(d) Merchant shall take all actions necessary to designate Agent as an authorized signer on all Designated Deposit Accounts and to grant Agent the ability to initiate wire transfers from such Designated Deposit Accounts, provided that Purchaser’s interest in the Designated Deposit Accounts shall be subject to Agent’s obligation to pay Expenses and fund the Wind-Down Payment.

19

Case 18-10248-MFW Doc 632-1 Filed 04/18/18 Page 21 of 60

shall not warrant the Merchandise in any manner, but will, to the extent legally permissible, pass on all manufacturers’ warranties to customers.  All sales will be made only for cash or nationally recognized bank credit cards.   Upon entry of the Approval Order, Agent shall not accept or honor coupons during the Sale Term.  The Agent shall clearly xxxx all receipts for the Merchandise sold at the Stores during the Sale Term so as to distinguish such Merchandise from the goods sold prior to the Sale Commencement Date.  Unless otherwise agreed between Agent and the issuer of Merchant’s private-label credit cards (“PLCCs”), Agent shall not accept PLCCs as a form of payment during the Sale.

8.3 Sales Taxes.

(a) During the Sale Term, all sales, excise, gross receipts and other taxes attributable to sales of Merchandise and Additional Agent Merchandise, as indicated on Merchant’s point of sale equipment (other than taxes on income) payable to any taxing authority having jurisdiction (collectively, “Sales Taxes”) shall be added to the sales price of Merchandise and Additional Agent Merchandise and collected by Agent, on Merchant’s behalf, at the time of sale.  All Sales Taxes shall be deposited into a segregated account designated by Merchant and Agent solely for the deposit of such Sales Taxes (the “Sales Taxes Account”).  Merchant shall prepare and file all applicable reports and documents required by the applicable taxing authorities, and Merchant shall promptly pay all Sales Taxes from the Sales Taxes Account.  Merchant will be given access to the computation of gross receipts for verification of all such tax collections.  Provided that Agent performs its responsibilities in accordance with this Section 8.3, Agent shall have no further obligation to Merchant, any taxing authority, or any other party, and Merchant shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent from and against any and all costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, assessments, fines or penalties which Agent sustains or incurs as a result or consequence of the failure by Merchant to promptly pay such taxes to the proper taxing authorities and/or the failure by Merchant to promptly file with such taxing authorities all reports and other documents required by applicable law to be filed with or delivered to such taxing authorities.  If Agent fails to perform its responsibilities in accordance with this Section 8.3, and provided Merchant complies with its obligations hereunder, Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless Merchant from and against any and all costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, assessments, fines or penalties which Merchant sustains or incurs as a result or consequence of the failure by Agent to collect Sales Taxes and/or the failure by Agent to promptly deliver any and all reports and other documents required to enable Merchant to file any requisite returns with such taxing authorities.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.3(a) hereof, it is hereby agreed that, as Agent is conducting the GOB Sale solely as agent for Merchant, various payments that this Agreement contemplates that one party may make to the other party (including the payment by Agent of the Guaranteed Amount) do not represent the sale of tangible personal property and, accordingly, are not subject to Sales Taxes.

8.4 Supplies.  Agent shall have the right to use, without charge, all existing supplies located at the Stores, Distribution Centers and corporate office(s), including, without limitation, boxes, bags, paper, twine and similar sales materials (collectively, “Supplies”).  In the event that additional Supplies are required in any of the Stores during the GOB Sale, Merchant agrees to

promptly provide the same to Agent, if available, for which Agent shall reimburse Merchant at Merchant’s cost therefor.

8.5 Returns of Merchandise.  Agent shall accept returns of goods sold by Merchant prior to the Closing for a period of ten days from and including the Sale Commencement Date.  Thereafter, Agent shall have no obligation to accept returns of goods sold by Merchant prior to the Closing.  Agent’s acceptance of returns shall not impact the Wind-Down Budget or the Wind-Down Cap.

8.6 Gift Certificates & Credits.  Agent shall accept Merchant’s gift certificates, gift cards, store credits, return credits, or similar merchandise credits issued by Merchant (collectively, “Gift Certificates”) for a period of ten days from and including the Sale Commencement Date.  Thereafter, Agent shall have no obligation to accept Gift Certificates.  Agent’s acceptance of Gift Certificates shall not impact the Wind-Down Budget or the Wind-Down Cap.

8.7 Right to Monitor.  Merchant shall have the right to monitor the GOB Sale and activities attendant thereto and to be present in the Stores during the hours when the Stores are open for business; provided that Merchant’s presence does not unreasonably disrupt the conduct of the Sale.  Merchant shall also have a right of access to the Stores at any time in the event of an emergency situation and shall promptly notify Agent of such emergency.

8.8 Sale Reconciliation.  On each Wednesday during the Sale Term, Agent and Merchant shall cooperate to reconcile Expenses, make payments/setoffs on account of the GOB Sale Proceeds and reconcile such other GOB Sale-related items as either party shall reasonably request, in each case for the prior week or partial week (i.e. Sunday through Saturday), all pursuant to procedures agreed upon by Merchant and Agent (the “Weekly Sale Reconciliation”).  Within thirty (30) days after the end of the Sale Term, or as soon as practicable thereafter, Agent and Merchant shall complete a final reconciliation of the Sale (the “Final Reconciliation”), the written results of which shall be certified by representatives of each of the Merchant and Purchaser as a final settlement of accounts between the Merchant and Purchaser with respect to the GOB Sale.  Within five (5) days after the completion of the Final Reconciliation and execution of a settlement letter including an appropriate mutual release for the benefit of Merchant and Purchaser, Agent shall pay to Merchant, or Merchant shall pay to Agent, as the case may be, any and all amounts due the other pursuant to the Final Reconciliation.  The Approval Order shall provide that the Final Reconciliation, once agreed to by Merchant and Purchaser, shall be automatically deemed approved pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 105(a) and Rule 9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or action by any party.  During the Sale Term, and thereafter until all of Merchant’s and Purchaser’s and Agent’s obligations under this Agreement have been satisfied, Merchant and Purchaser shall have reasonable access to Merchant’s and Purchaser’s records with respect to the GOB Sale (including, but not limited to Merchandise, GOB Sale Proceeds, and Expenses) to review and audit such records.

Agent is hereby, and shall be through the Approval Order, granted a first priority security interest in (i) the Additional Agent Merchandise and (ii) the Additional Agent Merchandise Proceeds, which security interest shall be deemed perfected pursuant to the Approval Order without the requirement of filing UCC financing statements or providing notifications to any prior secured parties (provided that Agent is hereby authorized to deliver any notices and file any financing statements and amendments thereof under the applicable UCC identifying Agent’s interest in the Additional Agent Merchandise and any proceeds from the sale thereof as consigned goods thereunder and Merchant as the consignee therefor, and Agent’s security interest in such Additional Agent Merchandise and Additional Agent Merchandise proceeds.

(d) Agent shall provide signage in the Stores notifying customers that the Additional Agent Merchandise has been included in the Sale.

8.10 E-Commerce Platform.  Subject to the Wind-Down Budget and payment of Expenses, Agent shall use the E-Commerce Platform in connection with the GOB Sale to fulfill customer orders made during the GOB Sale Term and otherwise promote the GOB Sale (in Agent’s capacity as Agent hereunder), provided that Agent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to terminate the use of the E-Commerce Platform at any time after four weeks of use.  During the use of the E-Commerce Platform, and consistent with the Wind-Down Budget (i) Merchant shall continue to provide for the operation and maintenance of the E-Commerce Platform, including information technology and E-Commerce Platform updates, and provide Agent with all assistance with respect to the functionality of the E-Commerce Platform, fulfillment of orders, and promotion of the GOB Sale and (ii) Agent shall pay as an Expense those amounts reflected in Section 4.1(p) through and including the date that is seven (7) days after Agent provides Merchant with notice of Agent’s intention to discontinue using the E-Commerce Platform as a sales platform to fulfill customer orders (the “LDOB Date”); provided, however, that, if Agent continues the Sale at the Stores after the LDOB Date, Merchant shall, as a Central Service and at no cost or expense to Agent (other than as provided in the Wind-Down Budget), maintain the E-Commerce Platform with limited functionality for the limited purposes

of advertising and promoting the Sale at the Stores, periodically updating such advertising and promotions, and maintaining and updating the Store locator function at no cost or expense to Agent.  With respect to the E-Commerce Platform, (i) Agent shall be authorized to sell Additional Agent Goods through the E-Commerce Platform and (ii) the Parties may implement such other processes, procedures, and agreements as may be necessary or appropriate for the efficient and continued operation of the E-Commerce Platform.  In the event Agent elects to discontinue using the E-Commerce Platform as a sales platform to fulfill customer orders, Merchant agrees that neither Merchant nor any other person or entity shall complete any sale of goods for Merchant’s or any other person’s or entity’s account utilizing the E-Commerce Platform during the GOB Sale Term, Merchant shall otherwise comply with Merchant’s obligations under this Agreement in respect of the E-Commerce Platform, and Merchant shall, as a Central Service and at no cost or expense to Agent (other than as provided in the Wind-Down Budget), maintain the E-Commerce Platform with limited functionality for the limited purposes of advertising and promoting the GOB Sale at the Stores, periodically updating such advertising and promotions, and maintaining and updating the Store locator function.  As part of the Allocation Schedule, Merchant and Agent shall mutually agree upon an allocation of certain On-line Merchandise to be promptly delivered to the Stores and not sold through the E-Commerce Platform (the “Designated On-line Merchandise”).  In the event Agent ceases using the E-Commerce Platform as a sales platform prior to the Sale Termination Date, Merchant shall be responsible for processing and ticketing all Merchandise not sold through the E-Commerce Platform for sale in the Stores and delivering any remaining On-line Merchandise (the “Remaining On-line Merchandise”) to the Stores according to a mutually agreed upon allocation schedule.

or other extraordinary payments to, any Store or Distribution Center employees prior to the Sale Termination Date.  Merchant shall not transfer any employee in anticipation of the Sale nor any Retained Employee during the Sale Term, in each case without Agent’s prior consent.  To the extent reasonably requested by Agent, and at Agent’s expense, Merchant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to hire additional temporary employees to facilitate the GOB Sale, which employees shall constitute Retained Employees for purposes of this Agreement.

9.2 Termination of Employees.  Agent may in its discretion stop using any Retained Employee at any time during the Sale, subject to the conditions provided for herein.  In the event that Agent desires to cease using any Retained Employee, Agent shall notify Merchant at least seven (7) days prior thereto; provided, however, that, in the event that Agent determines to cease using an employee “for cause” (such as dishonesty, fraud or breach of employee duties), the seven (7) day notice period shall not apply; provided, further, however, that Agent shall immediately notify Merchant of the basis for such “cause.”  From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Sale Termination Date, Merchant shall not transfer or dismiss employees of the Stores or Distribution Centers except “for cause” without Agent’s prior consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not have the right to terminate the actual employment of any employee, but rather may only cease using such employee in the Sale and paying any Expenses with respect to such employee (and all decisions relating to the termination or non-termination of such employees shall at all times rest solely with Merchant).

9.3 Payroll Matters.  During the Sale Term, Merchant shall process the payroll for all Retained Employees and any former employees and temporary labor engaged for the Sale.  Each Wednesday (or such other date as may be reasonably requested by Merchant to permit the funding of the payroll accounts before such payroll is due and payable) during the Sale Term, Agent shall transfer to Merchant’s payroll accounts an amount equal to the base payroll for Retained Employees plus related payroll taxes, workers’ compensation and benefits for such week, to the extent such amount constitutes Expenses hereunder.

9.4 Employee Retention Bonuses.  Subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, Agent may pay, as an Expense, retention bonuses and/or severance pay (“Retention Bonuses”) (which bonuses shall be inclusive of payroll taxes, but as to which no benefits shall be payable), up to a maximum of $7,400,000 in the aggregate, to such Retained Employees who do not voluntarily leave employment, are not otherwise entitled to receive severance pay, and are not terminated “for cause,” as Agent may determine in its discretion.  Subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of such Retention Bonuses shall be in an amount to be determined by Agent, in its discretion, and shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the Sale Termination Date, and shall be processed through Merchant’s payroll system.

(i) Subject to the Wind-Down Budget, Merchant shall, throughout the Sale Term, maintain in good working order, condition, and repair all cash registers, heating systems, air conditioning systems, elevators, escalators and all other mechanical devices necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Sale at the Stores.  Except as otherwise restricted by the Bankruptcy Code upon filing of the Bankruptcy Case or the Wind-Down Budget, and absent a bona fide dispute, throughout the Sale Term, Merchant shall remain current on all expenses and payables necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the GOB Sale.

(j) Subject the Wind-Down Budget, payment of Expenses by Agent, and approval by the Bankruptcy Court, Merchant has paid, and will continue to pay throughout the Sale Term, all self-insured or Merchant-funded employee benefit programs for Store employees, including health and medical benefits and insurance and all proper claims made or to be made in accordance with such programs.

12.2 Merchant’s Casualty Insurance.  Until the Designation Rights Termination Date or as otherwise directed by Purchaser or set forth in this Agreement, Merchant shall continue to maintain, subject to the Wind-Down Budget and the Wind-Down Cap, all of its presently existing property casualty coverage related to the Assets (including but not limited to fire, flood, wind, hail, natural disaster, theft, and extended coverage casualty insurance) until the sale or other disposition of all Assets covered by such policies.  From and after the date of this Agreement, all such policies will also name Purchaser as an additional named insured or loss payee, as applicable (as its interest may appear).  In the event of a loss to the Assets on or after the date of this Agreement, all proceeds of such insurance shall constitute Proceeds hereunder.  Merchant shall deliver to Purchaser certificates evidencing such insurance, setting forth the duration thereof and naming Purchaser as an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.  All such policies shall require at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Purchaser of cancellation, non-renewal or material change.  Merchant shall not make any change in the amount of any deductibles or self-insurance amounts on or after the date of this Agreement without Purchaser’s prior written consent.  Upon the sale, conveyance, or other disposition of any Asset specifically identified in any of Merchant’s casualty insurance policies, Merchant, if reasonably requested by Purchaser, shall cancel the casualty coverage specifically applicable to such Asset.

(a) Upon the occurrence of the Closing, and solely to the extent that any Assets or Proceeds are, notwithstanding the Approval Order, subsequently determined to constitute property of Merchant’s estate, Purchaser shall have a senior lien on all Assets and Proceeds, which lien shall be deemed by the Approval Order to be automatically perfected.  The Approval Order shall grant Purchaser relief from the automatic stay, and nothing in the Approval Order shall inhibit Purchaser’s ability, to take any action Purchaser deems appropriate to perfect such lien.

(b) Upon the occurrence of the Closing and until all Assets have been sold or otherwise disposed of, and solely to the extent that any Assets or Proceeds are, notwithstanding the Approval Order, subsequently determined to constitute property of Merchant’s estate, Purchaser shall have a superpriority administrative expense claim against Merchant to the extent of any amounts owing from Merchant to Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, including as a result of any breach of this Agreement.

assignees of (which may in certain circumstances be Purchaser, any of the entities comprising Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates, and/or a new entity created by any of the foregoing), any or all of the Assets free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances thereon, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court (the “Asset Designation Rights”).  Subject to Agent’s payment obligations hereunder, Agent is authorized to execute, in the name of and as agent for Merchant, any and all deeds, bills of sale, and other instruments or documents necessary to effectuate the sale, transfer, or other conveyance of any of the Assets.

15.5 No Waiver.  No consent or waiver by any Party, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by the other in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such other Party of the same or any other obligation of such Party.  Failure on the part of any Party to complain of any act or failure to act by the other Party or to declare the other Party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights hereunder.

15.6 Currency.  All reference to dollars in this Agreement and all schedules, exhibits, and ancillary documents related to this Agreement shall refer to U.S. dollars.

15.7 Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, including, but not limited to, any chapter 11 or chapter 7 trustee; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other, provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, GA and Tiger may each collaterally assign this Agreement and their rights thereunder to their respective lenders.

15.8 Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts.  Each such counterpart shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  This Agreement, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, electronic mail, or other electronic transmission in which the actual signature is evident, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.  At the request of any Party, each other Party shall re-execute original forms hereof and deliver them to all other Parties.  No Party shall raise the use of a facsimile machine, electronic mail, or other electronic transmission in which the actual signature is evident to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine, electronic mail or other electronic transmission in which the actual signature is evident as a defense to the formation of a contract and each Party forever waives such defense.  In proving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the Party against which enforcement is sought.

15.9 Section Headings.  The headings of sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be considered for the purpose of determining the meaning or legal effect of any provisions hereof.

Case 18-10248-MFW Doc 632-1 Filed 04/18/18 Page 58 of 60

EXHIBIT 8.1

SALE GUIDELINES

A.          The Sale shall be conducted so that the Stores in which sales are to occur will remain open no longer than during the normal hours of operation provided for in the respective leases for the Stores.

B.          The Sale shall be conducted in accordance with applicable state and local “Blue Laws”, where applicable, so that no Sale shall be conducted on Sunday unless the Merchant had been operating such Store on a Sunday.

C.          On “shopping center” property, Agent shall not distribute handbills, leaflets or other written materials to customers outside of any Stores’ premises, unless permitted by the lease or, if distribution is customary in the “shopping center” in which such Store is located; provided that Agent may solicit customers in the Stores themselves. On “shopping center” property, Agent shall not use any flashing lights or amplified sound to advertise the Sale or solicit customers, except as permitted under the applicable lease or agreed to by the landlord.

D.          At the conclusion of the Sale or the Designation Rights Period, as applicable, Agent shall vacate the Stores in broom clean condition; provided that Agent may abandon any FF&E not sold in the Sale at the Stores, the Distribution Centers, the Headquarters, or Merchant’s other corporate offices at the conclusion of the Sale or the Designation Rights Period, as applicable, without cost or liability of any kind to Agent. Any abandoned FF&E left in a Store or Distribution Center, the Headquarters, or Merchant’s other corporate offices after a lease is rejected shall be deemed abandoned to the landlord having a right to dispose of the same as the landlord chooses without any liability whatsoever on the part of the landlord to any party and without waiver of any damage claims against the Merchant. For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Sale Termination Date or termination of the Designation Rights Period, as applicable, Agent may abandon, in place and without further responsibility or liability of any kind, any FF&E located at a Store or, Distribution Center, the Headquarters, or Merchant’s other corporate offices.

E.          Following, and subject to, the entry of the Approval Order, Agent may advertise the Sale as a “store closing”, “sale on everything”, “everything must go” or similar-themed sale, as dictated by the Approval Order.

F.          Agent shall be permitted to utilize display, hanging signs, and interior banners in connection with the Sale; provided, however, that such display, hanging signs, and interior banners shall be professionally produced and hung in a professional manner. The Merchant and Agent shall not use neon or day-glo on its display, hanging signs, or interior banners. Furthermore, with respect to enclosed mall locations, no exterior signs or signs in common areas of a mall shall be used unless otherwise expressly permitted in these Sale Guidelines. In addition, the Merchant and Agent shall be permitted to utilize exterior banners at (i) non-enclosed mall Stores and (ii) enclosed mall Stores to the extent the entrance to the applicable Store does not require entry into the enclosed mall common area; provided, however, that such banners shall be located or hung so as to make clear that the Sale is being conducted only at the affected Store, shall not be wider than the storefront of the Store, and shall not be larger than 4 feet x 40 feet. In addition, the Merchant and Agent shall be permitted to utilize sign walkers in a safe and professional manner and in accordance with the terms of the Approval Order. Nothing contained in these Sale Guidelines shall be construed to create or impose upon Agent any additional restrictions not contained in the applicable lease agreement.

Case 18-10248-MFW Doc 632-1 Filed 04/18/18 Page 59 of 60

F.          Conspicuous signs shall be posted in the cash register areas of each of the affected Stores to effect that “all sales are final.”

G.          Except with respect to the hanging of exterior banners, Agent shall not make any alterations to the storefront or exterior walls of any Stores.

H.          Agent shall not make any alterations to interior or exterior Store lighting. No property of the landlord of a Store shall be removed or sold during the Sale. The hanging of exterior banners or in- Store signage and banners shall not constitute an alteration to a Store.

I.          Agent shall keep Store premises and surrounding areas clear and orderly consistent  with present practices.

J.          Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, Agent shall have the right to sell all Owned FF&E at the Closing Stores and the Distribution Centers, the Headquarters and (subject to any side letter between JV Agent and Purchaser, which shall not in any way affect Merchant’s rights under the Agreement) and Purchaser shall have the right to sell all Owned FF&E at the Designation Rights Stores and the Nebraska Distribution Center.  JV Agent may advertise the sale of the Owned FF&E in a manner consistent with these guidelines at the Closing Stores and the Indiana Distribution Center and Purchaser may advertise the sale of the Owned FF&E in a manner consistent with these guidelines at the Designation Rights Stores and the Nebraska Distribution Center. The purchasers of any Owned FF&E sold during the sale shall be permitted to remove the Owned FF&E either through the back shipping areas at any time, or through other areas after applicable business hours. For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Sale Termination Date or the termination of the Designation Rights Period, as applicable, Agent may abandon, in place and without further responsibility, any FF&E at the Stores, the Distribution Centers, the Headquarters, and Merchant’s other corporate offices.

K.          Agent shall be entitled to include Additional Agent Merchandise in the Sale in accordance with the terms of the Approval Order and the Agreement.

L.          At the conclusion of the Sale at each Store, pending assumption or rejection of applicable leases, the landlords of the Stores shall have reasonable access to the Stores’ premises as set forth in the applicable leases. The Merchant, Agent and their agents and representatives shall continue to have access to the Stores as provided for in the Agreement.

M.          Post-petition rents shall be paid by the Merchant as required by the Bankruptcy Code until the rejection or assumption and assignment of each lease. Agent shall have no responsibility to the landlords therefor.

N.          The rights of landlords against Merchant for any damages to a Store shall be reserved in accordance with the provisions of the applicable lease.

O.          If and to the extent that the landlord of any Store affected hereby contends that Agent or Merchant is in breach of or default under these Sale Guidelines, such landlord shall email or deliver written notice by overnight delivery on the Merchant, JV Agent and Purchaser as follows:
