Effective October 15, 2009, Phoenix Footwear Group, Inc. ("Phoenix Footwear" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries together with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), entered into a Third Amendment to Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement (the "Fourth Amendment"). The Fourth Amendment amends and modifies certain terms of the Credit and Security Agreement dated June 10, 2008 (the "Credit Agreement"), as amended by the Forbearance Agreement and First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement dated July 7, 2009 (the "First Amendment"), the First Amendment to Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement dated July 24, 2009 (the "Second Amendment"), and the Second Amendment to Forbearance Agreement and Third Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement dated September 29, 2009 (the "Third Amendment"), among Phoenix Footwear and its subsidiaries and Wells Fargo.

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

• The borrowing base has been changed by decreasing the inventory sublimit to $2.3 million;

• The percentage of Eligible Inventory, currently at 46%, shall be reduced by one percent (1%) each Business Day beginning on October 26, 2009 through and including the Forbearance Termination Date;

• Upon receipt of the October earn-out payment due from Tandy Brands, Accessories, Inc. (the "October Tandy Payment") in connection with the sales of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Chambers Belt Company, such payment shall be applied in the following order:

• First, to the outstanding amounts of the $170,000 Forbearance Fee due under the First Amendment;

• Second, to the Deferred Accommodation Fee due under the Third Amendment; and

• Third, to the repayment of the Revolving Note, provided that such repayment shall not result in a permanent reduction of the maximum availability.

• Subsequent earn-out payments by Tandy Brands, Accessories, Inc. to Chambers shall be applied to the repayment of the Revolving Note and may not be reborrowed unless consented to by Wells Fargo; and

• The maturity date for the Revolving Note and the expiration of the forbearance period has been extended to October 23, 2009 with various automatic extensions that defer the maturity to November 30, 2009 provided the Company adheres to certain conditions.

Under the Fourth Amendment, Wells Fargo agreed, during a forbearance period, to refrain from exercising any rights and remedies which it is or may become entitled to as a result of the existing past financial covenant defaults (the "Specified Events of Default"). Also, the Fourth Amendment provides for Wells Fargo to continue making advances under the line of credit (except as described above), subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement, excluding, however, the Specified Events of Default (which includes the defaults that have been disclosed to Wells Fargo to date). The forbearance period began on July 9, 2009 and, provided the Company meets certain conditions, ends on October 23, 2009, with various automatic extensions that the maturity date to November 30, 2009, subject to earlier termination at the election of Wells Fargo in the event of an occurrence of any event of default under the Credit Agreement other than the Specified Events of Default, and subject to automatic termination in the event of the occurrence of certain insolvency proceedings involving Phoenix Footwear or its subsidiaries.

The Fourth Amendment also provides that the continuing forbearance by Wells Fargo is conditioned upon Phoenix Footwear's continuing engagement of a financial turnaround consulting firm (which has occurred) to provide specified financial consulting services and the repayment in full of all indebtedness owed to Wells Fargo on or before the maturity date of the Revolving Note. The Fourth Amendment requires Phoenix Footwear to pay a $25,000 accommodation fee on December 1, 2009 unless Phoenix Footwear repays the indebtedness in full on or before November 30, 2009.

The description of the agreements above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the applicable agreements, copies of which will be attached as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 3, 2009.
