from any claim (other than any claim as to which a final determination is made in a judicial
proceeding (in which the Indemnified Person has had an opportunity to be heard), which
determination includes a specific finding that the Indemnified Person had committed willful
misconduct or acted in a grossly negligent manner or in actual bad faith) brought or threatened
against any Indemnified Person by: the Borrower; the Facility Guarantors; any other guarantor or
endorser of the Liabilities; or any other Person (as well as from reasonable attorneys’ fees,
expenses and disbursements in connection therewith) on account of the relationship of any
Indemnified Person with the Borrower, the Facility Guarantors, or any other guarantor or endorser
of the Liabilities (each of which may be defended, compromised, settled, or pursued by the Agent
with counsel of the Agent’s selection, but at the reasonable expense of the Facility Guarantors).

     Interest: The Facility Guarantors will pay on demand interest on all amounts
due under this Guaranty, or arising under any documents, instruments, or agreements relating to any
collateral securing this Guaranty, from the time the Agent first demands payment of this Guaranty
at a rate (determined based upon a 360 day year and actual days elapsed) equal to the aggregate of
the then applicable rate under the Second Restated Loan Agreement (including the

-2-

 

Applicable Margin) for Base Margin Loans and/or LIBOR Loans, as applicable, plus two percent
(2%) per annum.

     Obligations Not Affected: The respective obligations of the Facility
Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected by: any fraudulent, illegal, or improper act by the
Borrower, any of the Facility Guarantors, or any Person liable or obligated to the Secured Parties
for or on the Liabilities; any release, discharge, or invalidation, by operation of law or
otherwise, of the Liabilities; or the legal incapacity of the Borrower, any of the Facility
Guarantors, or any other Person liable or obligated to the Secured Parties for or on the
Liabilities. Interest and Costs of Collection shall continue to accrue and shall continue to be
deemed Liabilities guaranteed hereby notwithstanding any stay to the enforcement thereof against
the Borrower or any of the Facility Guarantors or disallowance of any claim therefor against the
Borrower or any of the Facility Guarantors.

     Incorporation Of All Discussions: This instrument and the other Loan
Documents executed by the Facility Guarantors incorporates all discussions and negotiations between
the Facility Guarantors and the Secured Parties concerning the guaranty and indemnification
provided by the Facility Guarantors hereby. No such discussions or negotiations shall limit,

waived, canceled or modified, except by a written instrument executed, sealed, and acknowledged by
a duly authorized officer of the Agent.

and protest with respect to the Liabilities and this Guaranty; any delay on the part of the Agent
or any other Secured Party; any right to require the Agent or any other Secured Party to pursue or
to proceed against the Borrower or any one of the Facility Guarantors or any collateral which might
have been granted to secure the Liabilities or to secure the obligations of any of the Facility
Guarantors hereunder; any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral which may
secure the Liabilities; any claim which any of the Facility Guarantors may have or to which any of
the Facility Guarantors may become entitled to the extent that such claim might otherwise cause any
transfer to the Secured Parties by or on behalf of the Borrower to be avoided as having been, or in
the nature of, a preference; and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty.

     Waiver of Subrogation: None of the Facility Guarantors shall undertake any of
the following:

     (a) Exercise of any right against the Borrower or any other Facility Guarantor, by way
of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, contribution, or the like unless and until all
Liabilities have been irrevocably paid and satisfied in full.

Indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter held by any of the Facility Guarantors for borrowed
money is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Liabilities. None of the Facility
Guarantors will demand, sue for, or otherwise attempt to collect any such Indebtedness. Any
amounts which are collected, enforced and received by any of the Facility Guarantors shall be held
by that Person as trustee for the Agent and shall be paid over to the Agent on account of the
Liabilities without affecting in any manner the liability of that Person under this Guaranty.

     Agent’s Books and Records: The books and records of the Agent showing the
account between the Agent and the Borrower shall be admissible in any action or proceeding and

Person hereunder or against any other Person liable for or on the Liabilities prior to proceeding
against any of the Facility Guarantors hereunder.

     Changes In Liabilities: Each of the Facility Guarantors assents to any
indulgence or waiver which the Agent or any other Secured Party might grant or give the Borrower,
any other Facility Guarantor and/or any other Person liable or obligated for or on the Liabilities.
Each of the Facility Guarantors authorizes the Agent or any other Secured Party to alter, amend,
cancel, waive, or modify any term or condition of the Liabilities and of the obligations of any
other Person liable or obligated for or on the Liabilities, without notice to, or consent from, any
of the Facility Guarantors. No compromise, settlement, or release by the Agent or any other
Secured Party of the Liabilities or of the obligations of any such other Person (whether or not
jointly liable with any of the Facility Guarantors) and no release of any collateral securing the
Liabilities or securing the obligations of any such other Person shall affect the obligations of

has been assented to herein shall affect the obligations of any of the Facility Guarantors
hereunder.

information required with respect to the Facility Guarantors pursuant to, and in accordance with,

Agent).

     Binding Effect: This instrument shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and
each other Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns; shall be binding upon the
respective successors, representatives, and assigns of each of the Facility Guarantors; and shall
apply to all Liabilities of the Borrower and any of its successors, including any successor by
operation of law.

     Agent’s Rights and Remedies: The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and
discretions of the Agent hereunder (herein, the “Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative

constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Agent of any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies or
of any default or remedies under any other agreement with any of the Facility Guarantors, or of any
default under any agreement with the Borrower, or any other Person liable or obligated for or on
the Liabilities, shall operate as a waiver of any other of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies or of
any default or remedy hereunder or thereunder. No exercise of any of the Agent’s Rights and
Remedies and no other agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Agent
and: any of the Facility Guarantors; and the Borrower; and/or any such other Person at any time
shall preclude any other exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies. No waiver by the Agent of
any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any
subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. All of the Agent’s Rights and
Remedies, and all of the Agent’s rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions under any
other agreement or transaction with any of the Facility Guarantors, the Borrower, or any such other
Person, shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Agent at
such time or times and in such order of preference as the Agent in its sole discretion may
determine.

     Copies and Facsimiles: This instrument and all documents which have been or
may be hereinafter furnished by any of the Facility Guarantors to the Agent or any other Secured
Party may be reproduced by the Agent or by that Secured Party by any photographic, microfilm,
xerographic, digital imaging, or other process. Any such reproduction shall be admissible in
evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the
original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in the regular course of
business). Any facsimile which bears proof of transmission shall be binding on the party which or
on whose behalf such transmission was initiated and likewise so admissible in evidence as if the
original of such facsimile had been delivered to the party which or on whose behalf such
transmission was received.

     Choice of Laws: This instrument shall be governed, construed, and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to principles
of conflicts of laws thereof.

or reorganization of any of the Facility Guarantors, or otherwise, all as though such payment had
not been made or value received.

Exhibit 10.99

SUB-LICENSE AGREEMENT BETWEEN

RETAIL VENTURES LICENSING, INC. AND FILENE’S BASEMENT, INC.

     This Sub-License Agreement (“Agreement”), effective January 23, 2008, is entered into by and
between Retail Ventures Licensing, Inc., a Delaware corporation, located and doing business at 3241
Westerville Road, Columbus, Ohio 43224 (“RVLI”) and Filene’s Basement, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, located and doing business at 3241 Westerville Road, Columbus, Ohio 43224 (“FB”).

     WHEREAS, FB desires to obtain a license from RVLI under the trademarks, trade names and
symbols set out in Exhibit A hereto (“the Marks”) solely for use in connection with the goods set
out in Exhibit B hereto (“the Goods”); and

     WHEREAS, RVLI desires to license FB under the Marks solely for use in connection with the
Goods.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
RVLI hereby grants to FB a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use
the Marks and to enjoy the goodwill symbolized thereby in connection with the marketing, promotion,
distribution, offer for sale and sale of the Goods, such license to be valid only within the United
States (the “Territory”).

     2. Upon prior written notice to RVLI, this Agreement is assignable, and the Marks and
registrations thereof and applications therefor sublicensable, by FB to its affiliates, including
Filene’s Basement, Inc. FB may also assign this Agreement to a purchaser of substantially the
entire of any of Retail Ventures, Inc.’s retail department store businesses. FB must notify RVLI
of the assignment in writing, and any such assignee must expressly agree in writing in a form
satisfactory to RVLI to be bound by

Page 1 of 7

 

the terms of this Agreement. Other than as provided herein, FB may not assign or sublicense
the license granted in this Agreement. This Agreement is freely assignable by RVLI.

     3. FB and its sub-licensee(s) shall use the Marks solely in connection with the Goods, and to
such additional goods as RVLI agrees, at its sole discretion and upon written request by FB, to be
added to Exhibit B.

     4. If, after the Marks are placed into use, FB and/or its sub-licensee(s) cease or intend to
cease use of any of the Marks for more than forty-five (45) days, FB shall notify RVLI of that
decision in writing. If, after the Marks are placed into use, FB and/or its sub-licensee(s) cease
to use of any of the Marks for more than forty-five (45) days, the license with respect to such
Mark(s) shall be terminated.

     5. FB acknowledges that the continued maintenance of the significance and value of the Marks
and their associated goodwill, the continued maintenance of the quality standards, and the
merchandising of products associated with the Marks, are all essential elements of the license
granted herein. Accordingly, FB agrees:

     a. that it will maintain the quality of all goods sold under the Marks at the same level as
are being maintained as of the effective date of this Agreement, that it will do nothing that will
degrade or bring into ill repute any of the Marks, that the goods sold under the Marks shall meet
quality specifications supplied by RVLI, if any, and that it shall in all reasonable ways aid RVLI
to exercise quality control over the Goods sold by FB under the Marks;

     b. RVLI, or its duly authorized representatives, shall have the right upon reasonable notice
during regular business hours, not to exceed once per calendar year per

Page 2 of 7

 

facility, to inspect the retail and manufacturing business operations of FB and/or its
sub-licensee(s) to the extent they relate to the Goods being marketed, distributed, offered for
sale and/or sold under the Marks for compliance with the quality specifications, such inspection to
be at RVLI’s expense; and

     c. all products made available under the Marks shall be manufactured, sold, marketed,
advertised and rendered in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

     6. In the event RVLI determines, through an inspection or otherwise, that FB and/or its
sub-licensee(s) are not in compliance with the quality requirements of paragraph 5 of this
Agreement, including the requirement that FB will do nothing that will degrade or bring into ill
repute any of the Marks, RVLI shall notify FB in writing of the determination and specify the basis
of the determination. FB shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of the written notice in which to
correct the non-compliance identified in the written notice. In the event FB and/or its
sub-licensee(s) fail to correct the non-compliance within sixty (60) days, RVLI has the right, but
not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement, such termination to be provided in writing.

     7. FB acknowledges RVLI’s exclusive ownership of, and the validity of, the Marks, and agrees
that it will not, during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, contest or question RVLI’s
ownership of, or the validity of, the Marks. FB also acknowledges that any such rights, and all
goodwill relating to the Marks, which may arise in connection with FB’s use of the Marks shall
inure to the benefit of and be the property of RVLI. FB further agrees not to register or attempt
to register any of the Marks, or any derivative or confusingly similar mark thereto, anywhere in
the world.

Page 3 of 7

 

     8. Whenever requested by RVLI during the Agreement, FB and/or its sub-licensee(s) shall
execute such documents or applications RVLI may deem necessary to confirm RVLI’s ownership of all
such rights, to maintain the validity of the Marks, or to obtain or maintain registrations thereof.

     9. In the event FB and/or its sub-licensee(s) wish to use a variation or derivative of one of
the Marks, FB shall immediately notify RVLI in writing of the variation or derivative. If RVLI
agrees to such a variation or derivative, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, such
variation or derivative shall be added to the Marks, and Exhibits A and B hereto shall be amended,
