SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES
2.1 Revolving Loans.
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of Revolving Loans to Borrower from time to time in amounts requested by Borrower up to the amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the Net Recovery Cost Percentage multiplied by the Cost of Eligible Inventory or Eligible Letter of Credit Inventory, as applicable, less the amount of any Availability Reserves.
(b) The Agents may from time to time, and in each case upon not less than ten (10) days prior notice to Borrower, reduce the lending formula with respect to Eligible Inventory to the extent that the Agents determine that: (i) the number of days of the turnover of the Inventory for any period has changed in any material respect or (ii) the nature, quality or mix of the Inventory has deteriorated in any material respect. In determining whether to reduce the lending formula(s), the Agents may consider events, conditions, contingencies or risks which are also considered in determining Eligible Inventory or in establishing Availability Reserves. To the extent the Agents shall have established an Availability Reserve which is sufficient to address any event, condition or matter in a manner satisfactory to the Agents in good faith, the Agents shall not exercise its rights under this Section 2.1(b) to reduce the lending formulas, to address such event, condition or matter. The amount of any reduction in the lending formula by the Agents pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall have a reasonable relationship to the matter which is the basis for such a reduction.
(c) Except in Administrative Agent’s discretion, with the consent of all Lenders, the aggregate amount of the Loans and the Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Credit. In the event that the outstanding amount of any component of the Loans, or the aggregate amount of the outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations, exceed the amounts available under the lending formulas, sublimits for Letter of Credit Accommodations set forth in Section 2.2(d) or the Maximum Credit, as applicable, such event shall not limit, waive or otherwise affect any rights of Agents or Lenders in that circumstance or on any future occasions and Borrower shall, upon demand by Administrative Agent, which may be made at any time or from time to time, immediately repay to Administrative Agent the entire amount of any such excess(es) for which payment is demanded.
(d) Uncommitted Increases in Maximum Credit.
(i) Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Borrower may, by written notice to Administrative Agent from time to time, request an increase in the Maximum Credit (by way of an increase to
20
any existing Commitment or, in accordance with clause (iii) below, additional Commitments) in an amount (for all such requests) not to exceed the Additional Credit provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Additional Credit), and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three (3) such requests. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).
(ii) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.
(iii) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase in the Maximum Credit and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), to the extent that the existing Lenders decline to increase their Commitments, or decline to increase their Commitments to the amount requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for other Eligible Transferees satisfactory to Borrower or Persons described in Section 13.6(a)(i)(A) or (C) to become a Lender hereunder (each such Lender, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) and to issue commitments in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in the Commitments requested by the Borrower and not accepted by the existing Lenders (and the Borrower may also invite additional other Eligible Transferees or Persons described in Section 13.6(a)(i)(A) or (C) to become Lenders), provided, however, that without the consent of the Administrative Agent, at no time shall the Commitment of any Additional Commitment Lender be less than $10,000,000. The terms and provisions of such additional Commitments and Loans made under such additional Commitments shall be identical to those of the existing Commitments and Loans, respectively.
(iv) If the Maximum Credit is increased in accordance with this Section 2.1(d), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date and on the Increase Effective Date (i) the Maximum Credit under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Commitment increases, and (ii) Schedule I hereto shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Commitments and Pro Rata
21
Share of the Lenders. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Additional Credit Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of the additional Commitment and additional Loans evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments.
(v) As a condition precedent to any such increase to the Maximum Credit, (i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by an authorized corporate officer of the Borrower (A) certifying that the resolutions previously adopted by the Borrower authorizing the increase in the Maximum Credit have not been amended, modified or repealed and remain in full force and effect, (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Section 8 and in the other Financing Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.1(d), the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.3 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.6, and (2) no Default or Event of Default exists or would arise from such increase to the Maximum Credit, (ii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and any Additional Commitment Lender shall have executed and delivered an Additional Credit Assumption Agreement; (iii) the Borrower shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Commitment Lenders as the Borrower and such Additional Commitment Lenders shall agree; (iv) the Borrower shall have paid such arrangement fees to the Administrative Agent as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree; (v) the Borrowers shall have executed and delivered any notes requested by Lenders to evidence their Commitments after giving effect to any increases in Commitments; and (vi) no Default or Event of Default exists.
2.2 Letter of Credit Accommodations.
(a) Upon the request of the LC Issuer, Borrower shall execute and deliver to the LC Issuer a Master Letter of Credit Agreement. Borrower shall give notice to Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer of the proposed issuance of each Letter of Credit Accommodation on a Business Day which is at least three (3) Business Days (or such lesser number of days as Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer shall agree in any particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit Accommodation Each such notice shall be accompanied by an LC Application, duly executed by Borrower and in all respects satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer, together with such other documentation as Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer may request in support thereof, it being understood that each LC Application shall specify, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit Accommodation is to be issued, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit Accommodation (which shall not be later than the Termination Date (unless such Letter of
22
Credit Accommodation is cash collateralized pursuant to Section 10.2(b)) and whether such Letter of Credit Accommodation is to be transferable in whole or in part. Any Letter of Credit Accommodation outstanding after the Termination Date which is cash collateralized for the benefit of the LC Issuer shall be the sole responsibility of the LC Issuer. So long as the LC Issuer has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 with respect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit Accommodation have not been satisfied, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(h) hereof, the LC Issuer shall issue such Letter of Credit Accommodation and of any amendment thereto, extension thereof or event or circumstance changing the amount available for drawing thereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Master Letter of Credit Agreement, any application for a Letter of Credit Accommodation and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(b) The LC Issuer hereby agrees, upon request of Administrative Agent or any Lender, to deliver to Administrative Agent or such Lender a list of all outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations issued by the LC Issuer, together with such information related thereto as Administrative Agent or such Lender may reasonably request.
(c) The LC Issuer shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit Accommodation by the beneficiary thereunder; provided that the failure of the LC Issuer to so notify Borrower or Administrative Agent shall not affect the rights of the LC Issuer or the Lenders in any manner whatsoever. Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to reimburse the LC Issuer for each payment or disbursement made by the LC Issuer under any Letter of Credit Accommodation honoring any demand for payment made by the beneficiary thereunder, in each case on the date that such payment or disbursement is made. If Borrower does not pay any reimbursement obligation when due, Borrower shall be deemed to have immediately requested that the Lenders make a Revolving Loan which is a Prime Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to such reimbursement obligations (such Revolving Loan shall be referred to herein as an “LC Reimbursement Loan”). Administrative Agent shall promptly notify such Lenders of such deemed request and, without the necessity of compliance with the requirements of Section 4, Section 6.5 or otherwise such Lender shall make available to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Loan. The proceeds of such Loan shall be paid over by Administrative Agent to the LC Issuer for the account of Borrower in satisfaction of such reimbursement obligations.
(d) Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be irrevocable and unconditional under all circumstances, including (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Accommodation, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit Accommodation, any transferee of any Letter of Credit Accommodation (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodation, this Agreement, any other Financing Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between Borrower and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit Accommodation), (iii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document which the LC
23
Issuer has determined complies on its face with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit Accommodation, even if such document should later prove to have been forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein shall have been untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission whatsoever by Administrative Agent or any Lender (excluding any Lender in its capacity as the LC Issuer) under or in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodation or any related matters shall result in any liability of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to Borrower, or relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.
(e) Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit Accommodation, the LC Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender with a Commitment, and each such Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit Accommodation and Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If the LC Issuer makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit Accommodation and (a) (x) Borrower has not reimbursed the LC Issuer in full for such payment or disbursement by 11:00 A.M. on the date of such payment or disbursement and (y) an LC Reimbursement Loan may not be made in accordance with Section 2.1 or (b) any reimbursement received by the LC Issuer from Borrower is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, each other Lender shall be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the LC Issuer, in full or partial payment of the purchase price of its participation in such Letter of Credit Accommodation, its Pro Rata Share of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment shall diminish the obligations of Borrower under Section 2.2 (c) and (d)), and, upon notice from the LC Issuer, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender thereof. Each other Lender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to so pay to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the LC Issuer’s account the amount of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment or disbursement. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made such amount available to Administrative Agent by 2:00 P.M. on the Business Day on which such Lender receives notice from Administrative Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after 12:00 noon on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to Administrative Agent for the LC Issuer’s account forthwith on demand, for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to Administrative Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the Prime Rate from time to time in effect. Any Lender’s failure to make available to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.5 and 2.2(e), no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Loan, or to permit the continuation of or any conversion into any LIBO Rate Loan, and the LC Issuer shall not have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit Accommodation, if a Default or Event of Default exists.
24
(g) In addition to any charges, fees or expenses charged by any bank or LC Issuer in connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to (A) 1.50% per annum on the daily outstanding balance of the Letter of Credit Accommodations with respect to standby letters of credit and (B) 1.00% per annum on the daily outstanding balance of the Letter of Credit Accommodations with respect to documentary letters of credit, in each case for the immediately preceding month (or part thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding month, except that Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, such letter of credit fee, at Administrative Agent’s option, without notice, at a rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the rate otherwise provided in this Section 2.2(h) on such daily outstanding balance (i) without notice, at any time an Event of Default pursuant to any of Sections 10.1(f), 10.1(g) and/or 10.1(h) and/or (ii) upon the written request of Required Lenders, and otherwise without notice, for the period from and after the date of the occurrence of any Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in the immediately preceding clause (i), and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing as determined by Administrative Agent. Such letter of credit fee shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of Borrower to pay such fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(h) No Letter of Credit Accommodations shall be available unless on the date of the proposed issuance of any Letter of Credit Accommodations, and after giving effect thereto,
(i) Excess Availability is at least $1.00;
(ii) no order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the LC Issuer from issuing such letter of credit, or no law applicable to the LC Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the LC Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the LC Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such letter of credit in particular or shall impose upon the LC Issuer with respect to such letter of credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the LC Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date hereof, or shall impose upon the LC Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof and which the LC Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;
(iii) the issuance of such letter of credit would violate one or more policies of the LC Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; or
(iv) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or Deteriorating Lender hereunder, unless the Administrative Agent or LC Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the LC Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.
25
(i) Except in Administrative Agent’s discretion, with the consent of all Lenders, the amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations and all other commitments and obligations made or incurred by either Agent or any Lender in connection therewith shall not at any time exceed $10,000,000. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower will either furnish cash collateral to secure the reimbursement obligations to the LC Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations or furnish cash collateral to Administrative Agent for the Letter of Credit Accommodations, and in either case, the Loans otherwise available to Borrower shall not be reduced as provided in Section to 2.2(i) the extent of such cash collateral.
(j) Borrower shall indemnify and hold Agents and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses which either Agent or any Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations and any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto, including any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses due to any action taken by any LC Issuer or correspondent with respect to any Letter of Credit Accommodation. Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the acts or omissions of the drawer under or beneficiary of any Letter of Credit Accommodation and for such purposes the drawer or beneficiary shall be deemed Borrower’s agent. Borrower assumes all risks for, and agrees to pay, all foreign, Federal, State and local taxes, duties and levies relating to any goods subject to any Letter of Credit Accommodations or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder. Borrower hereby releases and holds Agents and Lenders harmless from and against any acts, waivers, errors, delays or omissions, whether caused by Borrower, by any LC Issuer or correspondent or otherwise with respect to or relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of either Agent or any Lender as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section 2.2(k) shall survive the payment of Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(k) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant Borrower any right or authority to pledge the credit of either Agent or any Lender in any manner. Agents and Lenders shall have no liability of any kind with respect to any Letter of Credit Accommodation provided by an LC Issuer other than either Agent or any Lender unless Administrative Agent has duly executed and delivered to such LC Issuer the application or a guarantee or indemnification in writing with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation. Borrower shall be bound by any interpretation made in good faith by Administrative Agent, or any other LC Issuer or correspondent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodation or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such interpretation may be inconsistent with any instructions of Borrower. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to, and Borrower shall not: (i) approve or resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents, (ii) give any instructions as to acceptance or rejection of any documents or goods, (iii) execute any and all applications for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery orders, (iv) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for,
26
or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or documents, or (v) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in the Collateral; provided, that, Borrower shall not, at any time prior to an Event of Default, take any of the actions specified in clauses (iv) and (v) above except after prior written notice to Administrative Agent and with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, if Administrative Agent shall determine in good faith that any such action shall increase the risk of Agents or Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodations. Administrative Agent may take such actions either in its own name or in Borrower’s name.
(l) Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by Borrower to any LC Issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement in favor of any LC Issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been granted or undertaken by Borrower to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Any duties or obligations undertaken by Administrative Agent to any LC Issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement by Administrative Agent in favor of any LC Issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been undertaken by Borrower to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders and to apply in all respects to Borrower.
2.3 Availability Reserves.
Without limiting any other rights and remedies of Agents or Lenders hereunder or under the other Financing Agreements, all Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations otherwise available to Borrower shall be subject to the right of Agents from time to time, to establish and revise in good faith reserves reducing the amount of Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations that would otherwise be available to Borrower (“Availability Reserves”): (a) to reflect events, conditions or contingencies that, as determined by the Agents in good faith, adversely affect or have a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting either (i) the Collateral or any other property which is security for the Obligations, its value or the amount which may be realized by Collateral Agent from the sale or other disposition thereof, or (ii) the assets or financial condition of Borrower or any Obligor, or (iii) the security interests and other rights of Collateral Agent in the Collateral (including the enforceability, perfection and priority thereof), or (b) to reflect either Agent’s good faith belief that any collateral report or financial information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or any Obligor to Agents is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, or (c) in respect of any state of facts which either Agent determines in good faith constitutes an Event of Default or may, with notice or passage of time or both, constitute an Event of Default, or (d) to reflect inventory shrinkage (as reflected on the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 9.6(a)(i)), or (e) to reflect the aggregate amount of deposits, if any, received by Borrower from its retail customers in respect of unfilled orders, or (f) to reflect amounts due or to become due in respect of sales, use and/or withholding taxes, provided, that, an Availability Reserve pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) will only be established if (i) Excess Availability (without giving effect to any reserve for such amounts) shall be less than $1,000,000, or (ii) an Event of Default or act, condition or event
27
which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, or (g)(i) to reflect any rental payments, service charges or other amounts past due to lessors of real or personal property, and (ii) to reflect any rental payments, service charges or other amounts to become due to lessors of real or personal property, which Availability Reserve shall be calculated in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of Eligible Inventory (excluding from this clause (g)(ii) only, (A) lessors from whom a Landlord Agreement is not required to be delivered under the definition of Eligible Inventory or (B) lessors from whom a Landlord Agreement is required to be delivered under the definition of Eligible Inventory and who have executed and delivered Landlord Agreements) to the extent Inventory or Records are located in or on such property or such Records are needed to monitor or otherwise deal with the Collateral, or (h) to reflect net amounts owing by Borrower to Credit Card Issuers or Credit Card Processors in connection with the Credit Card Agreements, or (i) for Bank Product Reserves and Cash Management Reserves. To the extent the Agents may revise the lending formula set forth in Section 2.1 hereof or establish new criteria or revise existing criteria for Eligible Inventory so as to address any circumstance, condition, event or contingency in a manner satisfactory to the Agents, the Agents shall not establish an Availability Reserve for the same purpose (and, for clarity, any limitations on the Agents’ rights to revise the lending formula set forth in Section 2.1 hereof or to establish new criteria or revise existing criteria for Eligible Inventory, shall in no way limit the right of the Agents to establish or modify Availability Reserves). The amount of any Availability Reserve established by the Agents shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter which, is the basis for such reserve as determined by the Agents in good faith.
2.4 Commitments.
(a) The aggregate amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitments, as the same may from time to time be amended in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(b) Borrower may at any time upon at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent permanently reduce the Commitments hereunder; provided that (A) the Commitments may not be reduced to less than fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum Credit in effect immediately prior to such reduction, (B) any such reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of such amount, and (C) such reduction must be accompanied by payment of any funding breakage costs in accordance with Section 3.1(c).
2.5 Swing Line Facility.
(a) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Swing Line Lender upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Notice of Borrowing (as defined in Section 6.5) that requests a Swing Line Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, upon the Borrower’s request for a Swing Line Loan as set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion, make available from time to time until the Termination Date advances (each, a “Swing Line Loan”) in accordance with any such notice, notwithstanding that after making a requested Swing Line Loan, the sum of the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans outstanding and all outstanding Swing Line Loans may exceed the
28
Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall not relieve Lenders of their obligations to make Revolving Loans under Section 2.1; provided that if the Swing Line Lender makes a Swing Line Loan pursuant to any such notice, such Swing Line Loan shall be in lieu of any Revolving Loan that otherwise may be made by the Lenders pursuant to such notice. The aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding shall not exceed at any time Swing Line Availability. Until the Termination Date, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.5; provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at any time when any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or Deteriorating Lender hereunder, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender. Each Swing Line Loan shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.5(a). Any such notice must be given no later than 2:00 P.M. on the Business Day of the proposed Swing Line Loan. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received at least one Business Day’s prior written notice from the Required Lenders instructing it not to make a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2, be entitled to fund that Swing Line Loan, and to have the Lenders make Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.5(c) or purchase participating interests therein in accordance with Section 2.5(d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, each Swing Line Loan shall constitute a Prime Rate Loan. The Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Loan upon demand therefore by the Administrative Agent.
(b) The entire unpaid balance of each Swing Line Loan and all other noncontingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Termination Date if not sooner paid in full.
(c) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time no less frequently than once weekly, shall on behalf of the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf) request each Lender with a Commitment (including the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Loan to the Borrower (which shall be a Prime Rate Loan) in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless any of the events described in any of Sections 10.1(f), 10.1(g) or 10.1(h) has occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.5(d) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Loan are then satisfied, each Lender shall disburse directly to the Administrative Agent, its Pro Rata Share on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, prior to 2:00 P.M. in immediately available funds on the date that notice is given (provided that such notice is given by 12:00 noon on such date, which shall be a Business Day). The proceeds of those Revolving Loans shall be immediately paid to the Swing Line Lender and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan.
(d) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(c), one of the events described in any of Sections 10.1(f), 10.1(g) or 10.1(h) has occurred, then, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(e) below, each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made for the benefit of the Borrower, purchase from the
29

(b) Borrower may from time to time request that Prime Rate Loans be converted to LIBO Rate Loans or that any existing LIBO Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days
30
after receipt by Administrative Agent of such a request from Borrower, such Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to LIBO Rate Loans or such LIBO Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be, provided, that, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement, (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as are established by Administrative Agent and specified by Administrative Agent to Borrower from time to time for requests by Borrower for LIBO Rate Loans, (iv) no more than ten (10) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, (v) the aggregate amount of the LIBO Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (vi) Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have determined that the Interest Period or Adjusted LIBO Rate is available to Administrative Agent and such Lender and can be readily determined as of the date of the request for such LIBO Rate Loan by Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agents and Lenders shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBO Rate market to fund any LIBO Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Agents and Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBO Rate Loans. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) or, if no timely notice is provided by the Borrower, of the details of any automatic conversion.
(c) Any LIBO Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Administrative Agent has received and approved a request to continue such LIBO Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any LIBO Rate Loans shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, upon notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower, convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that (i) a Default or an Event of Default shall exist, (ii) this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed, or (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Loans which have previously been converted to LIBO Rate Loans or existing LIBO Rate Loans continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed either (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, or (B) the Loans then available to Borrower under Section 2 hereof. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon demand by Administrative Agent (or Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrower) any amounts required to compensate any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Participant for any loss (other than the loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense reasonably incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of LIBO Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.
(d) Interest accruing in respect of Prime Rate Loans shall be payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, quarterly in arrears not later than the last day of each calendar quarter and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest accruing in respect of LIBO Rate Loans shall be payable on the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless the Interest Period is greater than three (3) months, in which case interest shall be payable on the last day of each three (3) month interval commencing with the first day of such Interest Period. The interest rate on non-
31
contingent Obligations (other than LIBO Rate Loans) shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the first day of the month after any change in such Prime Rate is announced based on the Prime Rate in effect on the last day of the month in which any such change occurs. In no event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrower to Agents and Lenders exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and if any such part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto.
3.2 Other Fees.
(a) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, monthly as billed, an unused line fee at a rate equal to 0.225% per annum calculated upon the amount by which the Maximum Credit (or in the event that the Maximum Credit has changed during a measuring period, the average daily Maximum Credit during such period) exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations during the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or part thereof), which fee shall be payable on the last day of each calendar quarter in arrears.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the Closing Date a closing fee for each Lender of 0.10% of their respective Commitment.
(c) Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent the other fees and amounts set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein.
3.3 Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all LIBO Rate Loans of any Lender shall, upon notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower, convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that (i) any Change In Law or regulation (or the interpretation or administration thereof) shall either (A) make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans or to comply with the terms hereof in connection with the LIBO Rate Loans, or (B) shall result in the increase in the costs to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBO Rate Loans by an amount deemed by Administrative Agent to be material, or (C) reduce the amounts received or receivable by such Lender in respect thereof, by an amount deemed by Administrative Agent to be material or (ii) the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBO Rate Loans shall otherwise increase by an amount deemed by Administrative Agent to be material. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, upon demand by Administrative Agent (or Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrower) any amounts required to compensate any Lender for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person as a result of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such person to make or maintain the LIBO Rate Loans or any portion thereof. A certificate of Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender setting forth the basis for the determination of such amount necessary to compensate such Lender as aforesaid shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be presumptive evidence of such amount.
32
(b) If any payments or prepayments in respect of the LIBO Rate Loans are received by either Agent or any Lender other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (whether pursuant to acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise), including any payments pursuant to the application of collections under Section 6.3 or any other payments made with the proceeds of Collateral, or if the Borrower fails to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any LIBO Rate Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, upon demand by Administrative Agent (or Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrower) any amounts required to compensate any Lender or any Participant for any additional loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person as a result of such prepayment or payment, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such person to make or maintain such LIBO Rate Loans or any portion thereof. A certificate of Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender setting forth the basis for the determination of such amount necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be presumptive evidence of such amount.
(c) If any Lender delivers notice pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b) above in which such Lender asserts a claim for compensation which claim is not being asserted by the other Lenders, Borrower may require within 90 days of receiving such notice, at its expense, that such Lender assign, at par, without recourse (in accordance with Section 13.6(a) hereof) all of its interests, rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements (including all of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it and any participations in Loans held by it) to an Eligible Transferee proposed by Borrower (a “Substitute Lender”), provided, that (i) no Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment, (ii) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority, (iii) Borrower shall have received the written consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) Borrower shall have paid to the assigning Lender all monies accrued and owing hereunder to it (including pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b) above.
(d) Promptly after any Lender becomes aware of any circumstance that will, in its sole judgment, result in a request for increased compensation pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b) above, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Each Lender will use reasonable efforts to designate a lending office (or a different lending office), so long as such designation is not adverse to such Lender in such Lender’s sole judgment, if such designation would avoid the need to, or reduce the amount which would be required to, compensate such Lender for any additional costs incurred or reductions suffered. Failure on the part of any Lender to so notify Borrower or to demand compensation for any increased costs in amounts received or receivable with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period.

(i) Borrower shall take any other actions reasonably requested by the Agents from time to time to cause the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Collateral Agent to enforce, the security interest of Collateral Agent in any and all of the Collateral located in the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico, including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC or other applicable law, to the extent, if any, that Borrower’s signature thereon is required therefore, (ii) causing Collateral Agent’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Collateral Agent to enforce, the security interest of Collateral Agent in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Collateral Agent to enforce, the security interest of Collateral Agent in such Collateral, (iv) obtaining the consents and approvals of any Governmental Authority or third party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, and taking all actions required by any earlier versions of the UCC or by other law, as applicable in any relevant jurisdiction.
SECTION 6. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION
6.1 Borrower’s Loan Account.
Administrative Agent shall maintain one or more loan account(s) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) all Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and other Obligations, (b) all payments made by or on behalf of Borrower and (c) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including fees, charges, costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the loan account(s) shall be made in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary practices as in effect from time to time. The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by the loan accounts maintained by Administrative Agent; provided that if any Lender so requests, the Borrower will execute a promissory note in favor of such Lender further evidencing such Lender’s Commitment. Administrative Agent is authorized by all the parties hereto to make all revisions and modifications to Schedule I hereto at any time to reflect the then current Commitments of each Lender.
41
6.2 Statements.
Administrative Agent shall render to Borrower each month a statement setting forth the balance in the Borrower’s loan account(s) maintained by Administrative Agent for Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Administrative Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrower and conclusively binding upon Borrower as an account stated except to the extent that Administrative Agent receives a written notice from Borrower of any specific exceptions of Borrower thereto within forty-five (45) days after the date such statement has been mailed by Administrative Agent. Until such time as Administrative Agent shall have rendered to Borrower a written statement as provided above, the balance in Borrower’s loan account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Administrative Agent and Lenders by Borrower.
6.3 Collection of Accounts.
(a) Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its expense, deposit account arrangements and merchant payment arrangements with the banks set forth on Schedule 6.3 to the Information Certificate and after prior written notice to Administrative Agent, and subject to Section 5.3(d), such other banks as Borrower may hereafter select as are acceptable to Administrative Agent. The banks set forth on Schedule 6.3 to the Information Certificate constitute all of the banks with whom Borrower has deposit account arrangements and merchant payment arrangements as of the date hereof and such Schedule identifies each of the deposit accounts at such banks to a retail store location of Borrower or otherwise describes the nature of the use of such deposit account by Borrower.
(i) Borrower shall deposit all proceeds from sales of Inventory in every form, including, without limitation, cash, checks, credit card sales drafts, credit card sales or charge slips or receipts and other forms of store receipts, from each retail store location of Borrower on each Business Day into the deposit accounts of Borrower used solely for such purpose and identified to each retail store location as set forth on Schedule 6.3 to the Information Certificate (together with any other deposit accounts at any time established or used by Borrower for receiving such store receipts from any retail store location, collectively, the “Store Bank Accounts”) or as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(a)(iii) below. Borrower shall irrevocably authorize and direct, and shall use its best efforts to cause, all available funds deposited into the Store Bank Accounts to be sent by wire transfer or by transfer using the automated clearinghouse network (“ACH transfer”) on a daily basis, and all other proceeds of Collateral to be sent by wire transfer or by ACH transfer, to the Blocked Account as provided in Section 6.3(a)(ii) below (except nominal amounts which are required to be maintained in such Store Bank Accounts under the terms of Borrower’s arrangements with the bank at which such Store Bank Accounts are maintained, not to exceed $10,000 for each individual store utilizing such Store Bank Account). Borrower shall irrevocably authorize and direct in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, each of the banks into which proceeds from sales of
42
Inventory from each retail store location of Borrower are at any time deposited as provided above and all of the banks in which Borrower’s concentration accounts are maintained to send all available funds deposited in such account (other than the nominal amounts referred to above) by wire transfer or ACH transfer on a daily basis to the Blocked Account. Such authorization and direction shall not be rescinded, revoked or modified without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. In the event any of such banks fails to send such funds to the Blocked Account as provided herein, Borrower shall pursue all of its rights and remedies as a result of such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for those Store Bank Accounts that transfer funds daily by ACH transfer initiated by Borrower’s store management notifying a third party processor, Borrower shall irrevocably authorize and direct in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, the third party processor that establishes the routing and executes the ACH transfer to send funds only to the Blocked Accounts and to agree to do so at any time upon Administrative Agent’s request and Administrative Agent shall receive an agreement from such third party processor confirming its agreement to do so. Such authorization and direction shall not be rescinded, revoked or modified without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
(ii) Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its expense, one or more deposit accounts with such banks as are acceptable to Administrative Agent (the “Blocked Accounts”) into which Borrower shall promptly either cause all amounts on deposit in the Store Bank Accounts to be sent as provided in Section 6.3(a)(i) above or shall itself deposit or cause to be deposited all proceeds from sales of Inventory, all amounts payable to Borrower from Credit Card Issuers and Credit Card Processors and all other proceeds of Collateral. To the extent required by Section 5.3(d) hereof, the banks at which the Blocked Accounts are established shall enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, providing that all items received or deposited in the Blocked Accounts are the property of Borrower subject to the lien and security interest of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Agents and Lenders, that the depository bank has no lien upon, or right of setoff against, the Blocked Accounts, the items received for deposit therein, or the funds from time to time on deposit therein and that upon notice (an “Activation Notice”) from either Agent at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or that Excess Availability is less than thirty percent (30%) of the lesser of (1) the amount of the Loans available to Borrower as of such time based on the formula set forth in Section 2.1(a) hereof, subject to the sublimits and Availability Reserves from time to time established by Agents hereunder and (2) the Maximum Credit, the depository bank will wire, or otherwise transfer, immediately available funds, on a daily basis, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to such bank account of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may from time to time designate for such purpose (“Payment Account”), which agreements, once entered into, shall remain in effect until this Agreement is terminated. Borrower agrees that all amounts deposited in such Blocked Accounts or in the Store Bank
43
Accounts or other funds received and collected by either Agent, whether as proceeds of inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall, to the extent that there are Obligations outstanding and an Activation Notice has been delivered, be the property of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Agents and Lenders. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, amounts in the Payment Account in excess of the Loan balance (including any required cash collateralization of Letter of Credit Accommodations) and other Obligations that are then due and not paid by the Borrower shall be promptly returned to a disbursement account designated by the Borrower. An Activation Notice, once furnished, shall remain in effect (i) so long as such Event of Default has not been cured or waived, and/or (ii) if the Activation Notice was furnished as a result of the Borrowers’ failure to achieve Excess Availability as required above, until Excess Availability has exceeded thirty percent (30%) of the lesser of (1) the amount of the Loans available to Borrower as of such time based on the formula set forth in Section 2.1(a) hereof, subject to the sublimits and Availability Reserves from time to time established by Agents hereunder and (2) the Maximum Credit for sixty (60) consecutive days, in which case the Agents will rescind the Activation Notice; provided that no such rescission shall be required to be furnished (even if an Event of Default is no longer continuing and/or Excess Availability exceeds the required amount for sixty (60) consecutive days) after an Activation Notice has been rescinded once in any twelve consecutive months. At any time that the Agents rescind the Activation Notice as provided above, the Blocked Accounts shall remain in effect and such termination shall in no way limit, waive or delay the obligation of the Borrower, or the right of the Agents, to again require all funds be transferred to the Payment Account upon the Borrower’s failure to achieve Excess Availability in the amounts required herein.
(iii) To the extent Borrower may elect, at Borrower’s option, to use the Armored Car Companies to pick up and collect cash or other proceeds of sales of Inventory from a retail store location, Borrower shall deliver to the Armored Car Companies all proceeds from sales of Inventory and other Collateral from such retail store location of Borrower. Borrower shall irrevocably authorize and direct the Armored Car Companies in writing, consistent with past practices described to Administrative Agent, to remit all such proceeds at any time received by the Armored Car Companies only to the deposit account identified on Schedule 6.3 to the Information Certificate or other Store Bank Accounts for such purpose and thereafter to the Blocked Accounts. Such authorization and direction to the Armored Car Companies shall not be rescinded, revoked or modified without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent unless Borrower shall cease to do business with such Armored Car Company, provided that upon any such termination the Armored Car Company shall not be released from its obligation to make payments for amounts previously delivered to such Armored Car Company. As of the date hereof, the only Armored Car Companies used by Borrower are those identified in Schedule 6.3 to the Information Certificate. Borrower shall not use any other Armored Car Companies for any purpose unless the aforesaid arrangements are in place with such other Armored Car Company. Upon request
44
of the Administrative Agent, Borrower will promptly either obtain and provide an agreement in writing from such other Armored Car Companies, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, duly authorized, executed and delivered by such other Armored Car Company, or cease doing business with such Armored Car Company.
(b) For purposes of calculating interest on the Obligations and the amount of Loans available to Borrower, payments or other funds received in the Payment Account shall be applied to the Obligations (conditional upon final collection) promptly and in accordance with its customary depository practice as such amounts become available.
(c) Borrower and all of its subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, employees, agents or other Affiliates shall, acting as trustee for Collateral Agent, receive, as the property of Borrower subject to the lien and security interest of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Agents and Lenders, any cash, checks, credit card sales drafts, credit card sales or charge slips or receipts, notes, drafts and all forms of store receipts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into their possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Store Bank Accounts (subject to the provisions of Section 6.3(a)(i)) or the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Administrative Agent. Borrower agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked Account is established or any other bank or person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Administrative Agent’s payments to or indemnification of such bank or person. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Administrative Agent for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
6.4 Payments.
(a) All Obligations shall be payable to the Payment Account as provided in Section 6.3 or such other place as Administrative Agent may designate from time to time. The Agents shall apply payments received or collected from Borrower or for the account of Borrower (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) as follows: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to any Agent, any Lender or their representatives from Borrower (other than in connection with any Hedging Agreements, Bank Products or Cash Management Services); second, to pay interest due in respect of any Loans and Special Agent Advances; third, to pay principal due in respect of the Swing Line Loans and Special Agent Advances; fourth, to pay principal due in respect of the Revolving Loans; fifth, to pay any other Obligations (other than in connection with any Hedging Agreements, Bank Products or Cash Management Services) then due and owing, in such order and manner as Administrative Agent determines; sixth, to pay any Obligations then due and owing relating to Cash Management Services (including fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts arising from any Cash Management Services), seventh, to pay any Obligations then due and owing relating to Hedging Agreements and Bank Products (including fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts arising from any Hedging Agreements or Bank Products) on a pro rata basis and eighth, to the extent of any balance remaining, such balance shall be delivered to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Notwithstanding anything to the
45
contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) unless so directed by Borrower, or unless a Default or an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, no Agent shall apply any payments which it receives to any LIBO Rate Loans, except on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBO Rate Loans and (ii) to the extent Borrower uses any proceeds of the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral, payments in respect of the obligations shall be deemed applied first to the Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations that were not used for such purposes and second to the Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral in the chronological order in which Borrower acquired such rights or use. Each payment on any of the Loans to or for the account of one or more Lenders entitled to such payments pursuant to this Section 6.4(a) shall be allocated among such Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Loans.
(b) At Administrative Agent’s option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of Borrower. Borrower shall make all payments to Agents and Lenders on the Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff, counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, any Agent or any Lender is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Agent or such Lender. Borrower shall be liable to pay to each Agent, and does hereby indemnify and hold Agents and Lenders harmless for the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.4 shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by any Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 6.4 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(c) If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, such immediately following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.
6.5 Authorization to Make Loans.
Agents and Lenders are authorized to make the Loans upon the receipt by Administrative Agent of a written notice (each such written notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or telephonic notice (followed immediately by a Notice of Borrowing) of each proposed borrowing not later than (a) in the case of a Prime Rate borrowing, 12:00 noon on the proposed date of such borrowing, and (b) in the case of a LIBO Rate borrowing, 12:00 noon at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, shall
46
be irrevocable, and shall specify the date, amount and type of borrowing and, in the case of a LIBO Rate borrowing, the initial Interest Period therefore. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M. on the date of a proposed borrowing, each Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent at the office specified by the Administrative Agent with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such borrowing and, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 with respect to such borrowing have not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall pay over the funds received by the Administrative Agent to Borrower on the requested borrowing date. Each borrowing shall be on a Business Day. Each LIBO Rate borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $2,000,000 and an integral multiple of at least $100,000. All Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, Borrower when deposited to the credit of Borrower or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of Borrower or in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6.6 Use of Proceeds.
All Loans made or Letter of Credit Accommodations provided to Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by Borrower only for general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes of Borrower not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof, including without limitation the payment of all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. None of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended.
6.7 Pro Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement: (a) the making and conversion of Loans shall be made among the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Loans and (b) each payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of Lenders in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Lenders entitled to such payments based on their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall be distributed accordingly.
6.8 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a) Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim either Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as among Agents and Lenders, to the provisions of Section 12.3(b) hereof), to offset balances held by it for the account of Borrower at any of its offices, in dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any Loans owed to such Lender or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof; provided, that, such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.
47
(b) If any Lender (including either Agent) shall obtain from Borrower or any Obligor payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Loans or more than its share of such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower or any Obligor to such Lender than the percentage thereof received by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, the amount of such excess and simultaneously purchase from such other applicable Lenders a participation in the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders of the same category of Loans shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by the applicable Lenders. To such end all applicable Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participation sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
(c) Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation (or direct interest) as provided in this Section may exercise, in a manner consistent with this Section, all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
(d) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaims or similar rights or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of Borrower or any Obligor. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such rights to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
6.9 Settlement Procedures.
(a) The amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Revolving Loans shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Revolving Loans and repayments of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent as of 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent.
48
(b) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving 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 Lender its Pro Rata Share of repayments, and (ii) each Lender shall transfer to the Administrative Agent (as provided below) or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all Revolving Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and is received prior to 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 11:00 a.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 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, equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.
(c) All payments under Section 3.3 shall be made by Borrower directly to the Lender entitled thereto without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

10.2 Remedies.
(a) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agents and Lenders shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the UCC and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by Borrower or any Obligor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Agents and Lenders hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements, the UCC or other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive, and enforceable, in Administrative Agent’s discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by Borrower or of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Administrative Agent may, in accordance with the terms hereof, at any time or times, proceed directly against Borrower or any Obligor to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to any Obligor or any of the Collateral.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, or upon the direction of Required Lenders shall, and, without limitation, (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Administrative Agent for itself and for the ratable benefit of Lenders (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h), all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable), (ii) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, direct Collateral Agent to, and Collateral Agent shall, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) require Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, to assemble and make available to Collateral Agent any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Collateral Agent, (iv) direct Collateral Agent to, and Collateral Agent shall, collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (v) direct Collateral Agent to, and Collateral Agent shall, remove any or all of
77
the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (vi) direct Collateral Agent to, and Collateral Agent shall, sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of Collateral Agent or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Collateral Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Collateral Agent having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of Borrower, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Borrower (vii) direct the Collateral Agent to conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. The Collateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor); any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor and neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Borrower shall have any interest therein; and/or (vii) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Collateral Agent upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Collateral Agent. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by Collateral Agent to Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Borrower waives any other notice. In the event any Agent institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, Borrower waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower will either, as Administrative Agent shall specify, furnish cash collateral to the LC Issuer to be used to secure and fund Agent’s reimbursement obligations to the LC Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations or furnish cash collateral to Administrative Agent for the Letter of Credit Accommodations. Such cash collateral shall be in the amount equal to one hundred ten (110%) percent of the amount of the Letter of Credit Accommodations plus the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the expiration of such Letter of Credit Accommodations.
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on any Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agents and Lenders (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by any Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against
78
Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Borrower for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agents and Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Collateral Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by any Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Borrower or to impose any duties on any Agent or any Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.
(d) For the purpose of enabling Agents to exercise the rights and remedies hereunder, Borrower hereby grants to Agents, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Borrower) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business identifiers and other Intellectual Property, general intangibles and other assets described in Section 5.2 of this Agreement, now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower, wherever the same maybe located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
(e) Administrative Agent may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by Collateral Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in such order as Administrative Agent may elect, whether or not then due. Borrower shall remain liable to Agents and Lenders for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.
(f) Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, at its option, or upon the direction of Required Lenders shall, without notice, (i) cease making Loans or arranging for Letter of Credit Accommodations or reduce the lending formulas or amounts of Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations available to Borrower and/or (ii) terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for any future Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to be made by Agents and Lenders to Borrower.

The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 12. | THE AGENTS |
12.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities.
Each Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement) irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes Xxxxx Fargo to act as both Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, respectively by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Financing Agreements, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agents (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Financing Agreements, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services); (b) shall not be responsible to Lenders (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by Borrower or any Obligor or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (c) shall not be responsible to Lenders (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) for any action taken
83
or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Agents may deem and treat the payee of any note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the assignment thereof pursuant to an agreement (if and to the extent permitted herein) in form and substance satisfactory to Agents shall have been delivered to and acknowledged by Agents.
12.2 Reliance by Agents.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Agent and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders.
12.3 Events of Default.
(a) Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default or other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, unless and until the respective Agent has received written notice from a Lender, or Borrower specifying such Event of Default or any unfulfilled condition precedent, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default or Failure of Condition”. In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a Notice of Default or Failure of Condition, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Each Agent shall (subject to Section 12.7) take such action with respect to any such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent as shall be directed by the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the existence or occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or any other failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement to the contrary, Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, continue to make Revolving Loans and issue or cause to be issued Letter of Credit Accommodations for the ratable account and risk of Lenders from time to time if Administrative Agent believes making such Revolving Loans or issuing or causing to be issued such Letter of Credit Accommodations is in the best interests of Lenders.
(b) Except with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, neither Collateral Agent nor any Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement) may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations or other Obligations, as against Borrower or any Obligor or any of the Collateral or other property of Borrower or any Obligor.
84

Xxxxx Fargo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefore to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower (and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as an Agent, and Xxxxx Fargo and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

Lenders (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) agree to indemnify Agents (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower hereunder and without limiting any obligations of Borrower hereunder) ratably, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, for any and all claims of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent (including by any Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services)) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Hedging Agreement, any Bank Product, any Cash Management Services, or any other Financing Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that each Agent is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided, that, no Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, and further provided that if no Event of Default has occurred, the Lenders shall not be obligated to reimburse the Agents for any costs incurred in connection with field examinations under Section 7.6 hereof in excess of $15,000 in any year.
12.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.
Each Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on any Agent or other Lenders, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and Obligors and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Neither Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any Obligor of any term or provision of this
85
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower or any Obligor. Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any information received by Administrative Agent from Borrower or any Obligor regarding its financial performance or the Collateral (including the collateral reports identified in Section 7.1 and the financial information delivered by the Borrower hereunder) or which is otherwise required to be provided to Lenders hereunder and with a copy of any Notice of Default or Failure of Condition received by Administrative Agent from Borrower or any Lender; provided, that, Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
12.7 Failure to Act.
Except for action expressly required of Agents hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements, each Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.5 hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
12.8 Additional Loans.
Administrative Agent shall not make any Revolving Loans or provide any Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrower on behalf of Lenders intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations would cause the aggregate amount of the total outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrower to exceed the amount of the Loans available to Borrower as of such time based on the lending formulas set forth in Section 2.1(a), without the prior consent of all Lenders, except, that, Administrative Agent may make such additional Revolving Loans or provide such additional Letter of Credit Accommodations on behalf of Lenders, intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations will cause the total outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrower to exceed the amount of the Loans available to Borrower as of such time based on the lending formulas set forth in Section 2.1(a), as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its discretion, provided, that: (a) the total principal amount of the additional Revolving Loans or additional Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrower which Administrative Agent may make or provide after obtaining such actual knowledge that the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans equal or exceed the amount of the Loans available to Borrower as of such time based on the lending formulas set forth in Section 2.1.(a) shall not exceed the amount equal to $10,000,000 outstanding at any time less the then outstanding amount of any Special Agent Advances and shall not cause the total principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to exceed the Maximum Credit and (b) without the consent of all Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not make any such additional Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations more than sixty (60) days from the date of the first such additional Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations.

86
Administrative Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any such additional Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations provided that Administrative Agent is acting in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.8.
12.9 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Financing Agreements.

Each Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) agrees that any action taken by any Agent or Required Lenders or all Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements and the exercise by any Agent or any category of Lenders of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services).
12.10 Field Audit, Examination Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by Lenders.
By signing this Agreement, each Lender:
(a) is deemed to have requested that Collateral Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report and a weekly report with respect to the amount of the Loans available to Borrower as of such time based on the lending formulas set forth in Section 2.1.(a) prepared by Collateral Agent (each field audit or examination report and weekly report with respect to the amount of the Loans available to Borrower as of such time based on the lending formulas set forth in Section 2.1.(a) being referred to herein as a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) and Borrower hereby consents to the distribution of such Reports;
(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Collateral Agent (A) does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (B) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report;
(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Collateral Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrower and the Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon Borrower’s and the Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of Borrower’s and the Subsidiaries’ personnel; and
(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use and not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner.
87
12.11 Collateral Matters.
(a) Administrative Agent may, at its option, from time to time, at any time on or after an Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing or upon any other failure of a condition precedent to the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, make such disbursements and advances (“Special Agent Advances”) which Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable either (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof (provided that in no event shall Special Agent Advances for such purpose exceed the amount equal to $10,000,000 in the aggregate outstanding at any time less the then outstanding Revolving Loans under Section 12.8 hereof) or (ii) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements consisting of costs, fees and expenses and payments to any LC Issuer of Letter of Credit Accommodations. Special Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate for Prime Rate Loans in effect after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and be secured by the Collateral. Special Agent Advances shall not constitute Loans but shall otherwise constitute Obligations hereunder. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and Borrower in writing of each such Special Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Special Agent Advance. Without limitation of its obligations pursuant to Section 6.9, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to Administrative Agent, upon Administrative Agent’s demand, in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Special Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds, on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of Administrative Agent’s demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Prime Rate Loans.
(b) Lenders (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) hereby irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent, to release any security interest in, mortgage or lien upon, any of the Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations and delivery of cash collateral to the extent required under Section 13.1 below, or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 9.7 or 9.16 hereof (and Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) constituting property in which Borrower or any Obligor did not own an interest at the time the security interest, mortgage or lien was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the applicable Lenders pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof. Except as provided above, Collateral Agent will not release any security interest in, mortgage or lien upon, any of the Collateral without the prior written authorization of the applicable Lenders pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof.
(c) Without any manner limiting Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services), each Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) agrees to
88
confirm in writing, upon request by Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon Collateral Agent under this Section and in Section 11.3(d) hereof. Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the security interest, mortgage or liens granted to Collateral Agent upon any Collateral to the extent set forth above and in Section 11.3(d) hereof; provided, that, (i) Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in either Agent’s opinion, would expose Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such security interest, mortgage or liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any security interest, mortgage or lien upon (or obligations of Borrower or any Obligor in respect of) the Collateral retained by Borrower or such Obligor.
(d) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any Obligor or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the liens and security interests granted to Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Financing Agreements or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Collateral Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, subject to the prior consent of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that, subject to acting in accordance with the consent of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender.
12.12 Agency for Perfection.
Each Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement) and Administrative Agent hereby appoints Collateral Agent and each other Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement) and Agent as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral of Collateral Agent in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and each Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) and Agent hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of any such Collateral for the benefit of Collateral Agent as secured party. Should any Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or
89
provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services) shall notify Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Collateral Agent or in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions.
12.13 Successor Agent.
Either Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior consent of each other Agent, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and other Agents and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders (including any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement), appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within 30 days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such resigning Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Any successor Agent appointed by Required Lenders and Agents hereunder shall be subject to the approval of Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.
12.14 Hedging Agreements; Bank Products; Cash Management Services.
Each Lender agrees that in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement with Borrower or as the provider of any Bank Products or Cash Management Services to the Borrower, it shall not be deemed to have any rights as a Lender hereunder except for the right to receive proceeds of Collateral, as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement, or provider of Bank Products and Cash Management Services in the order and manner set forth in Section 6.4(a) hereof. Each Lender further agrees that Administrative Agent shall have no duties to a Lender hereunder in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement, or as a provider of Bank Products or Cash Management Services, other than in respect of such Lender’s entitlements to proceeds of Collateral, as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or provider of Bank Products
90
and Cash Management Services, in the order and manner set forth in Section 6.4(a) hereof. Nothing in this Section 12.14 is intended to diminish or otherwise alter any Lender’s rights, or either Agent’s duties to such Lender, under this Agreement as to Lender in its capacity as a Lender hereunder.
12.15 Defaulting 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 Pro Rata Share of any Loans, expenses or setoff or purchase its Pro Rata Share of a participation interest in the Swing Line Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations and such failure is not cured within one (1) Business Day after receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agents, the other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Obligations, this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to vote or consent on any matter pursuant to Section 11.3 and its Loans and Commitments shall be excluded from the calculation of Required Lenders, and (ii) a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower and Obligors, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-Defaulting 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 Pro Rata Shares 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, and/or (iii) at the option of the Administrative Agent, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loan or existing or future participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation. The Defaulting 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 Defaulting Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any Obligations, any participation obligation, or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.
(b) The non-Defaulting 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 Defaulting Lender for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right), of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans. Upon any such purchase of the Pro Rata Share of any Defaulting Lender, the Defaulting Lender’s share in future Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations and its rights under the Financing Agreements with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. Any assignment of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments shall be made in accordance with Section 13.6.
91
(c) If any Lender is a Deteriorating Lender or a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its 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, and consents required by, Section 13.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Financing Agreements to an Eligible Transferee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Transferee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations owed to such Lender, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements from the Eligible Transferee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law, and (iii) to the extent that such Eligible Transferee is not a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(d) Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each non-Defaulting 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-Defaulting Lender, on account of a Defaulting Lender’s failure to timely fund its Pro Rata Share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Financing Agreements.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
Administrative Agent for itself and the Lenders as referred to below
One Boston Place, 19th Floor
Boston, Massachusetts 02109
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”) and as Collateral Agent, in each case, for itself and the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders (collectively, “Lenders”), the Lenders, and Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. (the “Borrower”), as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced (the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
Pursuant to such financing arrangements, Administrative Agent and Lenders may from time to time make loans to Borrower secured by substantially all of the assets and properties of Borrower including among other things, all right, title and interest of Borrower in, to and under the swap agreements, cap agreements, collar agreements, exchange agreements, futures or forward hedging contracts or similar contractual arrangements intended to protect Borrower against fluctuations in interest rates as listed on Exhibit A hereto, and at any time entered into between Borrower and (the “Bank”; collectively, “Hedge Agreements” and individually, a “Hedge Agreement”).
Bank and Borrower agree in favor of Agents and Lenders that upon receipt by Bank of written instructions from Administrative Agent in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B, Bank will no longer comply with any instructions or orders originated by Borrower or any of its affiliates or representatives concerning any Hedge Agreement and will comply only with the instructions or orders of Administrative Agent with respect thereto, without any further consent by Borrower or its affiliates or representatives. Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to follow such instructions or orders without any inquiry as to Administrative Agent’s right or authority to give such instructions or orders and Bank is fully protected in acting in accordance therewith. Bank shall not for any reason exercise any lien rights or rights of setoff or other claims against amounts owing to Borrower pursuant to Hedge Agreements, without the prior consent of Administrative Agent. Upon Administrative Agent’s request, Bank will report to Administrative Agent the amounts then outstanding with respect to the Hedge Agreements consistent with its current practices as of the date hereof with Borrowers or more frequently as Administrative Agent may request after Administrative Agent has sent the written instructions referred to above, together with such other information with respect thereto as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
1xxvi
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as an assumption by Administrative Agent or any Lender of the obligations or liabilities of Borrower or any of its affiliates to Bank or any other person pursuant to any Hedge Agreement or otherwise. Bank agrees that in its capacity as a counterparty to the Hedge Agreement, it shall not be deemed to have any rights as a “Lender” under the Loan Agreement except for the right to receive proceeds of Collateral, as a counterparty to the Hedge Agreement, in the order and manner set forth in Section 6.4(a) of the Loan Agreement. Bank further aggress that Administrative Agent has no duties to Bank under the Loan Agreement in its capacity as a counterparty to the Hedge Agreement other than in respect of Bank’s entitlement to proceeds of Collateral, as a counterparty to the Hedge Agreement, in the order and manner set forth in Section 6.4(a) of the Loan Agreement. To the extent Bank is also a “Lender” under the Loan Agreement, nothing in the preceding two sentences is intended to diminish or otherwise alter Bank’s rights, or Administrative Agent’s duties to Bank, under the Loan Agreement as to Bank in its capacity as a “Lender” thereunder.
Administrative Agent and Lenders are relying upon this letter agreement in providing financing to Borrower and this letter agreement shall be binding upon Borrower and its successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and their successors and assigns. This agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated orally or by course of conduct or otherwise. This agreement may only be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated with the written agreement of Administrative Agent.
Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claims against the Bank as counterparty to the Hedge Agreement solely as a result of Bank following the instructions or orders of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to any Hedge Agreement.
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.
This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement. In making proof of this agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart thereof signed by each of the parties hereto.

Investments are restricted to short-term investments as defined in the policy and as determined by Ulta’s Treasury department in accordance with this policy.
The investment portfolio will have an average maturity of 9 months or less and a maximum maturity of 18 months for any single investment.
No single investment shall be made in excess of 25% of the portfolio up to a maximum of $50 million U.S. equivalent with any single institution, or with any combination of institutions under common ownership. The only exceptions to the guidelines are balances that are 100% FDIC insured and overnight Commercial Paper Sweep investments made through the banks in revolving credit agreement.

The following instruments are approved for investment. It may become necessary, from time to time, to add instruments in response to changing market conditions.
• | Bank Deposits (MMDA, DDA) |
• | Domestic Certificates of Deposit |
• | Domestic Commercial Paper (Rated A1/P1) |
• | Bankers’ Acceptances |
• | U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes |
• | Collateralized Repurchase Agreements |
• | Eurodollar Time Deposits |
Investment Requirements
• | Active investments with outside money managers are prohibited. |
• | To minimize foreign exchange exposure, all investments must be denominated in U.S. dollars. |

• | Issuing corporations must have a commercial paper rating of P-1 or better by Moody’s Investor Services and A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized rating agency (at least two ratings are required). |
Any exceptions to the above must be approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

• | The market value of any investment instrument drops below 90% of the amortized value. |
• | The market value of the total portfolio drops below 90% of the total cost value. |

The Treasury staff shall prepare weekly performance reports and deliver a monthly report to the Chief Financial Officer. An annual report to the Board of Directors detailing the investment portfolio’s composition and performance will be provided.
Segregation of Duties
For the purpose of cash management and investment, Ulta’s policy is to ensure that the following internal controls are in place to maintain adequate segregation of duties:
• | The separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping. |
3 | Confidential Information Do Not Distribute Outside of ULTA |
• | The separation of wire transfer and investment transaction duties. Non-repetitive wire transfers must be approved by a party outside the investment management process (excluding overnight investments). |
• | The separation of record keeping with the reconciliation of company transactions with those reported by the third party custodian. |
The Treasury staff shall have responsibility and authority over internal controls; however, controls may be removed only with the written consent of the Chief Financial Officer.
Internal Controls
In addition to the segregation of duties controls, Ulta’s policy must ensure that the following internal controls are enforced:
• | A monthly reconciliation of investment statements to the general ledger accounts shall be performed and the results delivered to the Chief Financial Officer and the Director of Treasury Services. |
• | All brokers and custodians must carry adequate liability and crime coverage. |
Questions
Questions or issues regarding the interpretation or implementation of this policy should be directed to the Director of Treasury Services.

Re: | Security Agreement – Assignment of Credit Card Receivables |
Dear Sir/Madam:
ULTA SALON, COSMETICS & FRAGRANCE, INC. (the “Company”) has recently entered into a new credit facility with WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as agent for certain lenders (the “Secured Party”). In accordance with the terms of that credit facility, the Company granted to Secured Party a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s now owned or hereafter acquired personal property, including, without limitation, all rights of the Company to receive payments in respect of credit or charge card sales (“Card Sales”) processed or otherwise paid by [Name of Credit Card Processor] (the “Processor”) to the Company pursuant to that certain [Title of Credit Card Processing Agreement] between the Processor and the Company in effect as of the date hereof (the “Agreement”).
Pursuant to the facility, the Company has assigned to Secured Party the right to receive payments with respect to all Card Sales and to otherwise directly collect all amounts due to the Company from the Processor. In furtherance thereof, the Company is obligated to arrange for the proceeds of Card Sales to be routed by the Processor to a deposit account under the control of the Secured Party, as opposed to the account routing instructions that are presently in place. Accordingly, by this letter the Company and the Secured Party instruct the Processor to immediately begin routing all proceeds of Card Sales and any other amounts due to the Company from the Processor to the following deposit account (the “Account”):
[Name of Bank]
[Bank’s Address]
ABA #
For Credit to the Account of: [Name of Debtor]
Account No.
All payments under the Agreement should continue to be made to the Account and to no other account unless and until you receive written notification from Secured Party.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth herein, all of the terms of the Agreement continue to be in full force and effect.
The Company and the Secured Party appreciate the Processor’s anticipated cooperation and assistance in effectuating this change. Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the Company or the Secured Party at the contact information below.
