        substitute the following:

        Revolving Loan: Each Lender, severally, agrees to lend to Borrower from
        time to time its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Advance. The aggregate

        however that Borrower shall reduce the Revolving Loan to an amount not

        consecutive twenty-one (21) day period. Except as otherwise provided
        herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to make a Revolving Advance
        to the extent such Revolving Advance would cause the Revolving Loan
        (after giving effect to any immediate application of the proceeds
        thereof) to exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount.

1.2     Delete subsection 2.1(B)(2) in its entirety and substitute the

                  amount equal to the sum of (a) 85% of Eligible Accounts plus
                  (b) the lesser of (i) $75,000,000 and (ii) 60% of Eligible
                  Inventory (excluding Eligible Retail Inventory) ; and (c) less
                  in each case such reserves as Agent in its reasonable
                  discretion may elect to establish.

1.3     Add the following sentence to the end of Section 6. Financial Covenants:

        Financial Covenants contained in the Financial Covenant Rider shall not
        be reviewed unless the loan exceeds sixty percent (60%) of all Eligible
        Accounts.

                  automatically renew from year to year thereafter (each such

                  giving to Agent or (b) any Lender giving to Borrower and Agent
                  not less than 60 days prior written notice of its intention to
                  terminate at the end of the Original Term or at the end of any
                  Renewal Term (the "Termination Date"). The Commitments shall
                  terminate (unless earlier terminated) upon the earlier of (i)
                  the occurrence of an event specified in subsection 8.3 or (ii)
