BACKGROUND

A. The Borrower has executed and delivered to the Bank one or more promissory notes, letter
agreements, loan agreements, security agreements, mortgages, pledge agreements, collateral
assignments, and other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents, some or all of which
are more fully described on attached Exhibit A, which is made a part of this Amendment
(each as amended from time to time, a “Loan Document”; and collectively the “Loan
Documents”) which evidence or secure some or all of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank for
one or more loans or other extensions of credit (the “Obligations”).

B. The Borrower and the Bank desire to amend the Loan Documents as provided for in this
Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Certain of the Loan Documents are amended as set forth in Exhibit A. Any and all
references to any Loan Document in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such Loan
Document as so amended by this Amendment. This Amendment is deemed incorporated into each of the
Loan Documents. Any initially capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall
have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Loan Documents. To the extent that any term or
provision of this Amendment is or may be inconsistent with any term or provision in any Loan
Document, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall control.

2. The Borrower hereby certifies that: (a) all of its representations and warranties in the
Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment or amended and restated by the $30MM Restated Note and
the Restated Loan Agreement, are, except as may otherwise be stated in this Amendment, and except
for the change in the chief executive office of each Borrower (the current address of each Borrower
appearing at the beginning of this Amendment), and except for the change in the jurisdiction of
organization of A.C. Moore Incorporated to the Commonwealth of Virginia (i) true and correct as of
the date of this Amendment except those specifically made as of an earlier date, (ii) ratified and
confirmed without condition as if made anew except those specifically made as of an earlier date,
and (iii) incorporated into this Amendment by reference, (b) no Default or event which, with the
passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a Default, exists under any Loan
Document which will not be cured by the execution and effectiveness of this Amendment, (c) no
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration or filing with, any third party is
required in connection with the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Amendment or, if
required, has been obtained, and (d) this Amendment
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws related to or
limiting creditor’s rights generally or equitable principles related thereto. The Borrower
confirms that the Obligations remain outstanding without defense, set off, counterclaim, discount
or charge of any kind as of the date of this Amendment.

 

 

 

3. The Borrower hereby confirms that any collateral for the Obligations, including liens,
security interests, mortgages, and pledges granted by the Borrower or third parties (if
applicable), shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect, and shall cover and secure all
of the Borrower’s existing and future Obligations to the Bank, as modified by this Amendment.

4. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Borrower shall comply
with the terms and conditions (if any) specified in Exhibit A.

5. To induce the Bank to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower waives and releases and
forever discharges the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents, and employees from any
liability, damage, claim, loss or expense of any kind that it may have as of the date hereof
against the Bank or any of them arising out of or relating to the Obligations. The Borrower
further agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents and
employees harmless from any loss, damage, judgment, liability or expense (including attorneys’
fees) suffered by or rendered against the Bank or any of them on account of any claims arising out
of or relating to the Obligations, except to the extent any claim, loss, damage, judgment,
liability or expense results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank. The
Borrower further states that it has carefully read the foregoing release and indemnity, knows the
contents thereof and grants the same as its own free act and deed.

6. This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties to this
Amendment on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by
facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. Any
party so executing this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually
executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the
counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.

7. This Amendment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Bank
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

8. This Amendment has been delivered to and accepted by the Bank and will be deemed to be made
in the State of New Jersey. This Amendment will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of
the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, excluding its
conflict of laws rules.

9. Except as amended hereby, or amended and restated by the $30MM Restated Note and the
Restated Loan Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents remain unchanged, are and
shall remain in full force and effect unless and until modified or amended in writing in accordance
with their terms, and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Except as expressly provided herein, this
Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any
provision of any Loan Document, a waiver of any default or Event of Default under any Loan
Document, or a waiver or release of any of the Bank’s rights and remedies (all of which are hereby
reserved). The Borrower expressly ratifies and confirms the waiver of jury trial provision
contained in the Loan Documents.

Summit, New Jersey 07901

(Hereinafter referred to as “Bank”)

Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, at
its office indicated above or wherever else Bank may specify, the sum of Thirty Million and No/100
Dollars ($30,000,000.00) or such sum as may be advanced and outstanding from time to time, with
interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate and on the terms provided in this Amended &
Restated Promissory Note (including all renewals, extensions or modifications hereof, this “Note”).

LOAN AGREEMENT. This Note is subject to the provisions of that certain Amended & Restated Loan
Agreement between Bank and Borrower of even date herewith, as modified from time to time (the “Loan
Agreement”).

LINE OF CREDIT. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, and, upon the request of Borrower, Bank
shall advance and readvance under this Note from time to time until the maturity hereof (each an
"Advance” and together the “Advances”), so long as the total principal balance outstanding under
this Note at any one time does not exceed the principal amount stated on the face of this Note,
subject to the limitations described in the Loan Agreement to which this Note is subject. Bank’s
obligation to make Advances under this Note shall terminate if Borrower is in Default. As of the
date of each proposed Advance, Borrower shall be deemed to represent that each representation made
in the Loan Documents is true as of such date, except for those representations that apply to a
specific date. 30-Day Payout. During the term of the Note, Borrower agrees to pay down the
outstanding balance to a maximum of $100.00 for 30 consecutive days annually.

 

 

 

If Borrower subscribes to Bank’s cash management services and such services are applicable to this
line of credit, the terms of such service shall control the manner in which funds are transferred
between the applicable demand deposit account and the line of credit for credit or debit to the
line of credit.

USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the loan(s) evidenced by this Note for the
commercial purposes of Borrower, as follows: working capital and planned expansion of leased
retail stores, including a sublimit of up to $12,500,000 available to fund documentary/standby
letters of credit.

SECURITY. Borrower has granted Bank a security interest in the collateral described in the
Security Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2003.

INTEREST RATE. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of each Advance from the date
of such Advance at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate, plus the Margin (each, an
"Interest Rate”). “LIBOR Market Index Rate”, for any day, means the rate for 1 month U.S. dollar
deposits as reported on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day, or if such
day is not a London business day, then the immediately preceding London business day (or if not so
reported, then as determined by Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

The “Margin” means the applicable margin based upon the following Debt Service Coverage Ratio
(“DSCR”) as defined in the Loan Agreement, as follows:

DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO — TRAILING 12 MONTHS

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	GREATER	 	 	 	 	LESS THAN	 	 	 	 
	THAN	 	 	 	 	OR EQUAL TO	 	 	MARGIN	 
	 	1.75	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	0.50	%
	 	1.35	 	 	 
	 	 	1.75	 	 	 	0.65	%
	 	1.25	 	 	 
	 	 	1.35	 	 	 	0.90	%

In each case, the determination of the Margin pursuant to the table set forth above shall be made
by Bank on a quarterly basis based on an examination of the financial statements delivered pursuant
to and in compliance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. Each determination of the Margin shall
be effective five (5) days following the date on which the financial statements on which such
determination was based are received by the Bank. Bank and Borrower have agreed that the Margin
shall be fixed at .65% for the period from the date hereof until Bank’s receipt of the required
financial statements for Borrower for the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2008. In the event
that financial statements for the fiscal quarter most recently completed prior to such date of
determination (including without limitation the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2008) have not
been delivered to the Bank in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement, then
the Bank may determine, in its reasonable judgment, the applicable Debt Service Coverage Ratio
referred to above that would have been in effect as at such date, and, consequently, the Margin in
effect for the period commencing on such date. Nothing contained in this definition shall be
construed, in any fashion, as altering or superseding the rights of the Bank, following the
occurrence of a Default hereunder (including, without limitation, as a result of a breach by the
Borrower of the financial covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement) to charge interest on any
loan(s) outstanding hereunder at the Default Rate (as such term is defined hereinafter).

INCREASED COSTS. If any change in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, or any Regulatory Change (as such term is defined hereinafter), in each case occurring
after the date hereof (i) shall subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this
Note, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of the principal of or interest
on any amounts owed to or funded by it under this Note or any other amounts due under this Note or
the Loan Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank imposed
by the United States of America, or the jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office is
located), (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation,
any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any
reserve included in the determination of the Interest Rate), special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, Bank, (iii) shall
change the amount of capital maintained or required  or requested

 

Page 2

 

or directed to be maintained by
Bank; or (iv) shall impose on Bank any other condition affecting any loan or advance made or funded
by Bank under this Note or the Loan Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is or would
be to (a) increase the cost to (or in the case of Regulation D referred to above, to impose a cost
on) Bank, (b) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this Note or the
Loan Agreement, or (c) in the good faith determination of Bank, reduce the rate of return on the
capital of Bank as a consequence of its obligations under the Loan Agreement or arising in
connection therewith to a level below that which Bank could otherwise have achieved, then within
ten (10) days after demand by Bank to Borrower (which demand shall be accompanied by a written
statement setting forth the basis of such demand), Borrower shall pay Bank such additional amount
or amounts as will (in the reasonable determination of Bank) compensate Bank for such increased
cost or such reduction. Such written statement (which shall include calculations in reasonable
detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject
matter thereof. “Regulatory Change” means (i) any change in (or the adoption, implementation,
change in the phase-in or commencement of effectiveness of) any: (A) United States Federal or state
law or foreign law applicable to Bank; or (B) regulation, interpretation, directive, requirement or
request (whether or not having the force of law) applicable to Bank of (1) any court or government
authority charged with the interpretation or administration of any law applicable to Bank, or of
(2) any fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over Bank or (ii) any change in the
application to Bank of any existing law, regulation, interpretation, directive, requirement or
request referred to above.

DEFAULT RATE. In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a Default occurs, and as
long as a Default continues, all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Interest Rate
(as in effect on the date of Default) plus 3% (“Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall also apply
from acceleration until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.

NOTICE AND MANNER OF BORROWING. Borrower shall give Bank irrevocable telephonic notice of each
proposed Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. local time at the office of Bank first shown above at
least 2 business days before each proposed Advance. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date of
such Advance, which shall be a business day, and (ii) the amount of each Advance. Notices received
after 11:00 a.m. local time at the office of Bank first shown above shall be deemed received on the
next business day.

INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUAL/360). Interest and fees, if any, shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the applicable period (“Actual/360
Computation”). The Actual/360 Computation determines the annual effective yield by taking the
stated (nominal) rate for a year’s period and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily
periodic rate to be applied for each day in the applicable period. Application of the Actual/360
Computation produces an annualized effective rate exceeding the nominal rate.

REPAYMENT TERMS. This Note shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued
interest only, commencing on June 1, 2008, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter
until fully paid. In any event, all principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on May
30, 2009.

AUTOMATIC DEBIT OF CHECKING ACCOUNT FOR LOAN PAYMENT. Borrower authorizes Bank to debit any
account with Bank designated by Borrower, beginning June 1, 2008 for any payments due under this
Note. Borrower further certifies that Borrower holds legitimate ownership of this account and
preauthorizes this periodic debit as part of its right under said ownership.

APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Monies received by Bank from any source for application toward payment of
the Obligations shall be applied to accrued interest and then to principal. If a Default occurs,
monies may be applied to the Obligations in any manner or order deemed appropriate by Bank.

 

Page 3

 

If any payment received by Bank under this Note or other Loan Documents is rescinded, avoided or
for any reason returned by Bank because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the returned
payment shall remain payable as an obligation of all persons liable under this Note or other Loan
Documents as though such payment had not been made.

DEFINITIONS. Loan Documents. The term “Loan Documents”, as used in this Note and the other Loan
Documents, refers to all documents executed in connection with the loan evidenced by this Note and
any prior notes which evidence all or any portion of the loan evidenced by this Note, and any
letters of credit issued pursuant to any loan agreement to which this Note is subject, any
applications for such letters of credit and any other documents executed in connection therewith,
and may include, without limitation, a commitment letter that survives closing, a loan agreement,
this Note, guaranty agreements, security agreements, security instruments, financing statements,
mortgage instruments, any renewals or modifications, whenever any of the foregoing are executed,
but does not include swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101), as in effect from time to
time. Obligations. The term “Obligations”, as used in this Note and the other Loan Documents,
refers to any and all indebtedness and other obligations under this Note, all other obligations
under any other Loan Document(s), and all obligations under any swap agreements (as defined in 11
U.S.C. § 101 as in effect from time to time) executed between Borrower and Bank whenever executed.
Certain Other Terms. All terms that are used but not otherwise defined in any of the Loan
Documents shall have the definitions provided in the Uniform Commercial Code.

LATE CHARGE. If any payments are not timely made, Borrower shall also pay to Bank a late charge
equal to 5% of each payment past due for 10 or more days.

Acceptance by Bank of any late payment without an accompanying late charge shall not be deemed a
waiver of Bank’s right to collect such late charge or to collect a late charge for any subsequent
late payment received.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COLLECTION COSTS. Borrower shall pay all of Bank’s reasonable expenses
incurred to enforce or collect any of the Obligations after Default including, without limitation,
reasonable arbitration, paralegals’, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether incurred
without the commencement of a suit, in any trial, arbitration, or administrative proceeding, or in
any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.

USURY. If at any time the effective interest rate under this Note would, but for this paragraph,
exceed the maximum lawful rate, the effective interest rate under this Note shall be the maximum
lawful rate, and any amount received by Bank in excess of such rate shall be applied to principal
and then to fees and expenses, or, if no such amounts are owing, returned to Borrower.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Applicable Law; Conflict Between Documents. This Note and, unless
otherwise provided in any other Loan Document, the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and
construed under the laws of the state named in Bank’s address on the first page hereof without
regard to that state’s conflict of laws principles. If the terms of this Note should conflict with
the terms of any loan agreement or any commitment letter that survives closing, the terms of this
Note shall control. Severability. If any provision of this Note or of the other Loan Documents
shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective but only
to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Note or other such document. Plural; Captions. All
references in the Loan Documents to Borrower, guarantor, person, document or other nouns of
reference mean both the singular and plural form, as the case may be, and the term “person” shall
mean any individual, person or entity. The captions contained in the Loan Documents are inserted
for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Loan Documents.
Advances. Bank may, in its sole discretion, make other advances which shall be deemed to be
advances under this Note, even though the stated principal amount of this Note may be exceeded as a
result thereof. Posting of Payments. All payments received during normal banking hours after
2:00 p.m. local time at the office of Bank first shown above shall be deemed received at the
opening of the next banking day. Joint and Several Obligations. Each person who signs this Note
as a Borrower (as defined herein) is jointly and severally obligated.

way extinguish, cancel or satisfy the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to repay all indebtedness

intended to extinguish, cancel or impair the lien priority or effect of any security agreement,
pledge agreement or mortgage with respect to Borrower’s or any guarantor’s obligations hereunder
