The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) has granted to you [______ (_____)] restricted shares of Bakers Footwear Group, Inc. (the “Company”) common stock under the terms of the Plan (the “Restricted Shares”).  This award is subject to all the terms of the Plan, a copy of which has been delivered to you.

The following are additional terms, conditions and provisions applicable to this award: 

1.  The Restricted Shares vest on the [fifth] anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Restriction Period”).  Your rights in regard to these Restricted Shares are not immediately vested, and you understand and agree, by your signature to this agreement, that your entire interest in any unvested Restricted Shares may be forfeited if you fail to remain in the employ of the Company (or one of its subsidiaries), for any reason, for the Restriction Period or in the event of any failure of any of the terms or conditions attached to this award and set out in the Plan or in this award.

2.  The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, vest the Restricted Shares in full, pro-rata, or not at all, as it may determine, in the event your employment terminates on account of death, disability, retirement or otherwise prior to vesting in accordance with Section 1 of this award.  If termination is on account of death, the Committee may in its absolute discretion vest such Restricted Shares to your surviving spouse, heirs or estate, in such portion or no portion as the Committee may determine.

3.  During the Restriction Period all unvested Restricted Shares will be evidenced by a certificate issued in your name but such certificate will not be delivered to you and shall be held by the Company until such Restricted Shares are vested, the Restriction Period expires or until earlier forfeiture.  During the Restriction Period (and prior to any forfeiture) your rights in respect of the Restricted Shares shall be as follows:

(i) You will be entitled to receive cash dividends when paid on the Restricted Shares and you will be entitled to vote the Restricted Shares. 

(ii) During the Restriction Period you shall not be entitled to delivery of any stock certificate evidencing unvested Restricted Shares. 

(iii) The certificates for the Restricted Share may have imprinted thereon such restrictive legends, and such stop-transfer orders, dividend payment orders and such other orders as may be given in respect thereof by the Committee as it may determine in its sole discretion. 

(iv) During the Restriction Period you may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any unvested Restricted Shares. 

4.  Upon the vesting of any Restricted Shares, the Company may withhold a sufficient number of shares of common stock to satisfy statutory tax withholding obligations.  You must pay or have 

 

 

withheld by the Company an amount of cash equivalent to any applicable par value with respect to any amounts of common stock you receive.

5. This Agreement shall be executed and delivered by you in the City or County of St. Louis, Missouri and shall be governed by Missouri law.

	 	 	If the Bank directs a Borrower to pay a particular party or in a particular
manner, a Borrower is taken to have satisfied its obligation to the Bank by
paying in accordance with the direction.
	 
	 	 	A Borrower satisfies a payment obligation only when the Bank or the person to whom
it has directed payment receives the amount.
	 
	6.2	 	Currency of payment

	 	 	All payments to be made by a Borrower must be made without set-off or
counter-claim, and be free and clear of any withholding or deduction for Taxes
unless prohibited by law. If any deduction is required by law, the relevant
Borrower will make the deduction, pay any Taxes, and pay to the Bank further
amount(s) sufficient to ensure that the Bank receives the same net amount as it
would have received if no deduction had been made.
	 
	7	 	Cancellation
	 
	 	 	Before a Drawing is made, a Borrower may cancel an undrawn Facility in whole or
in part by notifying the Bank on or before the third Business Day before the

Puerto Rico.
	 
	 	 	The Bank shall notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the date of this
agreement entitling the Bank to compensation under this clause 8.1 as promptly as
practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the Bank
obtains actual knowledge thereof, provided that if the Bank fails to give such

the Borrower agrees to perform it by the time specified; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Borrowers agree to perform all other obligations promptly.

	19.3	 	Consents

The Borrowers agree to comply with all conditions in any consent the Bank gives
in connection with a Transaction Document.

	19.4	 	Certificates

The Bank may give the Borrowers a certificate about an amount payable or other
matter in connection with a Transaction Document. The certificate is sufficient
evidence of the amount or matter, unless it is proved to be incorrect.

	19.5	 	Set-off

If an Event of Default is continuing, the Bank may, in its absolute discretion,
set off any amount owing by the Bank to a Borrower (whether or not due for
payment) against any amount due for payment by a Borrower to the Bank under a
Transaction Document.

The Bank may do anything necessary to effect any set-off under this clause
(including varying the date for payment of any amount owing by the Bank to a
Borrower and making currency exchanges). This clause applies despite any other
agreement between a Borrower and the Bank.

	19.6	 	Discretion in exercising rights

The Bank may exercise a right or remedy or give or refuse its consent under a
Transaction Document in any way it considers appropriate (including by imposing
conditions).

	19.7	 	Partial exercising of rights

If the Bank does not exercise a right or remedy under a Transaction
Document fully or at a given time, the Bank may still exercise it later.

	19.8	 	No liability for loss

The Bank is not liable for loss caused by the exercise or attempted exercise of,
failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right or remedy under a
Transaction Document.

	19.9	 	Conflict of interest

The Bank’s rights and remedies under any Transaction Document may be exercised
even if this involves a conflict of duty or the Bank has a personal interest in

	19.10	 	Remedies cumulative

The rights and remedies of the Bank under any Transaction Document are in addition
to other rights and remedies given by law independently of the Transaction
Document.

	19.11	 	Indemnities

Any indemnity in a Transaction Document is a continuing obligation, independent of
the Borrowers’ other obligations under that Transaction Document and continues
after the Transaction Document ends. It is not necessary for the Bank to incur
expense or make payment before enforcing a right of indemnity under a Transaction
Document.

	19.12	 	Rights and obligations are unaffected

Rights given to the Bank under a Transaction Document and the Borrowers’
liabilities under it are not affected by anything which might otherwise affect
them at law.

	19.13	 	Inconsistent law

To the extent permitted by law, each Transaction Document prevails to the extent
it is inconsistent with any law.

	19.14	 	Supervening legislation

Any present or future legislation which operates to vary the obligations of the
Borrowers in connection with a Transaction Document with the result that the
Bank’s rights, powers or remedies are adversely affected (including by way of
delay or postponement) is excluded except to the extent that its exclusion is
prohibited or rendered ineffective by law.

publicly available (including the existence or contents of any Transaction Document)
except:

	 	(a)	 	to any person in connection with an exercise of rights or a dealing with rights
or obligations under a Transaction Document (including in connection with preparatory steps
such as negotiating with any potential assignee or potential sub-participant or other
person who is considering contracting with the Bank in connection with a Transaction
Document); or
	 
	 	(b)	 	to a person considering entering into (or who enters into) a credit swap
with the Bank involving credit events relating to a Borrower or any of its Related
Entities; or

	 	(e)	 	with the consent of the party who provided the information (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld); or
	 
	 	(f)	 	as required by any law or stock exchange.

Each party consents to disclosures made in accordance with this clause 19.17.

 
	19.18	 	Further steps

The Borrowers agree to do anything the Bank asks (such as obtaining consents, signing and
producing documents and getting documents completed and signed):

	 	(a)	 	to bind the Borrowers
and any other person intended to be bound under the Transaction Documents;
	 
	 	(b)	 	to show

Santander located at 100 Ludgate Hill, London EC4M 7NJ as their agent for receipt
of process in England and Wales in relation to any proceedings before the English
courts in connection with any Transaction Document, and represent he has agreed to
so act. The Borrowers agree that a failure by a process agent to notify the
relevant Borrower of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.
