indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents. Division (E)&nbsp;of Section&nbsp;1701.13 provides:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E)&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;A corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or
is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an action by or
in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent of another corporation, domestic or
foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a limited liability company, or a partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney&#146;s fees, judgments, fines, and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action,
suit, or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of
any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;A corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent of another
corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a limited liability company, or a
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney&#146;s
fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any of the following:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;Any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless, and only to the
extent that, the court of common pleas or the court in which such action or suit was brought
determines, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses as the court of common pleas or such other court shall deem proper;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Any action or suit in which the only liability asserted against a director is pursuant to

to the person who threatened or brought the action or suit by or in the right of the corporation
under division (E)(2) of this section, and, within ten days after receipt of such notification,
such person shall have the right to petition the court of common pleas or the court in which such

this division do not apply to the corporation and unless the only liability asserted against a
director in an action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (E)(1) or (2)&nbsp;of this section is
pursuant to section 1701.95 of the Revised Code, expenses, including attorney&#146;s fees, incurred by a
director in defending the action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation as they are

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>EIGHTH</U>: I. <U>Mandatory Indemnification</U>. The Corporation shall indemnify
any officer or director of the Corporation who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, any action
threatened or instituted by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that

another corporation (domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), partnership, joint

attorneys&#146; fees, filing fees, court reporters&#146; fees and transcript costs), judgments, fines

such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. A person claiming indemnification under this Paragraph&nbsp;I shall be presumed, in
respect of any act or omission giving rise to such claim for indemnification, to have acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal matter, to have had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and the termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo

that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.</TD>

In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), this Registration Statement on Form S-8 also covers an indeterminate
number of additional common shares of R.G. Barry Corporation (the "Registrant") that may be
necessary to adjust the number of common shares reserved for delivery pursuant to the R.G.
Barry Corporation Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in
accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the Plan as a result of stock splits, stock
dividends, recapitalizations or other similar transactions or adjustments affecting the
common shares of the Registrant as specified in such anti-dilution provisions.
(2)
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the aggregate offering price and the
registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act with respect
to common shares of the Registrant deliverable upon the exercise of stock options or
pursuant to other stock awards not yet granted but reserved for delivery under the Plan and
computed on the basis of $11.72, which is the average of the high and low sales prices for
a common share of the Registrant as reported on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC on August 10,
2010.

Series II Junior Participating Class A Preferred Share Purchase Rights (the "Rights")
evidence the right to purchase from the Registrant under certain conditions, a unit
consisting of one one-hundredth (1/100) of a share (a "Unit") of Series II Junior
Participating Class A Preferred Shares, $1.00 par value per share, at a purchase price of
$25.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment. The Registrant is required to deliver one Right,
subject to adjustment, with each common share of the Registrant that becomes outstanding
until the "distribution date" for the Rights, at which date the Rights will commence
trading separately from the common shares. Prior to the "distribution date," the Rights
trade together with the common shares of the Registrant. The value attributable to the
Rights, if any, is reflected in the market price of the common shares of the Registrant.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
(a)
Ohio General Corporation Law
Division (E) of Section 1701.13 of the Ohio Revised Code grants corporations broad powers to
indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents. Division (E) of Section 1701.13 provides:
(E) (1) A corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or
is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an action by or
in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent of another corporation, domestic or
foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a limited liability company, or a partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines, and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action,
suit, or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of
any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(2) A corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent of another
corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a limited liability company, or a
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney's
fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any of the following:
(a) Any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless, and only to the
extent that, the court of common pleas or the court in which such action or suit was brought
determines, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses as the court of common pleas or such other court shall deem proper;
(b) Any action or suit in which the only liability asserted against a director is pursuant to
section 1701.95 of the Revised Code.
-4-
(3) To the extent that a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred
to in division (E)(1) or (2) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein,
he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.
(4) Any indemnification under division (E)(1) or (2) of this section, unless ordered by a
court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case, upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or
agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in division (E)(1) or (2) of this section. Such determination shall be made as follows:
(a) By a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors of the indemnifying corporation who
were not and are not parties to or threatened with the action, suit, or proceeding referred to in
division (E)(1) or (2) of this section;
(b) If the quorum described in division (E)(4)(a) of this section is not obtainable or if a
majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, in a written opinion by
independent legal counsel other than an attorney, or a firm having associated with it an attorney,
who has been retained by or who has performed services for the corporation or any person to be
indemnified within the past five years;
(c) By the shareholders;
(d) By the court of common pleas or the court in which the action, suit, or proceeding
referred to in division (E)(1) or (2) of this section was brought.
Any determination made by the disinterested directors under division (E)(4)(a) or by
independent legal counsel under division (E)(4)(b) of this section shall be promptly communicated
to the person who threatened or brought the action or suit by or in the right of the corporation
under division (E)(2) of this section, and, within ten days after receipt of such notification,
such person shall have the right to petition the court of common pleas or the court in which such
action or suit was brought to review the reasonableness of such determination.
(5) (a) Unless at the time of a director's act or omission that is the subject of an action,
suit, or proceeding referred to in division (E)(1) or (2) of this section, the articles or the
regulations of a corporation state, by specific reference to this division, that the provisions of
this division do not apply to the corporation and unless the only liability asserted against a
director in an action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (E)(1) or (2) of this section is
pursuant to section 1701.95 of the Revised Code, expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by a
director in defending the action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation as they are
incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of the director in which he agrees to do both of the following:
(i) Repay such amount if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent
jurisdiction that his action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with
deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or undertaken with reckless disregard for the
best interests of the corporation;
-5-
(ii) Reasonably cooperate with the corporation concerning the action, suit, or proceeding.
(b) Expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by a director, trustee, officer, employee,
member, manager, or agent in defending any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division
(E)(1) or (2) of this section, may be paid by the corporation as they are incurred, in advance of
the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, as authorized by the directors in the
specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, trustee, officer,
employee, member, manager, or agent to repay such amount, if it ultimately is determined that he is
not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
(6) The indemnification authorized by this section shall not be exclusive of, and shall be in
addition to, any other rights granted to those seeking indemnification under the articles, the
regulations, any agreement, a vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both
as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding their
offices or positions, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, trustee,
officer, employee, member, manager, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors, and administrators of such a person.
(7) A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection,
including, but not limited to, trust funds, letters of credit, or self-insurance, on behalf of or
for any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member,
manager, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a limited
liability company, or a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his
status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such
liability under this section. Insurance may be purchased from or maintained with a person in which
the corporation has a financial interest.
(8) The authority of a corporation to indemnify persons pursuant to division (E)(1) or (2) of
this section does not limit the payment of expenses as they are incurred, indemnification,
insurance, or other protection that may be provided pursuant to divisions (E)(5), (6), and (7) of
this section. Divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section do not create any obligation to repay or
return payments made by the corporation pursuant to division (E)(5), (6), or (7).
(9) As used in division (E) of this section, "corporation" includes all constituent entities
in a consolidation or merger and the new or surviving corporation, so that any person who is or was
a director, officer, employee, trustee, member, manager, or agent of such a constituent entity, or
is or was serving at the request of such constituent entity as a director, trustee, officer,
employee, member, manager, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for
profit, a limited liability company, or a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the new or surviving
corporation as he would if he had served the new or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

(b)
Articles of Incorporation of R.G. Barry Corporation
Article EIGHTH of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, governs
indemnification by the Registrant and provides as follows:
EIGHTH
: I.
Mandatory Indemnification
. The Corporation shall indemnify
any officer or director of the Corporation who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, any action
threatened or instituted by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation (domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. A person claiming indemnification under this Paragraph I shall be presumed, in
respect of any act or omission giving rise to such claim for indemnification, to have acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal matter, to have had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and the termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, rebut such presumption.
II.
Court-Approved Indemnification
. Anything contained in these Articles, the
Regulations of the Corporation or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding:
(A) the Corporation shall not indemnify any officer or director of the
Corporation who was a party to any completed action or suit instituted by or in the
right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation (domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for
profit), partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in respect of any
claim, issue or matter asserted in such action or suit as to which he shall have
been adjudged to be liable for acting with reckless disregard for the best interests
of the Corporation or misconduct (other than negligence) in the performance of his
duty to the Corporation or such other entity unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Common Pleas of Fairfield County, Ohio or the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite such adjudication of
liability, and in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and
reasonably entitled to such indemnity as such Court of Common Pleas or such other
court shall deem proper; and
-7-
(B) the Corporation shall promptly make any such unpaid indemnification as is
determined by a court to be proper as contemplated by this Paragraph II.
III.
Indemnification for Expenses
. Anything contained in these Articles, the
Regulations of the Corporation or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent
that an officer or director of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Paragraph I of this
Article EIGHTH, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be promptly
indemnified by the Corporation against expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith.
IV.
Determination Period
. Any indemnification required under Paragraph I of
this Article EIGHTH and not precluded under Paragraph II of this Article EIGHTH shall be
made by the Corporation only upon a determination that such indemnification of the officer
or director is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Paragraph I of this Article EIGHTH. Such determination may be made
only (A) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors of the Corporation who were
not and are not parties to, or threatened with, any such action, suit or proceeding, or (B)
if such a quorum is not obtainable or if a majority of the quorum of disinterested directors
so directs, in a written opinion by independent legal counsel other than an attorney, or a
firm having associated with it an attorney, who has been retained by or who has performed
services for the Corporation, or any person to be indemnified, within the past five years,
or (C) by the shareholders, or (D) by the Court of Common Pleas of Fairfield County, Ohio or
(if the Corporation is a party thereto) the court in which such action, suit or proceeding
was brought, if any; any such determination may be made by a court under division (D) of
this Paragraph IV at any time [including, without limitation, any time before, during or
after the time when any such determination may be requested of, be under consideration by or
have been denied or disregarded by the disinterested directors under division (A) or by
independent legal counsel under division (B) or by the shareholders under division (C) of
this Paragraph IV]; and no failure for any reason to make any such determination, and no
decision for any reason to deny any such determination, by the disinterested directors under
division (A) or by independent legal counsel under division (B) or by the shareholders under
division (C) of this Paragraph IV shall be evidence in rebuttal of the presumption recited
in Paragraph I of this Article EIGHTH. Any determination made by the disinterested
directors under division (A) or by independent legal counsel under division (B) of this
Paragraph IV to make indemnification in respect of any claim, issue or matter asserted in an
action or suit threatened or brought by or in the right of the Corporation shall be promptly
communicated to the person who threatened or brought such action or suit, and within ten
(10) days after receipt of such notification such person shall have the right to petition
the Court of Common Pleas of Fairfield County, Ohio or the court in which such action or
suit was brought, if any, to review the reasonableness of such determination.

V.
Advances for Expenses
. Expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs) incurred in defending any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Paragraph I of this Article EIGHTH shall be paid
by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding to
or on behalf of the officer or director promptly as such expenses are incurred by him, but
only if such officer or director shall first agree, in writing, to repay all amounts so paid
in respect of any claim, issue or other matter asserted in such action, suit or proceeding
in defense of which he shall not have been successful on the merits or otherwise:
(A) if it shall ultimately be determined as provided in Paragraph IV of this
Article EIGHTH that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
provided under Paragraph I of this Article EIGHTH; or
(B) if, in respect of any claim, issue or other matter asserted by or in the
right of the Corporation in such action or suit, he shall have been adjudged to be
liable for acting with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Corporation
or misconduct (other than negligence) in the performance of his duty to the
Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Court of Common Pleas of
Fairfield County, Ohio or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite such adjudication of liability, and in view
of all the circumstances, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to all or part of
such indemnification.
VI.
Article EIGHTH Not Exclusive
. The indemnification provided by this Article
EIGHTH shall not be exclusive of, and shall be in addition to, any other rights to which any
person seeking indemnification may be entitled under the Articles or the Regulations or any
agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action
in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an officer or director of the Corporation
and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
VII.
Insurance
. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish
similar protection, including, but not limited to, trust funds, letters of credit, or
self-insurance, on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation (domestic or foreign, nonprofit
or for profit), partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status
as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the obligation or the power to indemnify
him against such liability under the provisions of this Article EIGHTH. Insurance may be
purchased from or maintained with a person in which the Corporation has a financial
interest.
-9-
VIII.
Indemnity Agreements
. The Corporation may from time to time enter into
indemnity agreements with the persons who are members of its Board of Directors and with
such officers or other persons as the Board may designate, such indemnity agreements to
provide in substance that the Corporation will indemnify such person to the fullest extent
of the provisions of this Article EIGHTH and/or to the fullest extent permitted under Ohio
law.
IX.
Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation
. The
Corporation may, under procedures authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors,
grant rights to indemnification and to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in
defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of
the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article EIGHTH.
X.
Certain Definitions
. For purposes of this Article EIGHTH, and as examples
and not by way of limitation:
(A) A person claiming indemnification under this Article EIGHTH shall be deemed
to have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in Paragraph I of this Article EIGHTH, or in defense of any
claim, issue or other matter therein, if such action, suit or proceeding shall be
terminated as to such person, with or without prejudice, without the entry of a
judgment or order against him, without a conviction of him, without the imposition
of a fine upon him and without his payment or agreement to pay any amount in
settlement thereof (whether or not any such termination is based upon a judicial or
other determination of the lack of merit of the claims made against him or otherwise
results in a vindication of him); and
(B) References to an "other enterprise" shall include employee benefit plans;
references to a "fine" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with
respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of
the Corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent
of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director,
officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner
"not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" within the meaning of that
phrase as used in this Article EIGHTH.
XI.
Venue
. Any action, suit or proceeding to determine a claim for
indemnification under this Article EIGHTH may be maintained by the person claiming such
indemnification, or by the Corporation, in the Court of Common Pleas of Fairfield County,
Ohio. The Corporation and (by claiming such indemnification) each such person consent to
the exercise of jurisdiction over its or his person by the Court of Common Pleas of
Fairfield County, Ohio in any such action, suit or proceeding.

(d)
R.G. Barry Corporation Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Section 15.05 of the Plan addresses indemnification by the Registrant of individuals who are
or were members of the Registrant's Board of Directors or of the Compensation Committee of the
Registrant's Board of Directors. Section 15.05 provides:
15.05 INDEMNIFICATION. Each individual who is or was a member of the Committee or of
the Board will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any
loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by
him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or
proceeding to which he or she may be made a party or in which he or she may be
involved by reason of any action taken or not taken under the Plan as a Committee or
Board member and against and from any and all amounts paid, with the Company's
approval, by him or her in settlement of any matter related to or arising from the
Plan as a Committee or Board member; or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any
judgment in any action, suit or proceeding relating to or arising from the Plan
against him or her as a Committee or Board member, but only if he or she gives the
Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the matter before
he or she undertakes to handle and defend it in his or her own behalf. The right of
indemnification described in this section is not exclusive and is independent of any
other rights of indemnification to which the individual may be entitled under the
Company's organizational documents, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise.

Item 9. Undertakings
.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
-14-
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
provisions described in Item 6 of this Part II, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
