TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

 

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (referred to herein as this “Amendment No. 3”) is entered into as of April 21, 2023, by and among FOOT LOCKER, INC., a New York corporation (the “Borrower”); each of the parties identified on the signature pages hereto as a Guarantor (collectively, the “Guarantors” and individually, a “Guarantor”); each of the parties identified on the signature pages hereto as a Lender (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a “Lender”); WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Wells Fargo”), in its capacity as L/C Issuer (in such capacity, “L/C Issuer”); and Wells Fargo, in its capacity as agent acting for and on behalf of the Lenders (in such capacity, “Agent”).

 

WHEREAS, Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2016 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2021, and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise in effect immediately prior hereto, the “Credit Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, Borrower, Guarantors, Agent, the L/C Issuer and Lenders, constituting all of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, have agreed to amend and modify, and provide certain waivers and consents to, the Credit Agreement as provided herein, in each case subject to the terms and provisions hereof;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.     Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment No. 3 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

 

2.     Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Amendment No. 3, (a) the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and (b) Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

3.     Limited Waiver to Credit Agreement.

(b)    other than with respect to the matters subject of the limited waiver set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment No. 3, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
