The Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
     14. Waiver of Claims. Borrower hereby waives, releases, remises and forever discharges Agent, Lenders and each other Indemnified Person from any and all Claims of any kind or character, known or unknown, which Borrower ever had, now has or might hereafter have against Agent or any Indemnified Person which relates, directly or indirectly, to any acts or omissions of Agent or such Lender or any other Indemnified Person on or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date.

     (c) On or before the Closing Date (or such later date set forth in Section 5.14(b) or as Agent shall consent in writing), the Borrower Concentration Account Bank, each Relationship Bank and each bank where a Borrower Disbursement Account is maintained, shall have entered into tri-party blocked account agreements with Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, and the applicable Loan Party, in form and substance acceptable to Agent, which shall become operative on or prior to the Closing Date (or such later date as set forth in Section 5.14(b) or as Agent shall consent in writing, as applicable); provided that the balance in each Blocked Account or Borrower Disbursement Account held by such banks identified on Schedule 3.20 for which blocked account agreements have not been obtained shall be swept on a daily basis to the Concentration Account. Each such blocked account agreement shall provide, among other things, that (i) all items of payment deposited in such account and proceeds thereof deposited in the Concentration Account, Borrower Disbursement Account or Blocked Account are held by such bank as agent or bailee-in-possession for Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, (ii) the bank executing such agreement has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against such account, as the case may be, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such account and for returned checks or other items of payment, (iii) from and after the date of execution of such agreement with respect to a Blocked Account, such bank agrees to sweep on a daily basis all amounts in such Blocked Account to the Concentration Account and (iv) from and after the date of execution of such agreement with respect to the Borrower Concentration Account Bank or each bank where a Borrower Disbursement Account is held, such bank agrees, from and after the receipt of a notice (an “Activation Notice”) from Agent (which Activation Notice may be given by Agent at any time at which (1) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (2) Excess Availability has at any time been less than $30,000,000 (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as an “Activation Event”)), to immediately forward all amounts received in the Concentration Account or the applicable Borrower Disbursement Account to the Collection Account through daily sweeps from the Concentration Account or such Borrower Disbursement Account into the Collection Account. From and after the date Agent has delivered an Activation Notice to any bank with respect to the Concentration Account or any Borrower Disbursement Account(s), no Loan Party (including GolfWorks and Golf Galaxy, but excluding GolfWorks Canada) shall, or shall cause or permit any Subsidiary thereof to, accumulate or maintain cash in disbursement or payroll accounts as of any date of determination in excess of checks outstanding against such accounts as of that date and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements. In the event the Agent shall have delivered an Activation Notice to bank at which the Concentration Account is held, and thereafter the Borrower has Excess Availability in excess of $50,000,000 for a period of ninety consecutive Business Days, at the written request of Borrower, the Agent, subject to no Default or Event of Default existing at such time, shall deliver a written notice to such bank rescinding the Activation Notice previously delivered.

 


 

     (d) From and after the Golf Acquisition Closing Date, Golf Galaxy and GolfWorks shall cause, on a daily basis, all monies deposited (other than up to $5,000 in any individual deposit account) into their deposit accounts identified on Schedule 3.20 (the “Golf Deposit Accounts”) to be swept into the Golf Galaxy Concentration Account. No later than ninety (90) days after the Golf Acquisition Closing Date, the Golf Galaxy Concentration Account Bank and each bank where a Golf Disbursement Account is maintained shall have entered into tri-party blocked account agreements with Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, and the applicable Loan Party, in form and substance acceptable to Agent. Each such blocked account agreement shall provide, among other things, that (i) all items deposited in such account are held by the applicable account bank as agent or bailee-in-possession for Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, (ii) the bank executing such agreement has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against such account, as the case may be, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (iii) from and after the date of execution of such agreement with respect to the Golf Galaxy Concentration Account Bank or each bank where a Golf Disbursement Account is held, such bank agrees, from and after the receipt of an Activation Notice from Agent (which Activation Notice may be given by Agent at any time when an Activation Event has occurred and is continuing), to immediately forward all amounts received in the Golf Galaxy Concentration Account or the applicable Golf Disbursement Account to the Collection Account through daily sweeps from the Golf Galaxy Concentration Account or such Golf Disbursement Account into the Collection Account. In the event Agent shall have delivered an Activation Notice to the Golf Galaxy Concentration Account Bank, and thereafter the Borrower has Excess Availability in excess of $50,000,000 for a period of ninety consecutive Business Days, at the written request of Borrower, the Agent, subject to no Default or Event of Default existing at such time, shall deliver a written notice to such bank rescinding the Activation Notice previously delivered.

The Loan Parties shall close any of their accounts (and establish replacement accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days of notice from Agent that the creditworthiness of any bank holding an account is no longer acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days of notice from Agent that

 


 

the operating performance, funds transfer and/or availability procedures or performance with respect to accounts or lockboxes of the bank holding such accounts or Agent’s liability under any tri-party blocked account agreement or such other agreement with such bank is no longer acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment.
     (f) The Blocked Accounts, Borrower Disbursement Accounts, Golf Disbursement Accounts, the Golf Galaxy Concentration Account and the Concentration Account shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and other similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Revolving Credit Loan and all other Obligations, and in which the Loan Parties shall have granted a Lien to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, pursuant to the Borrower Security Agreement or the Subsidiary Security Agreement, as applicable.
     (g) All amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be deemed received by Agent in accordance with Section 1.8 of the Agreement and shall be applied (and allocated) by Agent in accordance with Section 1.10 of the Agreement. In no event shall any amount be so applied unless and until such amount shall have been credited in immediately available funds to the Collection Account.

Each Loan Party and each Related Person thereof acknowledges and agrees that all cash, checks or items of payment constituting proceeds of Collateral are the property of Agent and Lenders. All proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, shall be deposited directly into the applicable Blocked Accounts or the Concentration Account if required by Section 6.8 of the Agreement.
