Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Results of Operations and F


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 28, 2009, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (the "Company") and all of its domestic subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the "Borrower") entered into a Seventh Amendment to Loan Documents (the "Loan Document Amendment") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), which amends the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") and the Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (the "Revolving Credit Note") with U.S. Bank.

The Loan Document Amendment extends the expiration date of the facility from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2011. The available line of credit remains unchanged at $40 million for the first half of each calendar year with a $50 million seasonal overline on the line of credit to be in effect from July 1 to December 31 of each year. In addition, the minimum tangible net worth covenant was increased from $93 million to $110 million and the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant was reduced from 1.3:1 to 1.2:1. The interest rate was increased from LIBOR plus 1.3% to LIBOR plus 2.05% and the prime rate option, previously prime minus 1.0%, was eliminated. In addition, the commitment fee on the unused portion of the credit line was increased from 0.125% to 0.25%. The Credit Agreement will continue to be secured by the assets of the Borrower and a pledge of 65% of the Borrower's ownership interest in certain of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company does not currently have any outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and is in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants.

As amended by the Loan Document Amendment, the Credit Agreement continues to contain typical representations, warranties and negative covenants, including, among other things, that the Borrower will not incur indebtedness or make any investments in excess of certain thresholds, acquire any subsidiaries, or merge or consolidate with any other entity or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any other company outside the ordinary course of business.

Relationship to U.S. Bank

The Company has or may have had customary banking relationships with U.S. Bank based on the provision of a variety of financial services, including lending, commercial banking and other advisory services.

The foregoing description of the Loan Document Amendment is only a summary of certain terms and conditions of this document and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Document Amendment, which has been filed as Exhibits 10.1 hereto and which is incorporated by reference herein. In addition, the Company has previously filed the Credit Agreement and the Revolving Credit Note as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on August 13, 2008, which documents have also been incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2009 (File No. 001-32320), filed on March 19, 2009; the foregoing description of those documents is also only a summary of certain terms and conditions therein and is qualified in its entirety to such documents as previously filed.
