Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning assigned thereto in the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby.

In consideration of the premises and the agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendment and Restatement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment and Restatement as provided in Section 3 below, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in the form in which it exists on the date hereof but with the following revisions (the Existing Credit Agreement, as so amended and restated, being called the “Restated Credit Agreement”):

(a) Preamble. The first sentence of the preamble is hereby deleted and replaced with the following sentence:

Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of November 5, 2004 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), amending and restating the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October 6,2004, among Limited Brands, Inc., the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent. The Borrower has requested the Lenders to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, (a) extend the Maturity Date (such term and each other capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein having the meaning assigned to it in Article I) and (b) amend the Applicable Rate.


(b) Section 1.01. Section 1.01 is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Applicable Rate”, “Availability Period”, “Maturity Date” and “Test Date” and adding the following definitions in proper alphabetical order to read as follows:

Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder.

Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to any Eurodollar Loan or ABR Loan, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Eurodollar Spread” or “ABR Spread”, as the case may be, based upon the highest two of the three ratings by Fitch, S&P and Moody’s, respectively, applicable on such date to the Index Debt:

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if any of Fitch, S&P or Moody’s shall not have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition) the Applicable Rate shall be determined on the basis of the rating agency or rating agencies that do then have ratings for the Index Debt in effect, provided that if there are only two such ratings in effect and such ratings are not in the same Category, then the Applicable Rate will be determined by reference to the Category next above that of the lower of such two ratings, (b) if none of Fitch, S&P and Moody’s has in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition) then the Index Debt shall be deemed to be rated in Category 5, (c) the Index Debt shall be deemed to be rated in Category 5 at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (d) if all three ratings exist and the highest two of three ratings established or deemed to have been established by Fitch, S&P and Moody’s for the Index Debt are not in the same Category, then the Applicable Rate will be determined by reference to the Category of the lower of such two ratings and (e) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Fitch, S&P and Moody’s for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Fitch, S&P or Moody’s), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it

is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in an Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Fitch, S&P or Moody’s shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system, or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, each Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

Restatement Date” means the date on which the conditions specified in Section 3 of the 2006 Amendment and Restatement are satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 8.02).

SECTION 4. Non-Pro Rata Payments and Borrowings. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.15 of the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to permit the prepayment of “Loans” under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement as contemplated in Section 3(e) hereof without prepaying pro rata the other such “Loans” outstanding and without provision of the notice otherwise required under Section 2.08(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

(b) If any Loans are required to be made on the Restatement Date as contemplated by Section 3(e) hereof, such Loans shall be made as Eurodollar Loans pursuant to a single Eurodollar Borrowing (the “Interim Eurodollar Borrowing”) with an Interest Period commencing on the Restatement Date and ending on the last day of the Interest Period then in effect for the Eurodollar Borrowing then outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement (or, if there is more than one such outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing, the outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing with the Interest Period ending on the earliest date after the Restatement Date). It is understood that the Interim Eurodollar Borrowing will result in Borrowings outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement in which the Lenders do not participate ratably. Accordingly the parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Restated Credit Agreement to the contrary:

(i) Until such time as the Lenders participate ratably in all outstanding Borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement, any payment of principal of any Borrowing or Borrowings shall be made in a manner that results in each Lender receiving a pro rata share of such payment in proportion to its share of the total principal amount of the outstanding Loans.

(ii) On the last day of the Interest Period for the Interim Eurodollar Borrowing (or on any earlier date on which the Borrower elects, pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Restated Credit Agreement, to convert any outstanding Borrowing to a different Type or to change the Interest Period of any outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing), the Borrower shall take such action as shall be necessary under Section 2.05 of the

 

7


Restated Credit Agreement so that, on and after such date, each Lender participates ratably in all outstanding Borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement.

SECTION 5. Agreement. Except as specifically stated herein, the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect. As used therein, the terms “Credit Agreement”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “hereinafter”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar import shall, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to the Restated Credit Agreement.

SECTION 6. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with this Amendment and Restatement, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7. Counterparts. This Amendment and Restatement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment and Restatement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 8. Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9. Headings. The headings of this Amendment and Restatement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
