ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT

setting forth terms of

SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

of

The Finish Line, Inc.

Pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of Section 23-1-25-2 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the “IBCL”), The Finish Line, Inc., an Indiana Corporation (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify:

Article I

The name of the corporation filing these Articles of Amendment is The Finish Line, Inc.

Article II

Under the authority vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation are hereby amended by adding thereto a new Section 5.12 within Article 5, to specify the designation and amount, relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no par value, as fixed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, as follows:

Clause 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 10,000.

Clause 2. Dividends and Distributions.

A. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the 15^th day of March, June, September, and December in each year (each such date being a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 10,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 10,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in Common Shares of the Corporation or a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Shares since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. If the Corporation at any time after September 11, 2017, declares or pays any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or effects a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares,

then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately before such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately before such event.

B. The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in subparagraph (A) of this Clause 2 simultaneously with its declaration of a dividend or distribution on the Common Shares (other than a dividend payable in Common Shares or a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares), provided that in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Shares during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

C. Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is before the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days before the date fixed for the payment thereof.

Clause 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

A. Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 10,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after September 11, 2017, declare or pay any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately before such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately before such event.

B. Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other Articles of Amendment of the Corporation, in the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Shares and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.

C. Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required for taking any corporate action.

Clause 4. Certain Restrictions.

A. Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Clause 2 of this Section 5.12 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

(i) declare or pay dividends on, or make any other distributions on, any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;

(ii) declare or pay dividends on, or make any other distributions on, any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (both as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or

(iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders

of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

B. The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under Section A of this Clause 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

Clause 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall constitute authorized but unissued Preferred Shares and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Shares to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein or in the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended.

Clause 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, (a) no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received $10,000 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, provided that if such amount shall be less than 10,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Shares, then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall instead participate with the Common Shares in such a manner that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive 10,000 times the aggregate amount that is distributed per share to holders of Common Shares, and (b) no distribution shall be made to the holders of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after September 11, 2017, declare or pay any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately at the time of such event under the proviso of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately before such event.

Clause 7. Consolidation, Merger, Exchange, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination, statutory share exchange or other transaction in which the Common Shares are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment

hereinafter set forth) equal to 10,000 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each Common Share is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after September 11, 2017, declare or pay any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately before such event.

Clause 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

Clause 9. Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank junior with respect to payment of dividends and on liquidation, dissolution and winding up to all series of the Corporation’s Preferred Shares hereafter issued that specifically provide that they shall rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock.

Clause 10. Fractional Shares. Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock.
