Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Reference is made to the Factoring Agreement entered into between us dated June 20, 2005, as the same may have been amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Original Factoring Agreement”). Effective as of December 16, 2008, GMAC COMMERCIAL FINANCE LLC and RAFAELLA APPAREL GROUP, INC. agree that the Original Factoring Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Factor shall act as Client’s factor upon the following terms and conditions:

1. DEFINITIONS

All initially capitalized terms used in this agreement are defined in Rider I attached hereto. All other terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given such terms in the UCC.

2. SALE OF ACCOUNTS AND SECURITY INTEREST

(a) Factor hereby assigns and sells without representation or warranty to Client, as absolute owner, and Client hereby purchases from Factor, all Accounts previously purchased by and assigned to Factor by Client under (and as defined in) the Original Factoring Agreement and in respect of which the Settlement Date has not occurred prior to the date hereof (the “Re-Assigned Accounts”).

(b) (i) Client hereby assigns and sells to Factor, as absolute owner, and Factor hereby purchases from Client, on the date hereof, the Re-Assigned Accounts; and (ii) Client hereby agrees to assign and sell to Factor, as absolute owner, and Factor hereby agrees to purchase from Client, on the relevant Settlement Date as described below, all Accounts (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Re-Assigned Accounts) created on or after the Effective Date that are specifically assigned hereunder by Client to Factor from time to time which arise from Client’s sale of merchandise or rendition of services, together with the Supporting Obligations, General Intangibles, and Documents arising therefrom and related thereto, together with rights of stoppage in transit, replevin, repossession, reclamation, and other rights and remedies of an unpaid vendor. Factor’s purchase of, and acquisition of title to, each Account will be effective as of the respective Settlement Date as to each Account. Prior to the respective Settlement Date as to an Account, Factor shall provide services under this agreement as Client’s collection services agent and title to each Account until the respective Settlement Date shall remain vested in Client.

(c) Client hereby grants to Factor a continuing security interest in all of the Collateral as security for all Obligations.

3. CUSTOMER CREDIT APPROVAL

(a) Client shall submit to Factor the principal terms of each Customer order for Factor’s written credit approval. Factor may, in Factor’s discretion, approve all or a portion of a Customer order, either by establishing a credit line limited to a specific amount for a specific Customer, or by approving all or a portion of a specific order. No credit approval shall be effective unless: (i) the goods are shipped or the services rendered within the time specified in Factor’s written credit approval or, if no time is specified, within forty-five (45) days after the approval is given, (ii) the corresponding invoice is assigned to and received by Factor within ten (10) business days from ship date, and (iii) the sales terms are approved by Factor on the ship date. After Customer has accepted the goods or performance of the services, Factor shall then have the Credit Risk on the Account (but not the risk of non-payment for any other reason), to the extent of the dollar amount specified in the credit approval for the specific order or, where Factor has established a credit line for the Customer, to the extent of availability on the credit line from time to time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Factor shall not have Credit Risk on (i) Accounts evidenced by invoices for the purchase and sale of samples and invoices of less than Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00), and (ii) Accounts created with a Customer while that Customer is sixty (60) days or more past due on any invoice from Client. Factor may withdraw Factor’s credit approval or withdraw or adjust a credit line at any time before Client ships the goods or renders the services.

Only credit approvals and Factor’s withdrawal thereof communicated to Client in writing, transmitted electronically or entered on Client’s internet accessible account information shall be effective.

(b) Factor’s Credit Risk, if any, on an Account shall immediately terminate without any action on Factor’s part in the event that (i) any representation, warranty or covenant by Client as to the Account is breached; or (ii) there is any change in the selling terms or dating without Factor’s prior written approval; or (iii) Customer asserts a Dispute; or (iv) Factor credits Client with payment of the purchase price for the Account; or (v) Client over-ships Factor’s then effective credit approval by 50%; or (vi) this agreement is terminated. Factor may charge back to Client, at any time, including after the Settlement Date, the uncollected gross face amount of any

Account (or portion thereof) on which Factor’s Credit Risk has been terminated. Such action on Factor’s part shall not be deemed a reassignment of such Account and will not impair Factor’s rights or security interest therein, which will continue to be effective until this agreement is terminated and all Obligations are fully satisfied.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Re-Assigned Account shall be deemed approved by Factor, and Factor shall have the Credit Risk on each Re-Assigned Accounts to the extent that Factor had assumed and retained the Credit Risk for such Re-Assigned Accounts under the Original Factoring Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement.

4. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

The purchase price of Accounts is the Net Face Amount thereof less Factor’s commission. The purchase price will be credited to Client on the Settlement Date. Factor may withhold Reserves from any amount credited or to be credited to Client or otherwise payable to Client. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any payment to be made to Client hereunder in respect of any Account would be prohibited under, or would be in violation of, any law, rule, code or regulation of the United States or any state thereof, including, without limitation, regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury, Factor’s Credit Risk, if any, with respect to such Account shall immediately terminate and Client hereby authorizes and directs Factor to remit the proceeds of any such payment in accordance with the directions of any applicable governmental authority and, thereafter, Factor shall have no further obligation to Client with respect to such Account or the proceeds thereof.

5. COMMISSIONS, FEES

For Factor’s services, Factor shall charge to Client (without duplication of any previous charges in respect of any Re-Assigned Accounts under the Original Factoring Agreement):

(a) for each Account specifically assigned hereunder, as of the date of its creation, excluding the Re-Assigned Accounts and any other Accounts arising through credit card transactions and sales where Client does not extend terms to the Customer, but including all other Accounts (excluding Re-Assigned Accounts), even where such Account is not specifically assigned to Factor, a commission at the rate of (x) three-tenths of one percent (0.30%) percent) of the gross face amount of the invoice with respect to which the Customer is Macy’s Department Stores or Xxxx, Inc.; or (y) four—tenths of one percent (0.40%) of the gross amount of each invoice evidencing any other Account, in either case created during such month for selling terms not exceeding sixty (60) days including dating, plus an additional one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) for each additional thirty (30) days or portion thereof of selling terms, provided, however, that if Client changes the terms of any invoice, then the commission on the gross face amount of that invoice shall be the applicable commission set forth above, plus one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) for each thirty (30) days or portion thereof of such change, plus an additional five one hundredths of one percent (0.05%) if the invoice is not transmitted to Factor electronically in a format acceptable to Factor. Factor’s commission on any invoice evidencing an Account shall not be less than Two Dollars ($2.00); and

(b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Factor may from time to time impose surcharges upon the commissions set forth in Paragraph 5(a) with respect to invoices owing by Specified Customers. Schedule 5(b) hereto is the current schedule of the Specified Customers and the surcharge for each. Factor may, in its sole discretion, revise Schedule 5(b), which revisions shall become effective (i) three (3) business days after the initial posting thereof on Factor Website or (ii) seven (7) business days after the deposit thereof in the U.S. mail, addressed to Client’s address appearing on the signature page of this agreement (or such other address as later provided in writing).

(c) as of the last day of each month, interest on the actual daily balance of all Obligations which are outstanding during such month at the Borrowing Rate. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance thereof, all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Interest, at the Borrowing Rate from Settlement Date to the date of chargeback, shall also be charged where Factor’s Credit Risk on an unpaid Account is terminated after the Settlement Date. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days.

6. STATEMENTS

Factor will make available to Client a monthly statement of account, which shall be fully binding on Client and constitute an account stated, unless, within forty-five (45) days after such statement is made available to Client, Client gives Factor specific written notice of exceptions.

Regardless of actual application in accordance with Customer instructions, remittance advice or otherwise, each Customer payment shall first reduce Factor’s then aggregate Credit Risk with respect to such Customer, with any Customer payment or a portion thereof reducing Client’s Credit Risk with respect to such Customer only after Factor’s Credit Risk has been fully retired.

Without limiting the foregoing, all of Factor’s security interests and other rights in and to all Collateral shall continue to be operative until the later of (i) the last day of the Term, (ii) all Obligations have been fully and finally satisfied (iii) or Client has given Factor an indemnity satisfactory to Factor in its sole discretion.

11. REMEDIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

(a) Factor’s rights and remedies under this agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy Factor may have hereunder or under the UCC or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, if Factor exercises Factor’s rights as a secured party Factor may, at any time or times, without demand, advertisement or notice, all of which Client hereby waives, sell the Collateral, or any part of it, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit, or otherwise, at Factor’s sole option and discretion, and Factor may bid or become purchaser at any such sale, free of any right of redemption which Client hereby waives. After application of all Collateral to Client’s Obligations (in such order and manner as Factor in Factor’s sole discretion shall determine), Client shall remain liable to Factor for any deficiency.

(b) Factor shall have the right, in Factor’s sole discretion, to determine which rights, liens, security interests or remedies Factor may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action and incur any costs or expenses with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Factor’s rights hereunder. Failure by Factor to exercise any right, remedy or option under this agreement or delay by Factor in exercising the same will not operate as a waiver. No waiver by Factor will be effective unless Factor confirms it in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated.

(c) Factor shall have no liability hereunder (i) for any losses or damages (including, without limitation, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages) resulting from Factor’s refusal to assume, or delay in assuming, the Credit Risk, or any malfunction, failure or interruption of communication facilities, or labor difficulties, or other causes beyond Factor’s control; or (ii) for indirect, special or consequential damages arising from accounting errors with respect to Client. Except as prohibited by law, Client waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation with Factor any incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. Client: (A) certifies that neither Factor nor any representative, agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of Factor has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Factor would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this agreement or any of the Other Documents and (B) acknowledges that in entering into this agreement and the Other Documents, Factor is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications set forth in this Paragraph 10(c) and elsewhere herein and in the Other Documents.

12. INDEMNITY

Client shall indemnify Factor for all claims, losses, costs and expenses incurred by Factor in connection with Accounts for which Factor does not have the Credit Risk, Accounts factored on a full recourse basis, Accounts which are unpaid at maturity for reasons other than Customer’s financial inability to pay, and claims, losses, costs, and expenses related to recovery of a Customer payment with respect to any account where such payment is alleged to be “preferential” under bankruptcy and insolvency laws and claims based on any theory which would characterize Factor’s receipt of Customer payment with respect to any account as a recoverable preference in bankruptcy, and Factor’s attorney’s fees and defense costs associated therewith. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this agreement.

13. GENERAL

(a) Factor may charge to Client the amount of reasonable legal fees (including, without limitation, fees, expenses and costs payable or allocable to attorneys retained or employed by Factor) and other costs, fees and expenses incurred by Factor in negotiating or preparing this agreement and any legal documentation required by Factor or requested by Client in connection with this agreement or any amendments or supplements thereof, or in enforcing Factor’s rights hereunder or in connection with the litigation of any controversy arising out of this agreement, or in protecting, preserving or perfecting Factor’s interest in any Collateral, including without limitation all costs incurred or payable with respect to any Collateral, and the costs of all public record filings, field examinations, appraisals and searches relating to Client or any Collateral. Factor may also charge to Client’s account all charges for wire transfers and the fees set forth on the Supplemental Services Schedule posted on Factor Website. Factor may, in its sole discretion, revise such Supplemental Services Schedule, which revisions shall be effective (i) three (3) business days after the initial posting thereof on the Factor Website or (ii) seven (7) business days after the deposit thereof in the U.S. mail, addressed to Client’s address appearing on the signature page of this agreement (or such other address as later provided in writing). Client’s Obligations under this paragraph shall survive termination of this agreement.

(b) This agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally and is for the benefit of and binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns except that Client may not assign or transfer any of Client’s rights or obligations under this Agreement without Factor’s prior written consent, and no such assignment or transfer of any such obligation shall relieve Client thereof unless Factor has consented to such release in a writing specifically referring to the obligation from which Client is to be released. This agreement, and any concurrent or subsequent written supplements thereto or amendments thereof signed by both of Factor and Client, represent the entire understanding of the parties and supersede all inconsistent agreements and communications, written or oral, between Client’s and Factor’s officers, employees, agents and other representatives. Any notice permitted or provided for hereunder shall be given as of (i) the date of receipt if delivered to the address for Client or Factor, as the case may be, appearing on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as later provided in writing), first class mail, return receipt requested or (ii) the date delivery is first attempted, if returned undelivered.

(d) This agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its choice of law principles.
