FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
The Wet Seal, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby promises
to pay to the order of Cede & Co. or its registered assigns
(“ Holder ”) the amount set out above as the
Principal (as defined below) (which amount may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the
Depositary or the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, in
accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary) when
due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below),
acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance
with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“ Interest
”) on any outstanding Principal at a rate per annum equal to
the Interest Rate (as defined below), from the date set out above
as the Issuance Date (the “ Issuance Date ”)
until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest
Date (as defined below), the Maturity Date, acceleration,
conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance
with the terms hereof). This Convertible Note (including all
Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement
hereof, this “ Note ”) is one of a duly
authorized issue of Convertible Notes (collectively, the “
Notes ” and such other Secured Convertible Notes, the
“ Other Notes ”) issued from time to time
pursuant to the Indenture (as defined below). The terms of this
Note include those stated in the Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto, those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (“ TIA
”) and those set forth in this Note. This Note is subject to
all such terms and the Holder is referred to the Indenture and the
TIA for a statement of all such terms. Certain capitalized terms
are defined in Section 27.
(1) MATURITY . On the
Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in
cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid
Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any, in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture. The “ Maturity Date
” shall be January 14, 2012, as may be extended at the option
of the Majority Holders (i) in the event that, and for so long as,
an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4(a)) shall have
occurred and be continuing or any event shall have occurred and be
continuing which with the passage of time and the failure to cure
would result in an Event of Default and (ii) through the date that
is ten days after the consummation of a Change of Control in the
event that a Change of Control is publicly announced or a Change of
Control Notice (as defined in Section 5) is delivered prior to the
Maturity Date.
(2) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE .

Maturity Date during the period beginning on the
Issuance Date and ending on, and including, the Maturity Date
(each, an “ Interest Date ”) with the first
Interest Date being December 31, 2005. If any Interest Date is not
a Business Day, Interest shall be paid on the next Business Day
immediately succeeding the applicable Interest Date. Interest shall
be payable on each Interest Date in cash; provided, however, all or
any portion of the Interest due on each Interest Date shall be
capitalized on and as of such Interest Date by adding it to the
outstanding Principal on this Note (“ Capitalized
Interest ”) unless the Company delivers written notice to
the Trustee, no more than five (5) or less than two (2) Business
Days prior to such Interest Date, that it shall pay, and in fact
does pay, all or such portion of Interest due on such Interest Date
in cash. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Interest Rate shall be increased to fifteen percent (15%). In the
event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the
adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be
effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest
as calculated at such increased rate during the continuance of such
Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to
the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and
including the date of cure of such Event of Default.
(3) CONVERSION OF NOTES .
This Note shall be convertible into shares of Class A common stock
of the Company, par value $.10 per share (the “ Common
Stock ”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 3.
(a) Conversion Right .
Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on
or after the Issuance Date until the close of business on the
Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder shall be
entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid
Conversion Amount (as defined below) in multiples of $1,000
principal amount into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as
defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share
of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result
in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the
Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to
the nearest whole share, or, at the option of the Company, the
Company may pay cash to the Holder for the value of any fractional
share, based on the Closing Bid Price as of the applicable
Conversion Date. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may
be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common
Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the
Holder and no such issue or delivery to a Person other than the
Holder shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such
issue and delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such
tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that
such tax has been paid.
(b) Conversion Rate . The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any
Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by
dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price
(the “ Conversion Rate ”).
(i) “ Conversion Amount
” means the sum of (A) the portion of the Principal to be
converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this
determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with
respect to such Principal and (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges
with respect to such Principal and Interest.
- 4 -
(ii) “ Conversion Price
” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or
other date of determination, $1.50, subject to adjustment as
provided herein.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion
.
(i) Optional Conversion . To
convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any
date (a “ Conversion Date ”), the Holder shall
(A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), to the Trustee,
and the Trustee shall have received, on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New
York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “
Conversion Notice ”) and (B) if required by Section
3(c)(iii), surrender this Note to the Trustee, as soon as
practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification
undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss,
theft or destruction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case
this Note is a Global Security (as defined in the Indenture), a
beneficial owner of an interest in such security must complete, or
cause to be completed, during such time the Depositary is the
Holder of this Note, the appropriate instruction form for
conversion (such form, also for purposes of this Note, a
“Conversion Notice”) pursuant to the Depositary’s
book-entry conversion program, and deliver, or cause to be
delivered, by book-entry delivery an interest in such Global
Security, all in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
Depositary. On or before the close of business on the second
Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice
(the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall
(X) provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in
The Depository Trust Company’s (“ DTC ”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, cause its transfer
agent to credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to
which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its
designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if such transfer agent is
not participating in DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program, execute, and shall deliver, to the address as specified in
the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the
holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to
which the holder shall be entitled. If this Note is required to be
physically surrendered for conversion pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater
than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being
converted, then the Company shall execute, and shall cause the
Trustee to authenticate and deliver, at the Company’s
expense, to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture) representing the outstanding Principal
not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such
shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(ii) Company’s Failure to
Timely Convert . If the Company shall (either directly or
through its transfer agent) fail to issue a certificate to the
Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled upon conversion of any Conversion Amount on or prior to
the date which is five Business Days after the Conversion Date (a
“ Conversion Failure ”), then (A) the Company
shall pay damages to the Holder for each date of such Conversion
Failure in an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (I) the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or
prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is
entitled, and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on
the Share Delivery Date and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to
the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and
retain or
- 5 -
have returned, as the case may be,
any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to
such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a
Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations
to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such
notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition
to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the
Trustee’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion
Notice the Company shall fail to execute, and shall fail to cause
its transfer agent to deliver, a certificate to the Holder or
credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such
Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount, and if on or
after such Trading Day a holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by the holder of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion that the holder anticipated receiving from the Company
(a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within
three Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the
holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased (the “Buy-In Price ”), at which point
the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to
issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor
its obligation to issue to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the
product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the
Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.
(iii) Book-Entry . In the
event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Note,
including an exchange, transfer, redemption or conversion of this
Note in part only, the Depositary or the Trustee, as custodian of
the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect
such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the rules and
procedures of the Depositary.
(iv) Pro Rata Conversion . In
the event that the Trustee receives a Conversion Notice from more
than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the
Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the
Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section
3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have
Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount (in such
denominations and multiples thereof set forth in the Indenture) of
such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion
based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on
such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount
of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date.
(d) Limitations on
Conversions . The Company shall not effect any conversion of
this Note, and any holder shall not have the right to convert any
portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a), to the extent that
after giving effect to such conversion, such holder (together with
its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the
“ Conversion Limitation ”) of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder
and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which
the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude
the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note
beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates and (B)
exercise or
- 6 -
conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any warrants) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein beneficially owned by the holder or any of its
affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Section
3(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent
Form 10-K, 10-Q or Form 8-K, as the case may be (y) a more recent
public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the
Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the
written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one
Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number
of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the
Company, including this Note, by the holder or its affiliates since
the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, any holder
may increase or decrease the Conversion Limitation to any other
percentage specified in such notice but such percentage shall not
be in excess of 9.99%; provided that (i) any such increase will not
be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to
the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only
to the holder sending such notice and not to any other holder of
Notes.
(4) RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF
DEFAULT .
(a) Event of Default . Each
of the following events shall constitute an “ Event of
Default ”:
(i) the failure of the applicable
Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the

Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period

Agreement));

due, in which case only if such failure continues for a period of
at least three (3) Business Days;
(vi) (A) any of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries shall fail to make any payment (whether of

period set forth therein) or (B) any event or condition occurs that
results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its
scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (after giving effect
to the expiration of any grace or cure period set forth therein)
the holder or holders of any such Material Indebtedness or any

the Company or any of its Subsidiaries aggregating in excess of

within 60 days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or
stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within 60 days after
the expiration of
- 8 -
such stay; provided ,
however, that any judgment or settlement which is covered by
insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be
included in calculating the $1,000,000 amount set forth above so
long as the Company provides to the Trustee, on behalf of the
Holder, a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider
(which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Majority Holders) to the effect that such judgment or settlement is
covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company will receive
the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within 30 days of the
