Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 14, 2013, Zumiez Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) to extend its current secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A and amend certain financial covenants. The Credit Agreement was entered into on August 29, 2011 and was filed as Exhibit 10.18 to the report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 31, 2011. The Credit Agreement was set to expire September 1, 2013, and the Amended Agreement will extend the termination date to September 1, 2014. Additionally, the Amended Agreement amends the financial covenant that requires a maximum net loss not to exceed $10.0 million after taxes on a trailing four-quarter basis provided, that, there shall be added to net income all charges for impairment of goodwill and store assets not to exceed $5.0 million in aggregate. This financial covenant was amended to require a minimum net income after taxes of not less than one dollar on a trailing four-quarter basis provided, that, there shall be added to net income all charges for impairment of goodwill, other intangibles and up to an aggregate of $5 million of store asset impairment. All other material terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement will continue under the Amended Agreement.

A copy of the Amended Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.19. The preceding summary of the Amended Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Agreement.

THIS AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of June 14, 2013, by and between ZUMIEZ, INC., a Washington corporation (“Borrower”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of August 29, 2011, as amended from time to time (“Credit Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Bank and Borrower have agreed to certain changes in the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to reflect said changes.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1. Section 1.1. (a) is hereby amended by deleting “September 1, 2013” as the last day on which Bank will make advances under the Line of Credit, and by substituting for said date “September 1, 2014,” with such change to be effective upon the execution and delivery to Bank of a promissory note dated as of June 14, 2013 (which promissory note shall replace and be deemed the Line of Credit Note defined in and made pursuant to the Credit Agreement) and all other contracts, instruments and documents required by Bank to evidence such change.

2. Section 4.8. (b) is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

“(b) Net income after taxes not less than $1 on a rolling four-quarter basis determined as of each fiscal quarter end, based on the sum of the results of four consecutive quarters consisting of the present quarter and the three preceding quarters; provided, that, there shall be added to net income all charges for impairment of goodwill, other intangibles and up to an aggregate of $5,000,000.00 of store asset impairment on the balance sheet of the Borrower.”

3. Section 7.2. is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this Amendment. This Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together, as one document.

4. Borrower hereby remakes all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set forth therein. Borrower further certifies that as of the date of this Amendment there exists no Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute any such Event of Default.
