     (d) after giving effect to the relevant Restricted Payment(s) on a Pro Forma Basis, the Borrower may (x) declare and make dividend payments in respect of its Capital Stock and/or (y) repurchase shares of its Capital Stock, if the cumulative amount of all such Restricted Payments (including any Restricted Payment proposed to be made) (A) after the Closing Date to and including the Third Amendment Effective Date would not exceed 25% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (to the extent positive) from the Closing Date to the end of the accounting month immediately preceding the Third Amendment Effective Date, taken as a single period and (B) from and after the Third Amendment Effective Date would not exceed the sum of $50,000,000 and 25% of cumulative Consolidated Net Income (to the extent positive) from August 1, 2007 to the end of the accounting month immediately preceding the date of the action by the board of directors of the Borrower declaring or authorizing the relevant Restricted Payment(s), taken as a single period; provided, however, that, in order to comply with Regulation U issued by the FRB, any shares of the Borrower’s Capital Stock that are repurchased by the Borrower will immediately upon receipt thereof be deemed authorized but unissued shares and the certificates representing such shares, if any, will be marked “canceled”;
     4. Amendment to Section 8.15 of the Credit Agreement. Section 8.15 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, permit any Consolidated Party to (i) permit any Person (other than the Borrower or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower) to own any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of the Borrower, except (A) to qualify directors where required by applicable law or to satisfy other requirements of applicable law with respect to the ownership of Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, (B) as a result of or in connection with a dissolution, merger, consolidation or disposition of a Subsidiary not prohibited by Section 8.04 or Section 8.05, or (C) in connection with certain joint ventures of the Borrower in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 (ii) permit any Subsidiary of the Borrower to issue or have outstanding any shares of preferred Capital Stock or (iii) permit, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of the Borrower, except for Permitted Liens.

     From and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, by execution of this Amendment, each Lender who increases its Revolving Commitment pursuant to the terms hereof, and indicated as such on Exhibit A attached hereto (each, an “Increase Lender”), hereby acknowledges and agrees that its Revolving Commitment as of the Third Amendment Effective Date is the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto.
     The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the Third Amendment Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Credit Agreement) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Amendment.
     7. Condition Precedent to Effectiveness. The amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth herein shall be deemed effective as of the date hereof once the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:
     (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Loan Parties, the Required Lenders and each Increase Lender duly executed counterparts of this Amendment; and
     (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received for each Lender a Federal Reserve Form U-1 duly executed and completed by the Borrower and which indicates that none of the Credit Extensions constitute, or will constitute, “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB (taking into account interpretations issued by the staff of the FRB).
     8. Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, upon giving effect to this Amendment (a) no Default or Event of Default exists and (b) all of the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof (except for those that expressly state that they are made as of an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date).
     9. Ratification of Credit Agreement. Except as expressly modified and amended in this Amendment, all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. The term “this Agreement” or “Credit Agreement” and all similar references as used in each of the Loan Documents shall hereafter mean the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except as herein specifically agreed, the Credit Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms.

performance of this Amendment.
     (b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Person and constitutes such Person’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
     (c) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any court or governmental authority or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Person of this Amendment. The execution, delivery and performance by such Person of this Amendment does not and will not conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any indenture or other material agreement or instrument to which such Person is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or the approval of any Governmental Authority relating to such Person except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

GENESCO REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2007 RESULTS
Company Reports Second Quarter Diluted EPS of $0.24
Revises Guidance for the Balance of Fiscal 2007
Announces Additional Share Repurchase Authorization
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 24, 2006 — Genesco Inc. (NYSE: GCO) today reported earnings of $5.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended July 29, 2006. Earnings were $6.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended July 30, 2005. Earnings for the second quarter of this year included SFAS 123(R) share-based compensation and restricted stock expense of $1.7 million before taxes, or $0.04 per diluted share. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 11% to $304 million compared to $275 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006.
     Genesco Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Hal N. Pennington, said, “Strong performances in Journeys and our wholesale businesses helped to offset weakness in the urban market, reflecting an advantage of our diversified operating model. We also continued to execute our store growth plans during the quarter, opening a total of 47 stores, compared with 40 during the second quarter last year, and increasing square footage by 15% compared to a year ago.
     “Net sales in the Journeys Group increased 15% to approximately $137 million in the second quarter. Same store sales increased 5% and footwear unit comps rose 8%. Athletic footwear, led by board sport shoes, sandals and women’s casuals once again performed well, and we expect these trends to continue through the back to school season. We are excited about Journeys’ prospects for the second half of the year, and we believe its product offerings provide an important point of differentiation to its customer. We remain on plan to open a total of 60 Journeys stores in fiscal 2007.
     “Journeys Kidz posted another strong quarter, with total sales up 51% and same store sales up 12% against a 14% comparison last year. We remain on track to open a total of 25 Kidz stores in

 


 

fiscal 2007 and continue to believe that we can eventually grow this chain to at least 250 stores across the country. Our newest concept, Shi by Journeys, is also performing well. We opened three Shi by Journeys stores during the quarter and now have six stores in operation. Based on the concept’s early success, we now expect to accelerate our Shi by Journeys store opening plans for the balance of fiscal 2007.
     “Net sales at Hat World increased 14% to approximately $79 million and same store sales were flat compared to the same period a year ago. We continued to experience strength in core and fashion-oriented Major League Baseball products, as well as branded action and performance headwear, but this was somewhat offset by softer sales in NCAA and other branded categories like beer and trucker hats. Challenges in the urban market affected the more street fashion-influenced stores while non-urban stores in the group posted a comparable store increase for the quarter. Even with the flat same store sales overall, Hat World generated an 11% operating margin for the quarter, lending support to our strategy of growing Hat World’s highly profitable sales by opening stores. To that end, we now expect to open approximately 100 stores during fiscal 2007, compared to our earlier plan to open 85 to 90 stores. We believe that a solid merchandise position, a promising NFL season, a number of big market MLB teams in the pennant race and an expanded private label and embroidery program all bode well for Hat World in the second half.
     “Net sales for the Underground Station Group, which includes the Jarman stores, were $31 million. Same store sales fell 6% in the second quarter. Same store sales in the Underground Station stores declined 5%, primarily due to weak demand in its men’s athletic business and overall softness in the urban market. Underground Station continued to generate gains in women’s footwear, as well as apparel, accessories and children’s shoes. We expect that Underground Station’s business will remain challenging in the near-term; however, we believe that its growing emphasis on women’s and non-footwear categories will improve the chain’s competitive position in the future.
     “Johnston & Murphy’s net sales increased 2% to $42 million, wholesale sales increased 4% and same store sales for the shops fell 2%. Johnston & Murphy wholesale shipped less off-priced product than in the second quarter last year, which made for a more difficult sales comparison, but benefited margins for the quarter. Feedback on Johnston & Murphy’s product line at the recent

 


 

WSA trade show was very positive. We remain focused on executing our strategic plan and leveraging Johnston & Murphy’s powerful brand equity.
     “Second quarter sales of Licensed Brands rose 16% to $16 million and operating income was up 31% to 8% of sales. Dockers Footwear continues to benefit from a growing demand for moderate, dress and dress casual footwear in general and the brand’s growing status in that market.”
     Genesco said that it is revising its fiscal 2007 guidance for the year ending February 3, 2007, to take a more conservative outlook based on the continued challenging trends in the urban markets. The Company now expects sales of approximately $1.45 billion and diluted earnings per share of $2.50 to $2.54 for the year. The earnings per share estimate includes expected SFAS 123(R) share-based compensation and restricted stock expense totaling approximately $0.17 per share.
     Genesco also announced that its board of directors has authorized the use of up to an additional $30 million in cash to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. The authorization is in addition to a $20 million authorization announced in June 2006. Since announcing the most recent authorization, the Company has used approximately $15.4 million of previous authorizations in open market purchases of approximately 498,000 shares.
     In addition, Genesco announced that it has entered into an amendment to the credit agreement dated as of April 1, 2004, as amended April 10, 2006, governing its revolving credit facility with nine banks. The amendment increased aggregate revolving credit capacity to $105 million from $75 million and raised the limits on the payment of dividends and stock repurchases by the Company.
     This release contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding the Company’s sales and earnings outlook and all other statements not addressing solely historical facts or present conditions. Actual results could vary materially from the expectations reflected in these statements. A number of factors could cause differences. These include weakness in consumer demand for products sold by the Company, fashion trends that affect the sales or product margins of the Company’s retail product offerings, changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period to period sales comparisons, changes in buying patterns by

 


 

significant wholesale customers, disruptions in product supply or distribution, further unfavorable trends in foreign exchange rates and other factors affecting the cost of products, changes in business strategies by the Company’s competitors (including pricing and promotional discounts), the ability to open, staff and support additional retail stores on schedule and at acceptable expense levels and to renew leases in existing stores on schedule and at acceptable expense levels, variations from expected pension-related charges caused by conditions in the financial markets, and the outcome of litigation and environmental matters involving the Company. Forward-looking statements reflect the expectations of the Company at the time they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation to update such statements.
