Introductory Note

On June 18, 2018, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 25, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among The Finish Line, Inc. (“Finish Line” or the “Company”), JD Sports Fashion Plc (“JD Sports”), and Genesis Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), JD Sports completed its previously announced acquisition of Finish Line by way of the merger of Merger Sub with and into Finish Line (the “Merger”), with Finish Line surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of JD Sports.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, on June 18, 2018, Finish Line, The Finish Line USA, Inc., The Finish Line Distribution, Inc., Finish Line Transportation Co., Inc., and Spike’s Holding, LLC (as borrowers upon the closing of the Merger), Merger Sub (as borrower and borrowing agent until the closing of the merger), and Genesis Holdings, Inc. and The Finish Line MA, Inc. (as guarantors), entered into a new credit agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, as agent for the lenders named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Bank of America, N.A., as co-syndication agents, and PNC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as joint lead arrangers and bookrunners (the “Credit Agreement”), providing for an aggregate $315 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, consisting of a $300 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility and a $15 million first-in, last-out senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) . Proceeds from the Credit Facility were used to pay a portion of the Merger Consideration (defined below) and fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, to repay substantially all of the existing third party indebtedness of Finish Line, and to fund working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all the assets of Finish Line and its subsidiaries and Genesis Holdings, Inc. Genesis Holdings, Inc. and The Finish Line MA, Inc. guarantee repayment of the Credit Facility. The term of the Credit Facility will continue until June 18, 2023, unless sooner terminated as provided pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Loans under the Credit Facility will bear interest at: (i) with respect to revolving advances that are domestic rate loans under the Credit Facility, the sum of an applicable margin of between 0.25% to 0.50% (dependent upon the amount of the average undrawn availability), plus the greater of an alternate base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 0%; and (ii) with respect to LIBOR rate loans, the sum of an applicable margin of between 1.25% to 1.50% (dependent upon the amount of the average undrawn availability), plus the greater of the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 0%. Interest is payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter with respect to domestic rate loans and, with respect to LIBOR rate loans, at the end of each applicable interest period unless such interest period is longer than three months, in which case they are due at the end of each three month period. All accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable at the end of the term of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is subject to customary negative covenants and representations and warranties of Finish Line and the other borrowers and guarantors named therein.

This description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 18, 2018, Finish Line and its subsidiaries The Finish Line USA, Inc., The Finish Line Distribution, Inc., Finish Line Transportation Co., Inc., and Spike’s Holding, LLC, as borrowers, and The Finish Line MA, Inc., as guarantor, terminated the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2016, with PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger, and Sole Book Runner, and certain lenders named therein (the “Terminated Credit Agreement”). The Terminated Credit Agreement provided for an unsecured $125 million credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, with an expiration date of November 30, 2021. The Terminated Credit Agreement also provided that, under certain circumstances, Finish Line could increase the maximum amount of the credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200 million. The credit facility under the Terminated Credit Agreement was used by Finish Line, among other things, to issue letters of credit, support working capital needs, fund capital expenditures, and for other general corporate purposes.

Finish Line terminated the Terminated Credit Agreement in connection with the closing of the Merger and the entering into of the new Credit Facility described in Item 1.01 above. As of the date of termination, under the Terminated Credit Agreement Finish Line did not have any borrowings outstanding and had $2,146,247 in stand-by letters of credit outstanding. In addition, Finish Line did not incur any material early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Terminated Credit Agreement.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As described in the Introductory Note to this Current Report on Form 8-K, on June 18, 2018, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company, JD Sports, and Merger Sub completed the Merger, pursuant to which the Company became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of JD Sports.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding Class A Common Share, no par value per share, of the Company (“Company Common Shares”) (other than shares held by the Company in treasury or owned by any subsidiary of the Company, JD Sports, Merger Sub, or any other subsidiary of JD Sports) was automatically converted into the right to receive $13.50 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). In addition, at the Effective Time, all outstanding and unexercised stock options to purchase Company Common Shares (whether vested or unvested) granted under the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and its Amended and Restated 2009 Incentive Plan, as amended, were cancelled and each option-holder will receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of the Company Common Shares underlying such option, and (ii) the number of Company Common Shares subject to the option (net of withholding taxes and rounded down to the nearest whole cent). All Company stock options with an exercise price per share equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration were terminated at the Effective Time with no consideration paid in respect of such options. All amounts payable upon the cash-out of stock options will be paid by the surviving corporation no later than the first regular payroll date after the Effective Time. In addition, each award of Company restricted stock that was outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time became fully vested and free of forfeiture restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each Company Common Share represented by such share of restricted stock was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (net of withholding taxes). JD Sports funded the payment of the Merger Consideration through a combination of cash-on-hand and debt financing arranged by Barclays Bank PLC, HSBC Bank plc, PNC Bank, National Association, and PNC Capital Markets LLC (the “Lenders”).

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2018, and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth above under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On June 18, 2018, the Company notified the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”) of the effectiveness of the Merger. As a result, trading in the Company Common Shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market was suspended prior to the opening of trading on June 18, 2018, and the Company has requested that the NASDAQ file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 to effect the delisting

of the Company Common Shares and the deregistration of the Company Common Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, the Company Common Shares will no longer be listed on any national securities exchange. The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act requesting that its registration of the Company Common Shares under the Exchange Act be terminated and that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be terminated.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note, Item 2.01, Item 3.01, and Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

Upon the Effective Time, holders of Company Common Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time ceased to have any rights as shareholders of the Company (other than their right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement), as described in more detail in Item 2.01 above.

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.

As a result of the Merger, a change in control of the Company occurred, and the Company is now an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of JD Sports. The aggregate Merger Consideration paid by JD Sports in connection with the Merger was approximately $556.70 million, which amount was funded through a combination of cash-on-hand and debt financing provided by the Lenders described above.

The information regarding the Merger and Merger Agreement in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

(c)    in the case of either an annual or a special meeting, if the business to be transacted at the meeting relates to: (i) an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation pursuant to IC 23-1-38-3, shall state, contain or be accompanied by the information required by IC 23-1-38-3; (ii) the approval of a plan of merger or share exchange pursuant to IC 23-1-40-3, shall state, contain or be accompanied by the information required by IC 23-1-40-3; (iii) the sale, lease, exchange or disposition of the Corporation’s assets requiring shareholder approval pursuant to IC 23-1-41-2, shall state or contain the information required by IC 23-1-41-2; and (iv) corporate action creating dissenters’ rights under IC 23-1-44-8, shall state that shareholders are or may be entitled to assert dissenters’ rights under IC 23-1-44 et seq.

3.4.4    Waiver of Notice. A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver must be in writing, signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. In addition, a shareholder’s attendance at a meeting waives objections to the extent and in the manner provided by IC 23-1-29-6.

3.4.5    Adjourned Meetings. If any shareholder meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment, except in the case where a new record date for the adjourned meeting is, or must be, fixed, in which event notice of the adjourned meeting must be given pursuant to the requirements of this Section 3.4 to those persons who are shareholders entitled to notice as of the new record date. The Corporation may transact at the adjourned meeting any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

3.4.6    Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any annual or special meeting of shareholders, shareholders entitled to demand a special meeting or to take any other action, shareholders entitled to receive payment of any distribution or dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may fix a future date as the record date. Such record date shall not be more than seventy days before the meeting or action requiring such determination of shareholders. If no record date is so fixed by the Board of Directors for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of shareholders, shareholders entitled

5

to demand a special meeting or to take other action, or of shareholders entitled to receive a share dividend or distribution, the record date for determination of such shareholders shall be at the close of business on:

(a)    with respect to notice of, and voting at, an annual shareholder meeting or any special shareholder meeting called by the Board of Directors or any person specifically authorized by the Board of Directors or these Bylaws to call a meeting (other than shareholders), the date which is one calendar day before the first notice is delivered to shareholders;

(b)    with respect to the right to demand a special meeting of shareholders, the date the first shareholder signs the demand;

(c)    with respect to notice of, and voting at, a special shareholder’s meeting demanded by the shareholders, the date the first shareholder signs the demand;

(d)    with respect to the payment of a share dividend, the date the Board of Directors authorizes the share dividend;

(e)    with respect to actions taken in writing without a meeting pursuant to Section 3.7 of these Bylaws, the first date a signed written consent is delivered to the Corporation, unless prior action of the Board of Directors is required with respect to such shareholder action, in which case, the date shall be the day the resolution of the Board of Directors taking the prior action was adopted; and

(f)    with respect to a distribution to shareholders (other than one involving a repurchase or reacquisition of shares), the date the Board of Directors authorizes the distribution.

When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section 3.4.6, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

Section 3.5    Voting at Meetings.

3.5.1    Voting Rights. Subject to the provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law and these Bylaws, only persons in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the share records of the Corporation on the record date shall be entitled to vote at annual and special meetings of the shareholders. Except as otherwise provided by the Indiana Business Corporation Law or by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, at each annual and special meeting of the shareholders, each outstanding share of the Corporation standing in the shareholder’s name on the books of the Corporation shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at the meeting. If a quorum exists, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed votes cast opposing the action, unless the Articles of Incorporation or the Indiana Business Corporation Law require a greater number of affirmative votes. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, members of the Board of Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares

6

entitled to vote in the election at the meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, shareholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for directors. If the Articles of Incorporation or the Indiana Business Corporation Law provide for voting by a single voting group on a matter, any action on that matter is taken when voted upon by that voting group. Redeemable shares are not entitled to vote after notice of redemption is mailed to the shareholders and a sum sufficient to redeem the shares has been deposited with a bank, trust company or other financial institution under an irrevocable obligation to pay the shareholders the redemption price on surrender of the shares.

3.5.2    Voting By Proxy. A shareholder is entitled to vote either in person or by a proxy that conforms to the requirements of IC 23-1-30-3 and is received, at or before the meeting, by the Secretary or other person authorized to tabulate votes. The attendance or the vote at any meeting of a proxy of any shareholder so appointed shall for all purposes be considered as the attendance or vote in person of such shareholder. The appointment of a proxy shall be valid for eleven months from the date of its execution, unless a shorter or longer period is expressly provided in the appointment. Each appointment of a proxy shall be revocable by the shareholder unless it conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest as provided in IC 23-1-30-3.

3.5.3    Voice Voting; Written Ballot. Voting at any meeting of shareholders may be by voice vote or by written ballot, except that, in any election of directors, voting must be by written ballot if voting by written ballot is requested by any shareholder entitled to vote.

3.5.4    Quorum. At each annual or special meeting of shareholders, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on any matter at the meeting, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for action on that matter. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting, unless a new record date is or must be set for the adjourned meeting. If a quorum is not present or represented at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders, the meeting may be adjourned by majority vote of the shares entitled to vote which are present, either in person or by proxy, until such time as the requisite number of voting shares constituting a quorum is present. If, after adjournment, a new record date is set for the adjourned meeting, the existence of a quorum shall be redetermined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5.4.

Section 3.6    List of Shareholders. After fixing a record date for a meeting of shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the share transfer book of the Corporation shall prepare, in accordance with IC 23-1-30-1, a list of the shareholders of the Corporation entitled to notice of the meeting. Such list shall, subject to I.C. 23-1-52-2(c), be available for inspection and copying by any record shareholder (or his or her agent or attorney authorized in writing) during regular business hours and at such shareholder’s expense, beginning five business days before the date of the meeting for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting and any adjournment of the meeting, at the Corporation’s principal office or at a place

7

identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held. The original or duplicate share register or transfer book shall be the only evidence as to the persons who are entitled as shareholders to examine such list, the share ledger or transfer book, or to vote at such meeting.

Section 3.7    Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, and without prior notice, if consents in writing setting forth the action taken and bearing the date of signature of the shareholder(s) signing the consent are (a) signed by the holders of outstanding shares having at least the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and voted, and (b) delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Such consent has the effect of a vote taken at a meeting, may be described as a vote in any document and shall be effective when written consents signed by sufficient shareholders to take the action are delivered to the Corporation, unless the consent specifies a different prior or subsequent effective date. The Corporation shall provide notice with respect to any action taken by consent of voting shareholders to nonvoting and/or nonconsenting shareholders to the extent and in the manner required by IC 23-1-29-4(e) and (f).

Section 3.8    Meeting by Telephone or Similar Communications Equipment. Any or all shareholders may participate in any annual or special meeting of shareholders by, or through the use of, conference telephone or any other means of communication by which all shareholders participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A shareholder participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

Section 3.9    Acceptance of Signatures. The actions of the Corporation and its officers, agents and/or inspectors in connection with or with respect to accepting, rejecting or giving effect to shareholder votes, consents, waivers and proxy appointments and/or determining the validity of proxies shall be governed by IC 23-1-30-5.

ARTICLE 4

Directors

Section 4.1    Powers and Duties. Subject to any limitations that may be set forth in the Indiana Business Corporation Law and/or the Articles of Incorporation, all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of, the Board of Directors.

8

Section 4.2     Number of Directors; Qualifications.

4.2.1 Number of Directors. The Board of Directors shall consist of two members or such other number (greater or lesser) as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to expiration of that director’s term of office.

4.2.2    Qualifications. Directors need not be residents of the State of Indiana or shareholders or employees of the Corporation. Each director shall qualify by accepting his election to office either expressly or by acting as a director.

Section 4.3    Election of Directors; Term. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.4 and 4.5 of these Bylaws, the directors shall be elected each year at the annual meeting of shareholders to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders. The term of each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders following the director’s election; provided, however, that despite the expiration of a director’s term, the director shall continue to serve until a successor is elected and qualified or until there is a decrease in the number of directors.

Section 4.4    Resignation and Removal of Directors.

4.4.1    Resignation. Any director may resign from the Board of Directors at any time by delivering written notice of resignation to the Board of Directors or to the President or the Secretary of the Corporation. A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered, unless the notice specifies a later effective date or any effective date determined upon the happening of an event, in either of which cases the resignation is effective at the specified time.

4.4.2    Removal. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.4.2, and unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, the shareholders or directors may remove one or more directors with or without cause. Shareholders may remove a director only at a meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of removing the director and the meeting notice must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is the removal of the director. If a director is elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove that director. If cumulative voting is authorized, a director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to elect a director under cumulative voting is voted against the director’s removal. If cumulative voting is not authorized, a director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove the director exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove the director.

9

Section 4.5    Vacancies on the Board of Directors. Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, if a vacancy occurs on the Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, the Board of Directors may fill the vacancy. If the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the Board of Directors, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors then remaining in office. If the vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the holders of shares of that voting group are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the shareholders. A vacancy that will occur on the Board of Directors at a specific later date may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs.

Section 4.6    Meetings of the Board of Directors.

4.6.1    Regular Annual Meetings. A regular annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held, without notice, immediately following, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of organizing the Board and transacting such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

4.6.2    Other Regular Meetings. Other regular meetings shall be held at such times and places, either within or without the State of Indiana, as may be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, any such other regular meeting may be held without notice of the date, time, place or purpose of the meeting.

4.6.3    Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the President or any member of the Board of Directors. The person authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix any place within the county where the Corporation has its principal office as the place for holding such special meeting, unless the directors have otherwise unanimously agreed.

4.6.4    Notice of Special Meetings. Notice of the date, time and place of any special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be given at least two days prior to the meeting date either orally or in writing, by any means of communication; provided, however, if notice of the special meeting is mailed, the notice shall be deposited in the United States mail at least five days prior to the scheduled time of the meeting and shall be properly addressed, with postage prepaid. The notice need not describe the purpose of the special meeting. Any director may waive any notice required by the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. Except as provided in the next sentence, the waiver must be in writing, signed by the director entitled to the notice, and filed with the minutes or corporate records of the Corporation. A director’s attendance at or participation in any meeting of the Board of Directors waives any required notice of such meeting unless the director at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon the director’s arrival) objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.

10

4.6.5    Business to be Transacted. Neither the business to be transacted during, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or any waiver of notice of such meeting. Any and all business of any nature or character whatsoever may be transacted and action may be taken thereon at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors.

4.6.6    Quorum; Vote Required For Action. A majority of the number of directors fixed in accordance with Section 4.2.1 of these Bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any and all business (other than to adjourn) at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors. A majority of the directors present at any directors’ meeting, whether or not a quorum, may adjourn from time to time by fixing a new meeting time and place prior to taking adjournment, but if any directors’ meeting is adjourned for more than twenty-four hours, notice of any adjournment to another time or place shall be given, prior to the reconvening of the adjourned meeting, to any directors not present at the time the adjournment was taken. If a quorum is present when a vote is taken at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of directors present is the act of the Board of Directors, unless the affirmative vote of a greater number of directors is required by the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. A meeting at which a quorum initially is present may continue to transact business, notwithstanding the withdrawal of one or more directors, if any action taken is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

Section 4.7    Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all members of the Board of Directors and the action is evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by each member of the Board of Directors, delivered to the Secretary and included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records reflecting the action taken. Action taken under this Section 4.7 is effective when the last director signs the consent unless (a) the consent specifies a different prior or subsequent effective date, in which case the consent is effective on that date, or (b) no effective date contemplated by the preceding clause (a) is designated and the action taken under this Section 4.7 is taken electronically as contemplated by IC 26-2-8, in which case the effective date is the date determined in accordance with IC 26-2-8. A consent signed under this Section 4.7 has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document. A director’s consent may be withdrawn by a revocation signed by the director and delivered to the Corporation before the delivery to the Corporation of unrevoked written consents signed by all of the directors.

Section 4.8    Meeting by Telephone or Similar Communications Equipment. Any or all directors may participate in any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, conference telephone or any other means of

11

communication by which all directors participating in the meeting may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

Section 4.9    Committees of Directors.

4.9.1    Creation of Committees. The Board of Directors may create one or more committees and appoint members of the Board of Directors to serve on them. Each committee may have one or more members, each of whom shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.

4.9.2    Selection of Members. The creation of a committee and the appointment of members to it must be approved by the greater of:

(a)    a majority of all of the directors in office when the action is taken; or

(b)    the number of directors required to take action (other than to adjourn a meeting) pursuant to Section 4.6.6 of these Bylaws.

4.9.3    Committee Procedures. Sections 4.6 through 4.8 of these Bylaws, which govern meetings, action without meetings, notice, waiver of notice, quorum, and voting requirements of the Board of Directors, apply to committees of the Board of Directors and their members as well, except that the date, time and place of regular meetings of committees may be determined either by resolution of the Board of Directors or of the members of the committees. The Board of Directors may adopt rules for the governing of any committee not inconsistent with the provisions of these Bylaws.

4.9.4    Delegation of Authority. Each committee may exercise the authority of the Board of Directors which the Board of Directors delegates to such committee in the resolution creating the committee or in subsequent resolutions; provided, however, that a committee may not take any of the actions specified in IC 23-1-34-6(e) or otherwise precluded by the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Section 4.10    Presumption of Assent. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless:

(a)    the director objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon the director’s arrival) to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting;

12

(b)    the director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or

(c)    the director delivers written notice of the director’s dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting.

The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a director who votes in favor of the action taken.

Section 4.11    Compensation of Directors. Directors and committee members may receive such compensation, if any, for their services, and may be reimbursed for expenses incurred by them on behalf of the Corporation, in the manner and to the extent provided in resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors. This Section 4.11 shall not preclude any director from also serving as an officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation and receiving compensation from the Corporation for service in any of those capacities.

ARTICLE 5

Officers

Section 5.1    Principal Officers. The principal officers of the Corporation shall consist of a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer and, if the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines to do so, one or more Vice Presidents appointed pursuant to Section 5.6.3 of these Bylaws.

5.2.3    Tenure. Each officer of the Corporation shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors and the election or appointment of an officer does not itself create contract rights. If an officer of the Corporation is appointed by the Board of Directors for a designated term, the Board of Directors may, nonetheless, remove the officer at any time prior to the termination of that term. If no term is specified, an officer shall hold office until the officer’s death, resignation or removal pursuant to Section 5.4 of these Bylaws.

13

Subordinate officers, including Assistant Secretaries and Assistant Treasurers and such other officers or agents as may be desired, may from time to time be appointed by the Board of Directors or by any officer empowered to do so by the Board of Directors and shall have such authority and shall perform such duties as are provided in these Bylaws or as the Board of Directors or the appointing officer may from time to time determine.

Section 5.4    Resignation and Removal of Officers.

5.4.1    Resignation. Any officer may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board of Directors, the President, or the Secretary of the Corporation. A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date. Unless otherwise specified in the resignation notice, acceptance of any resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

5.4.2    Removal. Any of the principal officers specified in Section 5.1 of these Bylaws may be removed, at any time with or without cause, by a majority of the directors at the time in office, at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors. Any subordinate officer appointed pursuant to Section 5.3 of these Bylaws may be removed, at any time with or without cause, by (a) action of the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors, or (b) if the officer being removed was appointed by another officer, by the appointing officer.

Section 5.5    Vacancies. Whenever any vacancy shall occur in any office by death, resignation, removal, increase in the number of officers of the Corporation, or otherwise, the same may be filled by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board, or in such manner as may otherwise be prescribed in these Bylaws for regular appointment to office. If an officer resigns effective at a future date, and the Corporation accepts the future effective date, the Board of Directors may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date, if the Board of Directors provides that the successor does not take office until the effective date.

Section 5.6    Powers and Duties of Officers.

5.6.1    General Powers and Duties. Each principal officer has the authority and shall perform the duties set forth in these Bylaws or, to the extent consistent with these Bylaws, the authority and duties prescribed by the Board of Directors or, subject to any limitations that may be imposed by the Board of Directors, by direction of the President.

ARTICLE 6

Indemnification

Section 6.1    Definitions. As used in this Article 6, each of the terms “liability” and “party” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Chapter 37 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (IC 23-1-37, et seq.).

Section 6.2    Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify any individual who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, member, manager, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether or not for profit, against all liability and all expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by him or her with respect to, or in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding, or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or otherwise and whether formal or informal, in which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party or witness by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, except (a) in the case of any claim, action, suit, or proceeding terminated by judgment, order, or conviction, in relation to matters as to which he or she is adjudged to have breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office or position and the breach or failure to perform constituted willful misconduct or recklessness, and (b) in any other situation, in relation to matters as to which it is found by a majority of a committee composed of all directors not involved in the matter in controversy (whether or not a quorum) that the person breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office or position and the breach or failure to perform constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. The Corporation may pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by any person entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.2 with respect to, or in connection with, any action, suit, proceeding, or claim in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of (a) a written affirmation of the person’s good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct entitling him or her to indemnification by the Corporation, and (b) an undertaking of the person to repay the amount paid by the Corporation if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by the Corporation.

ARTICLE 8

Emergency Bylaws

Section 8.1    Definition. An emergency exists for purposes of this Article 8 if an extraordinary event prevents a quorum of the Corporation’s Board of Directors from assembling in time to deal with the business for which the meeting has been or is to be called.

Section 8.2    Provisions. Any provision of these Bylaws which is not consistent with the provisions of this Article 8 is of no force or effect during the emergency. The determination as to the existence of an emergency shall be made by at least two of the directors, or one director

19

in the event there are then fewer than three members on the Board of Directors. Their finding as to the existence of an emergency shall be set out in writing, which writing shall be made a part of the minutes of any meeting held pursuant to this Section 8.2. During an emergency, notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors shall be provided only to those directors whom it is practicable to reach in a timely manner and may be provided in any practicable manner, including telephonically, by email, or by publication by radio or newspaper. One or more officers of the Corporation present at any meeting of the Board of Directors held pursuant to this Section 8.2 may be deemed to be a director for the meeting, in order of rank and, if within the same rank, then in order of seniority, as necessary to achieve a quorum. At any meeting held pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Board of Directors, as constituted in the manner provided for in this Section 8.2, may take all actions necessary for managing the affairs of the Corporation during the emergency, including, but not limited to, (a) providing for necessary management of the Corporation, including establishing or modifying lines of succession to accommodate the incapacity of any director, officer, employee or agent, (b) establishing the procedures for calling a meeting of the Board of Directors and setting the quorum requirements for the meeting, (c) designating additional or substitute directors, and (d) relocating the principal office, designating alternative principal offices or regional offices, or authorizing the officers to do so. All provisions of the non-emergency Bylaws of the Corporation consistent with the Emergency Bylaws shall remain effective during the emergency. The Emergency Bylaws are effective only for the duration of the emergency.

Section 8.3    Binding Effect. The Corporation is bound by any action taken in good faith in accordance with the Emergency Bylaws, and any action taken in good faith in accordance with the Emergency Bylaws may not be used to impose liability on any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation.

ARTICLE 9

Miscellaneous

Section 9.1    Depositories. Funds of the Corporation not otherwise employed shall be deposited in such banks or other depositories as the Board of Directors, the President or the Treasurer may select or approve.

20

Section 9.4    Seal. The Corporation need not use a seal but may use a seal if desired in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. If a seal is used, it shall be circular in form and mounted upon a metal die suitable for impressing the same upon paper. The seal may be altered by the Board of Directors at its pleasure and may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed, affixed, printed or otherwise reproduced.

Section 9.5    Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall begin at the beginning of the first day of January in each year and shall end at the end of the last day of December in that year.

Section 9.6    Amendments. Subject to Section 6.6 of these Bylaws, these Bylaws may, from time to time, be added to, amended, repealed or replaced by new Bylaws by a majority vote of the whole Board of Directors at any meeting of the Board of Directors, if the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting shall have stated that such action would be considered at the meeting, or if all directors at the time (a) are present at the meeting and have waived notice of the meeting, or (b) have consented to such action in writing. A Bylaw adopted or amended by the Board of Directors that changes the quorum or voting requirement for action by the Board of Directors must meet the same quorum requirement and be adopted by the same vote required to take action under the quorum and voting requirement then in effect or proposed to be adopted, whichever is greater.

Section 9.7    Governing Law and Forum. These Bylaws shall be governed by and construed in accordance with provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law, as amended. Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, a Circuit or Superior Courts of the Marion County, State of Indiana, or the United States District Court in the Southern District of Indiana in a case of pendent jurisdiction, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject to said court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein.

Section 9.8    Severability. Any provision of these Bylaws which is determined to be in invalid or in violation of Indiana law shall not in any way render any of the remaining provisions of these Bylaws invalid.

(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event any Borrower desires to obtain a LIBOR Rate Loan for any Advance (other than a Swing Loan), Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date such LIBOR Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing and the amount of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor, and (iv) whether such Advance is to be a Revolving Advance or a FILO Advance (and if the former, that the outstanding principal balance of FILO Advances is not then less than the FILO Loan Cap).

Any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the last calendar month of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the last calendar month of such Interest Period. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders, no LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made available to any Borrower.

(e)    Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(f), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not later than 3:00 p.m. on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(f) below.

(f)    Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to which Agent or the Required Lenders have elected to suspend Borrowers’ ability to borrow LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount; provided, that, any conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or (ii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of the Interest Period for the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan) with respect to a conversion from a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.

(g)    At its option and upon written notice given prior to 3:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(h) hereof, prepay the LIBOR Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are LIBOR Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(h) hereof.

(h)    Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Loan or failure by

56

any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a LIBOR Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent or a Lender pursuant to this subsection for any amounts incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, notifies a Borrower of such losses or expenses and of Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (i), the term “Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected LIBOR Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected LIBOR Rate Loans or convert such affected LIBOR Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent’s request, such amount or amounts set forth in clause (h) above. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent or a Lender pursuant to this subsection for any amounts incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, notifies a Borrower of such losses or expenses and of Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

(j)    Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire LIBOR deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the LIBOR Rate. The provisions set forth herein shall apply as if each Lender or its Participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing based on the LIBOR Rate by acquiring LIBOR deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a)    Borrowers may, upon notice from Borrowing Agent to Agent, at any time or from time to time, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(b) below, voluntarily prepay Advances in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that, (i) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Domestic Rate Loans; and (ii) any prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date and amount of such prepayment, (ii) whether such Advances to be prepaid are (x) Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, and (y)

57

LIBOR Rate Loans or Domestic Rate Loans, and (iii) if LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period(s) thereof. Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage or FILO Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrowing Agent, Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided, that, such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrowers (by notice to Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.2(i). Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages or FILO Commitment Percentages, as applicable.

(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a), Borrowers may voluntarily prepay the FILO Advances in whole or in part, only if (i) the prepayment date therefor is after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) the Payment Conditions have been satisfied.

2.4.    Swing Loans.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, Agent, Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances (“Swing Loans”) available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount; provided, that, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swing Loans) at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (ii) the Formula Amount. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates. All Swing Loans shall, at the request of the Swing Loan Lender, be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “Swing Loan Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a). Swing Loan Lender’s agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future.

(b)    Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof (other than any such request for a LIBOR Rate Loan) or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance pursuant to the

58

provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loans if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated for any reason.

(c)    Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.6(d) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided, that, no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

2.5.    Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrowers to Agent or Lenders, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account on Agent’s books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance (including, without limitation, any Swing Loan) or FILO Advance requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any request or deemed request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower’s operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds, or (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances or FILO Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any deemed request for a Revolving Advance or a FILO Advance by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request. During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swing Loans) and FILO Advances by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

59

2.6.    Making and Settlement of Advances.

(a)    Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). Each borrowing of FILO Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable FILO Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the FILO Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone.

(b)    Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance or a FILO Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.4(a), Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments or Lenders holding the FILO Commitments, as applicable, of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided, that, if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof.

(c)    Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment or any Lender holding a FILO Commitment, as applicable, that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or its applicable FILO Commitment Percentage of the requested FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance or its applicable FILO Commitment Percentage of the requested FILO Advance, as applicable, available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances that are Domestic Rate Loans or the FILO Interest Rate for FILO Advances that are

60

Domestic Rate Loans, as applicable. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment or a FILO Commitment that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.

(d)    Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a “Settlement”) of all or any Swing Loans with Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m., otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances or FILO Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments or FILO Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c).

(e)    If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.

61

2.7.    Maximum Advances. The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swing Loans) outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Cap. The aggregate balance of FILO Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the FILO Loan Cap. The aggregate balance of Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the sum of the Revolving Loan Cap and the FILO Loan Cap.

2.8.    Manner and Repayment of Advances.

(a)    The Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swing Loans) and the FILO Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances shall be applied, (i) first, to the outstanding Swing Loans, (ii) second, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (including cash collateralization of all Obligations relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(b); provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be applied to cash collateralize any Obligations related to outstanding Letters of Credit last) (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22), and (iii) third, pro rata according to the applicable FILO Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding FILO Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22).

(b)    Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers’ Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the “Application Date”). Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. Borrowers further agree that there is a monthly float charge payable to Agent for Agent’s sole benefit, in an amount equal to (y) the face amount of all items of payment received during the prior month (including items of payment received by Agent as a wire transfer or electronic depository check) multiplied by (z) the Revolving Interest Rate with respect to Domestic Rate Loans for one (1) Business Day. All proceeds received by Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(h).

62

(c)    All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the due date therefor in Dollars in federal funds or other funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrowers’ Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2 hereof.

(d)    Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim.

2.9.    Repayment of Excess Advances. If at any time the aggregate balance of outstanding Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swing Loans), FILO Advances, and/or Advances taken as a whole exceeds the maximum amount of such type of Advances and/or Advances taken as a whole (as applicable) permitted hereunder (other than as a result of a Protective Advance), such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

2.10.    Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account (“Borrowers’ Account”) in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within sixty (60) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to Borrowers’ Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.11.    Letters of Credit.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated in Dollars (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of any Borrower or any Subsidiary (provided, that, any Letter of Credit issued for the benefit of any Subsidiary that is not a Borrower shall be issued naming a Borrower as the account party on any such Letter of Credit but such Letter of Credit may contain a statement that it is being issued for the benefit of such Subsidiary) except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swing Loans), plus (ii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the Revolving Loan Cap. The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or

63

payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2 hereof).

(b)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date, and which Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

(c)    Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Subsidiary, Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the benefit of any Subsidiary inures to the benefit of Borrowers, and that Borrowers’ business derives substantial benefits from the business of such Subsidiary.

2.12.    Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)    Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer, with a copy to Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m., at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as Issuer may agree) prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”) completed to the satisfaction of Agent and Issuer, together with such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason.

(b)    Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, other written demands for payment, or acceptances of usance drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an initial expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance and in no event later than the last day of the Term. Borrowers understand and agree that Issuer is not required to extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit for any reason, but that at Borrowers’ request and in the sole discretion of Issuer, Issuer may agree to issue a Letter of Credit with an “automatic amendment” provision to extend the expiry date thereof to twelve (12) months following the

64

then-current expiry date. With respect to any such Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” provision, Issuer, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to the terms of such Letter of Credit, may give notice of non-renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time prior to the then-current expiry date, and, if Borrowers do not at any time want the then-current expiry date of such Letter of Credit to be extended, Borrowers will so notify Agent and Issuer at least thirty (30) calendar days before Issuer is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such non-extension pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit. As a condition to renewal of any such Letter of Credit past the last day of the Term, Issuer may require, and Borrowers shall provide upon request of Issuer (which request may be upon such renewal or at such later date, but in any event on or prior to the last day of the Term), cash collateral in an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit, in accordance with Section 3.2(b).

(c)    Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the “UCP”) or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the “ISP98 Rules”), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder.

(d)    Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder. Any Issuer (other than Agent) shall notify Agent in writing no later than the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which such Issuer issues any Letter of Credit. In addition, each Issuer (other than Agent) shall, on the first Business Day of each week, submit to Agent a report detailing the daily undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer during the prior calendar week.

(e)    Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that all Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with the same effect as if such Existing Letters of Credit were issued by Issuer at the request of Borrowers on the Closing Date.

2.13.    Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)    Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct such Issuer to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Issuer pursuant to such Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Letter of Credit, and the application therefor.

(b)    In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be

65

continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower’s name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign such Borrower’s name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department (“Customs”) in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer’s designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in such Borrower’s name or Issuer’s name, or in the name of Issuer’s designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any trade Letters of Credit remain outstanding. Neither Agent, Issuer nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Agent’s, Issuer’s or their respective attorney’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

2.14.    Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a)    Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b)    In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and Borrowing Agent. Provided that Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) Issuer prior to 12:00 Noon, on the first Business Day immediately following each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the first Business Day immediately following the Drawing Date (regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall have received notice), Issuer will promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the first Business Day immediately following the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.14(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided, that, the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c)    Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) of the amount of the applicable drawing, whereupon

66

the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. on the first Business Day immediately following the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the first Business Day immediately following the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the first Business Day immediately following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after the fourth day following the first Business Day immediately following the Drawing Date. Agent and Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such payment on the first Business Day immediately following such Drawing Date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.14(c); provided, that, such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and (ii) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or Issuer of a drawing.

(d)    With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender’s payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.14.

(e)    Each applicable Lender’s Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.15.    Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a)    Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of Issuer of immediately available funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuer or Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Issuer or Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender’s

67

Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Issuer or Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding a Revolving Commitment have funded any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22, Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).

(b)    If Issuer or Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Borrowers or Guarantors to Issuer or Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Agent the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Agent plus interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

2.16.    Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Issuer’s reasonable, good faith interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer’s interpretations may be different from such Borrower’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowing Agent’s or any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.17.    Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

2.18.    Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances, as applicable, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.18 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)    any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against Issuer, Agent, any Borrower or any Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

68

(ii)    the failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.14;

(iii)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)    any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee may be acting), Issuer, Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of such Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v)    the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if Issuer or any of Issuer’s Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi)    payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided, that, the foregoing shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);

(vii)    the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii)    any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Agent and Issuer have each received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure within three (3) Business Days after Issuer shall have furnished Agent and Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix)    the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;

69

(x)    any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party thereto;

(xi)    the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Event with respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor;

(xii)    the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(xiii)    the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the obligations of Lenders to make Advances have been terminated; and

(xiv)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.19.    Liability for Acts and Omissions.

(a)    As between Borrowers and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Agent and Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuer as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuer shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower or Guarantor against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower or Guarantor and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Issuer from liability for Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall Issuer or Issuer’s Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

70

(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer and each of its Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(c)    In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (in either case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower, Agent or any Lender.

2.20.    Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)    Borrower shall prepay the Advances as and when required pursuant to Section 2.9. Any amounts prepaid shall be applied (i) first, to the outstanding Swing Loans, (ii) second, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (including cash collateralization of all Obligations relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(b); provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be applied to cash collateralize any Obligations related to outstanding Letters of Credit last) (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22), and (iii) third, pro rata according to the applicable FILO Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding FILO Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22), subject to Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances and FILO Advances in accordance with the terms hereof.

71

(b)    The Borrower shall prepay the Advances (including cash collateralization of all Obligations relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(b); provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be applied to cash collateralize any Obligations related to outstanding Letters of Credit last) in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.8(h) hereof.

2.21.    Use of Proceeds.

(a)    Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) repay existing indebtedness owing under the Existing FINL Credit Agreement, (ii) provide for a portion of the consideration for the Transactions and pay fees and expenses relating to the Transactions, and (iii) fund ongoing working capital, Capital Expenditures, Permitted Acquisitions and general corporate purposes, in each case to the extent permitted hereunder.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, none of the Borrowers, the Guarantors, or any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, (i) to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, U, or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, (ii) to make any payments to a Sanctioned Entity or a Sanctioned Person, to fund any investments, loans or contributions in, or otherwise make such proceeds available to, a Sanctioned Entity or a Sanctioned Person, to fund any operations, activities or business of a Sanctioned Entity or a Sanctioned Person, or in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person, (iii) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws, or (iv) for any other purpose in violation of Applicable Law.

2.22.    Defaulting Lender.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)    (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22, (x) Revolving Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender, and (y) FILO Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding FILO Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective FILO Commitment Percentages, and no FILO Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any FILO Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any

72

type of Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment or a FILO Commitment, as applicable, in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages or FILO Commitment Percentages, as applicable; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender;

(ii)    Fees pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender;

(iii)    If any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(A)    Such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans plus such Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

(B)    if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding (provided, that, so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, such cash collateral shall be released to Borrowers if at any time such Defaulting Lender no longer constitutes a Defaulting Lender hereunder);

(C)    if Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is cash collateralized;

73

(D)    if Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and

(E)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized.

(iv)    So long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuer is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Borrowers in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c)    A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Supermajority Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage or FILO Commitment Percentage; provided, that, this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 16.2(b).

(d)    Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, any Guarantor, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

74

(e)    In the event that Agent, Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then the Participation Commitments of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances of the other Lenders as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.

(f)    If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

2.23.    Payment of Obligations. Agent may charge to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance, as a FILO Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder (including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise), (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 hereof and (b) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses which Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h), and (iii) any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower’s obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.4, 4.6, 4.7, 6.4, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral, and in each case Agent shall provide prompt notice thereof to Borrowing Agent (but any failure to provide any such notice shall not affect the liability of Borrowers and Guarantors for such amounts). To the extent Revolving Advances or FILO Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such amounts so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, made by and owing to Agent and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable.

75

2.24.    Increase in Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.

(a)    Borrowers may, at any time, request that the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount be increased by (1) one or more of the current Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitment Amount (any current Lender which elects to increase its Revolving Commitment Amount shall be referred to as an “Increasing Lender”) or (2) one or more new lenders (each a “New Lender”) joining this Agreement and providing a Revolving Commitment Amount hereunder, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i)    no current Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Commitment Amount and any increase in the Revolving Commitment Amount by any current Lender shall be in the sole discretion of such current Lender;

(ii)    Borrowers may not request the addition of a New Lender unless (and then only to the extent that) there is insufficient participation on behalf of the existing Lenders in the increased Revolving Commitments being requested by Borrowers;

(iii)    there shall exist no Event of Default on the effective date of such increase after giving effect to such increase;

(iv)    after giving effect to such increase, the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall not exceed $400,000,000 minus the amount of any previous reduction of the Revolving Commitments implemented in accordance with Section 2.25;

(v)    Borrowers may not request an increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount under this Section 2.24 more than four (4) times during the Term, and no single such increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be for an amount less than $25,000,000;

(vi)    Borrowers and Guarantors shall deliver to Agent on or before the effective date of such increase the following documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent: (1) certifications of their corporate secretaries with attached resolutions certifying that the increase in the Revolving Commitment Amounts has been approved by Borrowers and Guarantors, (2) certificate dated as of the effective date of such increase certifying that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and certifying that the representations and warranties made by each Borrower and Guarantor herein and in the Other Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except (x) to the extent any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all respects, and (y) to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates only to any earlier and/or specified date, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier and/or specified date), (3) such other agreements, instruments and information (including supplements or modifications to this Agreement and/or the Other Documents executed by Borrowers and Guarantors as Agent reasonably deems necessary in order to document the increase to the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and to protect, preserve and continue the perfection and priority of the liens, security interests, rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the Other Documents in light of such increase, and (4) an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent

76

which shall cover such matters related to such increase as Agent may reasonably require and each Borrower and Guarantor hereby authorizes and directs such counsel to deliver such opinions to Agent and Lenders;

(vii)    Borrowers shall execute and deliver (1) to each Increasing Lender a replacement Note reflecting the new amount of such Increasing Lender’s Revolving Commitment Amount after giving effect to the increase (and the prior Note issued to such Increasing Lender shall be promptly returned by such Increasing Lender to the Borrowing Agent and deemed to be cancelled) and (2) to each New Lender a Note reflecting the amount of such New Lender’s Revolving Commitment Amount;

(viii)    any New Lender shall be subject to the approval of Agent, Issuer and the Borrowing Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);

(ix)    each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving Commitment Amount pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form reasonably acceptable to Agent, signed by it and each Borrower and delivered to Agent at least one (1) Business Day before the effective date of such increase; and

(x)    each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, pursuant to which such New Lender shall join and become a party to this Agreement and the Other Documents with a Revolving Commitment Amount as set forth in such lender joinder.

(b)    On the effective date of such increase, (i) Borrowers and Agent shall effect a settlement of all outstanding Revolving Advances among the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including any Increasing Lenders and New Lenders) that will reflect the adjustments to the Revolving Commitment Amounts of the Lenders as a result of such increase, and (ii) the Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding a Revolving Commitment (including each Increasing Lender and/or New Lender) shall be recalculated such that each such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage is equal to (x) the Revolving Commitment Amount of such Lender divided by (y) the aggregate of the Revolving Commitment Amounts of all Lenders. Each Lender shall participate in any new Revolving Advances made on or after such date in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage after giving effect to the increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and recalculation of the Revolving Commitment Percentages contemplated by this Section 2.24.

(c)    On the effective date of such increase, each Increasing Lender shall be deemed to have purchased an additional/increased participation in, and each New Lender will be deemed to have purchased a new participation in, each then outstanding Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder and each then outstanding Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (as calculated pursuant to Section 2.24(b) above) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of each such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of each drawing and of each such Swing Loan, respectively. As necessary to effectuate the foregoing, each existing Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that is not an Increasing Lender shall be deemed to have sold to each applicable Increasing Lender and/or New

77

Lender, as necessary, a portion of such existing Lender’s participations in such outstanding Letters of Credit and drawings and such outstanding Swing Loans such that, after giving effect to all such purchases and sales, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment (including each Increasing Lender and/or New Lender) shall hold a participation in all Letters of Credit (and drawings thereunder) and all Swing Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (as calculated pursuant to Section 2.24(b) above).

(d)    On the effective date of such increase, Borrowers shall, subject to and in accordance with Section 16.9, pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the negotiations regarding, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of all agreements and instruments executed and delivered by any of Agent, Borrowers, Guarantors, and/or Increasing Lenders and New Lenders in connection with, such increase (including all fees for any supplemental or additional public filings of any Other Documents necessary to protect, preserve and continue the perfection and priority of the liens, security interests, rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the Other Documents in light of such increase), to the extent a reasonably detailed invoice therefor has been delivered to the Borrowing Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective date of such increase.

(e)    In connection with any such increase, if any Borrower, Guarantor, or Subsidiary owns or will acquire any Margin Stock, then to the extent required by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent an updated Form U-1 (with sufficient additional originals thereof for each Lender), duly executed and delivered by Borrowers, together with such other documentation as Agent shall reasonably request, in order to enable Agent and the Lenders to comply with any of the requirements under Regulations T, U, or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

2.25.    Decrease in Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.

(a)    Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from Borrowing Agent to Agent (provided, that, such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrowers (by notice to Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied), terminate the Revolving Commitments or from time to time permanently reduce the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount; provided, that, (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (x) ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of termination, or (y) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swing Loans, together with the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), would exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, and (iv) in no event shall the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount be reduced to less than $150,000,000.

(b)    If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount exceeds the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, such Letter of Credit Sublimit or Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

78

(c)    In the event that the Revolving Commitments are terminated, the FILO Commitments shall be automatically terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, the FILO Commitments cannot be reduced hereunder and cannot be terminated except in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.25.

(d)    Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, the Revolving Commitments (or the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount), or the FILO Commitments (or the Maximum FILO Advance Amount). Upon any reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such reduction amount. All fees (including, without limitation, commitment fees and Letter of Credit Fees) and interest in respect of the Revolving Commitments and the FILO Commitments accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Commitments and FILO Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(e)    In connection with any reduction in the Revolving Commitments prior to the end of the Term, if any Borrower, Guarantor, or Subsidiary owns any Margin Stock, then to the extent required by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent an updated Form U-1 (with sufficient additional originals thereof for each Lender), duly executed and delivered by Borrowers, together with such other documentation as Agent shall reasonably request, in order to enable Agent and the Lenders to comply with any of the requirements under Regulations T, U, or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

III. INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1.    Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, at (a) the end of each Interest Period, and (b) for LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period in excess of three months, at the end of each three month period during such Interest Period; provided, further, that all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the applicable Revolving Interest Rate, (ii) with respect to Swing Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans, and (iii) with respect to FILO Advances, the applicable FILO Interest Rate (as applicable, the “Contract Rate”). Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans, subject to the provisions of the final sentence of this Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the applicable Contract Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted with respect to LIBOR

79

Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.1 or 10.6, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Contract Rate (or, if no rate of interest is applicable thereto, at the Alternate Base Rate) plus two percent (2%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).

3.2.    Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)    Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination of such Letter of Credit, equal to the aggregate daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Revolving Advances consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term, and (y) to each Issuer, a fronting fee of one eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum times the aggregate daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination of such Letter of Credit, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges, fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.6, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(b)    At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.6, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), or upon the expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement (and also, if applicable, in connection with any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.20), Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all

80

outstanding Letters of Credit (the “Required Cash Collateral Amount”), and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in its discretion, on such Borrower’s behalf and in such Borrower’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower (provided, that, the aggregate amount required to be maintained in such accounts as to all Borrowers shall not exceed the Required Cash Collateral Amount), out of the proceeds of Receivables, Credit Card Receivables, or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower coming into any Lender’s possession at any time. Agent may, in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or Agent may (notwithstanding the foregoing) establish the account provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in such case Agent shall have no obligation (and Borrowers hereby waive any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash collateral being held by Agent. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon payment in full of all Obligations; provided, however, that (i) prior to the expiration of the Term, if this Agreement has not otherwise terminated, the Borrowers may withdraw amounts credited to such accounts if no Event of Default is continuing and, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the Borrowers would not be required to make a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.20 and (ii) the Borrowers may withdraw amounts credited to such accounts at any time to the extent that the aggregate amount on deposit therein exceeds the Required Cash Collateral Amount. Borrowers hereby assign, pledge and grant to Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrowers in any deposit account, securities account or investment account into which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit. Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters of Credit, Agent may use such cash collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations.

3.3.    Facility Fees.

(a)     If, for any day in each calendar quarter during the Term, the daily unpaid balance of the sum of Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swing Loans and the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) (the “Revolving Usage Amount”) for each day of such calendar quarter does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to two tenths of one percent (0.20%) per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount on such day exceeds such Revolving Usage Amount (the “Revolving Facility Fee”). Such Revolving Facility Fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter with respect to each day in the previous calendar quarter.

(b)    If, for any day in each calendar quarter during the Term, the daily unpaid balance of the sum of FILO Advances (the “FILO Usage Amount”) for each day of such

81

calendar quarter does not equal the Maximum FILO Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding the FILO Commitments based on their FILO Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to two tenths of one percent (0.20%) per annum on the amount by which the Maximum FILO Advance Amount on such day exceeds such FILO Usage Amount (the “FILO Facility Fee”). Such FILO Facility Fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter with respect to each day in the previous calendar quarter.

3.4.    Collateral Evaluation Fee; Fee Letter.

(a)    Borrowers shall pay to Agent promptly at the conclusion of any collateral evaluation performed by or for the benefit of Agent (whether such examination is performed by Agent’s employees or by a third party retained by Agent), including, without limitation, any field examination, collateral analysis or other business analysis, the need for which is to be determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion (or at the direction of the Required Lenders) and which evaluation is undertaken by Agent or for Agent’s benefit, a collateral evaluation fee in an amount equal to $1,250 (or such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers) per day for each person employed to perform such evaluation (based on an eight (8) hour day, and subject to adjustment if additional hours are worked), plus a per examination field exam management fee in the amount of $2,500 for new facilities, and $1,500 for recurring examinations (or, in each case, such other amount customarily charged by Agent to its customers), plus all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and disbursements incurred by Agent in the performance of such examination or analysis, and further provided, that, if third parties are retained to perform such collateral evaluations, either at the request of another Lender or for extenuating reasons determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion (or at the direction of the Required Lenders), then such fees charged by such third parties plus all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and disbursements incurred by such third party, shall be the responsibility of Borrowers and shall not be subject to the foregoing limits; provided, however, that Borrowers and Guarantors shall be responsible for reimbursing Agent for only up to one collateral evaluation per Fiscal Year of Borrowers, unless (i) Undrawn Availability is less than the greater of (x) twenty percent (20%) of the Revolving Loan Cap and (y) $52,500,000 for five (5) or more consecutive Business Days, in which case Borrowers and Guarantors shall be responsible for reimbursing Agent for up to two collateral evaluations in the subsequent twelve month period, (ii) any additional collateral evaluation is required by Applicable Law, in which case Borrowers and Guarantors shall be responsible for reimbursing Agent for such collateral evaluation undertaken by or on behalf of Agent, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case Borrowers and Guarantors shall be responsible for reimbursing Agent for all collateral evaluations undertaken by or on behalf of Agent.

(b)    Borrowers shall pay the amounts required to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.

(c)    All of the fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any collateral evaluations, inspections, inventories, and appraisals conducted pursuant to this Section 3.4 and Sections 4.6 and 4.7 hereof shall be, to the extent provided in such sections, paid for when due, in full and without deduction, off-set or counterclaim by Borrowers.

82

3.5.    Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (other than for Domestic Rate Loans, which shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment of Advances or Reimbursement Obligations to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable Contract Rate during such extension, except that Advances shall be due on the Business Day preceding the last day of the Term if such last day is not a Business Day. If any payment (other than Advances and Reimbursement Obligations) to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

3.6.    Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

3.7.    Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender” shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a)    subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any Tax with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (other than (A) Indemnified Tax and Other Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, (C) Connection Income Taxes, and (D) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or the Issuer);

(b)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c)    impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer or the London interbank eurodollar market any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

83

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be; provided, that, the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the LIBOR Rate, as the case may be. Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.7 for any amounts incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, notifies a Borrower of such additional cost or reduced amount and of Agent’s, Swing Loan Lender’s, such Lender’s or Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

3.8.    Alternate Rate of Interest.

3.8.1.    Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

(a)    reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or

(b)    Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank eurodollar market, with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan; or

(c)    the making, maintenance or funding of any LIBOR Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or

(d)    the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any LIBOR Rate Loan,

then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given prior to a LIBOR Termination Date (as defined below) or prior to the date on which Section 3.8.2(a)(ii) applies, (i) any such requested LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than

84

1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected LIBOR Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected LIBOR Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan into an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan.

3.8.2.    Successor LIBOR Rate Index.

(a)    If the Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (i) (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.8.1(a) have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.8.1(a) have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Body having jurisdiction over Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a “LIBOR Termination Date”), or (ii) a rate other than the LIBOR Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then Agent may (in consultation with Borrowers) choose a replacement index for the LIBOR Rate and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR Rate-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.

(b)    Agent, Borrowers, and Guarantors shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrowing Agent and Agent) to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Other Documents (including, without limitation, Section 16.2), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. on the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, unless Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10^th) Business Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.

(c)    Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and other related amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly

85

originated loans in the United States and loans converted from a LIBOR Rate-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from the LIBOR Rate to the replacement index and (y) yield- or risk-based differences between the LIBOR Rate and the replacement index.

(d)    Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 3.8.2 is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a LIBOR Rate Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate; provided, however, that if Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically be converted to Domestic Rate Loans until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

3.9.    Capital Adequacy.

(a)    In the event that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender shall have determined that any Applicable Law or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any Change in Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term “Lender” shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (including the making of any Swing Loans) to a level below that which Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Agent’s, Swing Loan Lender’s and each Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay promptly upon demand to Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to Agent, Swing Loan Lender and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the Applicable Law, rule, regulation, guideline or condition.

(b)    A certificate of Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

86

3.10.    Taxes.

(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided, that, if Borrowers or Guarantors shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Agent or each Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) Borrowers and Guarantors shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrowers and Guarantors shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law. Without duplication of Section 3.10(b) or Section 3.10(c), if (x) any tax by any Governmental Body is imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Borrower or any Guarantor, on one hand, and Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, described herein or in any Other Document which Agent or any Lender is required by Applicable Law to withhold or pay, or (y) in Agent’s or any Lender’s opinion, a valid Lien on the Collateral may reasonably be expected to be created (which Lien is not a Permitted Encumbrance), in either case (i) as a result of any taxes, assessments, or other Charges that remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment or (ii) as a result of any Tax claim which shall be made by any applicable Governmental Body, then Agent may without notice to Borrowers or Guarantors pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges, and each Borrower and each Guarantor, except to the extent such payments constitute Excluded Taxes, hereby indemnifies and holds Agent and each Lender harmless in respect thereof. Agent will not pay any taxes, assessments or Charges to the extent that any applicable Borrower or Guarantor has Properly Contested those taxes, assessments or Charges. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by any Lender or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b)    Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.10(a) above, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c)    Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by any Lender or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

87

(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Body, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(e)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any Other Document shall deliver to Borrowers (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding the submission of such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations or other Applicable Law. Further, Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender, Issuer or assignee or participant of a Lender or Issuer for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Code. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrowers or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as will enable Borrowers or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Borrowers and Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrowers or Agent, but only if such Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

or if Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) is unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(i) hereof, (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent requested by the Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, Borrowers may, within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(i) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request by Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, as the case may be, by notice in writing to the Agent and such Affected Lender (A) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining a replacement Lender satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers (the “Replacement Lender”); (B) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or FILO Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; or (C) propose a Replacement Lender reasonably satisfactory to Agent. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or FILO Commitment Percentage, as applicable, then such Affected Lender shall assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 16.3 hereof), all of its Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or FILO Commitment Percentage, as applicable, and of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender.

(b)    If any Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10, then such Lender shall, at the written request of the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Obligations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10 in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender, and (iii) would not require such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions. If the Borrowers request a different lending office, then the Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall provide Agent with written notice promptly upon becoming the beneficiary under any letter of credit or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in any letter of credit rights, in each case having a face amount that exceeds $500,000 individually and $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all such letters of credit, and at Agent’s request shall take such actions as Agent may reasonably request for the perfection of Agent’s security interest therein.

4.2.    Perfection of Security Interest. Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall take all action that may be necessary, or that Agent may reasonably request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent’s security interest in and Lien on the Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) immediately discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) to the extent reasonably requested by Agent, using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Lien Waiver Agreements with respect to each location as to which Collateral having a value in excess of $5,000,000 is controlled or maintained, (iii) delivering to Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credits and advices thereof and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, in each case having a value in excess of $500,000 individually and $1,000,000 in the aggregate, and (iv) executing and delivering financing statements, account control agreements (except with respect to Excluded Accounts), instruments of pledge, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of Agent’s security interest in and Lien on the Collateral under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law. By its signature hereto, each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby authorizes Agent to file against such Borrower or Guarantor, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set forth herein, including without limitation a description of Collateral as “all assets” and/or “all personal

91

property” of any Borrower or Guarantor). All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, at all times after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations or, at Agent’s option, (and at all times that a Cash Dominion Event has not occurred and is continuing), be paid by Borrowers to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of Lenders promptly upon demand.

4.3.    Preservation of Collateral. During the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent: (a) may at any time take such steps as Agent deems necessary to protect Agent’s interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; and (b) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any of Borrowers’ or Guarantors’ owned or leased property, in each case subject to any limitations under the Real Property Leases and the Lien Waiver Agreements. During the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.1 hereof and the immediately preceding sentence, Agent: (a) may employ and maintain at any of any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral; (b) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or part of the Collateral; and (c) may use any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral, in each case subject to any limitations under the Real Property Leases and the Lien Waiver Agreements. Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall cooperate fully with all of Agent’s efforts to preserve the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Other Documents and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct. All of Agent’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance or a FILO Advance, as applicable, of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations.

4.4.     Ownership and Location of Collateral.

(a)    With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent’s security interest: (i) each Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, shall be the sole owner of and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant to Agent a first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Encumbrances having priority over the Lien of Agent by operation of Applicable Law) in each and every item of its respective Collateral; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens whatsoever; (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by any Borrower or any Guarantor in or pursuant to this Agreement, the Other Documents and any related agreements to which it is a party, and each of the representations and warranties contained in any certificate, document or financial or other statement furnished at any time under or in connection with this Agreement, the Other Documents or any related agreement, in each case in respect of or relating to any such Collateral, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except (x) to the extent any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, in which case such representation

92

and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects, and (y) to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates only to any earlier and/or specified date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier and/or specified date); (iii) all signatures and endorsements of each Borrower and each Guarantor that appear on such documents and agreements shall be genuine and each Borrower and each Guarantor shall have full capacity to execute same; and (iv) each Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s equipment and Inventory shall be located as set forth on Schedules 4.4(b)(i), 4.4(b)(ii), 4.4(b)(iii) and 4.4(b)(iv) (collectively, “Schedule 4.4”) and shall not be removed from such location(s) without the prior written consent of Agent except (A) with respect to the sale of Inventory and transport of Inventory to or between locations set forth on Schedule 4.4, in either case in the Ordinary Course of Business, and (B) with respect to equipment, to the extent permitted in Section 7.1(b) hereof.

(b)    (i) As of the Closing Date, there is no location at which any Borrower or Guarantor has any Inventory (except for Inventory in transit) or other Collateral other than those locations listed on Schedule 4.4(b)(i); (ii) Schedule 4.4(b)(ii) hereto contains a correct and complete list, as of the Closing Date, of the legal names and addresses of each warehouse at which Inventory of any Borrower or Guarantor is stored, and none of the receipts received by any Borrower or Guarantor from any warehouse states that the goods covered thereby are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named Person or to a named Person and such named Person’s assigns; (iii) Schedule 4.4(b)(iii) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of (A) each place of business of each Borrower and each Guarantor and (B) the chief executive office of each Borrower and each Guarantor; and (iv) Schedule 4.4(b)(iv) hereto sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Closing Date of the location, by state and street address, of all Real Property owned or leased by each Borrower and each Guarantor, identifying which properties are owned and which are leased.

4.5.    Defense of Agent’s and Lenders’ Interests. Until payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, Agent’s security interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. During such period no Borrower or Guarantor shall, without Agent’s prior written consent, pledge, sell (except for sales or other dispositions otherwise permitted in Section 7.1(b) hereof), assign, transfer, create or suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way except for Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the Collateral. Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to defend Agent’s security interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever (other than Persons holding Permitted Encumbrances). At any time following demand by Agent for payment of all Obligations upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers and Guarantors shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent, subject to any limitations under the Real Property Leases and the Lien Waiver Agreements. In addition, with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided to a secured party on default by the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law.

the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order and if they shall come into any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Borrower or Guarantor in trust as Agent’s trustee, and such Borrower or Guarantor will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.6.    Inspection of Premises; Physical Inventories.

(a)    At all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice and from time to time as often as Agent shall elect in its Permitted Discretion, Agent and each Lender shall have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s business. Agent, any Lender and their agents may enter upon any premises of any Borrower or Guarantor at any time during business hours and at any other reasonable time, and from time to time as often as Agent shall elect in its Permitted Discretion, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto and the operation of such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s business; provided, that, each Lender shall provide Borrowing Agent with reasonable notice prior to any visit or inspection; provided, further, that absent the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender shall be limited to two such inspections in any twelve (12) month period.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of the provisions of clause (a) above, Borrowers and Guarantors shall cause not fewer than four (4) cycle counts to be undertaken, at the expense of Borrowers, in each twelve (12) month period, in each case consistent with past practices, conducted by such inventory takers as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent and following such methodology as is consistent with the methodology used in the immediately preceding inventory or as otherwise may be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Agent, at the expense of Borrowers, may participate in and/or observe each scheduled cycle count of Inventory which is undertaken on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor. Borrowing Agent, within sixty (60) days following the completion of such cycle count, shall provide Agent with a reconciliation of the results of such cycle count (as well as of any other cycle count or physical inventory undertaken by a Borrower or Guarantor) and shall post such results to Borrowers’ and Guarantors’ stock ledgers and general ledgers, as applicable. Borrowers and Guarantors shall permit the Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to cause such additional cycle counts and physical inventories to be taken as Agent determines in its Permitted Discretion (each, at the expense of Borrowers).

4.7.    Appraisals.

(a)    Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion (and shall, upon the direction of the Required Lenders), at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, engage the services of an independent appraisal firm or firms of reputable standing, reasonably satisfactory to Agent, for the purpose of appraising the then current values of Borrowers’ and Guarantors’ assets; provided, that, Borrowers and Guarantors shall be responsible for reimbursing Agent for only up to one appraisal per Fiscal Year of Borrowers, unless (i) Undrawn Availability is less than the

94

greater of (x) twenty percent (20%) of the Revolving Loan Cap and (y) $52,500,000 for five (5) or more consecutive Business Days, in which case Borrowers and Guarantors shall be responsible for reimbursing Agent for up to two appraisals in the subsequent twelve month period, (ii) required by Applicable Law, in which case Borrowers and Guarantors shall be responsible for reimbursing Agent for all such appraisals undertaken by or on behalf of Agent, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case Borrowers and Guarantors shall be responsible for reimbursing Agent for all appraisals undertaken by or on behalf of Agent. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default at such time, Agent shall consult with Borrowers as to the identity of any firm described in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)    In the event the value of Borrowers’ Inventory, Receivables, and/or Credit Card Receivables, as so determined pursuant to such appraisal, is less than anticipated by Agent or Lenders, such that the Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, are in excess of such Advances permitted hereunder, then, promptly upon Agent’s demand for same, to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof as a result of a reduction in the Formula Amount and/or the FILO Formula Amount based on the implementation of such appraisal, Borrowers shall make mandatory prepayments of the then outstanding Revolving Advances and/or FILO Advances, as applicable, so as to eliminate the excess Advances.

4.8.    Receivables; Credit Card Receivables; Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

(a)    Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice or settlement statement relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Borrower, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Borrower as of the date each Receivable is created. The Receivables shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Borrower’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent. Each of the Credit Card Receivables, and all records, papers and documents relating thereto, (i) is (x) genuine, and (y) in all material respects, correct and what it purports to be, (ii) represents the legal, valid and binding obligation of the account debtor, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, evidencing indebtedness unpaid and owed by such account debtor, arising out of the performance of labor or services or the sale, lease, license, assignment or other disposition and delivery of the goods or other property listed therein or out of an advance or a loan, and (iii) is in all material respects in compliance and conforms with all applicable federal, state and local Laws and Applicable Laws of any relevant foreign jurisdiction.

(b)    Each Customer, to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, as of the date each Receivable is created, is and will be solvent and able to pay all Receivables on which the Customer is obligated in full when due. With respect to such Customers of any Borrower who are not solvent, such Borrower has set up on its books and in its financial records bad debt reserves to the extent required in accordance with GAAP, adequate to cover such Receivables.

95

(c)    Each Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s chief executive office as of the Closing Date is located as set forth on Schedule 4.4(b)(iii). Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at which any Borrower or Guarantor keeps its records pertaining to Receivables and Credit Card Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office.

(d)    As and when required pursuant to the Post-Closing Letter, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent copies of notifications (each, a “Credit Card Notification”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, which have been executed on behalf of each applicable Borrower and delivered to the Credit Card Issuers and Credit Card Processors listed on Schedule 4.8(j)(ii). In addition, Borrowers shall instruct their Customers and the Credit Card Processors and Credit Card Issuers to deliver all remittances upon Receivables and Credit Card Receivables (whether paid by check or by wire transfer of funds) to such Blocked Account(s) and/or Depository Accounts (and any associated lockboxes) as Agent shall designate from time to time as contemplated by Section 4.8(h) or as otherwise established by Borrowers from time to time with the prior written consent of Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Borrower or Guarantor directly receives any remittances upon Receivables or Credit Card Receivables, such Borrower or Guarantor shall, at such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s sole cost and expense, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, on Agent’s behalf and for Agent’s account, collect and hold in trust for Agent all amounts received on Receivables or Credit Card Receivables, and shall not commingle such collections with any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s funds or use the same except to pay Obligations, and (ii) as soon as possible and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after the receipt thereof (x) in the case of remittances paid by check, deposit all such remittances in their original form (after supplying any necessary endorsements) and (y) in the case of remittances paid by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such remittances, in each case, into such Blocked Accounts(s) and/or Depository Account(s). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, each Borrower and each Guarantor shall deposit in a Blocked Account and/or Depository Account or, upon request by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and within one (1) Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness. Agent acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything in a Credit Card Notification, this Agreement or any Other Document to the contrary, (A) Agent shall not provide notices to any Credit Card Issuers or Credit Card Processors to direct remittances upon Receivables or Credit Card Receivables to an account not identified in the applicable Credit Card Notification unless a Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, and (B) promptly following termination of any Cash Dominion Event, to the extent Agent previously provided notices described in the foregoing clause (A) during such Cash Dominion Event, Agent shall provide a notice to such Credit Card Issuers and/or Credit Card Processors to direct such remittances to a Blocked Account (but without prejudice to Agent’s right to provide subsequent notices if another Cash Dominion Event arises thereafter).

(e)    At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, Agent shall have the sole right to direct the collection of Receivables and Credit Card Receivables. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent’s security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables to any and all Customers or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral. Agent’s actual collection expenses,

96

including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone, facsimile, telegraph, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to Borrowers’ Account and added to the Obligations.

(f)    At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent or any Borrower or any Guarantor any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables and Credit Card Receivables, and each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby constitutes Agent or Agent’s designee as such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact with power (i) at any time, to sign such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s name on all financing statements or any other documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and to file same, (ii) at any time when a Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, (A) to endorse such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (B) to sign such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Receivables, the Credit Card Receivables, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of Receivables and Credit Card Receivables; (C) [reserved]; (D) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Borrower or Guarantor at any post office box/lockbox maintained by Agent for Borrowers and Guarantors or at any other business premises of Agent, and (iii) at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (A) to demand payment of the Receivables and the Credit Card Receivables; (B) to enforce payment of the Receivables and the Credit Card Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (C) to exercise all of such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables, the Credit Card Receivables and any other Collateral; (D) to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables and the Credit Card Receivables; (E) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables and the Credit Card Receivables; (F) to prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Customer; (G) to prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables and the Credit Card Receivables; (H) to accept the return of goods represented by any of the Receivables and the Credit Card Receivables; (I) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Borrower or Guarantor to such address as Agent may designate; and (J) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (in either case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g)    Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any of the Credit Card Receivables or any instrument received in payment of any of the foregoing, or for any damage resulting therefrom, except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Agent, each Blocked Account Bank, and each applicable Borrower or Guarantor shall enter into a deposit account control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent that is sufficient to give Agent “control” (for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) in “springing form” over such account and which directs such Blocked Account Bank, at the written direction of Agent (which may not be given except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event and shall be revoked by Agent when no Cash Dominion Event is continuing, but without prejudice to Agent’s right to provide subsequent directions if another Cash Dominion Event arises thereafter), to transfer such funds so deposited on a daily basis or at other times acceptable to Agent to Agent, either to any account maintained by Agent at said Blocked Account Bank or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) at Agent; provided, that, with respect to accounts existing as of the Closing Date, such control agreements shall be required to be delivered only as, when and to the extent required pursuant to the Post-Closing Letter (without prejudice to Borrowers’ and Guarantors’ obligations under Section 6.11).

(a)    (i) Keep all its insurable properties and properties in which such Borrower or Guarantor has an interest insured against the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s including business interruption insurance; (ii) maintain a bond or bonds in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Borrower or Guarantor insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured’s officers and employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of such Borrower or Guarantor either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such assets; (iii) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (iv) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which such Borrower or Guarantor is engaged in business; (v) furnish Agent with (A) copies of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days before any expiration date, and (B) appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as an additional insured, mortgagee and/or lender loss payee (as applicable) as its interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in clauses (i) and (iii) above, and providing (I) that all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to Agent to the extent required hereunder or under an Other Document, (II) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and (III) that such policy and loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days prior written notice is given to Agent (or in the case of non-payment, at least ten (10) days prior written notice). In the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Agent and the applicable Borrower or Guarantor to make payment for such loss to Agent and not to Agent and such Borrower or Guarantor jointly; provided, that, if no Cash Dominion Event is then continuing at the time of a casualty loss, Borrowers and Guarantors shall be permitted to retain (and Agent shall remit to the applicable Borrower or Guarantor) the proceeds of the applicable insurance claim to the extent not in excess of $1,000,000 so long as such Borrower or Guarantor promptly (but in any event within ninety (90) days of such Borrower or Guarantor’s receipt of

111

such proceeds) utilizes such proceeds to repair, restore or replace the assets that are the subject of such claim. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to Agent and such Borrower or Guarantor jointly, Agent may endorse such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash.

(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in Sections 6.6(a)(i) and (iii) above.

Any surplus shall be paid by Agent to Borrowers or applied as may be otherwise required by Applicable Law. If any Borrower or Guarantor fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Agent, if Agent so elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of such Borrower or Guarantor, which payments shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account and constitute part of the Obligations.

112

Environmental Laws as provided in this Section 6.8(c), Agent on behalf of Lenders may, but without the obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of protecting Agent’s interest in the Collateral at any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) give such notices or (ii) enter onto the Real Property (or authorize third parties to enter onto the Real Property) and take such actions as Agent (or such third parties as directed by Agent) deem reasonably necessary or advisable, to remediate, remove, mitigate or otherwise manage with any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint.

XI. LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1.    Rights and Remedies.

(a)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.6 (other than Sections 10.6(ii) and 10.6(vii)) with respect to any Borrower, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Default under Section 10.6(vii) hereof with respect to any Borrower, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (A) Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents, under the Uniform Commercial

133

Code and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process; (B) Agent may enter any of any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Borrower or Guarantor therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Borrowers and Guarantors to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place, subject to any limitations under the Real Property Leases and the Lien Waiver Agreements; and (C) with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, as part of one or more going out of business sales in Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, all as Agent may elect, subject to any limitations under the Real Property Leases and the Lien Waiver Agreements. Agent and any agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of Agent or such agent or contractor and none of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Person claiming under or in right of any Borrower or Guarantor shall have any interest therein. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Borrowers and Guarantors reasonable notification of the sale or sales described in the foregoing provisions of this clause (a), it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Borrower and each Guarantor. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, Agent is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty-free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use all of each Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s (a) owned Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment, Real Property (subject to any limitations under the Real Property Leases and the Lien Waiver Agreements) and other assets for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods and otherwise exercising its remedies hereunder and under the Other Documents. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Borrowers and Guarantors shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

(b)    To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or

134

otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Borrower or Guarantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Borrower or any Guarantor or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

11.2.    Agent’s Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder as against Borrowers, Guarantors, or each other.

11.3.    Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Borrower’s or Guarantors’ property held by Agent and such Lender or any of their Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender.

11.4.    Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

135

11.5.    Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the Obligations (including without limitation any amounts on account of any of Cash Management Liabilities or Hedge Liabilities), or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent’s discretion, be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) of Agent in connection with enforcing its rights and the rights of Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents, and any Out-of-Formula Loans and Protective Advances funded by Agent with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

TWELFTH, to the payment of Hedge Liabilities which shall have become due and payable (hereunder, under the Other Documents or otherwise) and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “ELEVENTH” above;

THIRTEENTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due and payable and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “TWELFTH”; and

FOURTEENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Advances held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Advances) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “SIXTH”, “SEVENTH”, “EIGHTH”, “NINTH”, “TENTH”, and “THIRTEENTH” above; and, with respect to clauses “ELEVENTH” and “TWELFTH” above, an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities); and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.5, no Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty) or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party’s Collateral if such Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities, provided, however, that to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of Collateral from other Borrowers and/or Guarantors that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 11.5; and (iv) in the case of amounts provided pursuant to clause “EIGHTH” above, such amounts shall be held by Agent as cash collateral for the Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof and applied (A) first, to reimburse Issuer from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses “NINTH”, “TENTH”, “ELEVENTH”, “TWELFTH”, and “THIRTEENTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 11.5.

XIV. REGARDING AGENT.

14.1.    Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 2.8(b) and 3.4 and the Fee Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Notes) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in Agent’s discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

14.2.    Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any officer of any of the foregoing contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Borrower or Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or Guarantor. The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Borrowers shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein.

14.3.    Lack of Reliance on Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of

139

each Borrower and each Guarantor. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower or Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

14.4.    Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign on sixty (60) days written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers (provided, that, no such approval by Borrowers shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said sixty (60) day period, the retiring Agent may appoint a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers who shall serve as an Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and all account control agreements), and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent’s appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral; provided, that, Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).

140

14.5.    Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.

14.6.    Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

14.7.    Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.8.    Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective Participation Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount and FILO Commitment Amount, as applicable, constitutes of the total aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts and FILO Commitment Amounts), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided, that, Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

14.9.    Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include

141

Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Borrower or Guarantor as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or Guarantor for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.10.    Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.12 and 9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

14.11.    Borrowers’ and Guarantors’ Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

14.12.    No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. To the extent the Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of Borrowers, Guarantors, their respective Affiliates, or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Laws.

14.13.    Other Agreements. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Borrower or any Guarantor or any deposit accounts of any Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

14.14.    Co-Syndication Agents; Joint Lead Arrangers. Each of the Co-Syndication Agents and Joint Lead Arrangers, each in such capacity, shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility, or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to it

142

in its capacity as a Lender, as Agent, as Swing Loan Lender, or Issuer. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Co-Syndication Agents and Joint Lead Arrangers, each in such capacity, shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any Borrower or Guarantor. Each Lender, Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer, and each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Co-Syndication Agents or the Joint Lead Arrangers in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. Each of the Co-Syndication Agents and Joint Lead Arrangers, each in such capacity, shall be entitled to resign at any time by giving notice to Agent and Borrowers.

XV. BORROWING AGENCY.

15.1.    Borrowing Agency Provisions.

(a)    Each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity, whether verbally, in writing or through electronic methods (including, without limitation, an Approved Electronic Communication) to (i) borrow, (ii) request advances, (iii) request the issuance of Letters of Credit, (iv) sign and endorse notes, (v) execute and deliver all instruments, documents, applications, security agreements, reimbursement agreements and letter of credit agreements for Letters of Credit and all other certificates, notices, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, (vi) make elections regarding interest rates, (vii) give instructions regarding Letters of Credit and agree with Issuer upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit and (viii) otherwise take action under and in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, all on behalf of and in the name of such Borrower or Guarantor, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent.

(b)    The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and Guarantors and at their request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers or Guarantors as a result thereof. To induce Agent and Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby indemnifies Agent and each Lender and holds Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers and Guarantors as provided herein, reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any Lender with respect to this Section 15.1 except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).

(c)    All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower and each Guarantor shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower and each Guarantor shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Agent or any Lender to any Borrower or Guarantor, failure of Agent or any Lender to give any Borrower or Guarantor notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve

143

its rights against any Borrower or Guarantor, the release by Agent or any Lender of any Collateral now or hereafter acquired from any Borrower or Guarantor, and such agreement by each Borrower and each Guarantor to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent or any Lender to the other Borrowers or Guarantors or any Collateral for such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s Obligations or the lack thereof. Each Borrower and each Guarantor waives all suretyship defenses.

15.2.    Waiver of Subrogation. Each Borrower and each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower or Guarantor may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers and Guarantors or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to any other Borrowers’ or Guarantors’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until payment in full of the Obligations.

XVI. MISCELLANEOUS.

16.1.    Governing Law. This Agreement and each Other Document (unless and except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in any such Other Document), and all matters relating hereto or thereto or arising herefrom or therefrom (whether arising under contract law, tort law or otherwise) shall, in accordance with Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Borrower or Guarantor with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement, the Other Documents or any related agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower and each Guarantor accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Borrowing Agent at its address set forth in Section 16.6 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at Agent’s option, by service upon Borrowing Agent which each Borrower and each Guarantor irrevocably appoints as such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s agent for the purpose of accepting service within the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Borrower or Guarantor in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Each Borrower and each Guarantor waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Each Borrower and each Guarantor waives the right to remove any judicial proceeding brought against such Borrower or Guarantor in any state court to any federal court. Any judicial proceeding by any Borrower or Guarantor against Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the County of New York, State of New York.

144

16.2.    Entire Understanding.

(a)    This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between each Borrower, each Guarantor, Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer and each Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by each Borrower’s, each Guarantor’s, Agent’s, Swing Loan Lender’s, Issuer’s and each Lender’s respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may modify this Agreement or any of the Other Documents for the purposes of completing missing content or correcting erroneous content of an administrative nature, without the need for a written amendment; provided, that, the Agent shall send a copy of any such modification to the Borrowers and Guarantors and each Lender (which copy may be provided by electronic mail). Each Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(b)    Required Lenders, Agent with the consent in writing of Required Lenders, and Borrowers and Guarantors may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2(b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by Borrowers and Guarantors, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent, Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Borrowers, or Guarantors thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

(i)    increase the Revolving Commitment Percentage or FILO Commitment Percentage, as applicable, or the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount or Maximum FILO Commitment Amount, as applicable of any Lender without the consent of such Lender directly affected thereby;

(ii)    whether or not any Advances are outstanding, extend the Term or the time for payment of principal or interest of any Advance (excluding the due date of any mandatory prepayment of an Advance), or any fee payable to any Lender, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Advances or reduce any fee payable to any Lender, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except that Required Lenders may elect to waive or rescind any imposition of the Default Rate under Section 3.1 or of default rates of Letter of Credit fees under Section 3.2 (unless imposed by Agent));

(iii)    (x) except in connection with any increase pursuant to Section 2.24 hereof, increase the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, or (y) increase the Maximum FILO Advance Amount without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

145

(iv)    alter the definitions of the terms “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders”, or alter, amend or modify this Section 16.2(b) without the consent of all Lenders;

(v)    alter, amend or modify the provisions of Sections 2.8 or 11.5 without the consent of all Lenders;

(vi)    except in connection with a transaction expressly permitted hereby, release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the consent of all Lenders;

(vii)    change (A) the rights and duties of Agent without the consent of all Lenders, (B) the rights and duties of Issuer without the consent of Issuer or (C) the rights and duties of Swing Loan Lender without the consent of Swing Loan Lender;

(viii)    subject to clause (e) below, permit any Revolving Advance to be made if after giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed the Formula Amount for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days (unless a Liquidation is occurring) or exceed, when aggregated with Protective Advances made pursuant to Section 16.2(f), one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Formula Amount without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(ix)    except in connection with a transaction expressly permitted hereby, (x) release any Borrower or any Guarantor, or (y) limit the liability of any Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any Other Document, in either case without the consent of all Lenders;

(x)    increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders;

(xi)    change the definition of the terms “Formula Amount” or “FILO Formula Amount” or any component definition of either of the foregoing if as a result thereof the amounts available to be borrowed by Borrowers would be increased without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, provided, that, the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of Agent to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves or to exercise its Permitted Discretion in accordance with the terms hereof; or

(xii)    as to any Lender, alter, amend, or modify any provision of this Agreement in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the consent of such Lender.

(c)    Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Borrowers, Guarantors, Lenders, Issuer, Swing Lender and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent, Issuer, Swing Lender and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

146

(d)    In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such consent is denied, then Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to Agent or to another Lender or to any other Person designated by Agent (the “Designated Lender”), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Borrowers. In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Agent or to the Designated Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, Agent or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent.

(e)    Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by, when aggregated with Protective Advances made pursuant to Section 16.2(f), up to ten percent (10%) of the Formula Amount for up to thirty (30) consecutive Business Days (which time limit shall not apply if a Liquidation is then occurring) (the “Out-of-Formula Loans”). If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans; provided, that, if Agent does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either “Eligible Receivables”, “Eligible Credit Card Receivables”, “Eligible Inventory”, or “Eligible Domestic In-Transit Inventory”, as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables or Credit Card Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances or FILO Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%) (when aggregated with Protective Advances made pursuant to Section 16.2(f)), Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(a), Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

147

(f)    In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at any time in Agent’s sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances (“Protective Advances”) to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that, the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not, when aggregated with Out-Of–Formula Loans made pursuant to Section 16.2(e), exceed ten percent (10%) of the Formula Amount in the aggregate; provided, further, that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swing Loans and the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

16.3.    Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders.

(a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent, each Lender, Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower or Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b)    Each Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business any Lender may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in its Advances (other than Swing Loans) to other financial institutions (other than any Defaulting Lender) (each such purchaser of a participating interest, a “Participant”) pursuant to a participation agreement in form and substance satisfactory to such Lender; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall

148

retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 16.2(b)(ii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (ix) that affects such Participant. Each Participant may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof; provided, that, (i) Borrowers and Guarantors shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which they would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Participant had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrowers’ prior written consent, (ii) in no event shall Borrowers or Guarantors be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Participant, and (iii) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.10 and 3.11 as if it were an assignee under this Section 16.3. Each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby grants to any Participant a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Participant as security for the Participant’s interest in the Advances. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at a Borrower’s request, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.11 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)    Any Lender, with the consent of Agent and, to the extent required by the provisos in the last sentence of this subsection (c), Borrowers and Guarantors, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances and/or FILO Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons and one or more additional Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender

149

hereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage and/or FILO Commitment Percentage, as applicable, as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and/or FILO Commitment Percentages, as applicable, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Borrower and each Guarantor (x) hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and/or FILO Commitment Percentages, as applicable, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents, and (y) shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing; provided, however, that the consent of Borrowers and Guarantors (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such sale, assignment or transfer or (y) such sale, assignment or transfer is to a Permitted Assignee; provided, further, Borrowers and Guarantors shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale, assignment or transfer unless they shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received prior notice thereof.

(d)    Any Lender, with the consent of Agent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances and/or FILO Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity, whether a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that (i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and (ii) is administered, serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a “Purchasing CLO” and together with each Participant and Purchasing Lender, each a “Transferee” and collectively the “Transferees”), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being assigned (“Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement”), executed by any intermediate purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the transferor Lender, and Agent as appropriate and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing CLO thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Borrowers and Guarantors shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.

150

(e)    Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement and Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, each Guarantor, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO.

(f)    Each Borrower and each Guarantor authorizes each Lender to disclose, subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 16.15, to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Borrower or Guarantor which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Borrower or Guarantor; provided, that, any prospective Transferee has been advised and has agreed in writing to keep such information confidential in accordance with Section 16.15 hereof or in accordance with other customary confidentiality terms generally consistent with Section 16.15.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

16.4.    Application of Payments. Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower or Guarantor makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5.    Indemnity.

(a)    Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys), employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses

151

and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel)) (collectively, “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any action or failure to act or action taken only after delay or the satisfaction of any conditions by any Indemnified Party in connection with and/or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery or administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents, the credit facilities established hereunder and thereunder and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (iii) any Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Agent, Issuer or any Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents, (v) any threatened or actual imposition of fines or penalties, or disgorgement of benefits, for violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law by any Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrowers, or any Guarantor, and (vi) any claim, litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or instrumentality, any Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrowers, or any Guarantor, or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Agent or any Lender is a party thereto. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, each Borrower and each Guarantor shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Indemnified Party from (x) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, and (y) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party under any Environmental Laws with respect to or in connection with the Real Property, any Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Real Property (whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate), including any Claims consisting of or relating to the imposition or assertion of any Lien on any of the Real Property under any Environmental Laws and any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of Agent or any Lender. Borrowers’ and Guarantors’ obligations under this Section 16.5 shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials, in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel) asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s, or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste, or

152

other Toxic Substances. This Section 16.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes or Charges other than any Taxes or Charges that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any non-Tax or non-Charge claim (it being understood and agreed that Section 3.10 shall apply with respect to Taxes and Charges).

(b)    The foregoing in clause (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower or Guarantor shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Party under this Section 16.5 with respect to any Claim (i) that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines pursuant to a non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or its officers, directors, employees, advisors, or agents, (ii) resulting from a claim brought by a Borrower or Guarantor against an Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under this Agreement or the Other Documents, if such Borrower or Guarantor has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim by a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) resulting from (x) disputes solely between or among the Secured Parties that do not involve any acts or omissions of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or (y) disputes solely between or among Indemnified Parties other than claims against Agent or any other Indemnified Person in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as arranger or agent or similar role hereunder (so long as such dispute does not involve, or result from, an action or inaction by a Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Affiliate, advisor or related party of any of the foregoing).

16.6.    Notice. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to Borrowing Agent or any Borrower or Guarantor or to Agent, Issuer, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender at their respective addresses set forth below or at such other address as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice of change of address under this Section.

16.7.    Survival. The obligations of Borrowers and Guarantors under Sections 2.2(g), 2.2(h), 2.2(i), 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 16.5 and 16.9 and the obligations of Lenders under Sections 2.2, 2.15(b), 2.16, 2.18, 2.19, 14.8 and 16.5, shall survive payment in full of the Obligations or the occurrence of any event comprising such term. All representations and warranties of such Borrower and such Guarantor contained in this Agreement and the Other Documents to which it is a party shall survive the execution, delivery and acceptance thereof by the parties thereto and the closing of the transactions described therein or related thereto.

16.8.    Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

16.9.    Expenses. Borrowers and Guarantors shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel to Agent and one local counsel to Agent in each reasonably necessary or advisable jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution,

155

delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, any Lender or Issuer (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel to Agent and one primary counsel to the Lenders, one local counsel to Agent in each reasonably necessary or advisable jurisdiction, and one additional counsel to Lenders in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Advances made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Advances or Letters of Credit, and (iv) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of Agent’s regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of any Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s, or any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s Affiliate’s or Subsidiary’s books, records and business properties.

16.10.    Injunctive Relief. Each Borrower and each Guarantor recognizes that, in the event any Borrower or Guarantor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders; therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

16.11.    Consequential Damages. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other Document. None of any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other Document, except for any such special, indirect, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages included in any third party claim against an Indemnified Party as to which claim such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

16.12.    Captions. The captions at various places in this Agreement are intended for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this Agreement.

16.13.    Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including email transmission of a PDF image) shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

156

16.14.    Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits thereto.

16.15.    Confidentiality; Sharing Information.

(a)    Agent, each Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer and each Transferee shall hold all Information obtained by Agent, such Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or such Transferee pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with Agent’s, such Lender’s, Swing Loan Lender’s, Issuer’s and such Transferee’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature; provided, however, Agent, each Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer and each Transferee may disclose such Information (a) to its examiners, Affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential at all times in accordance with this Agreement), (b) to Agent, any Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any prospective Transferees (provided, that, any prospective Transferee has been advised and has agreed in writing to keep such information confidential in accordance herewith or in accordance with other customary confidentiality terms generally consistent with this Section 16.15), (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process, (d) to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any Other Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) with the consent of Borrowing Agent, which consent may be withheld in the Borrowing Agent’s sole discretion, and (f) to the extent such Information (x) becomes lawfully publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes lawfully available to Agent, any Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than any Borrower or Guarantor) known to Agent, such Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or such Affiliate not to be subject to any confidentiality agreement or undertaking in favor of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided, further, that (i) unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, Agent, each Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer and each Transferee shall use its reasonable best efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify the applicable Borrower or Guarantor of the applicable request for disclosure of such Information (A) by a Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of a Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or a Transferee by such Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii) in no event shall Agent, any Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials furnished by any Borrower or Guarantor other than those documents and instruments in possession of Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral once the Obligations have been paid in full.

(b)    For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, Holdings) relating to any Borrower or Guarantor or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent, any Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure

157

by any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, provided, that, in the case of information received from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(c)    Each Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Borrower or Guarantor or one or more of its respective Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby authorizes each Lender to share any Information delivered to such Lender by such Borrower or Guarantor and its respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding any non-disclosure agreement or similar document executed by Agent in favor of any Borrower or Guarantor or any Affiliates of any of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede such agreements.

16.16.    Publicity. Agent, Lenders, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer shall not be permitted to use information related to the syndication and arrangement of the credit facilities set forth in this Agreement in connection with marketing, press releases or other transactional announcements or updates provided to investor or trade publications, including, but not limited to, the placement of “tombstone” advertisements in publications of their choice at their own expense, without the prior written consent of Borrowing Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that, (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Agent, Lenders, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer may include references to such credit facilities in their marketing materials without the prior written consent of Borrowing Agent so long as such references shall be limited to: (A) a description of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including industry type; (B) a reproduction of any Borrower’s logo; (C) a description of Agent’s, Lenders’, Swing Loan Lender’s or Issuer’s in such transactions (e.g., agent, arranger, lender, issuing bank); (D) the date and amount of such credit facilities; and (E) the names of Borrowers and Guarantors, and (ii) upon the consent by Borrowing Agent, Agent and Lenders may make and distribute reproductions of such consented-to marketing, press releases or other transactional announcements or updates.

16.17.    Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act.

(a)    Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign

158

bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

(b)    The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, any Lender may from time to time request, and each Borrower and each Guarantor shall provide to such Lender, such Borrower’s or Guarantor’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identifying information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and any other Anti-Terrorism Law.

16.18.    Anti-Terrorism Laws.

(a)    Each Borrower and each Guarantor represents and warrants as follows:

(i)    No Borrower, Guarantor, or Subsidiary is in violation of any Sanctions. No Borrower, Guarantor, or Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of each such Borrower and Guarantor, any director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate of such Borrower, Guarantor, or Subsidiary (each Person described in this sentence being referred to herein as a “Covered Entity”) (a) is a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity, (b) has any assets located in Sanctioned Entities, or (c) does business in or with, or derives revenues from investments in, or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Entities.

Each of the Borrowers, Guarantors, and Subsidiaries, and to the knowledge of each such Borrower and Guarantor, each other Covered Entity, is in compliance with all Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. No proceeds of any Advance will be used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity, or otherwise used in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanction, Anti-Corruption Law or Anti-Money Laundering Law by any Person (including any Lender, provider of Cash Management Products and Services, provider of any Interest Rate Hedge or Foreign Currency Hedge, or other individual or entity participating in any transaction).

(b)    Each Borrower and each Guarantor covenants and agrees as follows:

(i)    Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any Other Document; or

RECITALS

A. Executive and the Company are parties to the Employment Agreement dated February 5, 2016 (the “Employment Agreement”).

B. Executive has made the decision to retire from the Company.

C. The Company has agreed to accept Executive’s retirement from the Company.

NOW THEREFORE, in recognition of Executive’s service with the Company, and in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and obligations contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is mutually acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Definitions.

(a) Throughout this Agreement, the term “the Company” shall encompass the following: (i) the Company, as well as any division thereof, parent, subsidiary, affiliated entity, or related entity; and (ii) any current or former officer, director, trustee, agent, employee, shareholder, representative, insurer, or employee benefit or welfare program or plan (including administrators, trustees, fiduciaries, and insurers of such program or plan) of an entity referenced in or encompassed by Section 1(a)(i).

(b) Throughout this Agreement, the term “Retirement Date” shall mean the close of business on June 15, 2018, or such earlier date as Executive’s employment terminates pursuant to Section 2.

2. Retirement. The Company agrees that Executive will continue in the employ of the Company until the close of business on the Retirement Date, or on such earlier date as the parties mutually agree in writing, on which date Executive’s employment will terminate and that, except for the specified provisions that survive or otherwise apply as provided herein, the Employment Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force and effect as of the Retirement Date. Any internal statement that the Company desires to issue regarding Executive’s retirement or relating to the end of her employment (excluding any statement made on a Form 8k or any other external statement) shall be reviewed before any issuance thereof with Executive and Executive shall have the right to approve the language of any such internal statement, and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

1

3. Compensation Plans and Programs. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive is not entitled to any payment or benefit under or pursuant to, and hereby waives any claims or rights with respect to, each and every plan, program or agreement in which Executive was or is a participant or party including, without limitation, the Finish Line Long Term Incentive Bonus Program for fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Finish Line Long Term Incentive Bonus Program for fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Finish Line Long Term Incentive Bonus Program for fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Finish Line Executive Officer Bonus Program for fiscal year 2018, the Finish Line Executive Officer Bonus Program for fiscal year 2019, and all restricted stock, performance shares, and any other awards granted to Executive pursuant to the Finish Line, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated and as amended, and any award agreement issued pursuant thereto; provided, however, such waiver shall not apply to any benefits to which Executive is entitled under a plan subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

4. Retirement Payments and Other Consideration. Upon retirement, Executive shall be entitled to the compensation earned by her through the Retirement Date and expense reimbursement pursuant to the Company’s expense policy. In addition, as part of the retirement package, if Executive signs this Agreement and this Agreement is not revoked by Executive, the Company shall provide Executive with the following, all in consideration of the terms and conditions and releases contained in this Agreement, on the Effective Date:

(a) The Company agrees to pay Executive a retirement payment equal to $1,786,059.50 (the “Retirement Payment”), which is comprised of $1,575,017.00, plus a payment of $154,696.50 for cancellation of Executive’s March, 27, 2017 time-based restricted stock grant, and plus a payment of $59,346.00 for the cancellation of Executive’s March 28, 2016 time-based restricted stock grant. The Retirement Payment shall be made to Executive in a lump sum (less appropriate withholding).

(b) In addition, Executive shall be provided with such conversion rights that may exist under any insurance benefit or plan for which she was eligible during her employment.

In paying the amount specified in this Section 4, the Company makes no representation as to the tax consequences or liability arising from said payment including, without limitation, under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or Section 280G or 4999 of the Code; provided, however, the Company acknowledges that its outside accountants have determined that the Retirement Payment is not an excess parachute payment under Section 280G or Section 4999 of the Code and to the extent that determination is incorrect then Executive agrees to return such amount of the Retirement Payment necessary so that it is not an excess parachute payment. Section 7(f) and Section 7(g) of the Employment Agreement, however, shall continue to apply to any payment made to Executive and is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. Moreover, the parties understand and agree that Executive’s

2

tax consequences and/or liability arising from the payment to Executive shall be the sole responsibility of Executive. To this extent, Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive will pay any and all income tax, excise tax or other tax which may be determined to be due by her in connection with the payment described in this Section 4. Executive also agrees to indemnify the Company for any and all tax liability (including, but not limited to, fines, penalties, interest, and costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees) incurred by her arising from or relating to the payment described in this Section 4 and/or imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, the State of Indiana, or any other taxing agency or tribunal as a result of Executive’s failure to timely pay Executive’s taxes on said payment or any portion thereof.

The payments and obligations assumed by the Company in this Section 4 reflect consideration provided to Executive over and above anything of value to which Executive already is entitled, and will be subject to all applicable taxes, withholdings, and deductions. The Company may deduct from any payment to Executive any applicable withholding. Executive acknowledges and agrees that no other sums or amounts are or will be due or owing to her and expressly waives any rights or claims to additional sums, amounts, privileges, or benefits not expressly provided for in this Agreement, whether written, oral, express or implied, other than compensation earned by her through the Retirement Date, expense reimbursement pursuant to the Company’s expense policy, and her rights as a shareholder of the Company.

5. General Release and Waiver. In consideration for the opportunities afforded by this Agreement, Executive (for Executive and Executive’s agents, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators) hereby releases and discharges the Company from any claim, demand, action, or cause of action, known or unknown, which arose at any time from the beginning of time to the date Executive executes this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and except for Executive’s right to enforce this Agreement, and she waives all claims relating to, arising out of, or in any way connected with Executive’s employment with the Company including, without limitation, any claim, demand, action, cause of action, including money damages and claims for attorneys’ fees, based on but not limited to: (a) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq; (b) the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq.; (c) the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 701, et seq.; (d) the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. § 2601, et seq.; (e) the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 1981; (f) Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1001, et seq.; (g) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e), et seq.; (h) the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681, et seq.; (i) the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101, et seq.; (j) the Indiana Civil Rights Law, Ind. Code § 22-9-1-1, et seq.; (k) the Indiana wage payment statute, Ind. Code § 22-2-4-1, et seq.; and any Indiana wage law; (l) any existing or potential entitlement under any Company program or plan, including wages or other paid leave; (m) any existing or potential agreement, contract, representation, policy, procedure, or statement (whether any of the foregoing are express or implied, oral or written); (n) claims arising under any other federal, state and local fair employment practices law, disability benefits law, and any other employee or labor relations statute, executive order, law or ordinance, and any duty or other employment-related obligation, claims arising from any other type of statute,

3

executive order, law or ordinance, claims arising from contract or public policy, as well as tort, tortious cause of conduct, breach of contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, together with all claims for monetary and equitable relief, punitive and compensatory relief and attorneys’ fees and costs; (o) the Indiana Constitution; and/or (p) the United States Constitution.

Executive understands and agrees that Executive is releasing the Company from any and all claims by which Executive is giving up the opportunity to recover any compensation, damages, or any other form of relief in any proceeding brought by Executive or on Executive’s behalf, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement is not intended to operate as a waiver of any retirement or pension benefits that are vested, the eligibility and entitlement to which shall be governed by the terms of the applicable plan. Nor shall this Agreement operate to waive or bar any claim or right which — by express or unequivocal terms of law — may not under any circumstances be waived or barred. Moreover, this Agreement shall not operate to waive rights, causes of action or claims under the ADEA if those rights, causes of action or claims arise after the date Executive signs this Agreement. Nor shall this Agreement preclude Executive from challenging the validity of this Agreement under the ADEA.

6. Mutual Disclaimer. This Agreement is entered into to provide Executive with a retirement package and to terminate the parties’ relationship on an amicable basis and shall not be construed as an admission of liability by either party. Accordingly, Executive states under penalties of perjury that - at the time Executive executes this Agreement - Executive is not aware of any facts or incidents of wrongdoing, liability, or discrimination by the Company from the beginning of time up to the date Executive signs the Agreement. The parties further understand that the retirement package creates no precedent for the Company in dealing with any future separations.

7. Return of Property. On the Retirement Date, and otherwise upon the request of the Company, Executive agrees to return to the custody of the Company all the Company’s property and Confidential Information (as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement), as well as all copies thereof, that are in Executive’s possession, custody or control. This includes all tangible personal property (such as keys, credit cards, computers, tablets, thumb drives, hand held devices, cell/smart phones, PDAs, etc.) and all writings, contracts, records, files, tape recordings, correspondence, communications, summaries, data, notes, memoranda, electronic storage devices, diskettes, or any other database or source containing information which relates to or references the Company and which was provided by the Company or obtained as a result of Executive’s employment with the Company.

8. Covenant Not to Sue. Except for those claims, causes of action or rights explicitly excluded from release in Section 5 above, Executive agrees that Executive will never file or accept anything of value from a lawsuit concerning any claim, issue, or matter relating to or arising out of employment with the Company, the cessation of employment, or the compensation or benefits payable in connection with employment or termination of employment. Should Executive violate any aspect of this Section 8, Executive agrees: (a)

4

that the lawsuit is null and void, and must be summarily withdrawn and/or dismissed; (b) to pay all costs, expenses, and damages incurred by the Company in responding to or as a result of any lawsuit brought by Executive that breaches this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees; and (c) to return the amount paid pursuant to Section 3(a) and Section 4 – save $500 – within fourteen (14) days after a final determination has been made by a court or other legal authority that Executive has violated this Section of the Agreement. In the event this reimbursement provision is triggered, Executive agrees that the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

9. Non-disparagement. Executive will not, at any time during or after the date hereof, make legally impermissible statements that disparage the Company or any, director, officer, or employee of the Company; provided, however, that it will not be a violation of this Section 9 for Executive to testify truthfully under oath or in connection with any investigation undertaken by any local, state, or federal agency. The Company agrees that neither its executive officers nor members of its board of directors will make legally impermissible statements that disparage Executive; provided, however, that it will not be a violation of this Section 9 for such individuals to testify truthfully under oath or in connection with any investigation undertaken by any local, state, or federal agency.

10. Successors. This Agreement shall apply to Executive, and inure to the benefit of, as well as to her heirs, executors, beneficiaries, administrators, and agents. This Agreement also shall apply to, and inure to the benefit of the Company, the predecessors, successors, and assigns of the Company and each past, present, or future employee, agent, representative, insurer, trustee, officer, or director of the Company.

11. Severability. The parties explicitly acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Agreement are both reasonable and enforceable. However, the provisions of this Agreement are severable, and the invalidity of any one or more provisions shall not affect or limit the enforceability of the remaining provisions. Should any provision be held unenforceable for any reason, then such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be interpreted, enforced, and governed under the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof. Moreover, while the parties do not contemplate any future disputes, Executive agrees that any action or claim regarding this Agreement or otherwise brought against the Company by or on behalf of Executive, Executive’s agents, assigns, heirs, administrators, or executors that relate to Executive’s employment or the termination thereof shall be maintained in the State of Indiana. If brought in state court, the action shall be filed in Marion County; if brought in federal court, the action shall be filed in the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. By signing this Agreement, Executive expressly consents to personal jurisdiction in the State of Indiana. Both parties waive the right to a jury trial.

5

13. Nonwaiver. The waiver by the Company or Executive of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Executive shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

14. Indemnification. Executive shall be indemnified by the Company against claims arising in connection with Executive’s status as an employee, officer, director or agent of the Company in accordance with the Company’s indemnity policies and programs for its executives, subject to applicable law.

15. Knowledge and Understanding. Executive acknowledges that, in accordance with the ADEA, Executive:

(a) has been, and is hereby, advised to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement and has had the opportunity to do so;

(b) has been given a period of twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement, which allows Executive to make a knowing, voluntary, and fully informed choice about whether to sign this Agreement;

(c) has availed Executive of all opportunities Executive deems necessary to make a voluntary, knowing, and fully informed decision; and

(d) is fully aware of Executive’s rights, and has carefully read and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement before signing.

16. Effective Date. This Agreement may only be accepted during the twenty-one (21) day period after Executive receives this Agreement. In the event Executive executes this Agreement within the twenty-one (21) days following her receipt of this Agreement, Executive shall have an additional period of seven (7) days to revoke this Agreement. Any revocation shall be in writing and delivered via facsimile (facsimile number (317) 613-6717) to the attention of the General Counsel. This Agreement shall not become effective, therefore, until Executive has executed the Agreement and the seven-day revocation period has expired without revocation being exercised (such date that this Agreement becomes effective is the “Effective Date”).

17. Complete Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the complete agreement between the parties relating to the subjects herein. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in executing this Agreement, Executive does not rely and has not relied upon any representations or statements not set forth herein made by the Company with regard to the subject matter, basis, or effect of this Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive agrees that Sections 5, 6, and 8 through 11, of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

18. Prevailing Party Fees and Expenses. If either party is required to go into court to enforce any provision of this Agreement, and/or any contracts, plans, benefits or other provision referenced in this Agreement, the prevailing party in such legal proceedings shall be entitled to reimbursement for all costs, expenses and damages incurred by the

6

losing party in prosecuting and/or defending the lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses incurred by the losing party in seeking enforcement of this Agreement, and/or any contracts, plans, benefits or other provision referenced in this Agreement.
