Material Changes
On October 22, 2004, Genesco Inc. entered into Amendment No. 1 (Renewal) to its Trademark License Agreement with Levi Strauss & Co.

- Extension Term: The agreement is extended for an additional two-year term, expiring on December 31, 2006.
- Renewal Option: Genesco holds an option to renew for an additional two-year term if net sales under the License reach at least $50 million in 2006.
