Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

     As of November 30, 2004, Gadzooks, Inc. was not in compliance with the sales receipt financial performance covenant with respect to cash receipts, as well as its covenant to timely provide financial information, each as set forth in its Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement dated February 3, 2004 by and between Gadzooks and Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC, as amended, referred to as the DIP Loan Agreement. Under the terms of the DIP Loan Agreement, such non-compliance would be deemed an event of default and could result in an acceleration of all of Gadzooks’ indebtedness thereunder. As of November 30, 2004, $7,246,083 was outstanding in principal and interest and $7,472,790 was outstanding in letters of credit under the DIP Loan Agreement. Further, a default under the DIP Loan Agreement constitutes a default under Gadzooks Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 29, 2004 by and between Gadzooks and Gryphon Master Fund, L.P., referred to as the Tranche B Term Loan Agreement, and could result in an acceleration of all of Gadzooks’ indebtedness thereunder. As of November 30, 2004, $5,055,722 was outstanding in principal and interest under the Tranche B Term Loan Agreement. Gadzooks has received waivers from the lenders under both of these loan agreements, pursuant to which the lenders have agreed to waive Gadzooks’ non-compliance with this financial covenant, subject to certain conditions. In connection with the waivers, Gadzooks paid a waiver fee of $25,000 under the DIP Loan Agreement and a waiver fee of $5,000 under the Tranche B Term Loan Agreement. As of December 6, 2004, Gadzooks is in compliance with these financial and reporting covenants.
