Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement Amendment of Wells Fargo Retail Finance Loan and Security Agreement
On March 15, 2006, Shoe Pavilion Corporation (the "Borrower"), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Shoe Pavilion, Inc.
(the "Company") entered into Amendment Number Four of the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2006,
by and between the Borrower and Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC ("Wells Fargo"). Amendment Number Four further
amends the Loan and Securities Agreement dated April 18, 2003, and as previously amended on September 24, 2004,
May 12, 2005 and August 11, 2005 (the "Revolving Credit Facility").
Amendment Number Four, which extends the term of the Revolving Credit Facility from July 31, 2009 to April 18, 2011,
provides for a "Maximum Revolver Amount" of $20.0 million. This amount may be increased at the Borrower's option up to a
maximum of $30.0 million, so long as no "Event of Default" (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) has occurred and is
continuing or would result therefrom and upon payment of an "accordion fee" of .25% of the amount by which the Borrower
requests that the revolver be increased. The "Minimum Available Reserve" that must be maintained under the Revolving
Credit Facility is 7.5% times the Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect. Amendment Number Four provides for an increase of the
annual "Capital Expenditures" limit (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) from $3.0 million to $10 million, plus an
additional $3.0 million for Capital Lease Obligations (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility); provided, however, that Wells
Fargo may increase or decrease the Capital Expenditures amount based upon the Borrower's annual projections. Amendment Number
Four also amends certain other material terms or definitions in the Revolving Credit Facility, including "Applicable Prepayment
Premium," "Base Rate Margin," "Change in Control," "LIBOR Rate Margin" and "Margin
Pricing Grid." A copy of Amendment Number Four to the Revolving Credit Facility is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by this reference. 2006 Management Incentive Plan
On March 20, 2006, the Company's Compensation Committee adopted the 2006 Management Incentive Plan (the
"Incentive Plan"). The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to encourage superior employee performance by recognizing and
rewarding (i) members of management who deliver exceptional performance that favorably impacts the Company's financial results;
and (ii) individual and team efforts that help the Company exceed its performance goals. Under the Incentive Plan each participant is
eligible to receive a cash bonus based upon a pre-determined percentage of the participant's annual base salary. In addition to
requiring that a participant achieve specific pre-determined goals, the Company must also have earned adjusted pretax income in fiscal
year 2006 in excess of a specified amount in order for any cash bonuses to be paid under the Incentive Plan. Item 8.01 Other Events
On February 8, 2006, the Company's Compensation Committee adopted certain technical changes to its 1998 Equity
Incentive Plan and its Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan. The amendments to the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan include limiting the
Compensation Committee's exercise price discretion to avoid the possible imposition of penalties and immediate taxation that could be
charged to an optionee, providing for inclusion of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) limitation on annual awards, adding a
cashless exercise provision, providing for acceleration of vesting of options or other stock awards upon a change of control and
providing for an escrow until restricted stock, if issued under the plan, is vested. The Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan was also
amended to include acceleration of option vesting upon a change of control. Copies of both of the amended and restated plans are
filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by this reference. Item 9.01. Exhibits.
