B. Canadian Loan Refinancing. The Loan Parties have advised the Agents and the Lenders that the Canadian Subsidiaries intend to refinance and replace the Canadian Loan (as defined prior to giving effect to this Seventh Amendment) by terminating all commitments and repaying in full all obligations thereunder, and entering into the Canadian Loan Documents (as defined below). In connection with the entering into of the Canadian Loan Documents, the Canadian Subsidiaries will (i) repay in full all obligations under the Canadian Loan (as defined prior to giving effect to this Seventh Amendment), (ii) grant liens on substantially all of their assets in favor of the Canadian Lender (as defined below), and (iii) incur Indebtedness in favor of the Canadian Lender (as defined below) under the Canadian Loan Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the “Canadian Refinancing Transaction”).

The Agents and the Required Lenders have agreed to consent to and approve the Canadian Refinancing Transaction and to the modifications to the Credit Agreement provided for herein, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Accordingly, it is hereby agreed, as follows:

 

1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to satisfaction of each and all of the Preconditions to Effectiveness set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Credit Agreement is amended as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) as follows:

 

-2-


  a. By deleting the definition of “Borrowing Base” in its entirety from Section 1.01 thereof and substituting the following new definition in its stead:

“ “Borrowing Base” means, at any time of calculation, an amount equal to:

(a) (i) the Raw Materials Appraisal Percentage of the Appraised Inventory Liquidation Value with respect to Eligible Inventory consisting of raw materials, and (ii) the Appraisal Percentage of the Appraised Inventory Liquidation Value with respect to all other Eligible Inventory;

plus

(b) with respect to any Eligible Letter of Credit, the Appraisal Percentage of the Appraised Value of the Inventory supported by such Eligible Letter of Credit, multiplied by the Cost of such Inventory when completed, net of Inventory Reserves;

plus

(c) the face amount of Eligible Wholesale Receivables (net of Receivables Reserves applicable thereto) multiplied by the Receivables Advance Rate;

minus

(d) the then amount of all Availability Reserves.

 

  b. By deleting the definition of “Canadian Lender” in its entirety and substituting the following new definition in its stead:

“ “Canadian Lender” means the lender(s) party to the Canadian Loan Agreement. As of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, the Canadian Lender is Bank of Montreal.”

 

  c. By deleting the definition of “Canadian Loan” in its entirety and substituting the following new definition in its stead:

“ “Canadian Loan” means (i) the loans made by the Canadian Lender to the Canadian Subsidiaries pursuant to the Canadian Loan Agreement, and (ii) any refinancing thereof, which refinancing is on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Agents in their sole discretion.”

 

  d. By deleting clause (n) of the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances” in its entirety and substituting the following new clause (n) in its stead:

“(n) Liens in favor of the Canadian Lender securing the obligations of American Apparel Canada Wholesale Inc. and American Apparel Canada Retail Inc. under the Canadian Loan Documents;”

 

-3-


  e. By deleting clause (m) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” in its entirety and substituting the following new clause (m) in its stead:

“(m) Indebtedness due the Canadian Lender under the Canadian Loan Documents;”

 

  f. By adding the following new definitions to Section 1.01 thereof in appropriate alphabetical order:

“ “Canadian Loan Agreement” means that certain Credit Agreement dated as of December 30, 2009 by and among the Canadian Subsidiaries and the Canadian Lender, as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time to the extent any such amendment, supplement or other modification is not materially adverse to the Agents and the Lenders, entered into in connection with the Canadian Refinancing Transaction, together with any refinancing thereof permitted in accordance with the definition of “Canadian Loan”.”

“ “Canadian Loan Documents” means the Canadian Loan Agreement and the other documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection therewith, in each case (i) to the extent entered into and continuing in effect as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time to the extent any such amendment, supplement or other modification is not materially adverse to the Agents and the Lenders.”

“ “Canadian Refinancing Transaction” has the meaning assigned to such term in the Seventh Amendment.”

“ “Seventh Amendment” means that certain Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of December 30, 2009, by and between, among others, the Loan Parties, the Agents, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, and the Lenders party thereto.”

“ “Seventh Amendment Effective Date” means December 30, 2009.”

  h. By deleting clause (b)(vi) of Section 6.07 (Restricted Payments; Certain Payments of Indebtedness) of the Credit Agreement in its entirety and substituting the following new clause (b)(vi) in its stead:

“(vi) payments of obligations under the Canadian Loan Agreement or the other Canadian Loan Documents, provided that (x) such payments shall be made only by a Canadian Subsidiary, and (y) no Loan Party may transfer proceeds of any Loan to any Canadian Subsidiary for purposes of making any such payments;”

 

-4-


  i. By deleting the last sentence of Section 6.09 (Restrictive Agreements) of the Credit Agreement in its entirety and substituting the following new sentence in its stead:

“Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 6.09 to the contrary, neither (i) (a) the prohibition on the pledge of security interest in the Capital Stock of the Canadian Subsidiaries, nor (b) the prohibition on the granting of any guaranty or security interest by the Canadian Subsidiaries, nor (c) the prohibition on repatriation of funds or making of distributions or payments of any kind to the Parent, any other shareholder of the Canadian Subsidiaries, or any Affiliate of the Parent, the Canadian Subsidiaries or any other shareholder of the Canadian Subsidiaries, in each case as set forth in the Canadian Loan Agreement, nor (ii) the prohibitions, restrictions and impositions of conditions expressly set forth in the Merger Agreement and Lim Option Agreement (to the extent such prohibitions, restrictions and impositions of conditions are in connection with the consummation of the merger or the transactions related thereto as expressly set forth in the Merger Agreement and would not result in a Material Adverse Effect) shall be prohibited by this SECTION 6.09.”

 

  j. By amending Section 6.10 by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:

“The Loan Parties shall, promptly upon (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after) entering into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Charter Document, Material Agreement or Material Indebtedness, deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed copy of such amendment, modification or waiver.”

 

2. Canadian Refinancing Transaction. Subject to satisfaction of each and all of the Preconditions to Effectiveness set forth in Section 3 hereof:

 

  a. The Agents and the Required Lenders hereby consent to the Canadian Refinancing Transaction, provided that the Canadian Refinancing Transaction shall be consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Canadian Loan Documents, provided further that under no circumstances shall any Loan Party guaranty any obligations of the Canadian Subsidiaries or otherwise pledge any security for the obligations of the Canadian Subsidiaries under the Canadian Loan Agreement or any other Canadian Loan Document, except that (i) the Parent may pledge on a non-recourse basis its right, title and interest in and to the equity interests of the Canadian Subsidiaries as security for such obligations, (ii) Parent may waive certain of its rights to repossess goods delivered to the Canadian Subsidiaries, and (iii) the Lead Borrower may grant non-exclusive licenses of certain of its trademarks to the Canadian Lender, in each case in accordance with the Canadian Loan Documents.

 

-5-


  b. Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, upon the repayment of the Canadian Loan owing to The Toronto-Dominion Bank, the Parent shall not be obligated to pledge to the Collateral Agent, as security for the Obligations, any of its right, title and interest in and to the equity interests of the Canadian Subsidiaries, provided that the foregoing waiver shall be of no further force and effect if at any time the Canadian Loan Documents shall be amended to permit such pledge in favor of the Collateral Agent.

 

3. Preconditions to Effectiveness. This Seventh Amendment shall not become effective unless and until, on or before December 31, 2009, each and all of the following conditions have been satisfied, in each case to the satisfaction of the Agents, in their sole and exclusive discretion exercised in good faith:

 

  a. The Lead Borrower, the other Borrowers, and the Facility Guarantors shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (i) duly executed copies of (A) this Seventh Amendment, and (B) that certain First Amendment to Intellectual Property Security Agreement among the Collateral Agent and the Loan Parties party thereto, and (ii) updated Schedule I and Schedule II to the Pledge Agreement (the “Amended Pledge Schedules”) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, together with, with respect to Capital Stock that is evidenced by stock certificates or other equity interest certificates, original stock certificates or other equity interest certificates and stock powers or other equity interest powers duly executed in blank, to the extent such certificates and powers are required to be delivered pursuant to such Pledge Agreement and to the extent not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent. For purposes of clarity, the parties to the Pledge Agreement acknowledge and agree that, immediately upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Amended Pledge Schedules and without requiring further action on the part of any Person, the Pledge Agreement shall be deemed amended by deleting the existing Schedule I and Schedule II thereto in their entirety and substituting the Amended Pledge Schedules in their stead.

 

  b. The Agents shall have received Charter Documents and such other documents and certificates as the Agents or their counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and good standing of each Loan Party and the authorization of the transactions contemplated by this Seventh Amendment, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and their counsel.

 

-6-


  c. The Lead Borrower, the Borrowers, and the Facility Guarantors shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such other and further documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably may require and shall have identified prior to the execution of this Seventh Amendment, in order to confirm and implement the terms and conditions of this Seventh Amendment.

 

  d. The Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender executing this Seventh Amendment, an amendment fee in the amount of 0.1667% of each of such executing Lender’s Commitment. Such amendment fee shall be fully earned and payable as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, shall not be subject to refund or rebate under any circumstances (including, without limitation, on account of the termination of the Canadian Loan Agreement or the failure of the Canadian Subsidiaries and the Canadian Lender to consummate the Canadian Refinancing Transaction), and shall not be subject to reduction by way of setoff or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to make a Revolving Credit Loan under the Credit Agreement to pay such amendment fee, and the Administrative Agent agrees to do so upon satisfaction of the condition precedent set forth in Section 3(a) above, the foregoing being deemed satisfaction of the condition precedent set forth in this Section 3(d).

 

  e. No Default or Event of Default shall exist.

 

  f. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06 to the Credit Agreement, there shall not be pending any litigation or other proceeding, the result of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

  g. No default of any material contract or agreement of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall exist except where the existence of a default, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

  h. The Agents shall have received a duly executed copy of the Canadian Loan Agreement.

 

  i. The Agents shall have received a duly executed copy of an amendment to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, pursuant to which, among other things, the Second Lien Credit Agreement shall have been amended to permit the Canadian Refinancing Transaction.

 

-7-


4. Post-Closing Obligations.

  b. Upon the Loan Parties’ receipt thereof (but in any event within three (3) Business Days following the execution thereof, or such longer period as the Agents may agree in their sole and exclusive discretion), the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Agents duly executed copies of, to the extent executed in connection with the Canadian Refinancing Transaction, (i) the Canadian Loan Documents constituting any security agreements, pledge agreements and trademark license agreements to which any Loan Party is a party, as well as copies of filings made by the Canadian Lender under the Personal Property Security Act evidencing the grant of security by the Canadian Subsidiaries or any Loan Party in favor of the Canadian Lender, in each case substantially in the form of such Canadian Loan Documents presented to the Agents prior to the Seventh Amendment Effective Date or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, and (ii) each other Canadian Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party.

 

  c. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the failure to comply with any provision of this Section 4 shall constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a) of the Credit Agreement.

-8-


  c. Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that as of the date of this Seventh Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists.

 

  d.
