ARTICLE II

Amount and Terms of Credit

SECTION 2.01 Commitment of the Lenders.

(a) Each Revolving Credit Lender, severally and not jointly with any other Lender, agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make Credit Extensions, on a revolving basis, subject in each case to the following limitations:

(i) Credit Extensions shall be made only to the extent of the amount of Availability;

(ii) The aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not at any time exceed $10,000,000; and

(iii) Subject to all of the other provisions of this Agreement, Revolving Credit Loans that are repaid may be reborrowed prior to the Termination Date. No new Credit Extension (other than Permitted Overadvances) shall be made to the Borrowers after the Termination Date.

(iv) The aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Extensions shall not at any time exceed the Commitments.

(b) Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation to fund its Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement nor increase the obligation of any such other Lender.

SECTION 2.02 Reserves; Changes to Reserves.

(a) The initial Inventory Reserves and Availability Reserves as of the Closing Date are the following:

(i) Gift Certificate and Merchandise Credit Liability (an Availability Reserve): An amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the Gift Certificate and Merchandise Credit Liabilities as reflected from time to time in the Borrowers’ books and records;

(ii) Customer Deposits (an Availability Reserve): An amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the customer deposits as reflected from time to time on the Borrowers’ books and records; and

and expenses which will be expended relative to such Inventory imported by the Borrowers.

(iv) Rent (an Availability Reserve): in an amount equal to two month’s rent for each of the Borrowers’ leased locations in Landlord Lien States (but only if a landlord’s waiver, acceptable to the Administrative Agent, has not been received by the Administrative Agent).

(b) The Administrative Agent may hereafter establish additional Reserves or change any of the foregoing Reserves, in the exercise of the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.03 Making of Loans.

(a) Except as set forth in SECTION 2.08, SECTION 2.09 and SECTION 2.10, Revolving Credit Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be either Prime Rate Loans or LIBO Loans as the Lead Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, may request (which request shall be made in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C) subject to and in accordance with this SECTION 2.03. All Swingline Loans shall be only Prime Rate Loans. All Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type. Each Revolving Credit Lender may fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan by causing any lending office of such Revolving Credit Lender to make such Revolving Credit Loan; provided, however, that any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Note. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall, subject to its overall policy considerations, use reasonable efforts (but shall not be obligated) to select a lending office which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the Borrowers pursuant to SECTION 2.13. Subject to the other provisions of this SECTION 2.03 and the provisions of SECTION 2.10, Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time, but in any event no more than eight (8) Borrowings of LIBO Loans may be outstanding at any time.

(b) The Lead Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days’ prior telephonic notice (thereafter confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of LIBO Loans and one (1) Business Days’ prior notice of each Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans. Any such notice, to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Boston time, on the third Business Day in the case of LIBO Loans prior to the date on which such Borrowing is to be made and, and no later than 1:00 p.m., Boston time, in the case of Prime Rate Loans on the date on which such Borrowing is to be made. Such notice shall be irrevocable, shall contain disbursement instructions and shall specify: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans or LIBO Loans and, if LIBO Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto; (ii) the amount of the proposed Borrowing (which shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000, but not less than $1,000,000, in the case of LIBO Loans); and (iii) the date of the proposed Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). If no election of Interest Period is specified in any such notice for a Borrowing of LIBO Loans, such notice shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no election is made as to the Type of Loan, such notice shall be deemed a request for

Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of its proportionate share of such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing, the Type of Borrowing being requested and the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto, as appropriate. On the borrowing date specified in such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall make its share of the Borrowing available at the office of the Administrative Agent at 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, no later than 3:00 p.m., Boston time, in immediately available funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Credit Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Revolving Credit Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving Credit Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this SECTION 2.03 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In the event a Revolving Credit Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Revolving Credit Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Prime Rate Loans. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in such Borrowing. Upon receipt of the funds made available by the Revolving Credit Lenders to fund any Borrowing hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall disburse such funds in the manner specified in the notice of Borrowing delivered by the Lead Borrower and shall use reasonable efforts to make the funds so received from the Revolving Credit Lenders available to the Borrowers no later than 4:00 p.m., Boston time.

(c) The Administrative Agent, without the request of the Lead Borrower, may advance any interest, fee, service charge, or other payment to which any Credit Party is entitled from the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that an Overadvance may result thereby. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lead Borrower of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof. Such action on the part of the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s rights and the Borrowers’ obligations under SECTION 2.15(a). Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this SECTION 2.03(c) shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable to Prime Rate Loans.

SECTION 2.04 Overadvances.

(a) The Agents and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loan (including, without limitation, any Swingline Loan) or to provide any Letter of Credit if an Overadvance would result.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, make Permitted Overadvances to the Borrowers without the consent of the Revolving Credit Lenders and each Revolving Credit Lender shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted Overadvances may constitute Swingline Loans. The making of a Permitted Overadvance is for the benefit of the Borrowers and shall constitute a Revolving Credit Loan and an Obligation. The making of any such Permitted Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate any Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender to make or permit any Permitted Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Overadvances to remain outstanding.

(c) The making by the Administrative Agent of a Permitted Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of SECTION 2.12(g) regarding the Revolving Credit Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letter of Credit Disbursements.

SECTION 2.05 Swingline Loans

(a) The Swingline Lender is authorized by the Revolving Credit Lenders, but is not obligated, to make Swingline Loans at any time (subject to SECTION 2.05(b)) to the Borrowers up to the amount of the sum of the Swingline Loan Ceiling, plus any Permitted Overadvances, in each case upon a notice of Borrowing from Lead Borrower received by the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender (which notice, at the Swingline Lender’s discretion, may be submitted prior to 1:00 p.m., Boston time, on the Business Day on which such Swingline Loan is requested). Swingline Loans shall be Prime Rate Loans and shall be subject to periodic settlement with the Revolving Credit Lenders under SECTION 2.20 below.

(b) Swingline Loans may be made by Swingline Lender only (i) for Permitted Overadvances or (ii) for administrative convenience, at the Lead Borrower’s request therefor which shall be deemed a representation that the applicable conditions for borrowing under SECTION 4.02 are satisfied. If the conditions for borrowing under SECTION 4.02 cannot in fact be fulfilled, (x) the Lead Borrower shall give immediate notice (a “Noncompliance Notice”) thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide each Revolving Credit Lender with a copy of the Noncompliance Notice, and (y) the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may direct the Swingline Lender to, and the Swingline Lender thereupon shall, cease making Swingline Loans (other than Permitted Overadvances) until such conditions can be satisfied or are waived in accordance with SECTION 9.02. Unless the Required Revolving Credit Lenders so direct the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may, but is not obligated to, continue to make Swingline Loans commencing one (1) Business Day after the Non-Compliance Notice is furnished to the Revolving Credit Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Swingline Loans (other than Permitted Overadvances) shall be made pursuant to this SECTION 2.05(b) if the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loan Credit Extensions and Swingline Loans would result in Availability being less than zero.

SECTION 2.06 Notes.

(a) The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Revolving Credit Lender shall be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note, duly executed on behalf of the Borrowers, dated the

Closing Date, payable to the order of each such Revolving Credit Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment.

(b) The Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender shall be evidenced by a Swingline Note, duly executed on behalf of the Borrowers, dated the Closing Date, payable to the order of the Swingline Lender, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Swingline Loan Ceiling.

(c) Each Lender is hereby authorized by the applicable Borrowers to endorse on a schedule attached to each Note delivered to such Lender (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to such Note and made a part thereof), or otherwise to record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Loan, each payment of interest on any such Loan and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make such a notation or any error therein shall not affect the obligation of any Borrowers to repay the Loans made by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Notes.

(d) Upon receipt of an affidavit of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

SECTION 2.07 Mandatory Principal and Interest Payments on Loans.

(a) Revolving Credit Loans.

(i) Subject to SECTION 2.11, each Prime Rate Loan which is a Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the then Prime Rate, plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans.

(ii) Subject to SECTION 2.08 through SECTION 2.11, each LIBO Loan which is a Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBO Loans.

(iii) Accrued interest on all Revolving Credit Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), after such maturity on demand and upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount prepaid).

SECTION 2.08 Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

(a) The Lead Borrower shall have the right at any time, on three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice, to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Boston time, on the third

Business Day preceding the date of any conversion), (i) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of Prime Rate Loans to Borrowings of LIBO Loans, or (ii) to continue an outstanding Borrowing of LIBO Loans for an additional Interest Period, or (iii) to convert any outstanding Borrowings by the Borrowers of LIBO Loans to a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, subject in each case to the following:

(i) No Borrowing of Loans may be converted into, or continued as, LIBO Loans at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) If less than a full Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans is converted, such conversion shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Credit Lenders based upon their Commitment Percentages for the applicable Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing held by such Revolving Credit Lenders immediately prior to such conversion;

(iii) The aggregate principal amount of Prime Rate Loans being converted into or continued as LIBO Loans shall be in an integral of $100,000 and at least $1,000,000;

(iv) Each Lender shall effect each conversion by applying the proceeds of its new LIBO Loan or Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be, to its Loan being so converted;

(v) The Interest Period with respect to a Borrowing of LIBO Loans effected by a conversion or in respect to the Borrowing of LIBO Loans being continued as LIBO Loans shall commence on the date of conversion or the expiration of the current Interest Period applicable to such continuing Borrowing, as the case may be;

(vi) A Borrowing of LIBO Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(vii) Each request for a conversion or continuation of a Borrowing of LIBO Loans which fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) If the Lead Borrower does not give notice to convert any Borrowing of LIBO Loans, or does not give notice to continue, or does not have the right to continue, any Borrowing as LIBO Loans, in each case as provided in SECTION 2.08(a) above, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted to, or continued as, a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans at the expiration of the then-current Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall, after it receives notice from the Lead Borrower, promptly give each Lender notice of any conversion, in whole or part, of any Loan made by such Lender.

SECTION 2.09 Alternate Rate of Interest for Loans.

If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Borrowing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) Reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) Is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans.

SECTION 2.10 Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (i) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBO Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBO Loan or (ii) at any time the Required Lenders determine that the making or continuance of any LIBO Loans has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Required Lenders in the London interbank market, then, by written notice to the Lead Borrower, such Required Lenders may (x) declare that LIBO Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lenders hereunder, whereupon any request by the Lead Borrower for a LIBO Borrowing shall, as to such Lenders only, be deemed a request for a Prime Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (y) require that all outstanding LIBO Loans made by such Lenders be converted to Prime Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBO Loans shall be automatically converted to Prime Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in SECTION 2.10(b). In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or the Required Lenders shall exercise their rights under clause (ii) of this SECTION 2.10(a), all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBO Loans that would have been made by such Lenders or the converted LIBO Loans of such Lenders, shall instead be applied to repay the Prime Rate Loans made by such Lenders in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBO Loans.

(b) For purposes of this SECTION 2.10, a notice to the Lead Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.10(a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if any LIBO Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period; and otherwise such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Lead Borrower.

SECTION 2.11 Default Interest.

Effective upon written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, after the occurrence of any Event of Default and at all times thereafter while such Event of

Default is continuing, interest shall accrue on all outstanding Loans (including Swingline Loans) (after as well as before judgment, as and to the extent permitted by law) at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to the rate (including the Applicable Margin for Loans) in effect from time to time plus two percent (2.00%) per annum and such interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (or any earlier maturity of the Loans).

SECTION 2.12 Letters of Credit.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date, the Lead Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, may request the Issuing Bank to issue, and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Issuing Bank shall issue, for the account of the relevant Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if after giving effect to such issuance (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings shall exceed $10,000,000, or (ii) the aggregate Revolving Loan Credit Extensions (including Swingline Loans) would exceed the limitation set forth in SECTION 2.01(a)(i).

(b) Each Standby Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is (i) one (1) year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one (1) year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, however, that each Standby Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Lead Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of twelve (12) months or less (but not beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(c) Each Commercial Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is (i) 90 days after the date of the issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit (or such other period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Drafts drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers in dollars on the same Business Day of any such drawing by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such drawing not later than 1:00 p.m., Boston time, on (i) the date that the Lead Borrower shall have received notice of such drawing, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Boston time, on such date, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Lead Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received after 10:00 a.m., Boston time on the day of drawing, provided that, in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the Lead Borrower, and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, such payment shall be financed with a Prime Rate Loan or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Prime Rate Loan or Swingline Loan. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower by telephone or e-mail of

such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make payment thereunder; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such payment.

(e) If the Issuing Bank shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse the Issuing Bank in full on the date such payment is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to Prime Rate Loans for each day from and including the date such payment is made to, but excluding, the date that the Borrowers reimburse the Issuing Bank therefor, provided, however, that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuing Bank when due pursuant to this SECTION 2.12(e), then SECTION 2.11 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this SECTION 2.12(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.

(f) Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank (or the amendment of a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments pursuant to SECTION 9.04 of this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that with respect to all Letter of Credit Outstandings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to reflect the new Commitment Percentages of the assigning and assignee Lenders. Any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with a Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any Lender.

(g) In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any Letter of Credit Disbursement and the Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this SECTION 2.12, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay in dollars and in same day funds to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in dollars and in same day funds. If the Issuing Bank so notifies the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Revolving Credit Lenders prior to 11:00 a.m., Boston time, on any Business Day, each such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Issuing Bank such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds (or, if such notice is received by the Revolving Credit Lenders after 11:00 a.m., Boston time on the day of receipt, payment shall be made on the immediately following Business Day). If and to the extent such

Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to fund its Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment notwithstanding a failure to satisfy any applicable lending conditions or the provisions of SECTION 2.01 or SECTION 2.05, or the occurrence of the Termination Date. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall neither relieve any Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, nor increase the obligation of such other Revolving Credit Lender. Whenever any Revolving Credit Lender has made payments to the Issuing Bank in respect of any reimbursement obligation for any Letter of Credit, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be entitled to share ratably, based on its Commitment Percentage, in all payments and collections thereafter received on account of such reimbursement obligation. All reimbursements to be made by the Loan Parties with respect to Letters of Credit shall be made in dollars or in such other currency as the Letter of Credit is denominated. All participations in Letters of Credit by the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be made in such currency as the Letter of Credit is denominated or in the dollar equivalent thereof.

(h) Whenever the Lead Borrower desires that the Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Lead Borrower shall give to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written (including telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed upon in writing by the Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower) specifying the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, amended, renewed or extended (which shall be a Business Day), the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit so requested, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and the provisions thereof. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower shall also submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, provided that in the event of a conflict between the terms of such application and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall supersede any contrary terms in such application and shall control.

(i) The obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit Disbursement shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to, and shall not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrowers might have or might acquire as a result of the payment by the Issuing Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the Borrowers thereof): (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of a Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which a Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or against the Issuing Bank or any of the Revolving Credit Lenders, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions

contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged or fraudulent in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this SECTION 2.12, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Loan Party’s obligations hereunder; or (vi) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. No Credit Party shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(j) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Lead Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Loan Parties shall immediately deposit in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Outstandings as of such date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Each such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such Cash Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent (at the request of the Lead Borrower and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense); such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for payments on account of drawings under Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the

satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, shall be applied to satisfy other Obligations.

SECTION 2.13 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any holding company of any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBO Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBO Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such LIBO Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this SECTION 2.13 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this SECTION 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation.

SECTION 2.14 Optional Prepayment of Loans; Reimbursement of Lenders.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay outstanding Loans in whole or in part, (x) with respect to LIBO Loans, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written, telex or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent, prior to 1:00 p.m., Boston time, and (y) with respect to Prime Rate Loans, on the same Business Day if written, telex or facsimile notice is received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., Boston time, subject in each case to the following limitations:

(i) Subject to SECTION 2.16, all prepayments shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for application, first, to the prepayment of outstanding Swingline Loans, second, to the prepayment of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratably in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage, third, to the funding of a cash collateral deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to 105% of all Letter of Credit Outstandings;

(ii) Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Prime Rate Loans shall be prepaid before outstanding LIBO Loans are prepaid. Each partial prepayment of LIBO Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000. No prepayment of LIBO Loans shall be permitted pursuant to this SECTION 2.14 other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the applicable Borrowers simultaneously reimburse the Lenders for all Breakage Costs (as defined below) associated therewith. No partial prepayment of a Borrowing of LIBO Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the LIBO Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $1,000,000 (unless all such outstanding LIBO Loans are being prepaid in full); and

(iii) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount and Type of the Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBO Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBO Loans were made. Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrowers to prepay such Loan by the amount and on the date stated therein. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Lead Borrower hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount and Type of the Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.

(b) The Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender on demand for any loss incurred or to be incurred by the Lenders in the reemployment of the funds (i) resulting from any prepayment (for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, conversion to Prime Rate Loans or acceleration by virtue of, and after, the occurrence of an Event of Default) of any LIBO Loan required or permitted under this Agreement, if such LIBO Loan is prepaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBO Loan or (ii) in the event that, after the Lead Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under SECTION 2.03 in respect of LIBO Loans, such LIBO Loans are not made on the first day of the Interest Period specified in

such notice of borrowing for any reason other than a breach by such Lender of its obligations hereunder or the delivery of any notice pursuant to SECTION 2.09 or SECTION 2.10. Such loss shall be the amount (herein, collectively, “Breakage Costs”) as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount so paid or not borrowed at a rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such LIBO Loan, for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow to the last day (x) in the case of a payment or refinancing of a LIBO Loan with Prime Rate Loans other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBO Loan, of the then current Interest Period for such LIBO Loan or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, of the Interest Period for such LIBO Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) in the case of a LIBO Loan, the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank market. Any Lender demanding reimbursement for such loss shall deliver to the Lead Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined.

(c) In the event the Borrowers fail to prepay any Loan on the date specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to SECTION 2.14(a), the Borrowers, on demand by any Lender, shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any loss incurred by such Lender as a result of such failure to prepay, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expenses incurred by reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by such Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such prepayment. Any Lender demanding such payment shall deliver to the Lead Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined.

(d) Whenever any partial prepayment of Loans are to be applied to LIBO Loans, such LIBO Loans shall be prepaid in the chronological order of their Interest Payment Dates or as the Lead Borrower may otherwise designate in writing.

SECTION 2.15 Mandatory Prepayment; Commitment Termination; Cash Collateral.

The outstanding Obligations shall be subject to prepayment as follows:

(a) If at any time Availability is less than $0.00, the Borrowers will immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent (1) prepay the Revolving Credit Loans in an amount necessary to eliminate such deficiency, and (2) if, after giving effect to the prepayment in full of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans such deficiency has not been eliminated, deposit cash into the applicable Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to 105% of the Letters of Credit Outstanding until such deficiency has been eliminated.

(b) The Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid daily in accordance with (and to the extent required under) the provisions of SECTION 2.16 hereof.

(c) Upon the Termination Date, the Commitments and the credit facility provided hereunder shall be terminated in full and the Borrowers shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans and all other outstanding Obligations owing by them.

SECTION 2.16 Cash Management; Application of Payments.

(a) Annexed hereto as Schedule 2.18(a) is a list of all present DDAs maintained by the Borrowers, which Schedule includes, with respect to each depository (i) the name and address of such depository; (ii) the account number(s) maintained with such depository; and (iii) a contact person at such depository.

(b) Annexed hereto as Schedule 2.18(b) is a list describing all arrangements to which any Borrower is a party with respect to the payment to such Borrower of the proceeds of all credit card charges for sales by such Borrower.

(i) deliver to the Collateral Agent notifications (each, a “PDA Notification”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I which have been executed on behalf of such Borrower and addressed to each depository institution listed on Schedule 2.18(a):

(ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent agreements (each, a “Credit Card Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J which have been executed on behalf of such Borrower and each of the Borrower’s credit card clearinghouses and processors; and

(iii) enter into a blocked account agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”) in a form approved by the Collateral Agent with the bank(s) with which such Borrower maintains the deposit account(s) (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”) listed on Schedule 2.18(c)(iii) attached hereto.

(iv) deliver to the Collateral Agent a lockbox agreement (the “Lockbox Agreement”) with respect to the deposit of Borrowers’ wholesale accounts, in form and substance, and entered into with a financial institution, acceptable to the Collateral Agent.

(d)(i) Each DDA Notification shall require the ACH or wire transfer not less frequently than twice weekly (and whether or not there is then an outstanding balance in the Loan Account) of all available cash receipts (the “Cash Receipts”) to the concentration account maintained by the Collateral Agent at LaSalle Bank (the “Concentration Account”) or to a Blocked Account, and (ii) each Credit Card Agreement, Blocked Account Agreement and Lockbox Agreement shall require the ACH or wire transfer on each Business Day (and whether or not there is then an outstanding balance in the Loan Account) of all available Cash Receipts to the Concentration Account maintained, in each case, including, without limitation, those from:

(i) the sale of Inventory and other Collateral;

(ii) all proceeds of collections of Accounts;

(iii) all Net Proceeds, and all other cash payments received by a Borrower from any Person or from any source or on account of any Prepayment Event or other transaction or event;

(iv) the then contents of each DDA (net of any minimum balance, not to exceed $2,500.00, as may be required to be kept in the subject DDA by the bank at which such DDA is maintained); and

(v) the proceeds of all credit card charges.

(e) In addition, the Loan Parties shall cause all Net Proceeds, and all other cash payments received by a Borrower from any Person or from any source or on account of any Prepayment Event to be deposited into the Concentration Account.

(f) The Borrowers shall accurately report to the Administrative Agent all amounts deposited in the Blocked Accounts to ensure the proper transfer of funds as set forth above. If, at any time, any cash or cash equivalents owned by any Borrowers are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account that is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (or a DDA which is swept to a Blocked Account), the Collateral Agent may require the applicable Borrowers to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account, and all future deposits made to a Blocked Account which is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement.

(g) The Borrowers may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Collateral Agent of appropriate Blocked Account Agreements consistent with the provisions of this SECTION 2.16 and otherwise satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The Borrowers shall not enter into any agreements with credit card processors other than the ones expressly contemplated herein unless contemporaneously therewith, a Credit Card Agreement, is executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent.

(h) The Borrowers shall maintain one or more disbursement accounts with LaSalle Bank, and may also maintain one or more disbursement accounts (collectively, the “Disbursement Accounts”) with other financial institutions, to be used by the Borrowers for disbursements and payments (including payroll) in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder. The only Disbursement Accounts as of the Closing Date are those described in Schedule 2.18(h).

(i) The Concentration Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Borrower has no right of withdrawal from the Concentration Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this SECTION 2.16, any Borrower receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Borrower

for the Collateral Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Borrower’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Borrower and shall, not later than the Business Day after receipt thereof, be deposited into the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Borrower may be instructed by the Collateral Agent.

(j) The following shall apply to deposits and payments under and pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) Funds shall be deemed to have been deposited to the Concentration Account on the Business Day on which deposited, provided that notice of such deposit is available to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m., Boston time, on that Business Day;

(ii) Funds paid to the Administrative Agent, other than by deposit to the Concentration Account, shall be deemed to have been received on the Business Day when they are good and collected funds, provided that notice of such payment is available to the Collateral Agent by 2:00 p.m., Boston time, on that Business Day;

(iii) If notice of a deposit to the Concentration Account or payment is not available to the Administrative Agent until after 2:00 p.m., Boston time, on a Business Day, such deposit or payment shall be deemed to have been made at 9:00 a.m., Boston time, on the then next Business Day;

(iv) On each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply the then collected balance of the Concentration Account (net of fees charged, and of such impressed balances as may be required by the bank at which the Concentration Account is maintained) in accordance with this SECTION 2.16; provided, however, interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Account shall be calculated, for the account of the Administrative Agent only, as if payments had been made one (1) Business Day after such application; and

(v) If any item deposited to the Concentration Account and credited to the Loan Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, whether or not such return is rightful or timely, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to reverse such credit and charge the amount of such item to the applicable Loan Account and the applicable Borrowers shall indemnify the Credit Parties against all claims and losses resulting from such dishonor or return.

(k) As long as no Event of Default exists and is then continuing, and the Obligations have not been accelerated (if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Obligations have been accelerated, SECTION 7.03 shall apply), in the event and on each occasion that all payments made under SECTION 2.14, SECTION 2.15 or SECTION 2.16 hereof shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(i) FIRST, to pay Credit Party Expenses, indemnities and other similar amounts then due in connection with Credit Extensions to the Borrowers;

(ii) SECOND, to pay interest and fees due and payable on the Credit Extensions to the Borrowers;

(iii) THIRD, to pay outstanding Swingline Loans of the Borrowers and all outstanding reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit of the Borrowers;

(iv) FOURTH, to pay principal outstanding under other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans that are Prime Rate Loans and all outstanding reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit;

(v) FIFTH, to pay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBO Loans and all Breakage Costs due in respect of such repayment or, at the Lead Borrower’s option, to fund a cash collateral deposit to the Cash Collateral Account sufficient to pay, and with direction to pay, all such outstanding LIBO Loans on the last day of the then pending Interest Period therefor;

(vi) SIXTH, to pay outstanding Obligations with respect to Cash Management Services furnished to any Loan Party; and

(vii) SEVENTH, to pay all other outstanding Obligations and Other Liabilities of the Borrowers then due and payable.

If all Obligations are paid, any excess Net Proceeds shall be deposited in a separate cash collateral account established by the Administrative Agent at LaSalle Bank, and as long as no Event of Default then exists, shall be released to the Lead Borrower upon request therefor and utilized by the Borrowers prior to any further Revolving Credit Loans being made.

(1) Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Prime Rate Loans of the Borrowers shall be prepaid before outstanding LIBO Loans are prepaid. Each partial prepayment of LIBO Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000. No prepayment of LIBO Loans shall be permitted other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the Borrowers simultaneously reimburse the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated therewith. In order to avoid such Breakage Costs, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall hold all amounts required to be applied to LIBO Loans in the Cash Collateral Account and will apply such funds to the applicable LIBO Loans at the end of the then pending Interest Period therefor (provided that the foregoing shall in no way limit or restrict the Agents’ rights upon the subsequent occurrence of an Event of Default). No partial prepayment of a Borrowing of LIBO Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the LIBO Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $1,000,000. A prepayment of the Loans pursuant to SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.15 shall not permanently reduce the Commitments.

(m) All amounts required to be applied to all Revolving Credit Loans hereunder (other than Swingline Loans) shall be applied ratably, applicable in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage. All credits against the Obligations shall be conditioned upon final payment to the Administrative Agent of the items giving rise to such credits and shall be subject to one Business Day’s clearance and collection. If any item credited to the Loan Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, whether or not

such return is rightful or timely, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to reverse such credit and charge the amount of such item to the Loan Account and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Credit Parties against all claims and losses resulting from such dishonor or return.

(n) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this SECTION 2.16 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this SECTION 2.16 shall control and govern.

SECTION 2.17 Fees.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter as and when payment of such fees is due as therein set forth.

(b) Each Lender shall be paid the Line Fee at the times and in the manner set forth below. The Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, a fee (the “Unused Fee”) equal to 0.375% per annum (on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days) of the average daily balance of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment, during the calendar month just ended (or relevant period with respect to the payment being made for the first month ending after the Closing Date or on the Termination Date). The Unused Fee shall be paid in arrears, on the first day of each month after the execution of this Agreement and on the Termination Date. If the Unused Fee actually paid by the Borrowers is insufficient to pay an amount equal to the Line Fee to the Revolving Credit Lenders, the deficiency shall be paid to the Revolving Credit Lenders by the Swingline Lender from its own funds (and the Borrowers shall have no liability with respect thereto). The Administrative Agent shall pay the Unused Fee (and any amounts payable by the Swingline Lender hereunder) to the Revolving Credit Lenders upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Unused Fee based upon their pro rata share of an amount equal to the aggregate Line Fee to all Revolving Credit Lenders; provided that for purposes of calculating the pro rata share of any Person which is both the Swingline Lender and a Revolving Credit Lender, such Person’s share shall be equal to the difference between (i) the sum of such Person’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (ii) the sum of (A) such Person’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding to the Borrowers (including the principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding), and (B) such Person’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the then Letter of Credit Outstandings.

(c) The Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the first day of each month, in arrears, a fee calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (each, a “Letter of Credit Fee”), equal to the following per annum percentages of the average face amount of the following categories of Letters of Credit outstanding during the three month period then ended:

(i) Standby Letters of Credit: At a per annum rate equal two percent (2.00%);

(ii) Commercial Letters of Credit: At a per annum rate equal to one and 50/100 percent (1.50%); and

(iii) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at any time that the Administrative Agent is not holding in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Outstandings as of such date, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, effective upon written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased, at the option of the Administrative Agent, by an amount equal to two percent (2%) per annum.

(d) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such other fees and charges in connection with the issuance, negotiation, settlement, amendment and processing of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank as are customarily imposed by the Issuing Bank from time to time in connection with letter of credit transactions.

(e) All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Administrative Agent and other Credit Parties as provided herein. Once due, all fees shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.18 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Account.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) which will reflect (i) all Swingline Loans and all Revolving Credit Loans and other advances made by the Revolving Credit Lenders to the Borrowers or for the Borrowers’ account, (ii) all Letter of Credit Disbursements, fees and interest that have become payable as herein set forth, and (iii) any and all other monetary Obligations that have become payable.

(b) The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers or from others for the Borrowers’ account, including all amounts received in the Concentration Account, and the amounts so credited shall be applied as set forth in SECTION 2.16 or SECTION 7.03, as applicable. After the end of each month, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Borrowers a statement accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions occurring among and between the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrowers during that month. The monthly statements shall, absent manifest error, be an account stated, which is final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

SECTION 2.19 Payments.

(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of

drawings under Letters of Credit, of amounts payable under SECTION 2.13, SECTION 2.14(c) or SECTION 2.21, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Boston time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to SECTION 2.13, SECTION 2.14(c), SECTION 2.21 and SECTION 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, except with respect to LIBO Borrowings, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, if any payment due with respect to LIBO Borrowings shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless that succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, in which event, the date of such payment shall be on the last Business Day of subject calendar month, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) All funds received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay principal, unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, interest and fees then due hereunder, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.16 or SECTION 7.03 hereof, as applicable, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, interest, and fees then due to such respective parties. Any net principal reductions to the Loans received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents during such period shall not reduce such actual amount so contributed, for purposes of calculation of interest due to that Lender, until the Administrative Agent has distributed to that Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder, that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the

Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.20 Settlement Amongst Revolving Credit Lenders

(a) Except as provided in SECTION 2.20(b), the Swingline Lender may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby authorize the Swingline Lender to act on their behalf in that regard) request the Administrative Agent to cause the Revolving Credit Lenders to make a Revolving Credit Loan (which shall be a Prime Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans made in accordance with SECTION 2.05, which request may be made regardless of whether the conditions set forth in ARTICLE IV have been satisfied. Upon such request, each Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan for the account of the Swingline Lender. If the Swingline Lender requires a Revolving Credit Loan to be made by the Revolving Credit Lender and the request therefor is received prior to 12:00 Noon, Boston time, on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m., Boston time, that day; and, if the request therefor is received after 12:00 Noon, Boston time, then no later than 3:00 p.m., Boston time, on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(b) The amount of each Lender’s Commitment Percentage of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (excluding Swingline Loans) shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward, as applicable, based on all Revolving Credit Loans (excluding Swingline Loans) and repayments of Revolving Credit Loans (excluding Swingline Loans) received by the Administrative Agent as of 3:00 p.m., Boston time, on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Revolving Credit Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (excluding Swingline Loans) for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, (i) the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Revolving Credit Lender its applicable Commitment Percentage of repayments, and (ii) each Revolving Credit Lender shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Revolving Credit Lender such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Revolving Credit Loans made by each Revolving Credit Lender with respect to Revolving Credit Loans (excluding Swingline Loans) shall be equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans (excluding Swingline Loans) outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders and is received prior to

12:00 Noon, Boston time, on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m., Boston time, that day; and, if received after 12:00 Noon, Boston time, then no later than 3:00 p.m., Boston time, on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

SECTION 2.21 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that if a Loan Party shall be required to deduct, or an Agent or a Lender shall be required to remit, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or remittances for Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.21) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this SECTION 2.21) and any penalties, interest and 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 Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in withholding tax shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or, in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from or reduction in U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a (i) Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto and (ii) if such Foreign Lender delivers a Form W-8BEN, a certificate representing that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, (B) is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Loan Party and (C) is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Loan Parties (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming, as applicable, complete exemption from or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption for “portfolio interest” certifying that it is not a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Foreign Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this SECTION 2.21(e), a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this SECTION 2.21(e) that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Foreign Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Foreign Lender in respect of U.S. Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Foreign Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (e) above. Should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall, at such Lender’s expense, take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) If any Loan Party shall be required pursuant to this SECTION 2.21 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Credit Party to the extent that such Credit Party becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if applicable, subsequent to the date such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of any change in the circumstances of such Credit Party (other than a change in Applicable Law), including without limitation a change in the residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business of such Credit Party or a change in the branch or lending office of such Credit Party, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this SECTION 2.21(g); provided, however, that such efforts shall not include the taking of any actions by such Credit Party that would result in any tax, costs or other expense to such Credit Party (other than a tax, cost or other expense for which such Credit Party shall have been reimbursed or indemnified by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) or any action which would or might in the reasonable

opinion of such Credit Party have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party.

(h) If any Credit Party reasonably determines that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by the Loan Parties pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under the Loan Documents, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained and that would result in the total payments under this SECTION 2.21 exceeding the amount needed to make such Credit Party whole, such Credit Party shall pay to the Lead Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date upon which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all out of pocket expenses incurred in securing such refund, deduction or credit.

SECTION 2.22 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.13, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.21, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans 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 2.13 or SECTION 2.21, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be liable for such costs and expenses of a Lender requesting compensation if (i) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement on a date after the Closing Date and (ii) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.21, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in SECTION 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, however, that (i) the Lead Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under SECTION 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to SECTION

2.21, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.23 Designation of Lead Borrowers as Borrowers’ Agent.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Administrative Agent and each Lender on account of Loans so made and Letters of Credit so issued as if made directly by the Lenders to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Loans and Letters of Credit are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower.

(b) Each Borrower represents to the Credit Parties that it is an integral part of a consolidated enterprise, and that each Loan Party will receive direct and indirect benefits from the availability of the joint credit facility provided for herein, and from the ability to access the collective credit resources of the consolidated enterprise which the Loan Parties comprise. Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers as if the Borrower which is so assuming and agreeing were each of the other Borrowers.

(c) The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a Borrower) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a Loan. None of the Agents nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds.

(d) The authority of the Lead Borrower to request Loans and Letters of Credit on behalf of, and to bind, the Borrowers, shall continue unless and until the Administrative Agent actually receives written notice of: (i) the termination of such authority, and (ii) the subsequent appointment of a successor Lead Borrower, which notice is signed by the respective Financial Officers of each Borrower; and (iii) written notice from such successive Lead Borrower accepting such appointment and acknowledging that from and after the date of such appointment, the newly appointed Lead Borrower shall be bound by the terms hereof, and that as used herein, the term “Lead Borrower” shall mean and include the newly appointed Lead Borrower.

SECTION 2.24 Security Interests in Collateral.

To secure their Obligations, the Borrowers shall grant to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Credit Parties, a first priority security interest in all of

the Collateral pursuant hereto and to the Security Documents, subject to Permitted Encumbrances.

Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by each Loan Party from its respective employees for all periods in material compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities.

SECTION 3.10 ERISA.

SECTION 3.11 Disclosure.

The Loan Parties have disclosed to the Credit Parties all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which any Loan Party is subject, and all other matters known to any of them that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to any Credit Party in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

There are no representation proceedings pending or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened to be filed with the National Labor Relations Board, and no labor organization or group of employees of any Loan Party has made a pending demand for recognition. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party is bound.

SECTION 3.15 Security Documents.

The Security Documents create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its own benefit and for the ratable benefit of the other Credit Parties, legal, valid and enforceable security or mortgage interests in the Collateral, and the Security Documents constitute, or will upon the filing of financing statements or other requisite registrations and/or the obtaining of “control”, in each case with respect to the relevant Collateral as required under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation of any jurisdiction, the creation of a fully perfected and opposable first priority Lien on, and security interest in, and hypothecation of, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties thereunder in such Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, except for Permitted Encumbrances having priority over the Lien of the Collateral Agent under Applicable Law.

By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) agrees to furnish the Administrative Agent on the first day of each month with a summary of all Other Liabilities due or to become due to such Lender;

(d) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Administrative Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel;

SECTION 8.15 Delinquent Lender.

(a) If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any Revolving Credit Loans, expenses or setoff or purchase its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a participation interest in the Swingline Loans (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the other Credit Parties, the Loan Parties or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Loan Parties, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Obligations until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages of all outstanding Obligations shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its Commitment Percentage of any Obligations, any participation obligation, or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in SECTION 2.11 hereof from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.

(b) The non-Delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to cause the termination and assignment, without any further action by the Delinquent Lender for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right), of the Delinquent Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment to fund future Revolving Credit Loans. Upon any such purchase of the Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any Delinquent Lender, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Revolving Credit Loans and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance.

(c) Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by the Administrative Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Revolving Credit Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers: Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by SECTION 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, modification or other agreement shall:

(B) except for Permitted Dispositions, release any material portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents;

(D) change the definition of the terms “Availability” or “Borrowing Base”, or any component definition thereof if, as a result thereof, the amounts available to be borrowed by the Borrowers would be increased, provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Administrative Agent to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves;

(E) release any Loan Party from its obligations under any Loan Document, or limit its liability in respect of such Loan Document;

(F) modify the definition of Permitted Overadvance so as to increase the amount thereof or, except as provided in such definition, the time period for a Permitted Overadvance;

(G) change SECTION 2.15, SECTION 2.16, or SECTION 7.03;

(H) subordinate the Obligations hereunder or the Liens granted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, to any other Indebtedness or Lien, as the case may be;

(I) change any of the provisions of this SECTION 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Credit Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder; or

(J) increase the Swingline Loan Ceiling.

(iv) Without prior written consent of the Agents or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the Agents or the Issuing Bank.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SECTION 9.02, in the event that the Lead Borrower shall request that this Agreement or any other Loan Document be modified, amended or waived in a manner which would require the consent of the Lenders pursuant to SECTION 9.02(b) and such amendment is approved by the Required Lenders, but not by the requisite percentage of all of the Lenders, the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to amend this Agreement without the consent of the Lender or Lenders which did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by the Lead Borrower (such Lender or Lenders, collectively the “Minority Lenders”) subject to their providing for (i) the termination of the Commitment of each of the Minority Lenders, (ii) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other financial institutions which would qualify as an Eligible Assignee, subject to the reasonable approval of the Administrative Agent, or an increase in the Commitment of one or more of the Required Lenders, so that the Commitments after giving effect to such amendment shall be in the same amount as the aggregate Commitments immediately before giving effect to such amendment, (iii) if any Loans are outstanding at the time of such amendment, the making of such additional Loans by such new or increasing Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full the outstanding Loans (including principal, interest, and fees) of the Minority Lenders immediately before giving effect to such amendment and (iv) such other modifications to this Agreement or the Loan Documents as may be appropriate and incidental to the foregoing.

(d) No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or consent authorized as provided herein, whether or not a Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment, modification, waiver or consent and any consent by a Lender, or any holder of a Note, shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note, whether or not a Note is so marked.

100

(b) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Credit Parties and each of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and advisors of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all damages, actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, actions, causes of action, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by, or asserted against, any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Credit Extension or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or (v) any documentary taxes, assessments or similar charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Affiliate of such Indemnitee (or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of such Indemnitee or any such Indemnitee’s Affiliates). In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel and the Loan Parties shall promptly pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

(c) No Loan Party shall assert and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Credit Extension or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d) The provisions of this SECTION 9.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of any Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Credit Party. All amounts due under this SECTION 9.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

101

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (and any such attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void) provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.04(a) shall be construed as preventing the transfer of the rights and obligations of the Lead Borrower and American Apparel, LLC in connection with the SPAC Transactions. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Indemnitees, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that no such consent shall be required in connection with any assignment to another Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender, and provided further that, each assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to an assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 with respect to the Commitments, or, if smaller, the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under all of the Loans; and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and, after completion of the syndication of the Loans, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000.00. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to SECTION 9.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this SECTION 9.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with SECTION 9.04(e). The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Loan Parties to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Credit Party” for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

102

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices in Braintree, Massachusetts, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Loan Parties and Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in SECTION 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by SECTION 9.04(a), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this SECTION 9.04(d).

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Loan Parties or any other Person, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it), subject to the following:

(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged;

(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

(iii) the Loan Parties and other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iv) any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation in the Commitments, the Loans and the Letters of Credit Outstandings shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided, however, 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 the proviso to SECTION 9.02(b)(ii) or SECTION 9.02(b)(iii)(A) that affects such Participant;

(v) subject to clauses (viii) and (ix) of this SECTION 9.04(e), the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.13

103

and SECTION 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to SECTION 9.04(b);

(vi) to the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.08 as though it were a Lender so long as such Participant agrees to be subject to SECTION 8.03 as though it were a Lender;

(vii) each Lender, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at its offices a record of each agreement or instrument effecting any participation and a register (each a “Participation Register”) meeting the requirements of 26 CFR §5f. 103 1(c) for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants and their rights with respect to principal amounts and other Obligations from time to time. The entries in each Participation Register shall be conclusive and the Loan Parties and the Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of entitlement to benefits under SECTION 2.13, SECTION 2.21, and SECTION 9.08). The Participation Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower and any Credit Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice;

(viii) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 2.13 or SECTION 2.21 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Lead Borrower’s prior written consent; and

(ix) a Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.21 unless the Lead Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with SECTION 2.21(e) as though it were a Lender and such Participant is eligible for exemption from the withholding Tax referred to therein, following compliance with SECTION 2.21(e).

(f) Any Credit Party may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Credit Party, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341, and this SECTION 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Credit Party from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Credit Party as a party hereto.

(g) The Loan Parties authorize each Credit Party to disclose to any Participant or assignee and any prospective Participant or assignee, subject to the provisions of SECTION 9.15, any and all financial information in such Credit Party’s possession concerning the Loan Parties which has been delivered to such Credit Party by or on behalf of

104

the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Loan Parties in connection with such Credit Party’s credit evaluation of the Loan Parties prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.05 Survival.

All covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other Obligation is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been irrevocably terminated. The provisions of SECTION 2.13, SECTION 2.21, SECTION 9.03 and ARTICLE VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties, may require such assurances and indemnities as it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against loss on account of such release and termination, including, without limitation, with respect to credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all contemporaneous or previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in SECTION 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the applicable Credit Parties and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining

105

provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party, each Participant, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Credit Party, Participant, or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Loan Parties against any of and all the obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or other Loan Document held by a Credit Party, irrespective of whether or not such Credit Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or other Loan Document and although such obligations may be matured or unmatured or otherwise fully secured. The Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender shall provide the Lead Borrower with written notice promptly after any exercise of the right of setoff. The rights of each Credit Party under this SECTION 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Credit Party may have, provided that the proceeds of any setoff shall be shared in accordance with SECTION 8.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Credit Party will, or will permit its Participant to, exercise its rights under this SECTION 9.08 without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY ANY CREDIT PARTY OF ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF UNDER THIS SECTION ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in SECTION 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY) AND WAIVES THE RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM IN RESPECT OF, AND ALL STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS WHICH MAY BE RELEVANT TO, SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING; AND WAIVES DUE DILIGENCE, DEMAND, PRESENTMENT AND PROTEST AND ANY NOTICES THEREOF AS WELL AS NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT.

Each Borrower consents to the publication by Administrative Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Borrower’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark.

SECTION 9.12 Headings.

Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under Applicable Law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final order to exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14 Additional Waivers.

(a) The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release of any Loan Party from, any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any other Credit Party.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Party to pay the Obligations in full hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that

108

may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document).

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full after the termination of Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. Pursuant to Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. Upon payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Revolving Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the

109

“Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Credit Party, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Credit Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Loan Party by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses that such Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate which means, among other things: (i) a Credit Party may collect from any Loan Party without first foreclosing on any Real Estate or personal property Collateral pledged by a Loan Party; (ii) if any Credit Party forecloses on any Real Estate pledged by any Loan Party, the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Real Estate is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Real Estate is worth more than the sale price; and (iii) the Credit Parties may collect Obligations from a Loan Party even if a Credit Party, by foreclosing on any such Real Estate, has destroyed any right any Loan Party may have to collect from the other Loan Parties. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Loan Party hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.

(f) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to keep each other Loan Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of its business, affairs, finances, and financial condition, and its ability to perform its Obligations, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect thereto. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to undertake to keep itself apprised at all times as to the status of the business, affairs, finances, and financial condition of each other Loan Party, and of the ability of each other Loan Party to perform its Obligations, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect to any thereof. Each Loan Party hereby agrees, in light of the foregoing mutual covenants to inform each other, and to keep themselves and each other informed as to such matters, that the Credit Parties shall have no duty to inform any Loan Party of any information pertaining to the business, affairs, finances, or financial condition of any other Loan Party, or pertaining to the ability of any other Loan Party to perform its Obligations, even if such information is adverse, and even if such information might influence the decision of one or more of the Loan Parties to continue to be jointly and severally liable for, or to provide Collateral for, Obligations of one or more of the other Loan Parties. To the

110

fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any duty of the Credit Parties to inform any Loan Party of any such information.

SECTION 9.15 Confidentiality.

Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other 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), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to the extent required by the Merger Agreement, (e) to any other party to this Agreement, (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and any actual or prospective counterparty or advisors to any swap or derivative transactions relating to the Loan Parties and the Obligations, (h) with the consent of the Loan Parties or (i) to the extent such Information (I) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (II) becomes available any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties. For the purposes of this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties relating to their business, other than any such information that is available to the Credit Parties on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties, provided that, in the case of information received from the Loan Parties after the date hereof, 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.

SECTION 9.16 Patriot Act.

Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title HI of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. Each Borrower is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

111

SECTION 9.17 Foreign Asset Control Regulations

Neither the advance of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)). Furthermore, none of the Borrowers or their Affiliates (a) is or will become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (b) engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person” or in any manner violative of any such order.

Form of Customs Broker Agreement

CUSTOMS BROKER AGENCY AGREEMENT

Name and Address of Customs Broker:

Dear Sir/Madam:

, a organized and existing under the laws of (the “Company”), among others, has entered into various financing agreements with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC, as Agent for LaSalle Bank Midwest National Association, acting through its division, LaSalle Retail Finance, with offices at 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for its own benefit and the benefit of certain other credit parties (the “Credit Parties”), pursuant to which the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties may from time to time make loans or furnish certain other financial accommodations to the Company. The Company’s obligations on account of such loans and financial accommodations are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company (the “Collateral”), including, without limitation, all of the Company’s inventory, goods, documents, bills of lading and other documents of title.

The Collateral Agent has requested that you (the “Customs Broker”) act as its agent for the limited purpose of more fully perfecting and protecting the interest of the Collateral Agent in such bills of lading, documents and other documents of title and in the goods and inventory for which such bills of lading, documents, or other documents of title have been issued, and the Customs Broker has agreed to do so. This letter shall set forth the terms of the Customs Broker’s engagement.

1. Appointment of Customs Broker as Agent of Collateral Agent: The Customs Broker is hereby appointed as agent for the Collateral Agent to receive and retain possession of all bills of lading and airway bills (collectively, the “Title Documents”) heretofore or at any time hereafter issued for any goods, inventory, or other property of the Company which are received by the Customs Broker for processing (collectively, the “Property”), such receipt and retention of possession being for the purpose of more fully perfecting and preserving the Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Title Documents and the Property. The Customs Broker will maintain possession of the Title Documents, subject to the security interest of the Collateral Agent, and will note the security interest of the Collateral Agent on the Customs Broker’s books and records.

2. Delivery of Title Documents; Release of Goods: Until the Customs Broker receives written notification from the Collateral Agent to the contrary, the Customs Broker is authorized by the Collateral Agent to, and the Customs Broker may, deliver:

(a) the Title Documents to the issuing carrier or to its agent (who shall act on the Customs Broker’s behalf as the Customs Broker’s sub-agent hereunder) for the purpose of permitting the Company, as consignee, to obtain possession or control of the Property subject to such Title Documents; and

(b) the Property, in each instance as directed by the Company.

3. Notice From Collateral Agent To Follow Collateral Agent’s Instructions:

Upon the Customs Broker’s receipt of written notification from the Collateral Agent, the Customs Broker shall thereafter follow solely the instructions of the Collateral Agent concerning the disposition of the Title Documents and the Property and will not follow any instructions of the Company or any other person concerning the same.

4. Limited Authority: The Customs Broker’s sole authority as the agent of the Collateral Agent is to receive and maintain possession of the Title Documents on behalf of the Collateral Agent and to follow the instructions of the Collateral Agent as provided herein. Except as may be specifically authorized and instructed by the Collateral Agent, the Customs Broker shall have no authority as the agent of the Collateral Agent to undertake any other action or to enter into any other commitments on behalf of the Collateral Agent.

5. Expenses: The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to compensate the Customs Broker for serving as agent hereunder, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for any fees, expenses, customs, duties, taxes, or other charges relating to the Title Documents or the Property. The Customs Broker acknowledges that the Company is solely responsible for payment of any compensation and charges which are to the Company’s account and for the payment of any fees, expenses, customs duties, taxes, or other charges which are, or may, accrue, to the account of the Property. The Collateral Agent, at its option, may authorize the Customs Broker to perform specified services on behalf of the Collateral Agent, at mutually agreed rates of compensation, which shall be to the Collateral Agent’s account and payable to the Customs Broker by the Collateral Agent (provided, however, such payment shall not affect any obligation of the Company to reimburse the Collateral Agent for any such compensation or other costs or expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the financing agreements referred to above).

6. Term:

(a) In the event that the Customs Broker desires to terminate this Agreement, the Customs Broker shall furnish the Collateral Agent with sixty (60) days prior written notice of the Customs Broker’s intention to do so. During such 60 day period (which may be shortened by notice to the Customs Broker from the Collateral Agent), the Customs Broker shall continue to serve as agent hereunder. The Customs Broker shall also cooperate with the Collateral Agent and execute all such documentation and undertake all such action as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Agent in connection with

such termination. Such notice shall be given to the following address (or to such other address, written notice of which is given the Customs Broker by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent):

If to the Collateral Agent:

(b) Except as provided in Section 6(a), above, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Customs Broker receives written notification from the Collateral Agent of the termination of the Customs Broker’s responsibilities hereunder.

7. Custom Broker’s Lien: The Customs Broker shall have a lien, to the extent provided by law, on any Property then in the possession of the Customs Broker, which lien shall be to the extent of any costs, fees, freight charges, storage charges, or other charges or expenses incurred or paid by the Customs Broker with respect only to that Property then in the possession of the Customs Broker, for which the Customs Broker has not received payment, but not for any amount owed on account of any other Property, item, or matter.
