Credit Agreement with Bank of America Retail Group, Inc.

The Company has a credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., most recently amended on November 10, 2010 (the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility provides for a maximum committed borrowing of $75 million, which, pursuant to an accordion feature, may be increased to $125 million upon the request of the Company and the agreement of the lender(s) participating in the increase. The Credit Facility includes a sublimit of $20 million for commercial and standby letters of credit and a sublimit of up to $15 million for Swingline Loans. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is November 10, 2014.

Borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate (determined as the highest of (a) Bank of America N.A.’s prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) the one month LIBOR rate) plus a varying percentage, based on the Company’s borrowing base, of 1.00-1.25% for prime-based borrowings and 2.00-2.25% for LIBOR-based borrowings. The Company is also subject to an unused line fee. At May 4, 2013, the Company’s prime-based interest rate was 4.25%. The Company had approximately $5.0 million of its outstanding borrowings in a LIBOR-based contract with an interest rate of 2.18%. The LIBOR-based contract expired May 7, 2013. When a LIBOR-based contract expires, the borrowings revert back to prime-based borrowings unless the Company enters into a new LIBOR-based contract.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on all of its assets. The Company is not subject to any financial covenants pursuant to the Credit Facility.

At May 4, 2013, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $11.6 million. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $1.8 million and documentary letters of credit were $0.4 million. Unused excess availability at May 4, 2013 was $61.2 million. Average borrowings outstanding under this facility during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $6.0 million, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $65.5 million. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets, with increased advance rates based on seasonality.

The fair value of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility at May 4, 2013 approximated the carrying value.
