         WHEREAS, Build-A-Bear desires HA Logistics to provide logistics
services to Build-A-Bear; and

         WHEREAS, HA Logistics will provide services under this agreement

consecutive months, Build-A-Bear shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement on thirty days notice.

3. Meetings. Build-A-Bear and HA Logistics agree to schedule meetings, no more
than once annually, for the purposes of discussing ongoing operations and future
direction, and reviewing the Metrics. These meetings will be scheduled by

once every 6 months. Any such changes in the rates attached as Exhibit B of this
Agreement must be made in writing and authorized by a representative of both

services hereunder.

15. Successors and Assigns: Waiver. This Agreement shall apply to and bind the
successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, neither this
Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder is assignable in whole or in
part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, by HA Logistics or Build-A-Bear,
without the prior written consent of the other party. The terms and conditions
of this Agreement may not be waived or modified unless in writing signed by both
parties. The failure at any time to require the other party's performance of any
obligation under this Agreement shall not affect the right subsequently to
require performance of that obligation.

16. Confidential Information. Each party shall protect the confidentiality of
information provided by the other party, or to which the receiving party obtains
access by virtue of its performance under this Agreement, that either has been
identified as confidential by the disclosing party or by its nature warrants
confidential treatment. The receiving party shall use such information only for
the purposes of this Agreement and shall not disclose it to anyone except its
employees who have a need to know the information. These nondisclosure
obligations shall not apply to information that is or becomes public through no
breach of this Agreement, is received from a third party free to disclose it, is
independently developed by the receiving party or is required by law to be
disclosed, provided that in the event disclosure is required by law, the
receiving party shall provide the disclosing party with prompt written notice of
the disclosure required, and shall assist the disclosing party, at the
disclosing party's request, in obtaining a protective order in respect of such
disclosure. Confidential information shall be returned to the disclosing party
upon its request, except that each party may retain one copy in its legal files
solely for purposes of documenting its compliance with its obligations
hereunder. The parties agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be an
adequate remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 16, and that
the non-breaching party shall, in addition to any other available remedies, be
entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief in order to prevent the
other party from violating the terms of this Section 16.

17. Intellectual Property. Neither party shall, by virtue of this Agreement,
acquire any ownership licensed or any other rights in any pre-existing software,
documentation, or intellectual or technological property of the other party.

18. Severability. If any of the terms or conditions in this Agreement are held

the remaining terms and conditions shall continue in full force and effect.

19. Captions. The captions are inserted merely for the convenience of the
parties and shall not be deemed as part of this Agreement.

20. Arbitration, Damages and Attorneys Fees.

         (a) Except as set forth in this Section 20, the parties agree that any
disputes between Build-A-Bear and HA Logistics concerning the meaning of this
Agreement or concerning their rights, obligations or performance hereunder,
shall, at the request of any of them, be submitted to binding arbitration
pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). Disputes shall be decided by an arbitrator chosen in
accordance with the






                                       5
<PAGE>

Regional contract


AAA rules then in effect, such arbitrator to have knowledge and experience in
the logistics industry.

         (b) The sole right of the arbitrator shall be to enforce and interpret
the terms of this Agreement and not to expand the rights or obligations of the
parties. The arbitrator shall have the right to award actual, out of pocket
damages only, and they shall not have the right to award special, consequential
or punitive damages to either side, except as provided herein. In any action
decided by arbitration, the prevailing side shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorney's fees and arbitration costs, including the fees and
expenses of the arbitrator, from the losing side. The decision of the arbitrator
shall be final and binding on the parties, and each party shall be entitled to
seek enforcement of any such decision in any court of competent jurisdiction.

         (c) Any dispute under this Agreement shall be decided with reference to
Missouri law or the laws of the United States of America, whichever is
applicable, and the forum for such arbitration shall be a mutually agreeable
location in Missouri, unless the parties agree to hold it elsewhere.

         (d) Nothing contained in this Section 20 shall prevent either party
from seeking relief in court (including, without limitation, injunctive or
equitable relief) with respect to breach of Section 16 in any court of competent
jurisdiction, as the parties recognize that the breach of such Sections would
result in irreparable harm to the non-breaching party, for which monetary
damages would be inadequate. In the event of a breach of either Section 16, the
parties shall be entitled to receive special, consequential damages to the
extent awarded by a court or the arbitrator.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be
executed as of the date first above written.
