Party of the second part,

After agreeing the following by way of prologue:

The Licensor, together with its parent and affiliated companies, is the owner of the trademarks "QUIKSILVER" and "ROXY" and the logos that are associated with them, including but not limited to the "Mountain & Wave" logo and the "Heart" logo that it registered as marks in various countries throughout the world and under which it has for many years now designed, developed, manufactured, distributed and promoted a vast line of clothing, accessories, sports equipment and associated products designed for a dynamic customer base that adopts a relaxed lifestyle, stemming from a board riding heritage, with an exclusive and upscale range.

The marks "QUIKSILVER" and "ROXY" and their associated logos have in the Licensor's field of business acquired a worldwide renown and the Licensor wishes to expand more into the area of cosmetics, skin care and perfumes.

For its part, the Licensee has a first-rate position on the world-wide market for perfume and cosmetics products, thanks to the resources and the long experience it has both in the field of design and development and in the field of communication and distribution.

In the scope of the negotiations between the Licensee and the Licensor, and in consideration of the beneficial effect that the joining of their respective forces will not fail to have on their businesses, the parties have examined the conditions under which the attribution of a licence for the perfumes to the Licensee could be done to their mutual benefit.

In this context, use of the term "exclusive" means that, for the entire term of this Agreement, the Licensor shall refrain from granting other licences pertaining to the creation, development, manufacturing and/or selling of the Products that carry the Marks Granted in accordance with Article 10.1.

2.2 The Licensee hereby explicitly undertakes to exploit its best efforts to promote, develop and expand sales of the Products in the Territory, so as to ensure continuous and growing knowledge of and demand for the Products in and through each of the countries in the Territory.

Furthermore, since the rights granted to the Licensee by this Agreement are strictly personal and non-transferable and non-assignable, the Licensee undertakes not to grant total or partial sub-licences of its rights granted under this Agreement, and undertakes not to provide as collateral, not to pledge or grant any right drawn from this Agreement to any third party whatsoever.

3.8 The parties agree that the good name and renown of "QUIKSILVER" and "ROXY" and the other Granted Marks in the Licensor's field of business is a significant factor of these marks.

In this perspective, the Licensor undertakes to maintain the good name and renown of the names "QUIKSILVER" and "ROXY" in its exclusive field, so as to regularly support the Licensee in its efforts to position the "QUIKSILVER" and "ROXY" marks on the markets of beauty products and perfumes.

In particular, the manufacture of the Products and the disposal of any surplus or waste raw materials, ingredients or Products must be in conformity with all laws and regulations, and health and safety standards, in all the countries comprising the Territory, and must, in particular, respect the environment, and the Licensee must not test any Products, ingredients or raw materials on any animals.

Furthermore, the manufacture of any Product must be in conformity, and the Licensee shall do its best efforts that all the factories and sub-contractors that it will use are also in conformity, with the provisions of the "Quiksilver Ethical Standard of Trade" (Quest Code), that is reproduced in Appendix 7 hereto.

The Parties agree that the Licensee will retain control over all the technical stages of the industrial development. It will be free to select the suppliers of the packaging items (moulds, lids, pumps, pouches, spacers, labels, etc.), it being understood that prior to any commencement of manufacture, the Licensee will seek the prior written consent of the Licensor, which will be given as quickly as possible.

The Licensor may, subject to reasonable advance notice sent to the Licensee and at the reasonable costs of the Licensee, during regular opening hours, inspect any production units, including the production units of sub-contractors, suppliers, etc., of the Licensee where any Product is produced, to enable the Licensor to verify that the Licensee is complying with the provisions of this Agreement concerning the type and quality of Products and the use of any one of the Marks Granted in relation to the Products.

The Licensee will send the Licensor for information purposes, within a reasonable time prior to the launch of each Product or new line of Products of this Agreement, samples or mock-ups of the Products in question, with their packaging, for the Licensor's prior written consent.

If the Licensor has not presented reservations in writing to the Licensee within [___________]¹ after the receipt of the samples or mock-ups, it will be deemed to be satisfied with the plan.

Otherwise, if the Licensor does notify the Licensee in writing of any reservations or notifies the Licensee in writing that it does not approve any one of the Products or new line of Products within [___________]^{2 Confidential}  after the receipt of samples or test models, the parties will negotiate on the measures to be taken to take the Licensor's wishes into account.

Also in all circumstances, the Licensee will not manufacture, distribute, market or sell any Product or line of Products, unless the Licensor has approved them in advance or is considered to have approved them in accordance with this Article 4.4.

In general, it is explicitly agreed that it is the Licensor that has authority to give the final and necessary approval for any plan and any Product or line of Products, and that the Licensee may not undertake any measures consequent to a plan submitted to the Licensor without the objections that may potentially be raised by the Licensor first being taken into account by the Licensee to the satisfaction of the Licensor.

Without limiting and of its other rights, the Licensor may by notice in writing require the Licensee at the Licensee’s sole cost to immediately effect a recall of any of the Products if, in the reasonable opinion of the Licensor, such Products pose a health or safety risk for any person or are likely to result in any event that could materially material impair or devalue the goodwill or reputation of the Granted Marks.

The Licensee shall comply with any such notice as soon as it is able to do so.

The Products may not be distributed, sold or marketed by the Licensee in any distribution system or outlets outside of the Approved Distribution Channels, without the prior written consent of the Licensor.

The registrations will be done solely in the Licensor's name and/or in that of an affiliate if it deems it justified in respect of the project and of the commercial plans. The Licensee's request for such additional registrations will be examined in good faith by the Licensor, which remains the sole decision-maker as to the filing and which will pay any additional filing costs. The Licensee undertakes, as required, to supply any signature, document and/or assistance in obtaining the filings of the Marks Granted under this article.

The Licensee undertakes then to sign without delay at the Licensor's request any document involved in such assigning back.

Without limiting the foregoing, the amount spent on Advertising and Promotion Activities relating to the launch of any new Product during the twelve (12) month period from such launch must be sufficient and adequate for a high end product of its nature and in line with industry practices for the launch of equivalent products from comparable brands, including for example, those brands listed in Appendix 6.

7.3 The parties agree than in launch period, the geographical distribution of expenses above at Article 7.2 will be determined in cooperation with the Licensor depending on the strategy of positioning the Marks Granted on the markets being considered and that they will fix the value of it by reference to the normal practices of the market of selective perfumes.

7.4 The Licensee will consult the Licensor on any creative approach concerning any advertising material for the Products, including advertisements by means of posters, brochures, POS advertising, newspapers, magazines, radio and television.
