$10,000,000.00

 

March 23, 2006

 

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (singly, a “Borrower”, and collectively, the “Borrowers”, together with successors and assigns), jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of FIRST NIAGARA BANK (hereinafter, together with its successors in title and assigns, the “Lender”), c/o Bank of America, N.A., 40 Broad Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, the principal sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00), or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of Revolving Loans made by the Lender to or for the account of any Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated January 5, 2006 (as such may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Credit Agreement”) by, among others, (i) Trans World Entertainment Corporation, as Lead Borrower, (ii) the other Borrowers party thereto, (iii) the Facility Guarantors party thereto, (iv) the Lenders named therein, (v) Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders and as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacities, the “Agent”), and (vi) Bank of America, N.A., as Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, with interest, fees, expenses, and costs at the rate and payable in the manner stated therein.

 

This is a “Revolving Note” to which reference is made in the Credit Agreement and is subject to all terms and provisions thereof. The principal of, and interest on, this Revolving Note shall be payable at the times, in the manner, and in the amounts as provided in the Credit Agreement and shall be subject to prepayment and acceleration as provided therein. Borrowers shall have the right to borrow, re-pay and re-borrow amounts hereunder pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

The Agent’s books and records concerning the Revolving Loans, the accrual of interest thereon, and the repayment of such Revolving Loans, shall be prima facie evidence of the indebtedness hereunder, absent manifest error.

 

No delay or omission by the Agent or the Lender in exercising or enforcing any of Agent’s or such Lender’s powers, rights, privileges, remedies, or discretions hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof on that occasion nor on any other occasion. No waiver of any Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default, nor as a continuing waiver.

 

Each Borrower, and each endorser and guarantor of this Revolving Note, waives presentment, demand, notice, and protest, and also waives any delay on the part of the holder hereof. Each Borrower assents to any extension or other indulgence (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral) permitted by any Agent and/or the Lender with respect to this Revolving Note and/or any Collateral or any extension or other indulgence

with respect to any other liability or any collateral given to secure any other liability of any Borrower or any other Person obligated on account of this Revolving Note.

 

This Revolving Note shall be binding upon each Borrower, and each endorser and guarantor hereof, and upon their respective successors, assigns, and representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, endorsees, and assigns.

 

The liabilities of each Borrower, and of any endorser or guarantor of this Revolving Note, are joint and several, provided, however, the release by Agent or the Lender of any one or more such Persons shall not release any other Person obligated on account of this Revolving Note. Each reference in this Revolving Note to each Borrower, any endorser, and any guarantor, is to such Person individually and also to all such Persons jointly. No Person obligated on account of this Revolving Note may seek contribution from any other Person also obligated unless and until all liabilities, obligations and indebtedness to the Lender of the Person from whom contribution is sought have been satisfied in full.

 

Each Borrower agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Revolving Note or any other Loan Document may be brought in any New York state or federal court sitting in New York County as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each Borrower hereby waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Borrower agrees that any action commenced by any Borrower asserting any claim or counterclaim arising under or in connection with this Revolving Note or any other Loan Document shall be brought solely in any New York state or federal court sitting in New York County as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action.

 

THIS REVOLVING NOTE IS DELIVERED TO THE LENDER AT THE OFFICES OF THE AGENT IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

EACH BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR, ENDORSER AND SURETY, AND THE LENDER BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A JURY IN ANY TRIAL OF ANY CASE OR CONTROVERSY IN WHICH ANY SUCH BORROWER, GUARANTOR, ENDORSER, SURETY OR LENDER IS OR BECOMES A PARTY (WHETHER SUCH CASE OR CONTROVERSY IS INITIATED BY OR AGAINST ANY SUCH BORROWER, GUARANTOR, ENDORSER, SURETY OR LENDER OR IN WHICH ANY SUCH BORROWER, GUARANTOR, ENDORSER, SURETY OR LENDER IS JOINED AS A PARTY LITIGANT), WHICH CASE OR CONTROVERSY ARISES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF OR RELATES TO THIS REVOLVING NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN

Re:  First Amendment to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A. as Agent

 

Dear Mr. Sullivan:

 

Reference is made to the First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Amendment”), by, among others, (i) Trans World Entertainment Corporation, as Lead Borrower, (ii) the other Borrowers party thereto, (iii) the Facility Guarantors party thereto, (iv) the Lenders named therein, (v) Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders and as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacities, the “Agent”), and (vi) Bank of America, N.A., as Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the First Amendment.

 

In connection with, and in consideration for, the agreements contained in the First Amendment and to induce the Agent to enter into the First Amendment, the Loan Parties jointly and severally agree as follows:

 

1.                          The Borrowers shall pay the Agent, for the Agent’s own account, an arrangement fee (the “Arrangement Fee”) in an amount equal to .10% of the Commitment Increase (i.e. $30,000,000 x .10% = $30,000.00). The Arrangement Fee shall be fully earned and paid by the Borrowers in full on the date of the First Amendment. The Arrangement Fee shall not be subject to refund or rebate under any circumstances. The Agent, without prior notice to or consent from the Borrowers, may allocate and pay over a portion of the Arrangement Fee to a Lender or Lenders, in such amounts as the Agent in its discretion determines.

 

2.                          The Borrowers shall reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for all expenses incurred in connection with the First Amendment, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (to the extent such attorneys’ fees exceed $5,000.00) and costs and expenses.

 

3.                          The Loan Parties shall execute such instruments, documents and agreements as the Agent and its counsel may reasonably require in order to implement the terms of this Fee Letter. The Loan Parties agree to keep the terms of this Fee Letter confidential and not to disclose same to any other person or entity (including, without limitation, any proposed or actual lender or participant in the credit facilities), without the Agent’s prior written consent.

 



 

This Fee Letter is subject to, and is a part of, and is specifically incorporated, in the First Amendment, which documents together constitute one entire agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, as set forth in the First Amendment, this Fee Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

This Fee Letter is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto.

 

This Fee Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Fee Letter by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
