5	LICENSOR’S USE OF LICENSED PRODUCT

For each style, model or variation of each Licensed Product, during the Contract Term, Licensee shall supply Licensor, at no charge and at no cost or expense, with up to five (5) of each style of the Licensed Products per Contract Year, as Licensor may reasonably request for the marketing or promotional use of Licensor (not for resale), including, but not limited to, use in Licensor’s showrooms and trade-show exhibits. In addition, Licensor may purchase Licensed Products from Licensee (at Licensee’s manufacturer’s cost) for the marketing or promotional use of Licensor (not for resale), including, but not limited to, use in Licensor’s showrooms and trade-show exhibits. Upon request by Licensor, Licensee shall promptly provide one sample of all finished products, including hangtags using the XXXXX BAHAMA Marks for intellectual property purposes.

6	MINIMUM NET SALES

With respect to each Contract Year during the Contract Term, Licensee must generate the Minimum Net Sales as set forth on “Exhibit E.”

7	GUARANTEED ROYALTY AND EARNED ROYALTY

7.1

In consideration for the license granted by the Licensor hereunder, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the Guaranteed Royalty set forth on “Exhibit F” hereto. The Guaranteed Royalty for each succeeding Contract Year during the Contract Term shall be paid in four (4) equal installments on or before the first day of each calendar quarter commencing during that Contract Year. Within each Contract Year, the Guaranteed Royalty is paid as a non-refundable advance towards amount due as Earned Royalty for Licensed Products. No part of any Guaranteed Royalty may be carried forward or backward as a credit from one Contract Year to any other, or to any applicable Sell-Off Period.

7.2

Licensee shall pay to Licensor an Earned Royalty on Net Sales for all Sales of all Licensed Products (except for Sales to TB Stores) sold by Licensee during each Contract Year based on the rates set forth on “Exhibit G” hereto. To the extent that such Earned Royalty for Licensed Products exceeds the Guaranteed Royalty previously paid for a given quarter, such amount payments shall be payable within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of each calendar

quarter during which sales of Licensed Products have been made. Past due payments shall bear interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to (a) the Prime Rate plus ****** percent (******%) per annum, or (b) the maximum interest rate permissible under law, whichever is less.

7.3

All royalties due Licensor shall accrue upon the Sale of the Licensed Products regardless of time of collection by Licensee (subject to credits for returned Licensed Products).

7.4

Licensee may reconcile the amounts owed for Guaranteed and Earned Royalties every Contract Year on June 1 and December 1. For example, if during a Contract Year, Licensee’s Net Sales were much higher during one quarter than the Minimum Sales requirement would anticipate (resulting in a payment of Earned Royalties), but then much lower in the subsequent quarter, it would be feasible that Licensee would need to reconcile an overpayment of Earned Royalties when compared to the actual Net Sales and royalties due for such period. In such a case, Licensee may reduce the Guaranteed Royalty amount due on June 1 and / or December 1, as applicable, to reconcile any previous overpayment. This allowance for reconciliation does not, under any circumstances, allow Licensee to reduce its Guaranteed Royalty for any reason other than for reconciling excess Earned Royalty payments already made. Furthermore, this paragraph does not in any way diminish the requirement that Licensee pay Earned Royalties every calendar quarter of the Contract Term if such amounts are due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

8.	SALES AND ROYALTY REPORTS

8.1

Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, and at least one (1) year in advance of the beginning of every subsequent Contract Year during the Contract Term, Licensee will send Licensor its sales projection for that next Contract Year, broken out by month, along with a detailed list of all media placements for Marketing Support.

8.2.

Licensee shall supply Licensor with a Quarterly Statement, as shown on “Exhibit K,” with respect to all sales of Licensed Products sold during each calendar quarter. Each Quarterly Statement shall be delivered to Licensor within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the applicable quarter.

8.3

In addition, Quarterly Statements for the final quarter of each Contract Year shall include, without limitation, an annual report of the foregoing for the entire Contract Year. The Licensee’s Chief Financial Officer shall indicate by signature that s/he has reviewed and agrees with such annual report. On request by Licensor, Licensee shall provide backup and support materials with respect to any item contained in any Quarterly Statement so that Licensor shall have sufficient information to evaluate the sources for any item contained in the Quarterly Statement and to track Licensee’s performance under this Agreement.

8.4

Within twenty (20) days following the end of each calendar month, Licensee shall fax to Licensor an Estimated Net Sales Report as detailed on “Exhibit L”. This report is:

An estimate of the monthly Net Sales for the previous month, which should as accurately as possible reflect all of the Net Sales of Licensed Products for that month;

A re-forecasted estimate of the monthly Net Sales of Licensed Products for the remainder of the Licensor’s “Fiscal Year” (currently February 2 through February 1); and

A re-forecasted estimate of the monthly Net Sales of Close-Out Licensed Products for the remainder of the Licensor’s Fiscal Year.

8.5

It is the responsibility of the Licensee to submit the information required by this Agreement on a timely basis as required herein, and in a businesslike manner. It shall not be the responsibility of the Licensor to call, fax, write or otherwise attempt to obtain the required information from Licensee.

9.2

The invoice setting forth such expenses shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt. Licensee may show Licensed Products at the FFANY and WSA trade shows (and any successor trade shows) and, subject to Licensor’s prior written approval, any other industry trade shows.

9.3

Shortfall. During each Contract Year, Licensee shall spend no less than the applicable sum for National Advertising and / or Marketing Support as set forth in “Exhibit H.” If the Licensee fails to spend the required sum during any Contract Year, an amount equal to such deficiency (the “Shortfall”) shall promptly be paid to Licensor as an additional royalty, not creditable against Guaranteed Royalties. However, in lieu of such payment, Licensee may, at Licensor’s sole discretion, only in the succeeding Contract Year, use the Shortfall to pay for additional National Advertising and / or Marketing Support. Licensee may propose such use to Licensor for review only under the following conditions: (i) the Shortfall is spent during the first quarter of that succeeding Contract Year and the expense is reflected in the Quarterly Statement for that quarter, (ii) the minimum expenditures for National Advertising and / or Marketing Support for each Contract Year shall be made in addition to the application of the appropriate Shortfall, and (iii) the sole reason for the Shortfall is that actual Net Sales shall have exceeded Minimum Net Sales for the Contract Year of the Shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, the only two options for the use of a Shortfall accruing under the previous sentence are to pay it as an additional royalty or to spend it for additional National Advertising and / or Marketing Support; in no event may any Shortfall be applied toward the minimum amounts required under this Agreement for National Advertising and / or Marketing Support and such application is at the sole discretion of Licensor.

9.4

Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, and at least one (1) year in advance of the beginning of every subsequent Contract Year (which projections shall be reforecasted with the Statement of Estimated Monthly Net Sales detailed on “Exhibit L”), Licensee shall submit for approval by Licensor a written production, sales and marketing plan for the forthcoming Contract Year. Such plan shall be sent in accordance with the notice provisions provided under this Agreement. Licensor shall have fifteen (15) business days in which to approve or disapprove any such plan. It is understood between the parties that if Licensee does not receive a response from Licensor within five (5) business days after the fifteen (15) business day period detailed above, the Licensor has disapproved such request. In the event that Licensor shall disapprove any plan so submitted, Licensee shall have ten (10) business days in which to submit a revised written plan. At the written request of Licensee, however, Licensor and Licensee shall discuss in good faith the reasons for that disapproval. The failure to submit a revised written plan in a form satisfactory to Licensor within the above period shall constitute a default under this Agreement, subject to the cure provisions set forth in this Agreement.

18	CODE OF CONDUCT

18.1

Licensee shall not, in any manner, authorize or purport to authorize another to use the XXXXX BAHAMA Marks, except to the extent specifically provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may have the XXXXX BAHAMA Marks affixed to Licensed Products wherever being manufactured, provided Licensee takes all necessary precautions to prevent labels, tags and other indicia of the XXXXX BAHAMA Marks from being used otherwise than in connection with the Licensed Products. Licensee may manufacture, or have manufactured, the Licensed Products outside of the Territory, however, under no circumstances may Licensee manufacture or have manufactured Licensed Products in Myanmar and such countries as Licensor shall advise Licensee are prohibited based on their noncompliance with applicable labor laws and Licensor’s Code of Conduct, as required in the manufacturing agreement (“Supplier Agreement”), attached hereto as “Exhibit O”, and made a part of this Agreement or such other reasons as Licensor shall in its sole discretion determine.

18.2

Licensor’s Code of Conduct applies to any entity manufacturing, or otherwise in the line of production of Licensed Products (including the components thereof) and it is attached hereto as “Addendum 1 to Exhibit O”. Licensee must exercise commercially reasonable efforts to have all third party manufacturers, subcontractors and suppliers (“Supplier”) comply with the terms of the Code of Conduct and will evidence such efforts by:

(a)

Prior to the commencement of the manufacturing of Licensed Products, Licensee executing, and having all Suppliers execute, the Code of Conduct in the form attached hereto, retaining such documents in a safe place and providing such documents immediately to Licensor at its request; and

(b)

Displaying and having all Suppliers display the Code of Conduct in the language of the applicable country, in a clearly visible location in Licensee’s manufacturing facilities (if applicable) and in the manufacturing facilities of Licensee’s Suppliers, at all times during the Contract Term.

In the event Licensor provides Licensee with written notice that Licensee or a Supplier is not complying with the Code of Conduct, Licensee shall have twenty (20) business days to comply or attempt to cause the violating Supplier to comply with the Code of Conduct. If compliance is not established within the twenty (20) business day period, Licensee shall move its business immediately from any Supplier failing to comply with the Code of Conduct within thirty (30) days following written notice from Licensor, to an approved Supplier who does comply with the Code of Conduct.

18.3

Licensee agrees that prior to the commencement of the manufacturing of Licensed Products, it will have in effect, to the satisfaction of Licensor, a program of monitoring manufacturing facilities, whether operated by Licensee or by Suppliers, that is sufficient to ensure their compliance with the Code of Conduct and all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to wages, overtime compensation, benefits, hours, hiring and employment, workplace conditions and safety, the environment, collective bargaining, and freedom of association, and that the other products manufactured by Supplier and the components thereof are made without the use of child (persons under the age of 15 or younger than the age for completing compulsory education, if that age is younger than 15), prison, indentured, exploited, bonded, forced or slave labor. Such compliance will be evidenced by Licensee, upon execution of this Agreement, by executing and abiding by the Certification in the form presented on “Addendum 2 to Exhibit O” to the Supplier Agreement, as may be amended from time to time and executing and abiding by any such other form as may be provided by Licensor from time to time. If Licensee uses an agent for monitoring Suppliers, then such agent(s) shall be approved in writing by Licensor. If Licensee already has in place such agent(s) pursuant to a preexisting contract, then Licensor shall be authorized to engage its own agent to monitor Licensee’s Suppliers on an as needed basis, but at least once quarterly, at Licensee’s expense. Additionally, without notice, Licensor, or its authorized agents, shall have the right to audit all manufacturing facilities.

18.4

Within thirty (30) days after establishing a new arrangement with a Supplier, Licensee must obtain and provide to Licensor, the signature of an authorized representative from each Supplier on a Certification in the form set forth in “Addendum 2 to Exhibit O” or such other form as may be provided by Licensor from time to time. In the event Licensee has knowledge of, has reason to believe, or should have reason to know that any Supplier is in breach of the Supplier Agreement and/or Certification, as the case may be, Licensee must immediately notify Licensor and Licensee shall, at its sole expense, take immediate action to rectify such breach, including, where Licensor deems it necessary, immediate termination of its relationship with such Supplier. If Licensee fails to take immediate action or such action is not successful, Licensee will assign its rights to proceed against any such Supplier to Licensor and Licensor will, at Licensee’s sole expense, have the right to pursue all available remedies to protect its rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee acknowledges that it will remain primarily liable and completely obligated under all of the provisions of this Agreement in respect of the production of Licensed Products hereunder. Further, such Licensee failure shall be grounds for termination of this Agreement.

18.5

In addition to all other reports required by this Agreement, in order to maintain Licensor’s high standard of quality control and to ensure that appropriate measures are taken against counterfeiting, Licensee shall provide a report to Licensor on a quarterly basis with all of the following information:

(j)

The Licensor may itself use or license the use of XXXXX BAHAMA Marks in any manner; and

(k)

Licensee does not expressly refuse to partake in the Sell-Off Period at the time that such Sell-Off Period is granted; which, if such is the case, means that Licensee is deemed to be in Sell-Off Period for the full period granted hereunder.

20.3

In the event such Licensed Products do not conform to the samples submitted in accordance with Section 4, Licensee shall immediately remove all XXXXX BAHAMA Marks, including labels and promotional and packaging materials from the Licensed Products. In all other events, Licensee shall remove and return to Licensor all XXXXX BAHAMA Marks including labels and promotional and packaging material from any Licensed Product remaining in its inventory six (6) months after the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement.

20.4

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensor shall be entitled to all royalties due as of the date of expiration or termination.

20.5

Within ten (10) business days after expiration or termination, Licensee shall deliver and return to Licensor any and all documents embodying Licensor’s Confidential Information.

20.6

20.7

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, all rights granted herein shall revert to Licensor, which may license others to use the XXXXX BAHAMA Marks in any way whatsoever.

20.10

Bankruptcy.

(a)

If Licensee shall become insolvent under either the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or files for any relief under any bankruptcy law or regulation in any jurisdiction or place, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if Licensee shall be made a defendant in any proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership law, other than an involuntary bankruptcy which is not stayed or discharged within ninety (90) days, or if Licensee shall be adjudged bankrupt, or if a receiver or trustee for the property of Licensee shall be appointed, this Agreement shall hereupon terminate at the option of Licensor.

(b)

The parties hereby agree and intend that this Agreement is an executory contract governed by Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)

In the event of Licensee’s bankruptcy, the parties intend that all royalties payable under this Agreement following the commencement of a bankruptcy case shall be deemed administrative priority claims under the Bankruptcy Code because the parties recognize and agree that the bankruptcy estate’s enjoyment of this Agreement will (i) provide a material benefit to the bankruptcy estate during its reorganization and (ii) deny Licensor the benefit of the exploitation of the rights through alternate means during the bankruptcy reorganization.

(d)

The parties acknowledge and agree that any delay in the decision of a debtor-in-possession or trustee of the bankruptcy estate to assume or reject the Agreement (the “Decision Period”) materially xxxxx Licensor by interfering with Licensor’s ability to alternatively exploit the rights granted under this Agreement during a Decision Period of uncertain duration. The parties recognize that arranging appropriate alternative exploitation of the XXXXX BAHAMA Marks a time consuming and expensive process and that it is unreasonable for Licensor to endure a Decision Period of extended uncertainty. Therefore, the parties agree that the Decision Period shall not exceed sixty (60) days.

(e)

Licensor, in its interest to safeguard its valuable interests (including, without limitation, its intellectual property rights in the XXXXX BAHAMA Marks), has relied on the particular skill and knowledge base of Licensee. Therefore, the parties acknowledge and agree that in a bankruptcy context this Agreement is a license of the type described by Section 365(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and may not be assigned without the prior written consent of Licensor.

Manufacturer further recognized and acknowledges that a breach by Manufacturer of any of its covenants, agreements or other undertakings hereunder will cause TBG irreparable damage, which cannot be adequately remedied in damages in an action at law, and may, in addition thereto, constitute an infringement of TBG’s rights in the Trademarks, thereby entitling TBG to equitable remedies, costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.

Addendum 1 to

Exhibit O

Xxxxx Bahama Group, Inc.

CODE OF CONDUCT

These Standards apply to all of the Xxxxx Bahama Group, Inc. (“TBG”) Business Partners. TBG strongly encourages Business Partners to exceed these Standards and promote best practices and compliance by Business Partners with the Standards.

While TBG recognizes that there are different legal and cultural environments in which Business Partners operate throughout the world, these Standards set forth the basic minimum requirements Business Partners must meet in order to do business with TBG. The Standards also provide the foundation for TBG ongoing evaluation of compliance by Business Partners with the Standards.

Business Partners are defined as vendors, manufacturers, contractors, subcontractors and other suppliers, sources and agents who provide TBG with goods or services ordered pursuant to any purchase order, contract or agreement issued directly by TBG or ordered on TBG behalf.

LAWS & REGULATIONS

All TBG Business Partners must operate in full compliance with all applicable local and national laws, rules and regulations pertaining to all aspects of factory operations in the jurisdiction of which they conduct business.

EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

TBG will only do business with Business Partners whose workers are treated fairly and who in all cases are present voluntarily, not put at risk of physical harm, fairly compensated, and allowed the right of free association and not exploited in any way. Business Partners shall ensure procedures are in place by which workers, alleging violations of these Standards, may do so without fear of negative repercussions.

In addition, TBG Business Partners must adhere to the following:

Wage and Benefits: TBG Business Partners must pay workers wages and legally mandated benefits that comply with any applicable law. In addition to their compensation for regular hours of work, workers shall be compensated for overtime hours at such premium rates as are legally required, or in those countries where such laws do not exist, at least equal to their regular hourly wage rate.

Working Hours: TBG expects its Business Partners to operate based on prevailing local work hours. Except in extraordinary circumstances, Business Partners shall limit the number of hours that workers may work on a regularly scheduled basis to the legal limit on regular and overtime hours established by local laws and regulations in the jurisdiction in which they

manufacture. subject to the requirements of local law, a regularly scheduled workweek of no more than sixty (60) hours and one day off in every seven (7) day period is encouraged. Partners will comply with applicable laws that entitle workers to vacation time, leave periods and holidays. Business Partners must regularly provide reasonable rest periods and one day off within a seven-day period. Any time worked over the norm for the area should be compensated as prescribed by the local labor laws.

Child Labor: Use of child labor is strictly prohibited. Business Partners must observe all legal requirements for the work of authorized minors, particularly those relating to hours of work, wages, minimum education and working conditions. TBG supports the development of legitimate, workplace apprenticeship programs and Business Partners will be expected to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to such apprenticeship programs. “Child” is defined as a person who is younger than 15 (or 14 where the law of that country permits) or younger than the age for completing compulsory education in the country where such age is higher than 15. TBG will not utilize Business Partners who use or permit the use of child labor in any of their facilities.

Prison Labor / Forced Labor: Business Partners will not use or permit the use of bonded labor, indentured labor, prison labor or forced Labor in the manufacture or finishing of products ordered by TBG. Nor will TBG knowingly purchase materials from a Business Partner utilizing bonded labor, indentured labor, prison labor or forced Labor. “Forced labor” is defined as any work or service which is extracted from any person under the threat of penalty for its non-performance and for which the worker does not offer himself voluntarily.

Discrimination: While TBG recognizes and respects cultural differences, employment (hiring, wages, benefits, advancement, termination, and retirement) shall be based on the worker’s ability and not on personal characteristics. TBG believes that workers should be employed on the basis of their ability to do the job, rather than on the basis of gender, age, disability, racial characteristics, cultural or religious beliefs or similar factors. TBG will not utilize Business Partners who discriminate against workers on the basis of gender, age, disability, racial characteristics, cultural or religious beliefs or similar factors.

Free Association: Workers must be free to join organizations of their own choice. Business Partners shall recognize and respect the rights of workers to freedom of association and collective bargaining. Workers shall not be subject to intimidation or harassment in the peaceful exercise of their legal right to join or to refrain from joining an organization.

Disciplinary Practices: All Business Partners must treat all workers with respect and dignity. TBG will not utilize Business Partners who use, or permit the use of corporal punishment, physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or other forms of mental or physical coercion, abuse or intimidation. Business Partners shall not use, or permit the use of fines as a disciplinary practice.

Women’s Rights: All Business Partners will ensure that workers who are women receive equal treatment in all aspects of employment. Pregnancy tests will not be a condition of employment or continuation thereof and pregnancy testing, to the extent it is provided, will be voluntary and at the option of the worker. Workers will not be exposed to hazards that may endanger their reproductive health and Business Partners will not force workers to use contraception.

Health & Safety: TBG will only utilize Business Partners who provide workers with a clean, safe and healthful work environment designated to prevent accidents and injuries arising out of or occurring while in the course of work or as a result of the operation of a Business Partner’s facility. All Business Partners must comply with all applicable, legally mandated standards for workplace health and safety. Where applicable, Business Partners who provide residential facilities for their workers must provide safe and healthy facilities that comply with legally mandated standards for health and safety.

ETHICAL STANDARDS

TBG will seek to identify and work with Business Partners who aspire as individuals and in the conduct of their business to a set of ethical standards which are compatible with TBG standards. Bribes, kickbacks or other similar unlawful or improper payments are strictly prohibited to be given to any person or entity to obtain or retain business.

ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

All Business Partners must comply with environmental rules, regulations and standards applicable to their operations.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

TBG policy is to obey the laws of each country in which merchandise is manufactured for TBG. Business Partners will comply with all applicable local and national laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to all aspects of factory operations. This includes compliance with these Standards and the terms and conditions of purchase orders issued by TBG or on TBG’s behalf and also requires attention to U.S. country of origin regulations which govern quota classification and the marking of products.

MONITORING / COMPLIANCE

TBG takes affirmative measures to monitor compliance with TBG Standards and TBG’s Purchase Order Terms and Conditions. Such measures may include prescreening Business Partners, scheduled or random, announced and unannounced on-site inspections of factories by TBG representatives, or certification by TBG Business Partners that TBG Standards have been complied with.

TBG associates and representatives have been asked to be watchful for violations of TBG Standards on visits to factories or manufacturing facilities and to report questionable conduct to management for follow up and when appropriate, for corrective action.

RECORD KEEPING

All Business Partners must maintain in the factories producing merchandise for TBG all documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance with TBG Standards. Business Partners must furnish TBG representatives reasonable access to production facilities, employment records and workers for confidential interviews in connection with monitoring factory or inspection visits. Business Partners must promptly respond to reasonable inquires by TBG representatives concerning the operations of factories with respect to TBG Standards.

SUBCONTRACTING

Business Partners shall not utilize subcontractors for the production of TBG’s merchandise, or components thereof, without TBG’s prior written approval and only after the subcontractor has agreed to comply with TBG’s Standards. Business Partners shall require each TBG’s approved subcontractor to abide by the Standards. Business Partners shall be held accountable for a subcontractor’s failure to abide by TBG’s Standards.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

If a Business Partner is in violation of TBG’s Standards, TBG will work with the Business Partner to remediate the violation if at all possible. If this effort is unsuccessful or not possible, TBG shall reevaluate its business relationship with the Business Partner and shall take appropriate corrective action. Corrective action may include cancellation of the affected order, prohibition of subsequent use of a factory or termination of TBG business relationship with any Business Partner found to be in violation of these Standards, or exercising any other rights and remedies to which TBG may be entitled under Purchase Orders issued by TBG or on behalf of TBG, at law or otherwise.
