NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the quarterly period ended October 28, 2006
(unaudited, all amounts in thousands except share and per share amounts unless otherwise indicated)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business — Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”) is a leading specialty retailer of everyday casual apparel, footwear and accessories designed to meet the needs of active teens and young adults. The Company operates four nationwide, primarily mall-based chains of retail stores, under the names “Pacific Sunwear” (as well as “PacSun”), “Pacific Sunwear Outlet” (as well as “PacSun Outlet”), “demo,” and “One Thousand Steps.” Pacific Sunwear and Pacific Sunwear Outlet stores specialize in board-sport inspired casual apparel, footwear and related accessories catering to teens and young adults. demo specializes in fashion-focused street wear, including casual apparel, footwear and related accessories catering to teens and young adults. One Thousand Steps stores specialize in fashion-forward footwear and accessories catering to young adults. The Company launched operations for One Thousand Steps in April 2006 and currently operates nine One Thousand Steps stores. In addition, the Company operates two e-commerce websites (www.pacsun.com and www.demostores.com) which sell PacSun and demo merchandise online, respectively, provide content and a community for its target customers, and provide information about the Company. The Company also operates a third website (www.onethousandsteps.com) that provides store location and product information for One Thousand Steps.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rules 5-02 and 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Pacific Sunwear Stores Corp. and Miraloma Corp.). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended October 28, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 3, 2007 (“fiscal 2006”). For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2006 (“fiscal 2005”).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies is contained in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2005. Presented below in this and the following notes is supplemental information that should be read in conjunction with “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in that report.
New Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 requires that the financial statement effects of a tax position be recognized when, based on the technical merits, the Company believes that the position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold will initially and subsequently be recorded at the largest amount of tax benefit that will more

likely than not be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company must adopt FIN 48 for the fiscal year beginning February 4, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of FIN 48 on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
For a discussion regarding the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” see “Stock-Based Compensation” below in this Note 2.
In October 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period.” FSP 13-1 requires rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases that are incurred during a construction period to be recognized as rental expense. The Company adopted FSP 13-1 at the beginning of fiscal 2006. The Company estimates that the adoption of FSP 13-1 will increase occupancy expenses by approximately $4 million in fiscal 2006.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle, and that a change in method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted SFAS 154 at the beginning of fiscal 2006. The Company does not expect SFAS 154 to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation — On January 29, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) under the modified prospective method. Prior to January 29, 2006, the Company had accounted for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” In accordance with APB 25, no compensation expense was required to be recognized for options granted to employees that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
For fiscal 2006, compensation expense was recognized under the modified prospective method of SFAS 123(R) for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 29, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 28, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company’s financial results for prior periods have not been restated.
Consistent with the valuation method used for the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123 prior to fiscal 2006, the Company is using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of its recognized stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2006. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense to be recognized. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company records stock-based compensation expense using the graded vesting method over the vesting period, which is generally three to four years. The Company’s stock-based awards generally begin vesting one year after the grant date and, for stock options, expire in seven to ten years or three months after termination of employment with the Company. For fiscal 2006, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense resulted from awards of stock options, non-vested shares, and stock appreciation rights, as well as from shares purchased under the Company’s employee share purchase plan.

Table of Contents

For the first nine months of fiscal 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the Company’s stock-based compensation awards was determined using the following weighted average assumptions:
                 
    Fiscal Year  
    2006     2005  
Expected Option Life
  5 years   5 years
Stock Volatility
    41.3% — 48.7 %       53.4% — 62.8%  
Risk-free Interest Rates
    4.6% — 5.1%       3.9% — 4.5%  
Expected Dividends
  None   None
As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company’s net income and earnings per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were $3.3 million and $0.05 lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25 as it did during fiscal 2005. Stock-based compensation expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was included in costs of goods sold for the Company’s buying and distribution employees ($1.5 million) and in selling, general and administrative expense for all other employees ($3.8 million). The adoption of SFAS 123(R) had no impact on the Company’s cash flows.
A summary of stock option activity under the Company’s 2005 Performance Incentive Plan for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 is presented in the following table:

At October 28, 2006, the Company had approximately $18.5 million of compensation cost related to non-vested stock option and non-vested share awards not yet recognized. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.8 years. No vesting of non-vested share awards occurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

Segment Reporting — The Company operates exclusively in the retail apparel industry in which the Company distributes, designs and produces clothing, accessories, footwear and related products catering to the teenage/young adult demographic through primarily mall-based retail stores. The Company has identified four operating segments (PacSun, PacSun Outlet, demo, and One Thousand Steps) as defined by SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” E-commerce operations for PacSun and demo are included in their respective operating segments. The four operating segments have been aggregated into three reportable segments (PacSun, demo and One Thousand Steps). Information for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 concerning each of the three reportable segments is set forth in the following table:

The Company launched operations for One Thousand Steps in April 2006. The Company expects contribution margins for One Thousand Steps to be negative during at least the first full year of operations due to the significant start-up costs incurred in launching the initial nine stores opened to date. demo’s contribution margin was negative during the first nine months of fiscal 2006 primarily due to significant markdown activity taken due to negative comparable store net sales results.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation — The Company is involved from time to time in litigation incidental to its business. Management believes that the outcome of current litigation will not likely have a material adverse effect upon the results of operations or financial condition of the Company and, from time to time, may make provisions for probable litigation losses. Depending on the actual outcome of pending litigation, charges in excess of any provisions could be recorded in the future, which may have a material adverse affect on the Company’s operating results.
Letters of Credit — The Company has issued guarantees in the form of commercial letters of credit, of which there were approximately $21 million outstanding at October 28, 2006, as security for merchandise shipments from overseas. All in-transit merchandise covered by letters of credit is accrued for in accounts payable.

6. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE AND RETIREMENT
The Company entered fiscal 2006 with approximately $50 million remaining to be spent under its stock repurchase plan, which was originally approved by its Board of Directors and announced in January 2004. Over time, the Company’s Board of Directors has continued to authorize additional stock repurchases, including an additional $100 million authorized in May 2006. The repurchase authorizations do not expire until all authorized funds have been expended. In accordance with California law, all repurchased shares are immediately retired. During the first nine months of fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Company made repurchases of its own common stock of $99 million and $44 million, respectively, under these authorizations. The Company did not repurchase any stock during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Details of the Company’s fiscal 2006 share repurchase activity are presented in the table below:

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. We are hereby providing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements of the Company herein. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often, but not always through the use of words or phrases such as “will result,” “expects to,” “will continue,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “intends,” “estimated,” “projects” and “outlook”) are not historical facts and may be forward-looking and, accordingly, such statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this report, including discussions of future comparable store net sales, markdowns, operating margins, average store sales trends, expected effects of reducing the density of inventory in our stores, sufficiency of cash flows from operations to fund operations for the next twelve months, and expected One Thousand Steps contribution margins are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we do not intend, or assume any obligation, to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after such statements are made. See “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of some of the important risks that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Executive Overview
We consider the following items to be key performance indicators in evaluating Company performance:
Comparable store (or “same store”) net sales — Stores are deemed comparable stores on the first day of the month following the one-year anniversary of their opening or expansion/relocation. We consider same store sales to be an important indicator of current Company performance. Same store net sales results are important in achieving operating leverage of certain expenses such as store payroll, store occupancy, depreciation, general and administrative expenses, and other costs that are of a more fixed nature. Positive same store net sales results generate greater operating leverage of expenses while negative same store net sales results negatively impact operating leverage. Same store net sales results also have a direct impact on our total net sales, cash, and working capital. Year-to-date same store net sales are negative for fiscal 2006 and could continue to be negative during the remainder of fiscal 2006.
Net merchandise margins — We analyze the components of net merchandise margins, specifically initial markup and markdowns as a percentage of net sales. Any inability to obtain acceptable levels of initial markups or any significant increase in our use of markdowns could have an adverse impact on our gross margin results and results of operations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we incurred an inventory write-down charge of approximately $11 million at cost, primarily for footwear and accessory categories. Markdowns are expected to remain higher for fiscal 2006 than in fiscal 2005.
Operating margin — We view operating margin as a key indicator of our success. The key drivers of operating margins are comparable store net sales, net merchandise margins, and our ability to control operating expenses. Operating margins for fiscal 2006 are expected to be lower than last year due to negative same-store sales results and the expensing of stock-based compensation and pre-opening rent. See “Stock-Based Compensation” and “New Accounting Pronouncements” within Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of stock-based compensation and pre-opening rent

expenses. For a discussion of the changes in the components comprising operating margins, see “Results of Operations” in this section.
Store sales trends — We evaluate store sales trends in assessing the operational performance of our store expansion strategies. Important store sales trends include average net sales per store and average net sales per square foot. Average net sales per store were $1.3 million in each of fiscal 2005 and 2004. Average net sales per square foot were $371 and $374 in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. If the current year-to-date same-store net sales trend continues, these average store sales trends will likely be lower for fiscal 2006.
Cash flow and liquidity (working capital) — We evaluate cash flow from operations, liquidity and working capital to determine our short-term operational financing needs. We expect cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance operations without borrowing significantly under our credit facility for the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP necessarily requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating reported financial results include the following:
Recognition of Revenue — Sales are recognized upon purchase by customers at our retail store locations or upon delivery to and acceptance by the customer for orders placed through our website. We accrue for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. Actual return rates have historically been within our expectations and the reserves established. However, in the event that the actual rate of sales returns by customers increased significantly, our operational results could be adversely affected. We record the sale of gift cards as a current liability and recognize a sale when a customer redeems a gift card. The amount of the gift card liability is determined taking into account our estimate of the portion of gift cards that will not be redeemed or recovered (“gift card breakage”). Gift card breakage is recognized as revenue after 24 months, at which time the likelihood of redemption is considered remote based on our historical redemption data.
Valuation of Inventories — Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market utilizing the retail method. At any given time, inventories include items that have been marked down to management’s best estimate of their fair market value. We base the decision to mark down merchandise primarily upon its current rate of sale and the age of the item, among other factors. To the extent that our estimates differ from actual results, additional markdowns may have to be recorded, which could reduce our gross margins and operating results.
Determination of Stock-Based Compensation Expense — Effective January 29, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method we recognize compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 28, 2006 and prior to but not yet vested as of, January 28, 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), we recognize stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest using the graded vesting method over the requisite service period of the award. Prior to SFAS 123(R) adoption, we accounted for stock-based payments under APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and accordingly, we were not required to recognize compensation expense for options granted to employees that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Prior periods have not been restated.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based

14


Table of Contents

compensation awards and stock price volatility. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine compensation expense. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. See “Stock-Based Compensation” within Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.
Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets — In the normal course of business, we acquire tangible and intangible assets. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment, and other intangible assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from an asset or asset group are less than its carrying amount. Impairments are recognized in operating earnings. We use our best judgment based on the most current facts and circumstances surrounding our business when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments, and the fair value of a potentially impaired asset. Changes in assumptions used could have a significant impact on our assessment of recoverability. Numerous factors, including changes in our business, industry segment, and the global economy, could significantly impact our decision to retain, dispose of, or idle certain of our long-lived assets.
Evaluation of Insurance Reserves — We are responsible for workers’ compensation and medical insurance claims up to a specified aggregate stop loss amount. We maintain reserves for estimated claims, both reported and incurred but not reported, based on historical claims experience and other estimated assumptions. Actual claims activity has historically been within our expectations and the reserves established. To the extent claims experience or our estimates change, additional charges may be recorded in the future up to the aggregate stop loss amount for each policy year.
Evaluation of Income Taxes — Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current reporting period. The combined federal and state income tax expense was calculated using estimated effective annual tax rates. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future consequences of temporary differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning in assessing the value of our deferred tax assets. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on our judgment. If we determined that it was more likely than not that the carrying value of these assets would not be realized, we would reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value through a valuation allowance, thereby decreasing net income. If we subsequently determined that the carrying value of these assets, which had been written down, would be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.
Evaluation of Litigation Matters — We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to our business. We believe that the outcome of current litigation will not likely have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition and, from time to time, may make provisions for probable litigation losses. Depending on the actual outcome of pending litigation, charges in excess of any provisions could be recorded in the future, which may have an adverse effect on our operating results.

the same period. Total transactions per comparable store were down mid single digits. If the current year-to-date comparable store net sales trend continues, comparable store net sales results could continue to be negative for the remainder of fiscal 2006.
Within PacSun and PacSun Outlet, comparable store net sales of guys’ and girls’ merchandise decreased 1% and 12%, respectively. Guys’ comparable store net sales results were characterized by weakness in accessories, sneakers and tees, offset by strength in non-sneaker footwear, fleece, shorts and long-sleeve knits. Girls’ comparable store net sales results were characterized by weakness in sneakers, short-sleeve tees, casual pants and accessories, only partially offset by strength in non-sneaker footwear, long-sleeve tees and shorts.
Within demo, comparable store net sales of girls’ and guys’ merchandise both decreased 12%, characterized by weakness in tops and basic denim. We continue to expand our assortment of footwear and accessories in demo stores, but these categories were down slightly versus last year. We believe these categories present significant growth opportunities for this concept in the future. We are also continuing to expand and evolve our brand assortment to be more fashion-focused and not solely targeted towards the hip-hop lifestyle.

Gross margin, after buying, distribution and occupancy costs, decreased to $106 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 from $144 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, a decrease of $38 million, or 26%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 28.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 38.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The 10% decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales was largely attributable to higher markdowns in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 ($62 million at cost) compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005 ($36 million at cost), resulting in a 7% decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales. Included in the higher markdown rate was an inventory write-down charge of approximately $11 million at cost during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, targeted primarily at our poorly performing sneaker and accessories businesses in PacSun. We have changed our inventory strategy to operate our stores with a lower overall inventory density, which we believe will allow us to improve the presentation and clarity of our merchandising assortments. Other significant factors contributing to the gross margin decline were a deleveraging of occupancy costs (a decline of 2% in gross margin as a percentage of net sales) as well as distribution and buying costs (a decline of 1% in gross margin as a percentage of net sales) due to the negative same-store sales results in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $93 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006, up from $81 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $12 million, or 14%. These expenses increased to 24.6% as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 from 21.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The components of this 3.1% net increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were as follows:

  Store payroll expenses as a percentage of net sales were 11.8% ($44 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to 10.5% ($40 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. In absolute dollars, these expenses were up primarily due to new store openings. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses were up due to deleveraging them against the negative same-store sales results in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

  Increase in direct store expenses as a percentage of net sales to 7.1% ($27 million) for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 from 5.8% ($22 million) for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. In absolute dollars, these expenses were up primarily due to increased depreciation associated with the addition of 24 net new stores during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and 64 net new stores during the first nine months of fiscal 2006. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses were up due to deleveraging them against the negative same-store sales results in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $0.7 million and $1.6 million in the third quarters of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively. Interest income generated by higher interest rates was offset by the Company having lower average cash and short-term investment balances during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The lower cash and investment balances were the result of stock repurchase activity earlier in the year (see Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) and negative same-store sales results.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $25 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The effective income tax rate was 38.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 versus 37.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the expected stock-based compensation expense impacts of SFAS 123R (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Our weighted average effective state income tax rate will vary over time depending on a number of factors, such as differing average income tax rates and net incomes in the respective states. Our effective income tax rate may continue to change during fiscal 2006 due to the launch of One Thousand Steps, the construction of a second distribution center, and other planned business events.

Of the 5% decrease in comparable store net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2006, PacSun and PacSun Outlet comparable store net sales decreased 5% and demo comparable store net sales decreased 7%. In percentage terms, the average sale transaction was up slightly and average retail prices in a comparable store were down slightly. Total transactions per comparable store were down mid single digits. If the year-to-date comparable store net sales trend continues, comparable store net sales results could continue to be negative for the remainder of fiscal 2006.
Within PacSun and PacSun Outlet, comparable store net sales of guys’ and girls’ merchandise decreased 1% and 9%, respectively. Guys’ comparable store net sales results were characterized by weakness in sneakers, accessories, wovens, fashion denim and tees, offset by strength in shorts, non-sneaker footwear, basic denim, and knits. Girls’ comparable store net sales results were primarily characterized by weakness in sneakers, short-sleeve tees, fashion denim and woven tops, only partially offset by strength in shorts, swimwear, long-sleeve tees and non-sneaker footwear.
Within demo, comparable store net sales of guys’ and girls’ merchandise decreased 10% and 4%, respectively, both characterized by weakness in tops and basic denim. We continue to expand our assortment of footwear and accessories in demo stores as we believe these categories present significant future growth opportunities for this concept. Year-to-date, these categories were up significantly versus last year. We are also continuing to expand and evolve our brand assortment to be more fashion-focused and not solely targeted towards the hip-hop lifestyle.
Gross Margin
Gross margin, after buying, distribution and occupancy costs, decreased to $301 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 from $352 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005, a decrease of $51 million, or 15%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 30.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 36.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The 6% decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales was largely attributable to higher markdowns in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 ($131 million at cost) compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2005 ($94 million at cost), resulting in a 4% decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales. Included in the higher markdown rate was an inventory write-down charge of approximately $11 million at cost during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, targeted primarily at our poorly performing sneaker and accessories businesses in PacSun.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $4 million in the first nine months of each of fiscal 2006 and 2005. Interest income generated by higher interest rates was offset by the Company having lower average cash and short-term investment balances during fiscal 2006 versus 2005. The lower cash and investment balances were the result of stock repurchase activity earlier in the year (see Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) and negative same-store sales results.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $19 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to $48 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The effective income tax rate was 38.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as compared to 37.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to stock-based compensation (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Our weighted average effective state income tax rate will vary over time depending on a number of factors, such as differing average income tax rates and net incomes in the respective states. Our effective income tax rate may continue to change during fiscal 2006 due to the launch of One Thousand Steps, the construction of a second distribution center, and other planned business events.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations primarily from internally generated cash flow, with occasional short-term and long-term borrowings as business needs have required. Our primary capital requirements are typically for the construction of newly opened, remodeled, expanded or relocated stores, the financing of inventories and, in the past, construction of corporate facilities. We believe that our working capital and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements without borrowing significantly under our credit facility for at least the next twelve months.

Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $85 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to $87 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The $2 million decrease in cash provided by operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 versus the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was attributable to the following:

Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was $32 million versus $73 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005, an increase in cash flows from investing activities of $41 million. Investing cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were comprised of capital expenditures of $107 million, partially offset by $75 million in net maturities of marketable securities. Capital expenditures were predominantly for the opening of new, relocated and expanded stores and improving the visual presentation of our stores. Due to the increasing interest rate environment during fiscal 2006, the Company has liquidated longer-term marketable securities (original maturity period of 3 months to one year) as they matured in favor of shorter-term marketable securities (original maturity of less than 3 months) in order to take advantage of the increasing interest rates.
Fiscal 2007 Store Opening Plans
Given the current trend in our business, we feel it is prudent to slow the pace of our store openings for fiscal 2007. As a result, we currently anticipate opening approximately 40 new stores and 30-35 expansions/relocations during fiscal 2007, primarily focused within the PacSun concept. This will result in total square footage growth for fiscal 2007 of approximately four percent.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was $92 million compared to $32 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The Company repurchased and retired common stock in the amount of $99 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as compared to $44 million in the

first nine months of fiscal 2005. Proceeds from employee exercises of stock options were $6 million lower in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 ($7 million) than in the first nine months of fiscal 2005 ($13 million).
Information regarding the Company’s common stock repurchase program is contained in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, which note is incorporated herein by this reference.
Credit Facility
We have an unsecured $200 million credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders which expires September 14, 2010. The credit facility provides for a $200 million revolving line of credit that can be increased to up to $275 million at our option under certain circumstances. The credit facility is available for direct borrowing and the issuance of letters of credit with a portion also available for swing-line loans. Direct borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the Administrative Agent’s alternate base rate (as defined, 5.3% at October 28, 2006) or at optional interest rates that are primarily dependent upon LIBOR for the time period chosen. We had no direct borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at October 28, 2006. The credit facility requires us to maintain certain financial covenants, all of which we were in compliance with as of October 28, 2006.
Contractual Obligations
We have minimum annual rental commitments under existing store leases as well as leases for computer and other equipment as of October 28, 2006. We lease all of our retail store locations under operating leases. We lease equipment primarily under operating leases, but also occasionally under capital leases. In addition, at any time, we are contingently liable for commercial letters of credit with foreign suppliers of merchandise. At October 28, 2006, our future financial commitments under these arrangements were as follows:
                                         
Contractual Obligations   Payments Due by Period
(in $millions)   Total   Less than 1 year   1-3 years   3-5 years   More than 5 years
Operating lease obligations

    21       21                    
Total
  $ 702     $ 129     $ 206     $ 171     $ 196  
The contractual obligations table above does not include common area maintenance (CAM) charges, which are also a required contractual obligation under our store operating leases. In many of our leases, CAM charges are not fixed and can fluctuate significantly from year to year for any particular store. Total store rental expenses, including CAM for fiscal 2005 and 2004 were $161 million and $138 million, respectively. We expect total CAM expenses to continue to increase as the number of stores increases from year to year.
Operating Leases — We lease our retail stores and certain equipment under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through January 2019. Substantially all of our retail store leases require us to pay CAM charges, insurance, property taxes and percentage rent ranging from 5% to 7% based on sales volumes exceeding certain minimum sales levels. The initial terms of such leases are typically 8 to 10 years, many of which contain renewal options exercisable at our discretion. Most leases also contain rent escalation clauses that come into effect at various times throughout the lease term. Rent expense is recorded under the straight-line method over the initial term of the lease. Other rent escalation clauses can take effect based on changes in primary mall tenants throughout the term of a given lease. Most leases also contain cancellation or kick-out clauses in our favor that relieve us of any future obligation under a lease if specified sales levels are not achieved by a specified date. None of our retail store leases contain purchase options.
We review the operating performance of our stores on an ongoing basis to determine which stores, if any, to expand, relocate or close. We anticipate closing approximately five to ten stores during fiscal 2006.

Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. We maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors and officers in certain circumstances.
It is not possible to determine our maximum potential liability under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Such indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, we have not incurred material costs as a result of obligations under these agreements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended October 28, 2006, which note is incorporated herein by this reference.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the results of operations in the recent past. There can be no assurance that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.
Seasonality and Quarterly Results
Our business is seasonal by nature. Our first quarter historically accounts for the smallest percentage of annual net sales with each successive quarter contributing a greater percentage than the last. In recent years, excluding sales generated by new and relocated/expanded stores, 44% of our net sales have occurred in the first half of the fiscal year and 56% have occurred in the second half, with the Christmas and back-to-school selling periods together accounting for approximately 30% of our annual net sales and a higher percentage of our operating income. Our quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including the timing of store openings; the amount of revenue contributed by new stores; the timing and level of markdowns; the timing of store closings, expansions and relocations; competitive factors; and general economic conditions.
ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
To the extent we borrow under our credit facility, we are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. At October 28, 2006, there were no borrowings outstanding under our credit facility and we did not borrow under the credit facility at any time during fiscal 2006 or 2005. Based on the interest rate of 5.3% on our credit facility at October 28, 2006, if interest rates on the credit facility were to increase by 10%, net income would not be materially affected. We are not a party to any derivative financial instruments.

ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports filed with the Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 28, 2006.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 — Legal Proceedings
For information on legal proceedings, see “Litigation” within Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 1.
Item 1A — Risk Factors
We have updated and expanded our risk factors from those disclosed in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2006, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006. We have added risk factors addressing future growth prospects for the Company, competition in the retail environment, vendor relationships, store design, and information system infrastructure. In addition, we have revised the captions of our risk factors to describe in more detail the principal concept addressed in the text of the related risk factor.
Our comparable store net sales results will fluctuate significantly, which can cause volatility in our operating performance and stock price.
Our comparable store net sales results have fluctuated significantly on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. For example, over the past five years, monthly comparable store net sales results have varied from a low of minus 11% to a high of plus 20%. A variety of factors affect our comparable store net sales results, including changes in fashion trends and customer preferences, changes in our merchandise mix, calendar shifts of holiday periods, actions by competitors, weather conditions and general economic conditions. Our comparable store net sales results for any particular fiscal month, quarter or year may decrease. As a result of these or other factors, our comparable store net sales results, both past and future, are likely to have a significant effect on our operating performance and the market price of our common stock.
Our failure to identify and respond appropriately to changing consumer preferences and fashion trends in a timely manner could have a material adverse impact on our profitability.
Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to gauge the fashion tastes of our customers and to provide merchandise at competitive prices and in adequate quantities that satisfies customer demand in a timely manner. Our failure to anticipate, identify or react appropriately in a timely manner to changes in fashion trends could have a material adverse effect on our same store sales results, gross margins, operating margins, financial condition and results of operations. Misjudgments or unanticipated fashion changes could also have a material adverse effect on our image with our customers. Some of our vendors have limited resources, production capacities and operating histories and some have intentionally limited the distribution of their merchandise. The inability or unwillingness on the part of key vendors to expand their operations to keep pace with the anticipated growth of our store concepts, or the loss of one or more key vendors or proprietary brand sources for any reason, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our continued growth depends on our ability to develop new store concepts and open new stores in our existing concepts. Any failure to do so may negatively impact our stock price and operational performance.
Our continued growth depends to a significant degree on the success of our existing retail stores, our ability to open and operate stores on a profitable basis, and to manage our planned expansion. Our store concepts are located principally in enclosed regional shopping malls. Our PacSun concept is a relatively mature concept with limited domestic opportunities to open new stores in such malls. The performance of our demo concept has been inconsistent and the size of the market for this concept is uncertain. Our newest concept, One Thousand Steps, is at a very early stage (nine stores) and is not yet proven. Given the current trend of our business, we have slowed the pace of planned store openings for fiscal 2007. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our planned expansion, that such expansion will be profitable, or that we will be able to manage our growth effectively. In addition, our ability to sustain future long-term growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to successfully develop, implement and evolve new retail concepts, including demo and One Thousand Steps. Our planned expansion is dependent upon a number of factors, including the performance of our existing stores, our ability to locate and obtain favorable store sites, negotiate acceptable lease terms, obtain adequate supplies of merchandise and hire and train additional qualified management level and other employees with the skills required to create or acquire new, unrelated retail concepts. Factors beyond our control may also affect our ability to expand, including general economic and business conditions affecting consumer spending. Any failure to manage growth or develop profitable new retail concepts could have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price, financial condition and results of operations.
We launched operations of a new retail concept, One Thousand Steps, in fiscal 2006, which could divert attention from existing operations.
We have launched operations for One Thousand Steps in fiscal 2006 through the opening of the first nine test stores. This new concept is at a very early stage and is not yet proven. Our ability to make this new retail concept successful is subject to numerous risks, including, but not limited to, (i) lower productivity (in terms of sales per square foot) than anticipated or required to make the concept profitable and expandable, (ii) higher than anticipated construction costs, (iii) unanticipated operating problems, (iv) lack of customer acceptance, (v) new vendor relationships, (vi) competition from existing and new retailers, and (vii) lack of sufficient product differentiation. There can be no assurance that this new retail concept will achieve sales and profitability levels that justify the Company’s investment in it. Additionally, the expansion of this new retail concept involves other risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including, but not limited to, (i) diversion of management’s attention from the Company’s core businesses, (ii) inability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel, including management and product designers, and (iii) difficulty in locating and obtaining favorable store sites and negotiating acceptable lease terms. Any inability to succeed in developing this new retail concept could have a material adverse effect on our continued growth and results of operations.
We face significant competition from both vertically-integrated and brand-based competitors that are growing rapidly, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The retail apparel, footwear and accessory business is highly competitive. All of our store concepts compete on a national level with a diverse group of retailers, including vertically-integrated and brand-based national, regional and local specialty retail stores and certain leading department stores that offer the same or similar brands and styles of merchandise as we do. Many of our competitors are larger and have significantly greater resources than we do. We believe the principal competitive factors in our industry are fashion, merchandise assortment, quality, price, store location, environment and customer service.
Our customers may not prefer our proprietary brand merchandise, which may negatively impact our profitability.
Sales from proprietary brand merchandise accounted for approximately 31%, 30%, and 32% of net sales in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve increases in proprietary brand merchandise sales as a percentage of net sales. Because our proprietary brand merchandise generally carries higher merchandise margins than our other merchandise, our failure to anticipate, identify and react in a timely manner to fashion trends with our proprietary brand merchandise, particularly if the percentage of net sales derived from proprietary brand merchandise changes significantly

(up or down), may have a material adverse effect on our same store sales results, operating margins, financial condition and results of operations.
Our current or prospective vendors may be unable or unwilling to supply us with adequate quantities of their merchandise in a timely manner or at acceptable prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.
The success of our business is dependant upon developing and maintaining good relationships with our vendors. We work very closely with our vendors to develop and acquire appropriate merchandise at acceptable prices for our stores. However, we do not have any contractual relationships with our vendors. In addition, some of our vendors are relatively unsophisticated or underdeveloped and may have difficulty in providing adequate quantities or quality of merchandise to us in a timely manner. Also, certain of our vendors sell their merchandise directly to retail customers in direct competition with us. Our vendors could discontinue their relationship with us or raise prices on their merchandise at any time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire sufficient quantities of quality merchandise at acceptable prices in a timely manner in the future. Any inability to do so, or the loss of one or more of our key vendors, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our foreign sources of production may not always be reliable, which may result in a disruption in the flow of new merchandise to our stores.
We purchase merchandise directly in foreign markets for our proprietary brands. In addition, we purchase merchandise from domestic vendors, some of which is manufactured overseas. We do not have any long-term merchandise supply contracts and our imports are subject to existing or potential duties, tariffs and quotas. We face competition from other companies for production facilities and import quota capacity. We also face a variety of other risks generally associated with doing business in foreign markets and importing merchandise from abroad, such as: (i) political instability; (ii) enhanced security measures at United States ports, which could delay delivery of imports; (iii) imposition of new legislation relating to import quotas that may limit the quantity of goods which may be imported into the United States from countries in a region within which we do business; (iv) imposition of duties, taxes, and other charges on imports; (v) delayed receipt or non-delivery of goods due to the failure of foreign-source suppliers to comply with applicable import regulations; (vi) delayed receipt or non-delivery of goods due to organized labor strikes or unexpected or significant port congestion at United States ports; and (vii) local business practice and political issues, including issues relating to compliance with domestic or international labor standards which may result in adverse publicity. New initiatives may be proposed that may have an impact on the trading status of certain countries and may include retaliatory duties or other trade sanctions that, if enacted, would increase the cost of products purchased from suppliers in countries that we do business with. Any inability on our part to rely on our foreign sources of production due to any of the factors listed above could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are currently evaluating store design alternatives for all of our retail concepts, which may not result in improved operational performance.
We believe that store design is an important element in the customer shopping experience. Many of our stores have been in operation for many years and have not been updated or renovated since opening. Some of our competitors are in the process of updating, or have updated, their store designs, which may make our stores appear less attractive visually. We have been testing or plan to test new store design alternatives for all of our retail concepts in an attempt to update the look of our stores and improve their productivity. This process carries additional risks such as higher than anticipated construction costs, lack of customer acceptance, and lower store productivity than planned or anticipated, among others. There can be no assurance that this process will prove successful in improving operational results or that we can achieve meaningful results in an adequate timeframe. Any inability on our part to successfully implement new store designs in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business at any time.
Our continued success is dependent to a significant degree upon the services of our key personnel, particularly our executive officers. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our

success in the future will also be dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our information systems may not be adequate to support future growth, which could disrupt business operations.
We have experienced periods of rapid growth in the past. While we regularly evaluate our information systems capabilities and requirements, there can be no assurance that our existing information systems will be adequate to support future growth or will remain adequate to support the existing needs of our business. In order to support future growth, we may have to undertake significant information system implementations, modifications and/or upgrades in the future at significant cost to us. Such projects involve inherent risks associated with replacing and/or changing existing systems, such as system disruptions and the failure to accurately capture data, among others. Information system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Adverse outcomes of litigation matters could significantly affect our operational results.
We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to our business. We believe that the outcome of current litigation will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations or financial condition. However, our assessment of current litigation could change in light of the discovery of facts with respect to legal actions pending against us not presently known to us or determinations by judges, juries or other finders of fact which do not accord with our evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation.
Our dependence on a single distribution facility exposes us to significant business disruption risks.
All of our current distribution functions continue to reside within a single facility in Anaheim, California. The Company has purchased land in Olathe, Kansas and plans to construct a second distribution center at that site. This new distribution center is currently expected to become operational during fiscal 2007. Any significant interruption in the operation of the existing distribution facility due to natural disasters, accidents, system failures or other unforeseen causes would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that our current and planned distribution centers will be adequate to support our future growth.
Our stock price can fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, which can negatively impact our total market value.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially and there can be no assurance that the market price of the common stock will not continue to fluctuate significantly. Future announcements or management discussions concerning the Company or its competitors, net sales and profitability results, quarterly variations in operating results or comparable store net sales, changes in earnings estimates made by management or analysts, or changes in accounting policies, among other factors, could cause the market price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume volatility in the past. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many public companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies.
Selling merchandise over the internet carries particular risks that can have a negative impact on our business.
Our internet operations are subject to numerous risks that could have a material adverse effect on our operational results, including unanticipated operating problems, reliance on third party computer hardware and software providers, system failures and the need to invest in additional computer systems. Specific risks include: (i) diversion of sales from our stores; (ii) rapid technological change; (iii) liability for online content; and (iv) risks related to the failure of the computer systems that operate the website and its related support systems, including computer viruses, telecommunication failures and electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. In addition, internet operations involve risks which are beyond our control that could have a material adverse effect on our operational results, including: (i) price competition involving the items we intend to sell; (ii) the entry of our vendors into the internet business, in direct competition with us;

27

(iii) the level of merchandise returns experienced by us; (iv) governmental regulation; (v) online security breaches involving unauthorized access to Company and/or customer information; (vi) credit card fraud; and (vii) competition and general economic conditions specific to the internet, online commerce and the apparel industry.
Any failure by us to maintain credit facility financial covenants could have a material adverse impact on our business.
A significant decrease in our operating results could adversely affect our ability to maintain required financial ratios under our credit facility. Required financial ratios include a rolling four-quarter minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as well as a maximum leverage ratio. If these financial ratios are not maintained, the lenders will have the option to terminate the facility and require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the credit facility, if any. The alternatives available to the Company if in default of its covenants would include renegotiating certain terms of the credit agreement, obtaining waivers from the lenders, or obtaining a new credit agreement with another bank or group of lenders, which may contain different terms.
The effects of terrorism or war could significantly impact consumer spending and our operational performance.
The majority of our stores are located in regional shopping malls. Any threat or actual act of terrorism, particularly in public areas, could lead to lower customer traffic in regional shopping malls. In addition, local authorities or mall management could close regional shopping malls in response to any immediate security concern. Mall closures, as well as lower customer traffic due to security concerns, could result in decreased sales. Additionally, war or the threat of war could significantly diminish consumer spending, resulting in decreased sales for the Company. Decreased sales would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
*************
We caution that the risk factors described above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on behalf of the Company. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

EX-3.1 2 a25601exv3w1.txt EXHIBIT 3.1 EXHIBIT 3.1 THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS FOR THE REGULATION, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR ITS ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, OF PACIFIC SUNWEAR OF CALIFORNIA, INC. A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION ARTICLE I OFFICES SECTION 1. PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICE. The corporation's principal executive office shall be fixed and located at such place as the Board of Directors shall determine. The Board of Directors is granted full power and authority to change the principal executive office from one location to another. SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES. Other business offices may at any time be established by the Board of Directors at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business. ARTICLE II MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS SECTION 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All annual or other meetings of shareholders shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation, or at any other place within or without the State of California which may be designated by the Board of Directors or by the written consent of all persons entitled to vote thereat and not present at the meeting, given either before or after the meeting and filed with the secretary of the corporation. SECTION 2. ANNUAL MEETINGS. The annual meetings of shareholders shall be held on such dates and at such times as shall be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting given to each shareholder as provided below. At such meetings, directors shall be elected, reports of the affairs of the corporation shall be considered, and any other business may be transacted which is within the powers of the shareholders. Written notice of each annual meeting shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote, either personally or by mail or other means of written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to such shareholder at its address appearing on the books of the corporation or given to the corporation for the purpose of notice. If any notice or report addressed to the shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice or report to the shareholder at such address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available for the shareholder upon written demand of the shareholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of the notice or report to all other shareholders. If a shareholder gives no address, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent by mail or other means of written communication addressed to the place where the principal executive office of the corporation is situated, or if published at least once in some newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the principal executive office is located. All such notices shall be given to each shareholder entitled thereto not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before each annual meeting. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication. An affidavit of mailing of any such notice in accordance with the foregoing provisions, executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the corporation, shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of the notice. Such notices shall specify: (a) the place, the date, and the hour of such meeting; (b) those matters which the Board, at the time of the mailing of the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders at the meeting; (c) if directors are to be elected, the names of nominees intended at the time of the notice to be presented by management for election; (d) the general nature of a proposal, if any, to take action with respect to approval of (i) a contract or other transaction with an interested director, (ii) amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation as defined in Section 181 of the California General Corporation Law (the "CGCL"), (iv) voluntary dissolution of the corporation, or (v) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, if any; and (e) such other matters, if any, as may be expressly required by statute. SECTION 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the shareholders for the purpose of taking any action permitted by the shareholders under the CGCL and the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation, may be called at any time by the chairman of the Board or the chief executive officer (if there shall be such an officer or officers) or the president, or by any two directors, or by holders of shares entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at the meeting. Upon request in writing that a special meeting of shareholders be called for any proper purpose, directed to the chairman of the Board, president, vice president or secretary by any person (other than the Board) entitled to call a special meeting of shareholders, the officer forthwith shall cause notice to be given to shareholders entitled to vote that a meeting will be held at a time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request. Except in special cases where other express provision is made by statute, notice of such special meetings shall be given in the same manner as for the annual meeting of shareholders. In addition to the matters required by items (a) and, if applicable, (c) of the preceding Section, notice of any special meeting shall specify the general nature of the business to be transacted, and no other business may be transacted at such meeting. SECTION 4. QUORUM. The presence in person or by proxy of the persons entitled to vote a majority of the shares at any meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at that meeting. The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the 2 withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. SECTION 5. ADJOURNED MEETING AND NOTICE THEREOF. Any shareholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares, the holders of which are either present in person or by proxy thereat, but in the absence of a quorum no other business may be transacted at such meeting, except as provided in Section 4 above. When any shareholders' meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned for forty-five days or more, or if after adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Except as provided above, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted thereat, other than by announcement of the time and place of the adjourned meeting at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. SECTION 6. VOTING. Unless a record date for voting purposes be fixed as provided in Section 1 of Article V of these Bylaws, then, subject to the provisions of Sections 702 and 704, inclusive, of the CGCL (relating to voting of shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of a corporation, or in joint ownership) only persons in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the corporation at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given or if such notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting of shareholders is held, shall be entitled to vote at such meeting, and such day shall be the record date for such meeting. Such vote may be viva voce or by ballot; provided, however, that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand made by a shareholder at any election and before the voting begins. If a quorum is present, except with respect to election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and voting on the matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the CGCL or the Articles of Incorporation. Subject to the requirements of the next sentence and any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation, every shareholder entitled to vote at any election for directors shall have the right to cumulate its votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which its shares are entitled, or to distribute its votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such shareholder shall think fit. No shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes unless the name of the candidate or candidates for whom such votes would be cast has been placed in nomination prior to the meeting, and any shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of such shareholder's intention to cumulate its votes. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes of shares entitled to be voted for them, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected. SECTION 7. VALIDATION OF DEFECTIVE CALLED OR NOTICED MEETINGS. The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, whether before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, or who, though present, has, at the beginning of the meeting, properly objected to the transaction of any business thereat because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened, or to particular matters of business legally required 3 to be included in the notice, but not so included, signs a written waiver of notice, or a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. SECTION 8. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING. Subject to any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation, directors may be elected without a meeting by consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, signed by all of the persons who would be entitled to vote for the election of directors, provided that, without notice except as hereinafter set forth, a director may be elected at any time to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors not filled by the directors by the written consent of persons holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors. Subject to any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation, any other action which, under any provision of the CGCL, may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, and without notice except as hereinafter set forth, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing, (a) Notice of any proposed shareholder approval of a (i) contract or other transaction with an interested director, (ii) indemnification of an agent of the corporation as authorized by Section 15 of Article III of these Bylaws, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation as defined in Section 181 of the CGCL, or (iv) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, if any, without a meeting shall be given a least ten (10) days before consummation of the action authorized by such approval; and (b) Prompt notice shall be given of the taking of any other corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. Such notices shall be given in the manner and shall be deemed to have been given as provided in Section 2 of Article II of these Bylaws. Unless, as provided in Section 1 of Article V of these Bylaws, the Board of Directors has fixed a record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to give such written consent, the record date for such determination shall be the day on which the first written consent is given. All such written consents shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation. Any shareholder giving a written consent, or the shareholder's proxyholders, or a transferee of the shares or a personal representative of the shareholder or their respective proxyholders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the corporation prior to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the secretary of the corporation, but may not do so thereafter. Such revocation is effective upon its receipt by the secretary of the corporation. 4 SECTION 9. PROXIES. Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the right to do so whether in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or such person's duly authorized agent and filed with the secretary of the corporation. Any proxy duly executed is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until (i) an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date is filed with the secretary of the corporation prior to the vote pursuant thereto, (ii) the person executing the proxy attends the meeting and votes in person, or (iii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of the proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant thereto is counted; provided that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which such proxy is to continue in force. SECTION 10. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may appoint any person other than nominees for office as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election be not so appointed, the chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or its proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares represented in person or by proxy shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall, be filled by appointment by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting, or at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting. The duties of such inspectors shall be as prescribed by Section 707 of the CGCL and shall include determining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots or consents; hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents; determining when the polls close; determining the result; and such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. In the determination of the validity and effect of proxies, the dates contained on the forms of proxy shall presumptively determine the order of execution of the proxies, regardless of the postmark dates on the envelopes in which they are mailed. The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there be three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. ARTICLE III DIRECTORS SECTION 1. POWERS. Subject to limitations of the Articles of Incorporation and the CGCL as to action to be authorized or approved by the shareholders, and subject to the duties of 5 directors as prescribed by these Bylaws, all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the corporation shall be controlled by, the Board of Directors. Without prejudice to such general powers, but subject to the same limitations, it is hereby expressly declared that the directors shall have the following powers, to wit: First - To select and remove all the officers, agents and employees of the corporation, prescribe such powers and duties for them as may not be inconsistent with law, with the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, fix their compensation and require from them security for faithful service. Second - To conduct, manage and control the affairs and business of the corporation, and to make such rules and regulations therefor not inconsistent with law, or with the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, as they may deem best. Third - To adopt, make and use a corporate seal, and to prescribe the forms of certificates of stock, and to alter the form of such seal and of such certificates from time to time, as in their judgment they may deem best, provided such seal and such certificates shall at all times comply with the provisions of law. Fourth - To authorize the issue of shares of stock of the corporation from time to time, upon such terms as may be lawful. Fifth - To borrow money and incur indebtedness for the purposes of the corporation, and to cause to be executed and delivered therefor, in the corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations or other evidences of debt and securities therefor. Sixth - By resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors, to designate an executive and other committees, each consisting of two or more directors, to serve at the pleasure of the Board, and to prescribe the manner in which proceedings of such committees shall be conducted. Unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise prescribe the manner of proceedings of any such committee, meetings of such committee may be regularly scheduled in advance and may be called at any time by any two members thereof; otherwise, the provisions of these Bylaws with respect to notice and conduct of meetings of the Board shall govern. Any such committee, to the extent provided in a resolution of the Board, shall have all of the authority of the Board, except with respect to: (i) the approval of any action for which the CGCL or the Articles of Incorporation also require shareholder approval; (ii) the filling of vacancies on the Board or in any committee; (iii) the fixing of compensation of the directors for serving on the Board or on any committee; (iv) the adoption, amendment or repeal of bylaws; 6 (v) the amendment or repeal of any resolution of the Board which by its express terms is not so amendable or repealable; (vi) any distribution to the shareholders, except at a rate or in a periodic amount or within a price range determined by the Board; (vii) the appointment of other committees of the Board or the members thereof. SECTION 2. NUMBER AND QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS. The authorized number of directors shall be not less than five or more than nine until changed by Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or by a bylaw duly adopted by approval of the outstanding shares. The exact number of directors shall be fixed, within the limits specified, by amendment of the next sentence duly adopted either by the Board of Directors or the shareholders. The exact number of directors shall be seven until changed as provided in this Section 2. SECTION 3. ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE. This section shall become effective only when this corporation becomes a listed corporation within the meaning of Section 301.5 of the CGCL. In the event that the authorized number of directors shall be fixed with at least six (6) but less than nine (9) directors, the Board of Directors shall be divided into two classes, designated Class I and Class II, effective as of the first annual meeting following the effective date of this Bylaw (the "Initial Annual Meeting"). Each class shall consist of one-half of the directors or as close an approximation as possible. The initial term of office of the directors of Class I shall expire at the annual meeting to be held during the fiscal year following the Initial Annual Meeting, and the initial term of office of the directors of Class II shall expire at the annual meeting to be held during the second fiscal year following the Initial Annual Meeting. At each annual meeting, commencing with the first annual meeting following the Initial Annual Meeting, each of the successors to the directors of the class whose term shall have expired at such annual meeting shall be elected for a term running until the second annual meeting next succeeding his or her election and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. In the event that the authorized number of directors shall be fixed at nine (9) or more, the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, effective as of the first annual meeting coinciding with or following the division into three classes (the "Effective Date"). Each class shall consist of one-third of the directors or as close an approximation as possible. The initial term of office of the directors of Class I shall expire at the annual meeting to be held during the first fiscal year following the Effective Date, the initial term of office of the directors of Class II shall expire at the annual meeting to be held during second fiscal year following the Effective Date and the initial term of office of the directors of Class III shall expire at the annual meeting to be held during the third fiscal year following the Effective Date. At each annual meeting, commencing with the first annual meeting following the Effective Date, each of the successors to the directors of the class whose term shall have expired at such annual meeting shall be elected for a term running until the third annual meeting next succeeding his or her election and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected qualified. 7 Notwithstanding the rule that the classes shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as possible, in the event of any change in the authorized number of directors, each director then continuing to serve as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member until the expiration of his or her current term, or his or her prior death, resignation or removal. At each annual election, the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be of the same class as the directors they succeed, unless, by reason of any intervening changes in the authorized number of directors, the Board of Directors shall designate one or more directorships whose term then expires as directorships of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality of number of directors among the classes. This section only may be amended or repealed by the approval of the Board of Directors and the outstanding shares (as defined in Section 152 of the CGCL) voting as a single class, notwithstanding Section 903 of the CGCL. SECTION 4. VACANCIES. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in the case of the death, resignation or removal of any director, if a director has been declared of unsound mind by order of court or convicted of a felony, if the authorized number of directors be increased, or if the shareholders fail, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which any director or directors are elected, to elect the full authorized number of directors to be voted for at that meeting. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his or her term of office. Subject to any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation, vacancies in the Board of Directors, except for a vacancy created by the removal of a director, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director; and each director so elected shall hold office until his or her successor is elected at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders. Subject to any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation, a vacancy in the Board of Directors created by the removal of a director may only be filled by the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present, or, subject to any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation, by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares. Subject to any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation, the shareholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors. Any such election by written consent shall require the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Any director may resign effective upon giving written notice to the chairman of the Board, the president, the secretary of the Board or the Board of Directors of the corporation, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation. If the Board of Directors accepts the resignation of a director tendered to take effect at a future time, the Board or, subject to any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation, the shareholders shall have the power to elect a successor to take office when the resignation is to become effective. 8 SECTION 5. PLACE OF MEETING. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at any place within or without the State of California which has been designated from time to time by resolution of the Board or by written consent of all members of the Board. In the absence of such designation, regular meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation. Special meetings of the Board may be held either at a place so designated or at the principal executive office of the corporation. SECTION 6. ORGANIZATION MEETING. Immediately following each annual meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors shall hold a regular meeting at the place of said annual meeting or at such other place as shall be fixed by the Board, for the purpose of organization of the newly elected Board, election of officers, and the transaction of other business. Call and notice of such meetings are hereby dispensed with. SECTION 7. OTHER REGULAR MEETINGS. Other regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held without call as provided in a resolution adopted by the Board from time to time; provided, however, should said day fall upon a legal holiday, then said meeting shall be held at the same time on the next day thereafter ensuing which is a full business day. Notice of all such regular meetings of the Board of Directors is hereby dispensed with. SECTION 8. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairman of the Board or the chief executive officer (if there shall be such an officer or officers), the president, any vice president or the secretary, or by any two directors. Written notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered personally to each director or communicated to each director by telephone, including a voice messaging system or other system or technology designed to record and communicate messages, telegraph, facsimile, electronic mail or other electronic means, or by mail, charges prepaid, addressed to him or her at his or her address as it is shown upon the records of the corporation or, if it is not so shown on such records or is not readily ascertainable, at the place at which meetings of the directors are regularly held. In case such notice is mailed or telegraphed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail or delivered to the telegraph company in the place in which the principal executive office of the corporation is located at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the time of the holding of the meeting. In case such notice is delivered, personally or by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means, as above provided, it shall be so delivered at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time of the holding of the meeting. Such mailing or delivery, as above provided, shall be due, legal and personal notice to each such director. SECTION 9. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board and shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of such directors at a meeting duly called and held. SECTION 10. ACTION AT A MEETING: QUORUM AND REQUIRED VOTE. Presence of a majority of the authorized number of directors at a meeting of the Board of Directors constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business, except as hereinafter provided. Members of the Board 9 may participate in a meeting through use of conference telephone, electronic video screen communication, or similar communications equipment, so long as all members participating in such meeting can hear one another. Participation in a meeting through the use of a conference telephone constitutes presence in person at such meeting. Participation in a meeting through the use of electronic video screen communication or other communications equipment, other than conference telephone, constitutes presence in person at that meeting if all of the following apply: (a) Each member participating in the meeting can communicate with all of the other members concurrently. (b) Each member is provided the means of participating in all matters before the board, including, without limitation, the capacity to propose, or to interpose an objection to, a specific action to be taken by the corporation. (c) The corporation adopts and implements some means of verifying both of the following: (i) A person participating in the meeting is a director or other person entitled to participate in the board meeting. (ii) All actions of, or votes by, the board are taken or cast only by the directors and not by persons who are not directors. Subject to the provisions of the CGCL, every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors, unless a greater number, or the same number after disqualifying one or more directors from voting, is required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, provided that any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting. SECTION 11. VALIDATION OF DEFECTIVELY CALLED OR NOTICED MEETINGS. The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, however called or noticed or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present or who, though present, has, prior to the meeting or at its commencement, protested the lack of proper notice, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to holding such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. SECTION 12. ADJOURNMENT. A quorum of the directors may adjourn any directors' meeting to meet again at a stated day and hour; provided, however, that in the absence of a quorum a majority of the directors present at any directors' meeting, either regular or special, may adjourn from time to time until the time fixed for the next regular meeting of the Board. SECTION 13. NOTICE OF ADJOURNMENT. If the meeting is adjourned for more than twenty-four (24) hours, notice of any adjournment to another time or place shall be given prior to 10 the time of the adjourned meeting to the directors who were not present at the time of adjournment. Otherwise, notice of the time and place of holding an adjourned meeting need not be given to absent directors if the time and place be fixed at the meeting adjourned. SECTION 14. FEES AND COMPENSATION. Directors and members of committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their services, and such reimbursement for expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. SECTION 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS. (a) Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, formal or informal, whether brought in the name of the corporation or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action or inaction in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between the corporation and such person, be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent permissible under California law and the corporation's Articles of Incorporation, against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that (a) the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of the corporation, (b) the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) other than a proceeding by or in the name of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor only if any settlement of such a proceeding is approved in writing by the corporation, (c) no such person shall be indemnified (i) except to the extent that the aggregate of losses to be indemnified exceeds the amount of such losses for which the director or officer is paid pursuant to any directors' and officers' liability insurance policy maintained by the corporation; (ii) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against such person for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by such person of securities of the corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal state or local statutory law; (iii) if a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that 11 any indemnification hereunder is unlawful; and (iv) as to circumstances in which indemnity is expressly prohibited by the CGCL, and (d) no such person shall be indemnified with regard to any action brought by or in the right of the corporation for breach of duty to the corporation and its shareholders (i) for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law; (ii) for acts or omissions that the director or officer believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director or officer; (iii) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; (iv) for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's or officer's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director or officer was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing his or her duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders; (v) for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's or officer's duties to the corporation or its shareholders; and (vi) for costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses arising under Section 310 or 316 of the CGCL. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 15 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the CGCL permits the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, such advances shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts to the corporation if it shall be ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. (b) Indemnification of Employees and Agents. A person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such action is an alleged action or inaction in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as an employee or agent, may, subject to the terms of any agreement between the corporation and such person, be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by California law and the corporation's Articles of Incorporation, against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. The immediately preceding sentence is not intended to be and shall not be considered to confer a contract right on any employee or agent (other than directors and officers) of the corporation. 12 (c) Right of Directors and Officers to Bring Suit. If a claim under Paragraph (a) of this Section 15 is not paid in full by the corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is permissible in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct, if any, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption for the purpose of an action that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. (d) Successful Defense. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 15, to the extent that a director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise (including the dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of a proceeding or action without admission of liability) in defense of any proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 15 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. (e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification provided by this Section 15 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. (f) Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the CGCL. (g) Expenses as a Witness. To the extent that any director or officer or former director or former officer of the corporation is by reason of such position or former position, or a position with another entity at the request of the corporation, a witness in any action, suit or proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her on his or her behalf in connection therewith. (h) Indemnity Agreements. The corporation may enter into agreements with any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation 13 providing for indemnification to the fullest extent permissible under the CGCL and the corporation's Articles of Incorporation. (i) Separability. Each and every paragraph, sentence, term and provision of this Section 15 is separate and distinct so that if any paragraph, sentence, term or provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other paragraph, sentence, term or provision hereof. To the extent required, any paragraph, sentence, term or provision of this Section 15 may be modified by a court of competent jurisdiction to preserve its validity and to provide the claimant with, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 15 and any agreement between the corporation and claimant, the broadest possible indemnification permitted under applicable law. (j) Effect of Repeal or Modification. Any repeal or modification of this Section 15 shall not adversely affect any right of indemnification of a director or officer existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any action or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification. ARTICLE IV OFFICERS SECTION 1. OFFICERS. The officers of the corporation shall be a president, a secretary and a chief financial officer. The corporation may also have, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, a chairman of the Board, a chief executive officer, one or more vice presidents, one or more assistant secretaries, one or more assistant treasurers, and such other officers as may be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Article.

Any officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Board of Directors, at any regular or special meeting thereof, or, except in case of an officer chosen by the Board of Directors, by any officer upon whom such power of 14 removal may be conferred by the Board of Directors (subject, in each case, to the rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of employment). Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board of Directors or the president, or to the secretary of the corporation, without prejudice, however, to the rights, if any, of the corporation under any contract to which the officer is a party. Any such resignation shall take effect at the date of receipt of such notice or at any time specified therein.

The president shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders and, in the absence of the chairman of the Board, or if there be none, at all meetings of the Board of Directors. The president shall be ex officio a member of all the standing committees, including the executive committee, if any, and shall have the general powers and duties of management usually vested in the office of president of a corporation, and shall have such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by these Bylaws or the Board of Directors. SECTION 8. VICE PRESIDENT. In the absence or disability of the president, the vice presidents in order of their rank as fixed by the Board of Directors or, if not ranked, the vice president designated by the Board of Directors, shall perform all the duties of the president, and when so acting shall have such other powers and perform such other duties as from time to time may be prescribed for them respectively by the Board of Directors or these Bylaws. SECTION 9. SECRETARY. The secretary shall record or cause to be recorded, and shall keep or cause to be kept, at the principal executive office and such other place as the Board of Directors may order, a book of minutes of actions taken at all meetings of directors and shareholders, with the time and place of holding, whether regular or special, and, if special, how authorized, the notice given thereof, the names of those present at directors' meetings, the number of shares present or represented at shareholders' meetings, and the proceedings thereof.

The books of account shall at all reasonable times be open to inspection by any director. The chief financial officer shall deposit all monies and other valuables in the name and to the credit of the corporation with such depositories as may be designated by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 1. RECORD DATE. The Board of Directors may fix a time in the future as a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of shareholders or, subject to any provision of the Articles of Incorporation, entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, to receive any report, to receive any dividend or distribution, or any allotment of rights, or to exercise rights in respect to any change, conversion or exchange of shares. The record date so fixed shall be not more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of any meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other event for the purposes of which it is fixed. When a record date is so fixed, only shareholders of record on that date are entitled to notice of and to vote at any such meeting, to give consent without a meeting, to receive any report, to receive a dividend, distribution or allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date, except as otherwise may be provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. SECTION 2. INSPECTION OF CORPORATE RECORDS. The accounting books and records and minutes of proceedings of the shareholders and of the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of this corporation and any subsidiary of this corporation shall be open to inspection upon the written demand on the corporation of any shareholder or the holder of a voting trust certificate at any reasonable time during regular business hours, for a purpose 16 reasonably related to such holder's interests as a shareholder or as the holder of such voting trust certificate. Such inspection by a shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate may be made in person or by agent or attorney, and the right of inspection includes the right to copy and make extracts. A shareholder or shareholders holding at least five percent (5%) in the aggregate of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or who hold at least one percent (1%) of such voting shares and have filed a Schedule 14B with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the election of directors of the corporation shall have (in person, or by agent or attorney) the right to inspect and copy the record of shareholders' names and addresses and shareholdings during usual business hours upon five (5) business days' prior written demand upon the corporation, and to obtain from the transfer agent for the corporation, if there be one, upon written demand and upon the tender of its usual charges, a list of the shareholders' names and addresses who are entitled to vote for the election of directors, and their shareholdings, as of the most recent record date for which it has been compiled or as of a date subsequent to the date of demand specified by the shareholder therein. The list shall be made available on or before the later of five (5) business days after receipt of the demand or the date specified therein as of which the list is to be compiled. Every director shall have the absolute right at any reasonable time to inspect and copy all books, records and documents of every kind and to inspect the physical properties of the corporation. Such inspection by a director may be made in person or by agent or attorney, and the right of inspection includes the right to copy and make extracts. SECTION 3. CHECKS, DRAFTS, ETC. All checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, issued in the name of or payable to this corporation, shall be signed or endorsed by such person or persons and in such manner as, from time to time, shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. SECTION 4. ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS. The annual report to shareholders referred to in Section 1501 of the CGCL is expressly waived, but nothing herein shall be interpreted as prohibiting the Board from issuing annual or other periodic reports to the shareholders. A shareholder of shareholders holding at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any class of stock of the corporation may make a written request to the corporation for an income statement of the corporation for the three-month, six-month or nine-month period of the current fiscal year ended more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the request and a balance sheet of the corporation as of the end of any such period, and, in addition, if no annual report for the last fiscal year containing an income statement and balance sheet for and as of the end of such fiscal year has been sent to shareholders, such an income statement and balance sheet for the prior fiscal year. The corporation shall use its best efforts to deliver the statement or statements requested to the person making such request within thirty days after the receipt thereof. A copy of any such statements shall be kept on file in the principal executive office of the corporation for twelve (12) months, and they shall be exhibited at all reasonable times to any shareholder demanding an examination of them or a copy thereof shall be mailed to such shareholder. 17 The corporation shall, upon the written request of any shareholder, mail to the shareholder a copy of the last annual, semi-annual or quarterly income statement which it has prepared, together with a balance sheet as of the end of the same period. The financial statements referred to in this Section shall be accompanied by the report thereon, if there be any, of any independent accountants engaged by the corporation in respect thereof or, if there be no such report, the certificate of an authorized officer of the corporation that such financial statements were prepared without audit from the books and records of the corporation. SECTION 5. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. Every holder of shares in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed in the name of the corporation by the chairman or vice chairman of the Board or the president or any vice president and by the chief financial officer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or any assistant secretary, certifying the number of shares and the class or series of shares owned by the shareholder. Any of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be an officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may nevertheless be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. Any such certificate shall also contain such legend or other statement as may be required by Section 418 of the CGCL, the Corporate Securities Law of 1968, the federal securities laws, these Bylaws, and any agreement between the corporation and the issuee thereof. Certificates for shares may be issued prior to full payment under such restrictions and for such purposes as the Board of Directors or these Bylaws may provide; provided, however, that any such certificate so issued prior to full payment shall state on the face thereof the amount remaining unpaid and the terms of payment thereof. No new certificate for shares shall be issued in lieu of an old certificate unless the latter is surrendered and cancelled at the same time; provided, however, that a new certificate will be issued without surrender and cancellation of the old certificate if (1) the old certificate is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken; (2) the request for issuance of a new certificate is made within a reasonable time after the owner of the old certificate has notice of its loss, destruction or theft; (3) the request for issuance of a new certificate is made prior to the receipt of notice by the corporation that the old certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser; (4) the owner of the old certificate files a sufficient indemnity bond with or provides other adequate security to the corporation; and (5) the owner satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the corporation. In the event of the issuance of a new certificate, the rights and liabilities of the corporation, and of the holders of the old and new certificates, shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 8104 and 8405 of the California Uniform Commercial Code. SECTION 6. REPRESENTATION OF SHARES OF OTHER CORPORATIONS. The president or any vice president and the secretary or any assistant secretary of this corporation are authorized to vote, represent and exercise on behalf of this corporation all rights incident to any and all shares of any other corporation or corporations standing in the name of this corporation. The authority granted to said officers to vote or represent on behalf of this corporation any and all shares held by this corporation in any other corporation or corporations may be exercised either by such officers in person or by any other person authorized so to do by proxy or power of attorney duly executed by said officers. 18 SECTION 7. INSPECTION OF BYLAWS. The corporation shall keep in its principal executive office in California, or, if its principal executive office is not in California, then at its principal business office in California (or otherwise provide upon written request of any shareholder) the original or a copy of these Bylaws as amended or otherwise altered to date, certified by the secretary of the corporation, which shall be open to inspection by the shareholders at all reasonable times during office hours. SECTION 8. CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINITIONS. Unless the context otherwise requires, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions contained in the CGCL shall govern the construction of these Bylaws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the masculine gender includes the feminine and neuter, the singular includes the plural and the plural number includes the singular, and the term "person" includes a corporation or other entity as well as a natural person. ARTICLE VI AMENDMENTS SECTION 1. POWER OF SHAREHOLDERS.
