Section 3.

Guaranteed Amount and Other Payments

3.1Payments to Merchant and Agent.

(a) Provided the Approval Order is entered no later than December 24, 2014, as a guaranty of Agent’s performance hereunder, in addition to the payment of Expenses (as provided for in Section 4.1 hereof), Agent guarantees that Merchant shall receive an amount (the “Guaranteed Amount”) equal to the following: (a) ninety-one percent (91%) (the “Guaranty Percentage”) of the aggregate Cost Value of Merchandise. The Guaranteed Amount will be calculated based upon the product of (x) the Guaranty Percentagemultiplied by (y) the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise included in the Sale as determined by (A) the Final Inventory Report at the conclusion of the Inventory Taking by the Inventory Taking Service after written verification and reconciliation thereof by Agent and Merchant, in consultation with Lender and, the Committee, (B) the aggregate Cost Value of the Distribution Center Merchandise included in the Distribution Center Shipments, (C) the aggregate Cost Value of Merchandise sold during of the Gross Rings Period (as adjusted for shrinkage per this Agreement), (D) the aggregate Cost Value of In-Transit Merchandise included in the Sale; and (E) the aggregate Cost Value of Returned Merchandise (not otherwise included in the Inventory Taking). Agent shall pay to Merchant (or its designee) the Guaranteed Amount in the manner and at the times specified in Section 3.3 below.

(b) The Guaranteed Percentage has been fixed based upon the Merchant’s representation that (i) the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise (other than Direct Business Merchandise) is not less than $13.95 million (the “Retail Merchandise Threshold”) and not greater than $14.35 million (the “Retail Merchandise Ceiling”) and (ii) the aggregate Cost Value of the Direct Business Merchandise is not less than $4.782 million (the “Direct Merchandise Threshold”) and not greater than $4.882 million (the “Direct Merchandise Ceiling”);provided,that, solely for purposes of determining whether the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise (other than Direct Business Merchandise) included in the Sale is less than the applicable Merchandise Threshold, no adjustment shall be made to the applicable Cost Value to account for the effect of any Prevailing Discount Adjustment (applied to Distribution Center Merchandise, In-Transfer Merchandise and/or Returned Merchandise) or Excluded Pricing Adjustment. To the extent that the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise (other than Direct Business Merchandise) included in the Sale is less than the Retail Merchandise Threshold or greater than the Retail Merchandise Ceiling, then such deviation shall not constitute a breach of any representation or warranty, or an Event of Default;provided,however,that, the Guaranty Percentage shall be adjusted in accordance withExhibit 3.1(b) attached hereto. In addition, to the extent that the aggregate Cost Value of the

Direct Business Merchandise included in the Sale is less than the Direct Merchandise Threshold or greater than the Direct Merchandise Ceiling, then such deviation shall not constitute a breach of any representation or warranty, or an Event of Default;provided,however,that, the Guaranty Percentage shall be adjusted in accordance withExhibit 3.1(b) attached hereto. Any adjustment to the Guaranty Percentage provided for under this Section 3.1(b) shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any other adjustment provided for under this Section 3.1(b) and otherwise in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any adjustment provided for under Exhibit 3.1(d) hereof.

(c) To the extent that Proceeds exceed the sum of (x) the Guaranteed Amount, plus (y) Expenses of the Sale, plus (z)(i) an amount equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise included in the Sale and (ii) eight percent (8.0%) of the aggregate Proceeds attributable to the sale of the Additional Agent Merchandise included in the Sale (the aggregate of (z)(i) and (ii) being collectively defined as the “Agent’s Fee”; and the sum of (x), (y) and (z) being collectively defined as the “Sharing Threshold”), then all remaining Proceeds of the Sale above the Sharing Threshold shall be shared fifty percent (50%) to Merchant (Merchant’s share of Proceeds beyond the Sharing Threshold is the “Sharing Amount”) and fifty percent (50%) to Agent. Agent shall pay the Sharing Amount, if any, to Merchant (or its designee), on the first business day after the completion of the Final Reconciliation conducted pursuant to Section 8.7(b) and shall remit such payment to the Merchant’s Designated Account.

(d) The Guaranty Percentage has also been fixed based upon the assumption that the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise included in the Sale as a percentage of Retail Price of the Merchandise included in the Sale (without taking into account any Prevailing Discount Adjustment (applied to Distribution Center Merchandise, In-Transfer Merchandise and/or Returned Merchandise) and/or Excluded Price Adjustments) (the “Cost Factor”) attributable to the Merchandise, excluding the Direct Business Merchandise, shall not be greater than twenty-seven and three-quarters of one percent (27.75%) (the “Store/DC Merchandise Cost Factor Threshold”), and the Cost Factor attributable to the Direct Business Merchandise included in the Sale shall not be greater than thirty-four and seventh-tenths of one percent (34.7%) (the “Direct Business Merchandise Cost Factor Threshold” and with the Store/DC Merchandise Cost Factor Threshold, as applicable the “Cost Factor Threshold”). In the event that the Cost Factor for the Merchandise (other than the Direct Business Merchandise) is greater than the Store/DC Merchandise Cost Factor Threshold, then such deviation shall not constitute a breach of any representation or warranty, or an Event of Default;provided,however,that, the Guaranty Percentage shall be adjusted in accordance withExhibit 3.1(d) attached hereto. In addition, in the event that the Cost Factor for the Direct Business Merchandise is greater than the Direct Business Merchandise Cost Factor Threshold, then such deviation shall not constitute a breach of any representation or warranty, or an Event of Default;provided,however,that, the Guaranty Percentage shall be adjusted in accordance withExhibit 3.1(d) attached hereto. Any adjustment to the Guaranty Percentage provided for under this Section 3.1(d) shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any other adjustment provided for under this Section 3.1(d) and otherwise in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any adjustment provided for under Exhibit 3.1(b) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Retail Price” means, with respect to each item of Merchandise, the lowest of the lowest ticketed price, determined as of the Sale Commencement Date, “Style Chain Current

Retail” as reflected on the Cost File, other file price, marked price, shelf price, hang-tag price, stickered price, PLU price, or other hard-marked price, excluding Excluded Price Adjustments;provided,however, that, with respect to Aged Merchandise, the “Retail Price” shall be the lower of (x) the Retail Price as determined in accordance with the sentence to which this proviso is attached; or (y) the original retail price for such item of Aged Merchandise, multiplied by (y) fifty percent (50%). For purposes of calculating Retail Price, if an item of Merchandise has more than one ticketed price, “Style Chain Current Retail” as reflected on the Cost File, other file price, marked price, shelf price, hang-tag price, stickered price, PLU price, or other hard-marked price, or if multiple items of the same SKU have different ticketed, “Style Chain Current Retail” as reflected on the Cost, other file, marked, shelf, hang-tag, stickered, PLU, or other hard-marked prices and such pricing does not otherwise qualify as an Excluded Price Adjustment, the lowest ticketed price, “Style Chain Current Retail” as reflected on the Cost File, other file price, marked price, shelf price, hang-tag price, stickered price, PLU price, or other hard-marked price on any such item shall prevail for such item or for all such items within the same SKU, as the case may be, that are located within the same location (as the case may be, the “Lowest Location Price”), unless it is reasonably determined by Merchant or Agent that the applicable Lowest Location Price was mismarked, normal course markdowns had not been reflected or taken, or such item was priced because it was damaged or marked as “as is,” in which case the correct price shall control;provided,however, in determining the Lowest Location Price with respect to any item of Merchandise at a Store or Distribution Centers, the Lowest Location Price shall be determined based upon the lowest Retail Price for such item on a per location basis. No adjustment to Retail Price shall be made with respect to different Retail Prices for items located in different locations.

(ii) “Excluded Price Adjustments” means the following discounts or price adjustments offered by the Merchant by any means: (i) point of sale discounts or similar adjustments regardless of duration; (ii) employee discounts; (iii) member or customer appreciation points or coupons; (iv) multi-unit purchase discounts; (v) adjustments for damaged, defective or “as-is”” items; (vi) coupons (Merchant’s or competitors’) or similar type coupons/promotions, “groupons”, catalog, website, or circular prices, or “buy one get one” type discounts, or similar type discounts or promotions; (vii) customer savings pass discounts or “bounce back” coupons, or discounts for future purchases based on dollar value of past purchases; (viii) obvious ticketing or marking errors; (ix) instant (in-store) or mail in rebates; or (x) similar customer specific, temporary, or employee non-product specific discounts or pricing accommodations.

(e) To ensure accurate sales audit functions, Agent shall use Merchant’s existing point-of-sale system for recording all sales of Merchandise (including any sales of Additional Agent Merchandise) in the Stores and through the Direct Business Platform, all of Merchant’s existing systems for recording all sales (including sales of any Additional Agent Merchandise).

3.2Payments to Agent. Subject to Agent’s obligation to pay in full the Guaranteed Amount, and all Expenses, Agent shall be entitled to the Agent’s Fee and, if applicable, Agent’s share of Proceeds in excess of the Sharing Threshold. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and continues to exist on the part of Agent, all Merchandise and Additional Agent Merchandise remaining at the conclusion of the Sale (“Remaining Merchandise”) shall become the property of Agent, free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances of any kind or nature.

Agent and its affiliates shall be authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Remaining Merchandise and MOOS Inventory with all logos, brand names, and other intellectual property on the Merchandise and MOOS Inventory intact, and shall be authorized to advertise the sale of the Remaining Merchandise and MOOS Inventory using Merchant’s name and logo.

3.3Time of Payments; Proceeds; Control of Proceeds

(a) During the Interim Sale Period, as part of each weekly reconciliation as provided for in Section 8.7(a), Merchant shall collect all of the Proceeds (the “Interim Sale Proceeds”) and (x) all Interim Sale Proceeds shall first be applied to the payment of Expenses that are incurred during the Interim Sale Period and become due and owing (collectively, the “Interim Sale Period Expenses”) and (y) all remaining Interim Sale Proceeds after payment of Interim Sale Period Expenses (the “Unapplied Interim Sale Proceeds”) shall be retained and applied by Merchant against the Guaranteed Amount (collectively, the “Interim Guaranty Installments”) until the earlier of (i) receipt by Merchant of the balance of the Estimated Guaranteed Amount, or (ii) entry of the Approval Order. On the first business day after entry of the Approval Order (the “Payment Date”), Agent shall pay to Merchant an amount equal to the difference between (i) eighty percent (80%) of the Estimated Guaranteed Amount (as defined below) (the “Initial Guaranty Payment”); and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Interim Guaranty Installments retained by Merchant (with such differential being the “Remaining Initial Guaranty Payment”). The Estimated Guaranteed Amount shall be calculated by taking product of (x) the Guaranty Percentagemultiplied by (y) the estimated aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise to be included in the Sale (inclusive of Direct Business Merchandise), excluding any amounts attributable to In-Transit Merchandise, if applicable) as reflected on Merchant’s books and records at the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Sale Commencement Date (the “Estimated Guaranteed Amount”). On the Payment Date, the Remaining Initial Guaranty Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated onExhibit 3.3(a) attached hereto (the “Merchant’s Designated Account”). The balance of the Guaranteed Amount (including any amounts attributable to In-Transit Merchandise not otherwise paid for or attributable to the inclusion of the Direct Business Merchandise in the Sale), shall be paid by Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Merchant’s Designated Account on the earlier of: (x) the second business day following the issuance of the final report of the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise counted by the Inventory Taking Service following the completion of the Inventory Taking, after review, reconciliation and mutual written verification thereof by Agent and Merchant, in consultation with Lender (the “Final Inventory Report”); (y) the date that is thirty (30) days after the Sale Commencement Date (in the case of (y) above, Agent shall tender payment of the undisputed portion only on account of any remaining portion of the Guaranteed Amount). With respect to the Direct Business Merchandise, the balance of the Guaranteed Amount shall be paid as part of the Final Reconciliation. In the event of a dispute as to the calculation of the portion of the Guaranteed Amount, any such dispute shall be resolved in the manner and at the times set forth in 8.7(b)(ii) hereof, and Agent’s failure to pay such balance or undisputed portion shall entitle the Merchant and the Lender (individually or collectively) to draw upon the Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3.3(g) hereof to the extent of such balance or undisputed portion. Merchant and Agent shall exercise reasonable best efforts to reconcile the Inventory Taking within ten (10) days after its completion. In the event that the Initial Guaranty Payment is either less than or exceeds the Guaranteed Amount, as applicable,

Agent or Merchant, as the case may be, shall pay to Merchant or Agent, as the case may be, the amount (the “Adjustment Amount”) by which the actual Guaranteed Amount exceeds or is less than the sum of the Initial Guaranty Payment.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Proceeds” shall mean the aggregate of (i) the total amount (in dollars) of all sales of Merchandise in the Stores and/or through the Direct Business Platform provided for in Section 8.10 hereof; (ii) all service revenue received by Merchant from the Stores and/or through the Direct Business Platform (if applicable), in each case during the Sale Term and exclusive of Sales Taxes; (iii) the total amount (in dollars) of all sales of Additional Agent Merchandise (exclusive of Sales Taxes); (iv) all proceeds of Merchant’s insurance for loss or damage to Merchandise arising from events occurring during the Sale Term relating to the Merchandise and Additional Agent Merchandise; (v) all amounts received from customers or other third parties on account of postage, overnight delivery or other shipping charges related to the delivery of Merchandise and Additional Agent Merchandise to the consumers; and (vi) any and all proceeds received by Agent from the disposition of Remaining Merchandise.

Without limiting the foregoing, Merchant shall cooperate with Agent to download data from all credit card terminals each day during the Sale Term to effect settlement with Merchant’s credit card processor(s), and shall take such other actions necessary to process credit card transactions on behalf of Agent under Merchant’s identification number(s). At Agent’s request, Merchant shall cooperate with Agent to establish Merchant’s identification numbers under Agent’s name to enable Agent to process all such credit card Proceeds (and proceeds from Additional Agent Merchandise) for Agent’s own account. Merchant shall not be responsible for,

and Agent shall pay as an Expense hereunder, all credit card fees, charges, and chargebacks related to Merchandise and Additional Agent Merchandise sold during the Sale, whether received during or after the Sale Term.

(iv) Commencing on the first business day following the Payment Date, and continuing on each business day thereafter, Merchant shall promptly pay to Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds all funds constituting Proceeds (including, without limitation, Proceeds from credit card sales), and proceeds from Additional Agent Merchandise that are deposited into the Designated Deposit Accounts for the prior day. Agent shall, within a reasonable period of time after the date of each such payment by Merchant, notify Merchant and Lender of any shortfall in such payment, in which case, Merchant shall promptly pay to Agent funds in the amount of any undisputed shortfall.

(c) Merchant and Agent further agree that if at any time during the Sale Term, (i) Agent holds any amounts due to Merchant under this Agreement, Agent may, in its discretion, after two (2) business days’ notice to Merchant, offset such amounts being held by Agent against any undisputed amounts due and owing by, or required to be paid by, Merchant hereunder, and (ii) Merchant holds any amounts due to Agent under this Agreement, Merchant may, in its discretion, after two (2) business days’ notice to Agent, offset such amounts being held by Merchant against any undisputed amounts due and owing by, or required to be paid by, Agent hereunder.

In the event that the date on which any such payment is due is not a business day, then such payment shall be made by wire transfer on the next business day.

(e) Upon Agent’s failure to timely pay (i) the Adjustment Amount in the event the Guaranteed Amount exceeds the Initial Guaranty Payment, (ii) Expenses, or (iii) other undisputed amounts due by Agent under this Agreement, Lender or Merchant, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediately draw upon the Letter of Credit to the extent of such undisputed amount.

(f) If, and to the extent, the Agent over-funds any amounts in respect of the Guaranteed Amount or the MOOS Guaranteed Amount hereunder (as determined pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement) and such funding or payment cannot be recovered by the Agent from Merchant under Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(c), by means of an offset or otherwise, then Merchant agrees (or if Merchant shall be unable to or otherwise for any reason fails to, and Salus Capital Partners, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Lender”), has received such funding or payment, the Lender agrees) to reimburse such undisputed amount of such overfunded amount to Agent within two (2) business days of written demand thereof by Agent.

(g)Guaranty Security.

In the event that Agent fails to timely pay any undisputed amount hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Amount, the MOOS Guaranteed Amount, Expenses and/or other amounts due to Merchant, as required under this Agreement, Merchant shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit to fund such undisputed amount or obligation after five (5) business days’ written notice to Agent. Merchant and Agent agree that, from time to time upon Agent’s request, the face amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of payments made by Agent on account of the Guaranteed Amount and MOOS Guaranteed Amount;provided,however, until the Final Reconciliation has been completed, under no circumstances shall the face amount of the Letter of Credit be reduced to an amount less than two (2) weeks’ estimated Expenses (and Merchant and Lender shall cooperate with respect to each such request). The Letter of Credit shall expire no earlier than sixty (60) days after the Sale Termination Date;providedthat, if, as of the tenth (10^th) business day prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Letter of Credit, there remains any unresolved dispute as to the Guaranteed Amount and MOOS Guaranteed Amount, Expenses and/or other amounts due to Merchant under this Agreement, Agent shall cause the expiration date of the Letter of Credit to be extended for successive thirty (30) day intervals (or such other longer duration as Merchant and Agent may agree) until the subject dispute has been resolved and any additional amounts due hereunder on account of the Guaranteed Amount, Expenses and/or other amounts due to Merchant, have been paid to Merchant.

All sales will be made only for cash or nationally recognized credit and debit cards. Agent shall accept and honor coupons during the Sale Term, if any, as well as groupons and Merchant’s employee discount terms as are in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the Sale Term. Merchant shall reimburse Agent in cash for all amounts related to coupons, as well as groupons and Merchant’s employee discount terms, during each weekly sale reconciliation provided for in Section 8.7;providedthat, Merchant shall only be obligated to reimburse Agent for Merchant’s coupons, as well as groupons and Merchant’s employee discount terms, honored by Agent during the first thirty (30) days of the Sale.

8.3Sales Taxes. (a) During the Sale Term, all sales, excise, gross receipts, and other taxes attributable to sales of Merchandise, Additional Agent Merchandise, Merchant Consignment Goods, and/or Owned FF&E as indicated on Merchant’s point of sale equipment (other than taxes

on income, but specifically including, without limitation, gross receipts taxes) payable to any taxing authority having jurisdiction (collectively, “Sales Taxes”) shall be added to the sales price of Merchandise, Additional Agent Merchandise, Merchant Consignment Goods, and/or Owned FF&E and collected by Agent in trust for Merchant at time of sale and paid over to Merchant. All Sales Taxes shall be deposited into a segregated account designated by Merchant and Agent solely for the deposit of such Sales Taxes (the “Sales Taxes Account”). If Agent does not timely remit Sales Taxes to Merchant, Merchant shall be permitted to immediately draw on the Letter of Credit in the full amount of Sales Taxes collected by Agent in the preceding week. Provided that Agent has collected all Sales Taxes during the Sale and remitted the proceeds thereof to Merchant, Merchant shall promptly pay all Sales Taxes and file all applicable reports and documents required by the applicable taxing authorities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Agent shall reimburse Merchant for any additional Sales Taxes, interest, fines, penalties, and similar amounts payable to any taxing authority as the result of a Sales Tax audit conducted by or on behalf of such authority which discloses that the Sales Taxes collected by Agent and paid over to Merchant for any period during the Sale Term were less than those mandated by applicable law for the sale of Merchandise, Additional Agent Merchandise, Merchant Consignment Goods, and/or Owned FF&E, if any, that is sold by Agent under this Agreement (any such additional Sales Taxes and other amounts are collectively referred to herein as “Additional Taxes and Penalties”). Merchant will be given access to the computation of gross receipts for verification of all such Sales Tax collections. Agent shall add Sales Tax to the sales price of all Additional Agent Merchandise sold and Agent shall collect Sales Taxes attributable to the sales of Additional Agent Merchandise and deposit such amounts into existing accounts, trust accounts, or other accounts designated by Agent, for remittance by Merchant, on behalf of Agent, to the appropriate taxing authority.

Provided that Agent performs its responsibilities in accordance with this Section 8.3, Agent shall have no further obligation to the Merchant, the Lender, any taxing authority, or any other party, and Merchant (and Lender to the extent it has received any funds on account of Sales Taxes) shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Supervisors (collectively, “Agent Indemnified Parties”) from and against all claims, demands, assessments, penalties, losses, liability or damage, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, directly or indirectly asserted against, resulting from or related to the failure by Merchant to promptly pay such taxes to the proper taxing authorities and/or the failure by Merchant to promptly file with such taxing authorities all reports and other documents required by applicable law to be filed with or delivered to such taxing authorities.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.3(a) hereof, the Parties agree that because Agent will conduct the Sale solely as agent for Merchant, the various payments that this Agreement contemplates (including the payment by Agent of the Guaranteed Amount) do not represent the sale of tangible personal property and, accordingly, are not subject to Sales Taxes.

8.4Supplies. Agent shall have the right to use all existing supplies necessary to conduct the Sale (e.g., boxes, bags, and twine, but not gift certificates, rain checks, merchandise credits, or the like) located at the Stores and/or the Distribution Centers and in connection with the Direct Business Platform at no charge to Agent. In the event that additional supplies are required in any of the Stores or the Direct Business Platform, during the Sale Term, the acquisition of such additional supplies shall be the responsibility of Agent as an Expense;provided,however, that if reasonably requested by Agent, Merchant shall assist Agent in obtaining supplies, at Agent’s expense, from Merchant’s vendors at Merchant’s usual and customary costs for such supplies. Merchant does not warrant that Merchant’s existing supplies as of the Sale Commencement Date are adequate for purposes of the Sale.

8.5Returns of Merchandise.

Merchant shall reimburse Agent in cash or credit against the following week’s payment for the amount of any store credit or refund given to any customer in respect of Returned Merchandise. To the extent Returned Merchandise is salable as first quality merchandise, it shall be included in Merchandise and for purposes of the calculation of the Guaranteed Amount and shall be as follows: (i) to the extent that such item of Returned Merchandise is received during the first fourteen (14) days following the Sale Commencement Date, at the Cost Value and Retail Price provided for above applicable to such item; and (ii) to the extent that such item of Returned Merchandise is received during the period between the 15^th day following the Sale Commencement Date and the 30^th day following the Sale Commencement Date, at a value equal to the product of (x) the applicable Cost Value and Retail Price attributable to such item as provided for above, multiplied by (y) the Prevailing Discount Adjustment applicable to such item. Subject to Merchant’s reimbursement to Agent of the amount of any store credit or refund granted for any such Returned Merchandise, the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise and the Guaranteed Amount shall be adjusted accordingly. If the Returned Merchandise is not first quality goods, Merchant and Agent shall negotiate in good faith to determine an appropriate Cost Value applicable to such merchandise for purposes of determining the Cost Value attributable thereto;providedthat, in the event Merchant and Agent cannot agree on the Cost Value to be attributed to any particular item(s) of Returned Merchandise, then such item(s) shall be segregated form Merchandise and excluded from the Sale and treated as Excluded Defective Merchandise for all purposes hereunder. Any reimbursements due to Agent as a result of Returned Merchandise shall be accounted for and paid by Merchant immediately following the weekly Sale reconciliation pursuant to Section 8.7(a) hereof.

Section 15.

Fixtures.

(a) In partial consideration, and as a material component of the payment of the Guaranteed Amount, with respect to any furniture, fixtures and equipment (including, but not limited to (i) machinery, rolling stock, office equipment, computers, servers, and hardware used or utilized in connection with or associated with the Direct Business Platform, and personal property owned by Merchant and located at the Stores or Merchant’s corporate offices and, solely with respect to computers, servers, and hardware used or utilized in connection with or associated with the Direct Business Platform, at the Distribution Centers; and (ii) such other items in the file entitled “FF&E Assets” provided by Merchant to Agent (exclusive in all instances of Owned DC FF&E referenced in such file (collectively, the “Owned FF&E”), Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to sell the Owned FF&E for Agent’s sole and exclusive benefit and at Agent’s sole cost and expense (other than rent and other occupancy expenses associated with the corporate office, which amounts shall be paid by Merchant);provided,further, that, in that regard, Agent shall be entitled to retain all proceeds (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not constitute Proceeds or Asset Proceeds) from the sale or other disposition of the Owned FF&E, and Agent shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses associated with the sale or other disposition of the Owned FF&E (other than rent and other occupancy expenses associated with the corporate office, which amounts shall be paid by Merchant). In addition, with respect to furniture, fixtures and equipment (including, but not limited to, machinery, rolling stock, office equipment, conveyors, racking, and personal property (other than computers, servers, and hardware used or utilized in connection with or associated with the Direct Business Platform) owned by Merchant and located at the Distribution Centers (collectively without the computers, servers, and hardware used or utilized in connection with or associated with the Direct Business Platform, the “Owned DC FF&E”)), if Merchant requests and at Merchant’s election (in consultation with the Lender and the Committee) (the “DC FF&E Sale Option”), Agent shall either (i) sell the Owned DC FF&E strictly on a commission basis (the “DC FF&E Commission Option”), or (ii) sell the Owned DC FF&E on a guaranteed fee basis (the “DC FF&E Guaranty Option”);providedthat, the DC FF&E Guaranty Option shall be subject to the Merchant (in consultation with the Lender and the Committee) and Agent agreeing on a mutually acceptable Owned DC FF&E/asset listing and DC FF&E Guaranty Amount (as defined below). Merchant (in consultation with the Lender and

the Committee) shall exercise the aforementioned Owned FF&E Sale Option by written notice to Agent. In the event Merchant elects the DC FF&E Commission Option, Agent shall be entitled to receive a commission equal to twenty percent (20%) of the gross proceeds from the sale of such Owned DC FF&E (“Agent’s DC FF&E Commission”);provided,however, in such case Merchant shall be responsible for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the disposition of the Owned DC FF&E (“DC FF&E Disposition Expenses”) in accordance with a budget to be mutually agreed upon between Merchant (in consultation with the Lender and the Committee) and Agent (“DC FF&E Disposition Budget”), and all proceeds realized from the disposition of the Owned DC FF&E, after deduction of applicable sales taxes, Agent’s DC FF&E Commission, and the DC FF&E Disposition Expenses (collectively, the “Net DC FF&E Proceeds”), shall be paid to Lender, as Merchant’s designee to the extent that the Lender has not been paid in full. In the event Merchant (in consultation with the Committee) elects the DC FF&E Guaranty Option, Agent shall pay Merchant a lump sum payment in an amount to be agreed upon between Agent and Merchant, in consultation with Lender and the Committee (hereinafter, the “DC FF&E Guaranty Amount”), in which case all costs and expenses associated with the disposition of Owned DC FF&E (other than rent and other occupancy expenses associated with the Distribution Centers, which amounts shall be paid by Merchant) shall be borne by Agent, and all proceeds realized from the sale or other disposition of the Owned DC FF&E (after payment of the applicable DC FF&E Guaranty Amount and net of any applicable sales taxes) shall be retained by Agent for its sole and exclusive benefit and shall not constitute Proceeds or Asset Sale Proceeds.

(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent shall be authorized to abandon any and all unsold Owned FF&E or Owned DC FF&E (and all other furniture, fixtures, and equipment at the Stores, Distribution Centers and corporate offices) in place without any cost or liability to Agent. Agent shall have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to furniture, fixtures, and equipment located at the Stores, Distribution Centers and/or corporate offices which are not owned by Merchant.

(c) Merchant hereby represents to Agent that: (i) all Owned FF&E and Owned DC FF&E may be sold by Agent on Merchant’s behalf, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances of any kind; and (ii) all such Owned FF&E and Owned DC FF&E is devoid of Hazardous Materials.

(d) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent will not have any obligation whatsoever to purchase, sell, make, store, handle, treat, dispose, generate, transport or remove any Hazardous Materials that may be located at the Stores, Distribution Centers and/or Merchant’s corporate offices or otherwise. Agent shall have no liability to any party for any environmental action brought: (i) that is related to the storage, handling, treatment, disposition, generation, or transportation of Hazardous Materials, or (ii) in connection with any remedial actions associated therewith or the Stores, Distribution Centers and/or Merchant’s corporate offices. Merchant (and not Agent) shall be solely responsible to remove from the Stores, Distribution Centers and Merchant’s corporate offices all Hazardous Materials. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Hazardous Materials” means, collectively, any chemical, solid, liquid, gas, or other substance having the characteristics identified in, listed under, or designated pursuant to (i) the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. 9601(14), as a “hazardous substance”, (ii) the Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C.A. 6903(5) and 6921, as a “hazardous waste”, or (iii) any other laws, statutes or regulations of a government or political subdivision or agency thereof, as presenting an imminent and substantial danger to the public health or welfare or to the environment or as otherwise requiring special handling, collection, storage, treatment, disposal, or transportation.

(e) In respect of the sale of Owned FF&E at or from the corporate offices, the effective date of any such sale of Owned FF&E shall not become effective until Merchant has discontinued use of such Owned FF&E. From time to time, Merchant shall cooperate with Agent to identify Owned FF&E at the corporate offices for which Merchant has discontinued use or will discontinue use in the then near future. Once Merchant has discontinued the use of all or substantially all Owned FF&E, Merchant and Agent shall mutually agree upon a reasonably period of time during which the Agent may complete remaining sales of Owned FF&E and the corporate offices and provide purchasers thereof with reasonable access to remove such purchased Owned FF&E.
