Gentlemen:
As contemplated by Section 4.8 of that certain Stockholders Agreement,
dated August 28, 1998, among G&G Retail Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), Pegasus G&G
Retail, L.P., Pegasus Partners, L.P., Pegasus Related Partners, L.P., Xxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxx Xxxxx and other management stockholders of Holdings set forth on Schedule
1 thereto, we have agreed that Pegasus Investors, L.P. ("Pegasus") will provide
consulting services to G+G Retail, Inc. ("G+G") including (a) strategic
planning, (b) identification of financing, acquisition and divestiture
opportunities, (c) assistance with respect to matters of cash management,
treasury and financial controls, and (d) other financial matters in which
Pegasus has expertise, in each case as the management of G+G may reasonably
request from time to time. As compensation for such services, G+G will pay to
Pegasus an annual fee of $500,000 (the "Annual Consulting Fee") for the calendar
year 2002 and for each calendar year thereafter. Subject to the following
paragraph, the Annual Consulting Fee will be accrue for the benefit of Pegasus
as follows: (i) for calendar year 2002, $375,000 on September 30, 2002 and
$125,000 on December 31, 2002 and (ii) for each calendar year following 2002,
four installments of $125,000 on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 of such year. The Annual Consulting Fee shall be paid by G+G to
Pegasus as follows: $375,000 on September 30 of each year, commencing September
30, 2002, and $125,000 on December 31 of each year, commencing December 31,
2002.
Payment of the Annual Consulting Fee is contingent upon and subject to
the prohibitions and restrictions provided for in each of (i) the Indenture,
dated as of May 17, 1999, by and between G+G and U.S. Bank Trust NA, as Trustee,
relating to G+G's 11% Senior Notes due 2006 and (ii) the Loan and Security
Agreement, dated May 2, 2001, between the CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. and
G+G Retail, Inc. (each being a "Restricting Agreement"), and any amendment,
modification, or replacement of or to a Restricting Agreement. If a Restricting
Agreement shall prohibit or restrict G+G from paying all or any portion of the
Annual Consulting Fee, Pegasus' entitlement to such prohibited or restricted
payments shall continue to accrue, on a cumulative basis, and G+G will pay such
amounts, plus interest accruing at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as of
the date when such payment was due and payable, if and when the Restricting
Agreement allows any such payment.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this letter agreement
shall terminate upon consummation or completion of (i) a "Sale Transaction", as
defined in subsection 2(b)(3) of Section FOURTH Part A of Holdings' Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or (ii) a "Qualified Public Offering", as
defined in the Stockholders Agreement, dated August 28, 1998, by and among
Holdings, Pegasus, Pegasus G&G Retail, L.P., Pegasus Related Partners, L.P. and
G&G Shops, Inc.
Upon termination of this letter agreement, (a) the next scheduled
Annual Consulting Fee shall be pro-rated through and including the date of
termination and (b) G+G shall immediately pay to Pegasus all accrued but unpaid
payments due hereunder.
G+G represents and warrants that no Restrictive Agreement currently
prohibits, and no facts or circumstances exist to G+G's knowledge that would
reasonably be expected to result in a Restrictive Agreement prohibiting, the
payment of the Annual Consulting Fee on September 30, 2002.
Please acknowledge your agreement with the foregoing by signing below
where indicated.
Very truly yours,
G+G RETAIL, INC.
