Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Completion of Acquisitio


Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement

On July 9, 2009, Chambers and Tandy entered into an Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Amended Purchase Agreement") which amended and restated the Original Purchase Agreement. The Amended Purchase Agreement provided for the additional sale of Chambers' Wrangler brand business together with the private label business. Chambers conducted the Wrangler business under a License Agreement dated January 1, 2007 between Chambers and Wrangler pursuant to which Chambers had the right to sell Wrangler branded products to the mass market (the "Mass License") and a License Agreement dated January 1, 2008 between Chambers and Wrangler pursuant to which Chambers had the right to sell to the western store market (the "Western License").

On July 9, 2009, the transactions contemplated by the Amended Purchase Agreement were closed and in accordance therewith Chambers sold to Tandy substantially all of its assets (excluding, among other assets, accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents). Also Tandy assumed all of Chambers obligations arising after the closing under vendor and customer purchase orders, Chambers' Maquiladora Agreement and certain leases.

Pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement, in partial payment of the purchase price, Tandy paid to Chambers at the closing approximately $3.5 million in immediately available funds, including approximately $2.6 million for inventory. During the first 30 days after closing, Tandy has the right to audit the cost component of the inventory payment. As additional purchase price consideration, during the first 12 months after the closing Tandy is obligated to pay Chambers on a monthly basis 21.5% of the net revenue that Tandy recognizes from sales during this period of Chambers former products. These generally include private label products previously sold by Chambers, Chambers trademark branded products and Wrangler branded products to the mass merchandise market and the western market. Tandy is obligated to pay Chambers minimum earn-out payments that in the aggregate are not less than $2.0 million.

Concurrently with the closing of the Chambers asset sale, Chambers, Tandy and Wrangler entered into an Amendment, Assignment and Assumption of License Agreement pursuant to which Chambers assigned to Tandy all of its rights and Tandy assumed all of Chambers remaining obligations (other than the remaining quarterly royalty obligations due Wrangler which continues to be Chambers' responsibility except in the case of a default on the license by Tandy) under the Mass License (which was amended to extend through and including June 30, 2010). Also, the same parties entered into an Amendment, Assignment and Assumption of License Agreement pursuant to which Chambers assigned to Tandy all of its rights and Tandy assumed all of Chambers remaining obligations under the Western License

The Amended Purchase Agreement contains limited representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification. At the closing, Phoenix Footwear executed and delivered its Guaranty dated July 9, 2008 guaranteeing Chambers post-closing obligations under the Amended Purchase Agreement.

Forbearance Agreement and First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement


Effective July 9, 2009, Phoenix Footwear and its subsidiaries together with Wells Fargo National Bank Association ("Wells Fargo"), entered into an Amendment and Forbearance Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment amends and modifies certain terms of the Credit and Security Agreement dated June 10, 2008 (the "Credit Agreement") among Phoenix Footwear and its subsidiaries and Wells Fargo. In connection with the Amendment, Wells Fargo provided its consent to the Chambers asset sale and released its security interest and lien on the transferred Chambers' assets.

Under the terms of the Amendment, the following changes were made to the Credit Agreement:

• the maximum availability under the line of credit was reduced to $6.5 million (subject to a borrowing base limit),

• the borrowing base was revised to reflect the Chambers asset sale and certain other requirements,

• the interest rate applicable to outstanding advances was changed to a daily three month LIBOR rate plus 5.50%,

• a new affirmative covenant was added that requires Phoenix Footwear to provide Wells Fargo with certain budgets and projections on a weekly basis and to participate in weekly teleconference calls,

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

As reported under Section 1-Item 1.01 "Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement" above, with the Chambers asset sale completed, Chambers plans to wind-down its business by collecting its accounts receivable and Tandy earn-out payments and settling its accounts payable.

In connection with this discontinuance, the Phoenix Footwear estimates that it will incur a pre-tax charge of between $2.1 million and $2.5 million which will be recorded and reported in the second and third quarters of the 2009 fiscal year. The charge is expected to be comprised of approximately $500,000 to $600,000 of cash restructuring charges (related to severance payments and other costs associated with exiting the business) to be paid during the third and fourth quarters of the 2009 fiscal year and approximately $1.6 million to $1.8 million of non-cash restructuring charges (including write-offs of fixed assets, net of gain, and inventory).
