AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PLEDGE AGREEMENT

(Under Armour, Inc.)

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 22nd day of December, 2006, by and between UNDER ARMOUR, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Pledgor”); and THE CIT GROUP/COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC., a New York corporation, in its capacity as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) for the Lenders (as hereinafter defined) under the Financing Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

BACKGROUND STATEMENT

A. Pledgor and the Agent are parties to a certain Pledge Agreement (Under Armour, Inc.), dated September 28, 2005, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated June 7, 2006 (such Pledge Agreement, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”), executed and delivered pursuant to the provisions of a certain Second Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, also dated September 28, 2005 (such Second Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2005 Financing Agreement”), among Pledgor and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that are parties thereto from time to time (each, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), the lenders and financial institutions that are parties thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”), and the Agent.

B. Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, Pledgor granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in, among other collateral, 65% of the stock of Under Armour Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation (referred to in the Pledge Agreement and herein as “Under Armour”), as security for the Obligations.

C. The Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders are entering into a Third Amended and Rested Financing Agreement, dated of even date herewith (such Third Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2006 Financing Agreement”), which amends and restates in its entirety all of the terms and provisions of the 2005 Financing Agreement.

D. Pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Financing Agreement, the stock of Under Armour pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement shall no longer secure the Obligations.

E. Pledgor and Agent therefore wish to enter into this Amendment in order for the Agent to release its security interest in any of the stock of Under Armour pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and to make certain conforming changes thereto.

F. To accomplish the foregoing, Pledgor and the Agent wish to enter into this Amendment.
