For the period of February 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999, Sections 1.7 and 1.8, of the Agreement shall be amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows; provided that if the EBITDA criterion in clause B below is met, the formulation set forth in this clause A shall remain in effect until the Obligations are paid in full: 1.7 Eligible Accounts. Based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower to Agent and on other information available to Agent, Agent shall in its reasonable credit judgment exercised in good faith determine which Accounts of Borrower and its domestic Subsidiaries shall be "Eligible Accounts" for purposes of this Agreement. In determining whether a particular Account constitutes an Eligible Account, Agent shall not include any such Account to which any of the exclusionary criteria set forth below applies. Agent reserves the right, at any time and from time to time to adjust any such criteria, to establish new criteria and to establish reserves with respect to Eligible Accounts in its reasonable credit judgment exercised in good faith. In no event shall the criteria set forth below be changed to make more credit available. Eligible Accounts shall not include any Account of Borrower or its domestic Subsidiaries: (a) which does not arise from the sale of goods or the performance of services by Borrower or a domestic Subsidiary of Borrower in the ordinary course of its business; (b) upon which (i) Borrower's or its applicable domestic Subsidiary's right to receive payment is not absolute or is contingent upon the fulfillment of any condition whatsoever or (ii) Borrower or the applicable domestic Subsidiary of Borrower is not able to bring suit or otherwise enforce its remedies against the Account Debtor through judicial process, or (iii) if the Account represents a progress billing consisting of an invoice for goods sold or used or services rendered pursuant to a contract under which the Account Debtor's obligation to pay that invoice is subject to Borrower's or its domestic Subsidiaries' completion of further performance under such contract or is subject to the equitable lien of a surety bond issuer; (c) to the extent that any defense, counterclaim, charge- back, setoff or dispute is asserted as to, or applicable to, such Account; (d) that is not a true and correct statement of bona fide indebtedness incurred in the amount of the Account for merchandise sold to or services rendered and accepted by the applicable Account Debtor and payable in Dollars; (e) with respect to which an invoice, acceptable to Agent in form and substance, has not been sent to the applicable Account Debtor; (f) that (i) is not owned by Borrower or one of its domestic Subsidiaries or (ii) is subject to any right, claim, security interest or other interest of any other Person, other than Liens in favor of Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders which shall be first priority Liens; (g) that arises from a sale to any director, officer, other employee or Affiliate of Borrower or any of its domestic Subsidiaries; (h) that is more than ninety (90) days past due; or (i) that is not paid within one hundred twenty (120) days following its original invoice date (or one hundred fifty (150) days following its original invoice date in the case of Service Merchandise Company). Without duplicating the criteria set forth in clauses (h) and (i)above, there shall be deducted from the total amount of Eligible Accounts the allowance for doubtful accounts attributable to current Accounts as determined in accordance with GAAP. 1.8 Eligible Inventory. Based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower to Agent and on other information available to Agent, Agent shall in its reasonable credit judgment exercised in good faith determine which Inventory of Borrower and its domestic Subsidiaries shall be "Eligible Inventory" for purposes of this Agreement. In determining whether any particular Inventory constitutes Eligible Inventory, Agent shall not include any such Inventory to which any of the exclusionary criteria set forth below applies. Agent reserves the right, at any time and from time to time to adjust any such criteria, to establish new criteria and to establish reserves with respect to Eligible Inventory in its reasonable credit judgment exercised in good faith, including without limitation reserves equal to the amount of any Permitted Encumbrances that are senior to Agent's security interests in the Eligible Inventory. In no event shall the criteria set forth below be changed to make more credit available. Eligible Inventory shall not include any Inventory of Borrower or its domestic Subsidiaries that: (a) is not owned by Borrower or one of its domestic Subsidiaries free and clear of all Liens and rights of any other Person (including the rights of a purchaser that has made progress payments and the rights of a surety that has issued a bond to assure Borrower's or one of its domestic Subsidiaries' performance with respect to that Inventory), except the Liens in favor of Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, and Permitted Encumbrances of the type identified in clauses (v) or (vi) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances; (b) is (i) not located on premises owned by Borrower or one of its domestic Subsidiaries or (ii) is stored at leased premises or with a bailee, warehouseman or similar Person, unless Agent has given its prior consent thereto and unless (x) in each case, a satisfactory bailee letter or landlord waiver has been delivered to Agent, or (y)reserves satisfactory to Agent have been established with respect thereto; (c) is covered by a negotiable document of title, unless such document has been delivered to Agent with all necessary endorsements, free and clear of all Liens except those in favor of Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders; (d) is Healthrider Inventory that is unsalable, shopworn, seconds, damaged or unfit for sale as determined in accordance with GAAP; or (e) as to which Agent's Lien, on behalf of itself and Lenders, therein is not a first priority perfected Lien, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances of the type referred to in Section 1.8(a).

Unless Borrower's consolidated EBITDA for the twelve months ending May 31, 1999 exceeds $65,000,000 and Borrower has delivered financial statements to Agent and Lenders demonstrating the foregoing on or before June 30, 1999, then from July 1, 1999 through the date on which the Obligations are paid in full, Sections 1.7 and 1.8 of the Agreement shall be automatically amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows: 1.7 Eligible Accounts.
