          (b) Amendment to Annex A. Annex A to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended adding the following new definitions in appropriate alphabetical order:

Golf Galaxy’ shall mean Golf Galaxy, Inc., a Minnesota corporation.
Golf Subsidiary’ shall mean Yankees Acquisition Corp., a Minnesota corporation that is wholly-owned by Borrower, which was formed solely for purposes of completing the Golf Acquisition.”
     4. Representations and Warranties. To induce Required Lenders and Agent to enter into this Amendment, Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:
          (a) Each of the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and each Guarantor of this Amendment and the performance of the Amended Credit Agreement are (i) within Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s corporate power and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and shareholder action; (ii) do not contravene any provision of any Loan Party’s charter or bylaws or equivalent organizational or charter or other constituent documents; (iii) do not violate any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority; (iv) do not conflict with or result in the breach or termination of, constitute a default under or accelerate or permit the acceleration of any performance required by, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which any Loan Party is a party or by which any Loan Party or any of its property is bound; (v) do not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property of any Loan Party other than those in favor of Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (vi) do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person.
          (b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and each Guarantor.
          (c) Each of this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and each Guarantor enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar

laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
          (d) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing both before and after giving effect to this Amendment.
          (e) No action, claim or proceeding is now pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party signatory hereto, threatened against such Loan Party, at law, in equity or otherwise, before any court, board, commission, agency or instrumentality of any federal, state, or local government or of any agency or subdivision thereof, or before any arbitrator or panel of arbitrators, which challenges such Loan Party’s right, power, or competence to enter into this Amendment or, to the extent applicable, perform any of its obligations under this Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity or enforceability of this Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken under this Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or which if determined adversely could have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of each Loan Party, there does not exist a state of facts which is reasonably likely to give rise to such proceedings.
          (f) All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct as of the date hereof with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date.
     5. Remedies. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document. The breach by any Loan Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Amendment shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
     6. No Other Amendments. Except as expressly amended in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be unmodified and shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. In addition, this Amendment shall not be deemed a waiver of any term or condition of any Loan Document by the Agent or the Lenders with respect to any right or remedy which the Agent or the Lenders may now or in the future have under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity or otherwise or be deemed to prejudice any rights or remedies which the Agent or the Lenders may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with any Loan Document or under or in connection with any Default or Event of Default which may now exist or which may occur after the date hereof. The Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
