All amounts chargeable to Borrower under this Section 2.5 shall be Obligations secured by the Collateral.

2.6 Maximum Interest. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby agree and stipulate that the only charges imposed upon Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement are and shall be the interest described in Section 2.4(a) and (b) and the original issue discount withheld on the advance of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders further agree and stipulate that all closing fees, facility fees, unused fees, underwriting fees, default charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, and reimbursement for Expenses paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender are charges to compensate Administrative Agent or such Lender for underwriting and administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money.

All interest paid or agreed to be paid shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the entire period from the Closing Date until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal

-13-

or extension thereof) so that the interest for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any interest is charged or received in excess of the maximum rate allowable under applicable law, Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first, to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and second, to pay any Expenses owing and the balance, if any, returned to Borrower, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or other illegal relationship. The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section 2.6 is referred to therein).

2.7 Notes; Record of the Obligations.

(b) Administrative Agent shall maintain a record of each advance of principal and each repayment of principal and interest on the Loans, and of all other Obligations which shall become due from, or is paid by, Borrower or any other Obligor pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Any failure of Administrative Agent to make an entry in its books and records, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the agreement of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. The entries made in Administrative Agent’s books and records shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information therein.

Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

9.6 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days prior notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders.

In the case of a retiring Administrative Agent, if no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right or setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Note held by it (whether by set-off, exercise of subrogation rights, exercise of guaranty rights, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Notes obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Notes held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other Lenders, provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Obligor agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 9.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Obligor in the amount of such participation. Each Lender shall give Administrative Agent written notice within five days of any payments or other recoveries described above.

9.8 Enforcement by Administrative Agent. All powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents or at law shall be instituted, maintained, pursued or enforced solely by Administrative Agent. Any suit or proceeding instituted by Administrative Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in Administrative Agent’s name without the necessity of joining any of the other Lenders. In any event, the recovery of any judgment by Administrative Agent shall be for the ratable benefit of all Lenders, subject to the reimbursement of Expenses of Administrative Agent, as provided in Section 8.4. Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral (other than by setoff in accordance with Section 9.7), it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral or other assets pursuant to a public or private sale or in any disposition in an Insolvency Proceeding, (i) Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and (ii) Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Majority Lenders agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or other disposition, to use and apply any or all of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price or other consideration for any Collateral or other assets payable by Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

9.9 Action Upon Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section 4, unless it has received written notice from Borrower or a Lender specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions, it shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action or exercise of rights or remedies, of any kind, in connection with the Obligations, the Collateral or the Loan Documents, accelerate Obligations, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral or to assert any rights relating to any Collateral.

9.10 Release of Collateral. Lenders authorize Administrative Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon payment in full of the Obligations (other than any indemnity obligation for unasserted claims that by its terms survive the termination of this Agreement), (b) that is the subject of a disposition permitted under this Agreement, (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (d) with the written consent of all the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an Obligor, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

-38-

9.11 Obligors Not Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 9, other than the Borrower’s notice right in Section 9.6, are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, may not be enforced by any Obligor, and may be modified or waived without any approval or consent of Borrower even though Borrower is a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 10. GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Accounting Terms. Unless otherwise specified herein, all terms of an accounting character used in this Agreement shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations under this Agreement shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with the most recent audited financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries delivered to Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date and using the same method for inventory valuation as used in such financial statements, except for any changes required by GAAP.

10.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent (and any of Administrative Agent’s officers, employees or agents designated by Administrative Agent), with full power of substitution, as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney, in Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s name, after and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) to endorse Borrower’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into the possession or Administrative Agent or any Lender; (b) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (c) to send requests for verification of Accounts, and to contact Account Debtors in any other manner to verify the Accounts; (d) to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrower’s mail to any address designated by Administrative Agent, to receive and open all mail addressed to Borrower, and to retain all mail relating to the Collateral; (e) to obtain, maintain and adjust any insurance required to be maintained by any Obligor and direct the payment of proceeds thereof to Administrative Agent; (f) to pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof, the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and each such payment made by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall become Obligations; (g) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to the Collateral as fully and completely as though Administrative Agent were the owner of such Collateral and take any other act deemed necessary or appropriate by Administrative Agent to protect, preserve, realize or enforce the rights of Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral; and (h) to do all other things necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document. The foregoing power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as any Obligations are outstanding (other than any indemnity obligation for unasserted claims that by its terms survive the termination of this Agreement). Borrower ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney taken pursuant to the terms of this Section. None of Administrative Agent, Lenders or any of their respective employees, officers or agents shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error in judgment or mistake of fact or law except for gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

-39-

10.3 Notices and Communications. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and mailed, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier or delivered to the address or, subject to the last sentence hereof, electronic mail address, specified on Schedule 10.3 hereto or to such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. All such other notices and other communications shall be deemed to have been given or made upon the earliest to occur of (a) actual receipt by the intended recipient or (b)(i) if delivered by hand or courier, when signed for by the designated recipient; (ii) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business Days after deposit in the mail, postage prepaid; (iii) if delivered by a nationally recognized overnight courier, one (1) Business Day after the date on which such notice or communication is deposited with such overnight courier, and (iv) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of the last sentence below), when delivered; provided, however, that notices and other communications pursuant to Section 2 shall not be effective until actually received by Lender. Electronic mail and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information, including the notices required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.2, and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose.

10.4 Performance of Borrower’s Obligations. If any Obligor shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time, for Borrower’s account and at Borrower’s expense, pay any amount or do any act required of any Obligor hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Administrative Agent. All costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the taking of any such action shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Borrower within three (3) Business Days of demand with interest at the rate in effect for Loans from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof. Any payment made or other action taken by Administrative Agent under this Section 10.5 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, an Event of Default hereunder and without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s right to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.

10.5 Further Assurances. Borrower agrees to take such further actions as Administrative Agent or any Lender shall reasonably request from time to time in connection herewith to evidence, give effect to or carry out this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Promptly after Administrative Agent’s request therefor, Borrower shall execute or cause to be executed and delivered to Administrative Agent such instruments, assignments, title certificates or other documents as are necessary or desirable under the UCC or other applicable law to protect or perfect Administrative Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral.

10.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties, provided, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. Administrative Agent or any Lender may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, or any right or remedy under, the Obligations and the Loan Documents; provided, however, that if no Event of Default exists, Lenders will not, except if consented to by Borrower, assign or grant participations in the Loans to any direct competitor of Borrower in the retail clothing business or to vulture or distressed debt funds (such determination of fact to be determined by such Lender in its sole discretion). In the event of any assignment by a Lender, Borrower will upon request by Agent execute and deliver a new Note in favor of such new Lender in the principal amount of the Loan purchased by such new Lender and, if the assignment is for less than the outstanding principal Loan amount held by the assigning Lender, a new Note in favor of the assigning Lender in the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Note held by the assigning Lender, whereupon Agent will return the replaced original Note to Borrower.

-40-

10.7 Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the Indemnitees against and to hold the Indemnitees harmless from any Indemnified Claim that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees; provided that any legal fees and expenses that shall be reimbursed shall be limited to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction and solely in the case of an actual conflict of interest between Indemnitees where the Indemnitees affected by such conflict inform the Borrower of such conflict, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction material to the interest of the Lenders to each group of affected Indemnitees taken as a whole. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any Indemnified Claims instituted or asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees under any Environmental Laws. Additionally, if any Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed upon or measured by the net income of Administrative Agent or Lenders, Taxes imposed as the result of the failure of Administrative Agent or Lenders to deliver an IRS Form W-9 certifying an exemption from withholding or Taxes arising from a connection to a taxing jurisdiction other than in relation to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Obligations), including any intangibles tax, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax shall be payable by Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Obligor on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Borrower shall pay (or shall promptly reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender for the payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnities shall not apply to (a) Indemnified Claims incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, (b) Indemnified Claims brought by the Borrower or any other Obligor against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Obligor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (c) result from the presence, release or threat of release of Hazardous Materials or violations of Environmental Laws first occurring or first existing after completion of the foreclosure upon the Collateral, granting of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Collateral or similar transfer of title or possession of the Collateral, unless such presence, release or violation is actually caused by any Obligor thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, the obligations of Borrower and each other Obligor with respect to each indemnity given by it in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in favor of Administrative Agent and each Lender shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

10.8 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive the making of any extension of credit hereunder and the delivery of any Note and shall continue in full force and effect until the full and final payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of the Loan Documents, in each case subject to the applicable statute of limitations.

10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under applicable law. If any provision is found to be invalid under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

10.10 Indulgences Not Waivers. The failure by Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time or times to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or otherwise diminish any right of Administrative Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance with such provision.

-41-

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements, and certificates executed by the parties in connection therewith or with reference thereto, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written.

(b) This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Administrative Agent reserves the right to bring proceedings against any Obligor in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed or operate to affect the right of Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to preclude the enforcement by Administrative Agent of any judgment or order obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to enforce same in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction.

10.13 Waiver of Jury Trial and Other Rights.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto each hereby waive the right to trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim, cross-claim or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Obligations or the Collateral or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party with respect thereto.

10.14 Additional Waivers. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. Any waiver or indulgence granted by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or indulgence, or constitute a course of dealing by Administrative Agent or any Lender at variance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document such as to require further notice by Administrative Agent or any Lender of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s intent to require strict adherence to the terms of such Loan Document in the future. No such actions shall in any way affect the ability of Administrative Agent to exercise any rights available to it under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under applicable law.

10.17 Additional Provisions. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(i) reduce the principal amount of any Loan;

(ii) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Note or Loan;

(iii) waive, reduce or postpone any mandatory prepayment;

(iv) reduce the rate of interest on the Loans; provided, however, that only the consent of the Majority Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(v) extend the time for payment of interest;

(vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section;

(vii) amend the definition of “Majority Lenders”;

(viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents; or
