For the avoidance of doubt, the Permitted Central American Debt constitutes Permitted Foreign Debt hereunder but the Permitted First Amendment Honduran Debt does not constitute Permitted Foreign Debt hereunder.
"Permitted Trademark Financing Debt" shall mean Indebtedness incurred by one or more Borrowers at any time after the Closing Date with respect to a credit facility in an aggregate principal amount acceptable to Agent; provided that (a) such Indebtedness is unsecured by any stock or assets of any Borrower or Obligor other than certain or all of the trademarks of Borrowers, (b) the secured party holding any Lien securing such Indebtedness (and its successors and assigns), if required by Agent, is a party with Agent to an intercreditor agreement that is in all respects acceptable to Agent, and specifically in which Agent is given the unqualified right, vis-à-vis such secured party (and its successors and assigns), to enforce Agent's security interests and Liens with respect to and to dispose of a Borrower's Inventory with the benefit of any trademarks applicable thereto, irrespective of such Borrower's default under any financing agreements or other documents with such secured party, (c) any subsequent purchaser or licensor of the trademarks (from either a Borrower or any other Person), if required by Agent, is a party to an intercreditor agreement or other agreement that is in all respects acceptable to Agent, and specifically in which Agent is given the unqualified right, vis-à-vis such purchaser or licensor (and its successors and assigns), to enforce Agent's security interests and Liens with respect to and to dispose of a Borrower's Inventory with the benefit of any trademarks applicable thereto, irrespective of such Borrower's default under any agreements or other documents with such purchaser or licensor, (d) such Indebtedness matures on a date not earlier than six (6) months after the last day of the Credit Facility and does not include any amortization payments, (e) such Indebtedness accrues interest at a rate determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (or applicable governing authority) of the applicable Borrower to be a market rate of interest for such Indebtedness at the time of issuance thereof, (f) at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is permitted under the Material Contracts as in effect on the date hereof without the need to obtain any waivers thereunder, (g) if such Indebtedness is to be secured by a trademark of any Borrower that was included as an Eligible Trademark on the most recent report detailing the calculation of the Tranche A Borrowing Base delivered prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, Agent shall have received an updated report that excludes such trademark from Eligible Trademarks, (h) at the time of and after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, no Event of Default exists, and (i) such Indebtedness is otherwise on terms and conditions satisfactory to Agent, acting reasonably.

To the extent Agent may revise the lending formulas used to determine either the Tranche A Borrowing Base or the Tranche B Borrowing Base or establish new criteria or revise existing criteria for Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory so as to address any circumstances, condition, event or contingency in an manner satisfactory to Agent, Agent shall not establish a Reserve for the same purpose.

If, at any time prior to the Tranche B Maturity Date that Tranche A Loans are outstanding, the amount of Tranche B Loans outstanding is less than the Tranche B Maximum Amount, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested Tranche B Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of such shortfall and the amount of Tranche A Loans then outstanding, the proceeds of such Tranche B Loans to be used to repay Tranche A Loans in an amount equal to such shortfall or the amount of Tranche A Loans then outstanding, as applicable.

EXHIBIT B
PRICING GRID
For the period after the Closing Date until Borrowers deliver the financial statements and compliance certificate required by Section 9.6 of the Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011, the applicable margin for Base Rate Tranche A Loans will be 0.75% and the applicable margin for LIBOR Rate Tranche A Loans will be 1.75%. Thereafter, the applicable margin will be increased or decreased on a quarterly basis, based upon the following pricing grid:
Tranche A Loans | Tranche B Loans | ||||
Level | When Average Alternate Excess Availability is: | Applicable Base Rate Margin | Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin | Applicable Base Rate Margin | Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin |
I | < 20.0% of the Commitments | 1.25% | 2.25% | 2.75% | 3.75% |
II | ≥ 20.0% of the Commitments but < 50.0% of the Commitments | 1% | 2% | 2.75% | 3.75% |
III | ≥ 50% of the Commitments | 0.75% | 1.75% | 2.75% | 3.75% |
At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the applicable margin shall be adjusted immediately to the margin applicable for Level I.
The term "Average Alternate Excess Availability" shall mean, at any time, the average of the aggregate amount of the Alternate Excess Availability of Borrowers, as calculated by Agent, for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter.
The applicable margin shall be calculated and established once each fiscal quarter, effective as of the first day of the fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter with respect to which Agent has received the required financial statements and compliance certificate, and shall remain in effect until adjusted thereafter as of the first day of a subsequent fiscal quarter.
In the event that any financial statement or compliance certificate delivered by Borrowers for any period is shown to be inaccurate (whether such inaccuracy is discovered at any time during the effectiveness of the Credit Facility or up to six months thereafter), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher applicable margin for any period than the applicable margin applied for such period, then (i) Borrowers shall immediately deliver to Agent a correct compliance certificate for such period, (ii) the applicable margin for such period shall be deemed to be the applicable margin that would have been in effect for such period had the financial statement or compliance certificate delivered by Borrowers not contained the inaccuracy, and (iii) Borrowers shall immediately pay to Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased applicable margin for such period. Neither the recalculation of the applicable margin for such a period, nor the payment by Borrowers of the accrued additional interest required, shall limit the rights of Agent and Lenders with respect to their ability to charge interest at the Default Rate or to declare any Event of Default or exercise any of their remedies during the existence of such an Event of Default.
