COLLATERAL ACCESS AGREEMENT

 


________________________ ______ , 2009

          For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ____________________ , a _______________ (the “Landlord”), executes this waiver in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for its own benefit and the benefit of certain other lenders (the “Lenders”) which are making loans or furnishing other financial accommodations to [Foot Locker, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York] (the “Tenant”)1 pursuant to (i) that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 20, 2009 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by, among others, the Tenant, certain of the Tenant’s affiliates, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the other “Loan Documents” (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement).

WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS, the Landlord owns real property located at ______________________ (collectively, the “Leased Premises”), which real property the Landlord leases to the Tenant pursuant to that certain [Lease Agreement] dated as of [ _____________ ] (as amended and in effect as of the date hereof, the “Lease”).

          WHEREAS, the Tenant has entered into certain loan arrangements with the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, pursuant to which the Collateral Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make loans or furnish other financial accommodations to the Tenant.

          WHEREAS, loans and financial accommodations under the loan arrangement will be secured by, among other things, certain of the Tenant’s present and after acquired assets, including, without limitation, the Tenant’s inventory, books and records, and equipment located, and to be located, upon the Leased Premises (the “Collateral”).

          WHEREAS, in order to induce the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to make loans or furnish other financial accommodations to the Tenant, the Landlord hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

 


1 The identity of the Tenant should be changed to the appropriate Loan Party as necessary.

1.

To the best of the Landlord’s knowledge, the Tenant is not in default under the terms of the Lease.

 

 

2.

The Landlord hereby waives and releases in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders: (a) any and all rights of distraint, levy, and execution which the Landlord may now or hereafter have against the Collateral; (b) any and all statutory liens, security interests, or other liens which the Landlord may now or hereafter have in the Collateral; and (c) any and all other interests or claims of every nature whatsoever which the Landlord may now or hereafter have in or against the Collateral for any rent, storage charges, or other sums due, or to become due, to the Landlord by the Tenant. The Landlord agrees not to exercise any of the Landlord’s rights, remedies, powers, privileges, or discretions with respect to the Collateral, or the Landlord’s liens or security interests in the Collateral, unless and until the Landlord receives written notice from an officer of the Collateral Agent that the Tenant’s obligations to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders have been paid in full, and that the commitment of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to make loans or furnish other financial accommodations to the Tenant has been terminated. The foregoing waiver is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders only and does not affect the obligations of the Tenant to the Landlord.

 

 

3.

In the event of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights upon default with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have a reasonable time in which to repossess and/or dispose of the Collateral from the Leased Premises; provided, however, that such period will be tolled during any period in which the Collateral Agent has been stayed from taking action to remove the Collateral in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, and the Collateral Agent shall have an additional period of time thereafter in which to repossess and/or dispose of the Collateral from the Leased Premises. In those circumstances, the Landlord will, upon reasonable prior written notice from the Collateral Agent, (a) refrain from hindering the Collateral Agent’s actions in gaining access to the Leased Premises for the purpose of repossessing said Collateral and (b) if requested by the Collateral Agent, permit the Collateral Agent, or its agents or nominees, to dispose of the Collateral on the Leased Premises in a manner reasonably designed to minimize any interference with any of the Landlord’s other tenants at the Leased Premises. The Collateral Agent shall promptly restore and repair, at the Collateral Agent’s cost and expense, any physical damage to the Leased Premises resulting from any action taken by the Collateral Agent or its agents and employees upon the Leased Premises, but shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Leased Premises caused by the removal or absence of the Collateral.

 

 

4.

To the extent not paid or prepaid by the Tenant, the Collateral Agent shall pay the Landlord a sum for its use and occupancy of the Leased Premises on a per diem basis in an amount equal to the monthly base rent required to be paid by the Tenant under the lease between the Landlord and the Tenant from the date on which the Collateral Agent shall have taken possession of the Collateral on the Leased Premises until the date on which the Collateral Agent vacates the Leased Premises, it being understood, however,

that the Collateral Agent shall not, thereby, have assumed any of the obligations of the Tenant to the Landlord, including, without limitation, any obligation to pay any past due rent owing by the Tenant.

 

 

5.

Prior to the Landlord’s terminating its lease with the Tenant or evicting the Tenant from the Leased Premises for breach of the lease, the Landlord shall give the Collateral Agent not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice of such action at the address set forth below, and a reasonable opportunity to preserve, protect, liquidate, or remove any Collateral on the Leased Premises and, if the Collateral Agent so elects, to cure such breach of the lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to cure any such breach or default. The cure of any such breach or default by the Collateral Agent on any one occasion shall not obligate the Collateral Agent to cure any other breach or default or to cure such default on any other occasion.

 

 

6.

All notices under this waiver shall be made to the following addresses by recognized overnight courier, by hand delivery or by facsimile transmission:
