Each of the Loan Parties agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on each of the Loan Parties to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Loan Parties enforceable against such in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered.   Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and the Lenders and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Agent and each of the Credit Parties of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into pdf format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for 
DB1/ 115646120.4

transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Agent and each of the Credit Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (an “Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document.  All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Agent and each of the Credit Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.  For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

Exhibit 10.2

August 28, 2020

GameStop Corp.
625 Westport Parkway
Grapevine, Texas 76051  

Re:       Uncommitted Letter of Credit Facility

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are pleased to advise you that BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (the “Lender”), as of August 28, 2020, has established for GAMESTOP CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Lead Borrower”) and the other Borrowers party hereto (together with the Lead Borrower, both individually and collectively, the “Borrower” or the “Borrowers”), jointly and severally, an uncommitted letter of credit facility in an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, at any one time (x) from the date hereof through February 14, 2021, $150,000,000, and (y) from February 15, 2021 through the Maturity Date, $75,000,000 (such amount as in effect from time to time hereunder, the “Maximum Amount”). Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the attached Exhibit A.  

The terms and conditions of the letter of credit facility are as follows:

1.         Letters of Credit.

1.1       Discretionary Nature.  All advances of credit (which shall be in the form of Letters of Credit) under this uncommitted letter of credit facility (“Advances”) shall be at the sole discretion of the Lender.  This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) is not a commitment by the Lender to extend credit and the Lender may at any time, without prejudicing its rights, terminate this Agreement and the availability of the letter of credit facility with or without notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Advances extended to one Borrower hereunder shall reduce availability under this Agreement for any other Borrower hereunder.

1.2       [Reserved].

1.3       Letters of Credit. 

(a)        Letters of Credit. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers may request and the Lender may issue letters of credit for the account of the Borrowers in U.S. dollars (“Letters of Credit”); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to request any Letters of Credit and the Lender shall not be obligated to issue any Letters of Credit and (ii) the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder shall not at any time exceed the Maximum Amount as in effect from time to time. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to fees agreed to by the Lead Borrower and the Lender at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  

DB1/ 115699066.6

Exhibit 10.2

(b)        Requests for Letters of Credit.  Any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit must be made in accordance with procedures specified by the Lender.  Drawings under each Letter of Credit shall be payable in accordance with the Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit or other form of reimbursement agreement (the “Application”; and collectively, the “Applications”) executed and delivered by the Lead Borrower, and acceptable to the Lender, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date that is beyond the earlier of (i) six months from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) August 31, 2021.            

(c)        Cash Security.  Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, the Borrowers shall provide the Lender with cash security for such outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 103% of the undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit (the provision of such cash security with respect to any Letter of Credit being the “Cash Collateralization” of such Letter of Credit). Such cash security shall be governed by the Cash Collateral Agreement (as defined below).

(d)        Reimbursement; Payment of Fees and Interest.  

(i)         Unless otherwise agreed in the Applications, if the Lender is required to fund any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Lender shall debit the cash security maintained pursuant to clause (c) above to reimburse such drawing, without notice to or demand from any Borrower.

(ii)        The Lender shall debit any amount payable pursuant to Section 1.4(a) below from the cash security maintained pursuant to clause (c) above on the date set forth in Section 1.4(a) below unless a different method of payment is otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and the Lender.

1.4       Commissions, Fees, etc.  

(a)          The Borrowers shall pay the Lender, for its own account in accordance with Section 1.3(d)(ii) above, on the first day of each calendar quarter, in arrears, a commission with respect to each Letter of Credit (each, a “Letter of Credit Commission”) equal to 2.50% per annum multiplied by the daily undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit for the period in which such Letter of Credit was outstanding during the immediately preceding calendar quarter.  Any additional fees, including issuance fees and fronting fees, on Letters of Credit shall be payable in respect of each Letter of Credit as agreed to by the Lender and the Borrower at the time such Letter of Credit is issued and shall be due and payable by the Borrower as set forth in the relevant Application.

(b)        If at any time a Letter of Credit is insufficiently Cash Collateralized and not reimbursed in full upon drawing pursuant to Section 1.3(d) above, such outstanding amount shall bear interest payable upon demand, for each day from and including the date such reimbursement of the drawing was required to but excluding the date of actual payment at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Alternative Rate.  The Lender may, if and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with the Lender any amount so due.

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law 
DB1/ 115699066.6

Exhibit 10.2

(the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest shall be refunded to the relevant Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the stated term of this Agreement.

(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a petition shall be filed by or against the Borrower under any law relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency, then any unpaid Letter of Credit Commission under Section 1.4(a) above and any unpaid interest under Section 1.4(b) above shall become immediately due and payable.
