In return for the special compensation and benefits referenced in this Agreement, I, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, agree to the following:

EMPLOYEE’S INITIALS

programs (collectively the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims for relief of any kind, whether known to me or unknown, which in any way arise out of or relate to my employment at Fossil or any of the Released Parties, the separation of my employment at Fossil or any of the Released Parties, any agreements between Fossil or any of the Released Parties and me, and concerning events occurring at any time up to the date of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any and all claims of discrimination or retaliation of any kind, and any contractual, tort or other common law claims. This release, settlement and waiver includes all such claims, whether for breach of contract, quasi-contract, implied contract, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment, compensation, deferred compensation, equity interest, any tort claims, any and all claims under any applicable federal laws, including, but not limited to, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, the Equal Pay Act, as amended, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Family and Medical Leave Act, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, or under any applicable state or local laws or ordinances or any other legal restrictions on Fossil’s or the Released Parties’ rights, including, but not limited to, the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act and Section 451 of the Texas Labor Code.

I further agree not to file a suit of any kind against Fossil or any of the Released Parties relating to my employment at Fossil or any of the Released Parties, the separation thereof, any agreements between Fossil or any of the Released Parties and me, or to participate voluntarily in any employment-related claim brought by any other party against Fossil or any of the Released Parties. Even if a court rules that I may file a lawsuit against Fossil or any of the Released Parties arising from my employment at Fossil or any of the Released Parties, or the separation thereof, I agree not to accept any money damages or any other relief in connection with any such lawsuit. I understand that this Agreement effectively releases and waives any right I might have to xxx Fossil or any of the Released Parties for any claim arising out of my employment at Fossil or any of the Released Parties, any agreements between Fossil or any of the Released Parties and me, or the separation of my employment.

IV. Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Other Provisions

In return for the special compensation and benefits referenced in this Agreement, I, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, agree to the following:

A. While I understand that I have had such an obligation since I began my employment with Fossil or any of the Released Parties, I confirm that, during my employment, I will not divulge to any person, directly or indirectly, except Fossil or its officers and agents or as reasonably required in connection with my duties on behalf of Fossil, or use, except on behalf of Fossil, any Confidential Information (as defined below) acquired by me during my employment. I further agree that I will not, at any time after my employment has ended, use or divulge to any person, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information, or use any Confidential Information in subsequent employment of any nature. As used herein, “Confidential Information” shall mean the trade secrets, proprietary information and/or confidential information relating to Fossil’s business, its customers and its methods of doing business, regardless of the form or format of the information, and includes, but is not limited to, any and all information regarding Fossil’s prospective and current customers and suppliers, client lists, client contacts, client references, all inventions and related proprietary rights, computer hardware, computer programs and applications, operations, budgets, pricing structures, commission structures, financial statements, projections and other financial information of Fossil, billing and collection practices, personnel information, inventories and product selection, research, development, design documents, drawings, plans, specifications, processes, formulas, current and proposed products, merchandising techniques, marketing strategies, promotional plans, sales plans, proposed ventures or transactions and other business plans of Fossil.

If I am subpoenaed, or otherwise required by law to testify concerning Confidential Information, I agree to notify Fossil upon receipt of a subpoena, or upon belief that such testimony shall be required.

B. I agree that during my employment, and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the termination of my employment with Fossil (for whatever reason), that neither I nor any individual, partner(s), limited partnership, corporation or other entity or business with which I am in any way affiliated, including, without limitation, any partner, limited partner, director, officer, shareholder, employee, or agent of any such entity or business, will (i) request, solicit, induce or attempt to influence, directly or indirectly, any employee of Fossil to terminate their employment with Fossil, or (ii) employ or hire any person who as of the date of this Agreement was, or after such date is or was, an employee of Fossil. For purposes of this paragraph, “Fossil” shall include Fossil and Fossil, Inc. and their parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates existing now or during the said twenty-four month period.

EMPLOYEE’S INITIALS

Fossil would not provide me with the compensation, benefits and consideration set forth in Section II.

D. I agree that upon the termination of my employment with Fossil, I shall not remove or take with me, but will leave with Fossil or return to Fossil, all Confidential Information, work product, records, files, data, memoranda, reports, price lists, documents and other information, in whatever form (including on computer disk), and any copies thereof, relating to the Confidential Information, or if such items are not on the premises of Fossil, I agree to return such items immediately upon my termination or at any time upon the request of Fossil. I acknowledge and agree that all such items are and remain the property of Fossil.

E. I agree not to make any statements that disparage the reputation of Fossil or any of the Released Parties, their businesses or their products and/or services. I further agree not to take any action to interfere with or damage Fossil’s relationship with its suppliers, vendors, customers and/or clients. I agree that any breach or violation of this non-disparagement and non-interference provision shall entitle Fossil to terminate this Agreement, my employment, the benefits provided in Section II above and/or xxx me on this Agreement for the immediate recovery of any damages caused by such breach.

F. I understand and agree that my current medical and dental benefits will end on December 29, 2007. I understand and agree I will have the option to elect to continue my medical insurance coverage subsequent to December 29, 2007, at my expense, as provided by applicable law (COBRA).

G. I understand and agree my participation in the Life, Short Term and Long Term Disability Insurance Plans, if any, sponsored by Fossil will terminate on December 29, 2007.

H. I understand and agree that Fossil will not pay for any business-related or other charges incurred by me after December 29, 2007, unless such expenses are expressly approved in advance in writing by the Chief Executive Officer of Fossil.

I. I understand and agree this Agreement does not constitute an admission of any kind by Fossil and/or the Released Parties, but is simply an accommodation that offers certain extra benefits to which I would not otherwise be entitled in return for my agreeing to and signing this document.

J. I agree not to voluntarily make the terms and conditions or the circumstances surrounding this Agreement known to anyone other than my attorney and/or tax consultant from whom I receive counseling, my spouse, or except as otherwise required by law. I acknowledge that any such person must agree not to further disclose the terms of this Agreement.

K. The venue for the litigation of any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be a court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas. If either party files a lawsuit in state court arising out of this Agreement, the other party may remove the lawsuit to

EMPLOYEE’S INITIALS

federal court to the extent jurisdiction exists. Texas law shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement.

L. I understand and agree that the breach of any of the agreements contained herein, including, without limitation, the confidentiality covenants specified in Section IV(A) and/or the non-solicitation covenants in Section IV(B) will give rise to irreparable injury to Fossil, which will be inadequately compensable in damages. Accordingly, I understand and agree that Fossil shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or cure breaches or threatened breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specific performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which may be available. I understand and agree that the covenants contained herein are necessary for the protection of Fossil’s legitimate business interests and are reasonable in scope and content.

M. I understand and agree that if any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of Fossil and I under this Agreement would not be materially and adversely affected thereby, such provision shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible, and I hereby request the court to whom disputes relating to this Agreement are submitted to reform the otherwise unenforceable covenant in accordance with this Section IV(M).

N. I understand and agree this Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement signed by both parties. Any such written modification may only be signed on behalf of Fossil by the Chief Executive Officer of Fossil.

O. I am entering into this Agreement freely and voluntarily. I have carefully read and understand all of the provisions of this Agreement. I understand that it sets forth the entire agreement between Fossil and I. I represent that no other statements, promises, or commitments of any kind, written or oral, have been made to me by Fossil or the Released Parties, or any of their agents, to cause me to accept it. I acknowledge that I have been advised to consult legal counsel concerning this Agreement prior to signing the Agreement, and that I have had sufficient opportunity to do so. I understand that I may have up to twenty-one (21) days from the date this Agreement was presented to me to consider this Agreement. I understand that if I sign this Agreement, I will then have seven (7) days to cancel it if I so choose by delivering a written notice of cancellation to Fossil, 0000 X.
