Effective March 27, 2007, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee")

established the 2007 performance objectives for the range of bonuses that may be
paid to the Company's Chief Executive Bear, President and Chief Operating Bear,
Chief Financial Bear, Treasurer and Secretary, Chief Marketing Bear and Chief
Workshop Bear under the Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan
(the "Plan"). The base bonus calculation for each of the executives for 2007 is
determined by multiplying the "base bonus payout" (set forth below) by the
executive's base salary as of March 27, 2007:
Position Base Bonus Payout
-------- -----------------
Maxine Clark, Chief Executive Bear 125%
Scott Seay, President and Chief Operating Bear 50%
Tina Klocke, Chief Financial Bear, Treasurer & Secretary 35%
Teresa Kroll, Chief Marketing Bear 35%
Paul Bundonis, Chief Workshop Bear 35%
The cash bonus, if any, to be paid to each respective executive officer
will be calculated by multiplying the applicable percentage in column (2) below,
based on the Company's net income for 2007, by the base bonus calculation set
forth above:
(1) (2)
Achievement Level Percentage of Base Bonus Calculation
Threshold 25%
Target 100%
Maximum 220%
The calculation of cash bonuses will be interpolated to reflect the
Company's net income results which fall within any of the defined achievement
levels set forth in column (1) above. The interpolation will be calculated in
accordance with the methodology set forth in the Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc.
2007 Bonus Plan, in the sole discretion of the Committee. This discretion
includes the ability to reduce the otherwise applicable percentage of base bonus
calculation for each achievement level, but the Committee may not use its
discretion to increase the amount of compensation payable above the maximum
percentage of base bonus calculation for each achievement level. No executive
officer bonuses will be paid if the threshold net income level is not reached
for fiscal year 2007.
