WHEREAS, the Borrower, Holdings, the other Grantors that are party to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Adminstrative Agent and the lenders party thereto are concurrently herewith entering into that certain Amendment No. 1 to Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”) attached as Exhibit I hereto;

WHEREAS, the Borrower, Holdings, the other Grantors that are party to the ABL Facility Credit Agreement, the ABL Facility Adminstrative Agent and the lenders party thereto are concurrently herewith entering into that certain Amendment No. 1 to ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL Facility Amendment”) attached as Exhibit II hereto;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Term Loan Administrative Agent, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, the ABL Facility Administrative Agent and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent consent to the amendment of certain terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as set forth herein, and, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, each of the Term Loan Administrative Agent, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, the ABL Facility Administrative Agent and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent are willing to do so, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

IV. Amendments to Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section II.E hereof, on and as of the Effective Date (as defined below), the Intercreditor Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

A. Section 1 of the Intercreditor Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following definition in the proper alphabetical order:

B. The definition of “Term Loan Cap Amount” in Section 1 of the Intercreditor Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the definition in its entirety as follows:

Term Loan Debt Cap” shall mean the greater of (a) the result of (i) $333,500,000, plus (ii) 115% of such additional amounts permitted to be incurred under, or pursuant to, Section 2.14 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as in effect on the First Amendment Effective Date) or pursuant to any similar terms in any Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement and any corresponding provisions in any Refinancing thereof to the extent such similar or corresponding provisions do not permit an aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness in excess of an amount permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as in effect on the First Amendment Effective Date), plus (iii) the amount incurred pursuant to a Term Loan DIP Financing not to exceed 15% of the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loan Obligations (excluding Term Loan Hedging Obligations), plus (y) the maximum aggregate amount of additional Indebtedness that would be permitted to be incurred at such time under the Term Loan Credit Agreement without violating the terms of the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or any Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement (in each case as then in effect, and for this purpose ignoring any requirement that there exist no default or event of default), plus (iv) the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest, paid in kind amounts and premium on any Indebtedness under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement in connection with a Permitted Refinancing thereof plus fees and expenses incurred in connection with such Permitted Refinancing, plus (v) the amount of any Recovery with respect to the Term Loan Obligations, plus (vi) the aggregate amount of all Term Loan Hedging Obligations, minus (vii) the aggregate amount of all prepayments, repayments, repurchases and redemptions of the principal of the Term Loan Obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement (in each case, excluding any prepayment or repayment of such Term Loan Obligations in connection with a Permitted Refinancing thereof) and (b) any Indebtedness and other obligations that otherwise constitute Term Loan Obligations then permitted to be incurred pursuant to the terms of the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and any Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement, each as then in effect. With respect to clause (b) above, the creditors extending the respective Term Loan Obligations shall be entitled to rely in good faith on an opinion of counsel and, to the extent financial calculations are required, an officer’s certificate of the Borrower to the effect that the incurrence does not violate the terms of the then existing ABL Facility Credit Agreement or Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement and for purposes only of determining whether the respective Term Loan Obligations constitute Excess Term Loan Obligations for purposes of this Agreement, such reliance shall be conclusive (and any Term Loan Obligations extended by such creditors in reliance thereon shall not constitute Excess Term Loan Obligations to the extent covered by such legal opinion and/or officer’s certificate, as appropriate).

V. Miscellaneous Provisions.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

[            ], 2016

This Solvency Certificate is being executed and delivered pursuant to Section III.E.5 of that certain Amendment No. 1 to Term Loan Credit Agreement (“First Amendment”), dated as of May 27, 2016, which amends that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of May 8, 2015, among Jill Intermediate LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (as successor to Jill Holdings LLC, “Holdings”), Jill Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the other Credit Parties party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent and collateral agent. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Solvency Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the First Amendment or the Credit Agreement, as applicable.

I, David Biese, the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower, solely in such capacity and not in an individual capacity, hereby certify that I am the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower and that I am generally familiar with the businesses and assets of Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), I have made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate and I am duly authorized to execute this Solvency Certificate on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to the First Amendment.

I further certify, solely in my capacity as Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower, and not in my individual capacity, as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the First Amendment Transactions and the incurrence of the indebtedness and obligations being incurred and the payment of the 2016 Dividend in connection with the First Amendment Transactions on the date hereof, that, (i) the sum of the debt (including contingent liabilities) of Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, does not exceed the present fair saleable value of the assets of Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (ii) the capital of Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not unreasonably small in relation to the business of Holdings, the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, contemplated as of the date hereof; and (iii) Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts including current obligations beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature in the ordinary course of business. For the purposes hereof, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5).
