Administrative Agent in writing, specifying any error therein, within sixty (60) days of the date such account statement is sent to
Borrower and any such notice shall only constitute an objection to the items specifically identified.
