The Purchaser understands, however, that notwithstanding this obligation on the part of the Company to register the resale of the Registrable Securities and to keep the Registration Statement effective, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to have the Registration Statement declared effective and keep the Registration Statement effective until the Purchaser has sold all the Registrable Securities owned by the Purchaser registered thereon. The Company’s obligation to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement shall be subject to the Purchaser’s delivery to the Company of such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of the Company held by the Purchaser, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities. The Company shall, promptly upon receipt of notice of a transfer by the Purchaser, add to the Registration Statement any transferee of the Shares, any transferee of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued as dividends on the Shares, and any transferee of the Warrants.
12 |
6.2. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of the sale of Shares hereunder solely for paying, settling or discharging accounts payable of the Company.
6.3. NYSE MKT Additional Listing Application Approval. The Company shall promptly after the date hereof use its best efforts to obtain approval from the NYSE MKT to list the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares (including dividends) and exercise of the Warrants, and shall not issue any such shares of Common Stock unless and until such approval is obtained.
6.4. Shareholder Approval. The Purchaser and its affiliates currently own an aggregate of 10,153,299 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 26.1% of the outstanding shares. Fursa Alternative Strategies LLC (“Fursa”), on behalf of certain funds and accounts affiliated with or managed by it or its affiliates, together with Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Chief Investment Officer of Fursa, currently own an aggregate of 17,287,335 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 44.4% of the outstanding shares. In accordance with NYSE MKT interpretations and guidelines relating to obtaining shareholder approval upon a change of control, the Company shall not issue to the Purchaser shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of Warrants in excess of 7,134,036, unless and until the Company obtains shareholder approval in connection with such issuance. If, at any time, the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants exceeds 7,134,036, the Company shall immediately thereupon use its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of the issuance of all shares of Common Stock then and at any time thereafter issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Amendment and the Warrants.
6.5. Actions Required With Respect to Dividends. The Corporation shall take all actions required or permitted under the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York (the “BCL”) (a) to permit the payment of the Series A Preferred Dividend (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment), including through the revaluation of its assets in accordance with the BCL, to make or keep funds legally available for the payment of dividends and (b) to declare and pay such dividends.
7. Miscellaneous.
7.1. Survival of Warranties and Covenants. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive for twelve (12) months from the date hereof (the date that is twelve (12) months from the date hereof, the “Survival Date”) regardless of any investigation made by the Purchaser or on its behalf. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to claims for breaches of representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, no party will be liable with respect thereto unless written notice of a possible claim with respect to such breach is given by the party making such claim on or prior to the Survival Date, it being understood that so long as such written notice is given on or prior to the Survival Date, such representations and warranties shall continue to survive until such matter is resolved.

Litigation Matters
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated x. Xxxxxxxxx’x of Hollywood, Inc., Case No. CGC-12-517909. On February 2, 2012, a former California store employee filed a purported class action lawsuit in the California Superior Court, County of San Francisco, naming Frederick’s of Hollywood, Inc. (“Frederick’s) as a defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, violations of the California Labor Code, failure to pay overtime, failure to provide meal and rest periods and termination compensation and violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law. The complaint seeks, among other relief, collective and class certification of the lawsuit (the class being defined as all California retail store hourly employees), unspecified damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and such other relief as the Court might find just and proper. An answer to the Plaintiff’s first amended complaint was filed on April 5, 2012. The case is in the discovery phase.

Re: | Frederick’s of Hollywood Group Inc. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is being furnished pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between Frederick’s of Hollywood Group Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), and TTG Apparel, LLC (the “Purchaser”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
We have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Agreement. As such counsel, we have examined and are familiar with and have relied upon the following documents:
(a) | the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws, each as amended to date, of the Company; |
(b) | a copy of the Agreement, the Warrants and the Certificate of Amendment (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”); and |
(c) | such other records of meetings, documents, instruments and certificates (including but not limited to certificates of public officials and officers of the Company) as we have considered necessary for purposes of this opinion. |
In connection with the above listed items, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of the documents submitted to us as certified, fax or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon the certificates of officers of the Company and upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreement.
Based on the foregoing and upon such investigation as we have deemed necessary, we give you our opinion as follows:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of New York. The Company is validly existing in the State of New York
2. The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now conducted.
3. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
4. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party is a legally valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, or (iii) to the extent indemnification provisions may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.
5. The shares of Series A Preferred Equity being purchased under the Purchase Agreement are duly authorized and will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable when paid for in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
7. The execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, will not (a) violate the Restated Certificate or by-laws of the Company, (b), to our knowledge, violate any federal or New York law or governmental rule or regulation applicable to the Company, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, or (c), to our knowledge, require any consents, approvals or authorizations to be obtained by the Company from, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the Company with, any Governmental Authority under any federal or New York statute or regulation or the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, applicable to the Company on or prior to the date hereof, that have not been obtained or made, except for filings pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws.
9. To our knowledge, the Company is not a party to, or expressly bound by, any judgment, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority which would restrict or interfere with the performance by it of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
10. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the offer and sale of the shares of the Series A Preferred Equity under the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
No opinion is expressed herein other than as to the laws of the State of New York and the federal securities laws of the United States of America. Specifically, we express no opinion with respect to (i) the law of any other state of the United States, and (ii) the law of any foreign country, including any such law governing the issuance of securities in any such country.
Where an opinion is qualified by our knowledge as to a certain matter relating to the Company, knowledge is deemed to be based on the actual knowledge of those attorneys that are currently employed by this firm as of the date of this opinion who have been actively engaged on matters for which we have been employed by the Company.
This opinion is addressed solely to the Purchaser, and is being delivered to it. This opinion is solely for the benefit of the Purchaser and may not be relied upon in any manner by any other person.
Very truly yours,
