This Termination and Release Agreement (this "Release") is entered into as of February 6, 2008, by and between Antik Denim LLC, a California limited liability company ("Licensor"), and North Star LLC, a limited liability company ("Licensee"). Licensor and Licensee are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “party,” and collectively, as the "parties."

RECITALS:

A.           Licensor and Licensee entered into that certain License Agreement dated as of October 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Licensor granted Licensee the right to, among other matters, develop, manufacture and distribute, throughout the world, knit and other products utilizing or otherwise based on Licensor’s “ANTIK DENIM” trademark (collectively, the “Property”).

B.           Licensor and Licensee entered into that certain Amendment No.1 to License Agreement dated as of April 25, 2007, pursuant to which Licensee terminated its right to exploit the Property under the Agreement in the territory comprising the European Union and other European countries.

C.           Licensor is prepared to terminate the Agreement based on, among other matters, specified material breaches of Licensee arising under the Agreement.

D.           Licensee and Licensor desire to mutually terminate the Agreement, release each other from any and all future performance under the Agreement, and to fully and finally settle any and all claims and/or disputes that may have arisen in the course of the prior performance of their obligations under the Agreement.

E.           All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms under the Agreement.

AGREEMENT:

In consideration of the facts recited above and the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.           Termination.

(a)           The Agreement is hereby terminated in all respects, effective immediately, and each of the parties acknowledge and agree that any and all rights and licenses granted to Licensee pursuant to the Agreement, including, without limitation, in and to the Property, shall hereby terminate and any and all such rights shall immediately, and without further action on the part of the parties, revert to Licensor.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Release, neither party will have any rights or further obligations to the other party under the Agreement.  Without limiting any portion of the foregoing, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that Licensee shall immediately, and without delay, cease any further manufacture, distribution or sale of any products, whether or not developed and/or manufactured by or for Licensee, based on or utilizing the Property (the “Licensee Products”)

1

(b)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(a) above, Licensee shall have the right to sell off any of its existing on hand inventory of Licensee Products, provided, and only to the extent previously approved in writing by Licensor, and to the extent Licensee abides by the following procedures:

i.           From the date hereof until the expiration of any mutually approved Sell-Off Period (as defined below), and within five (5) calendar days of any request delivered by Licensor, Licensee will permit Licensor, or a designated representative thereof, access to inspect all Licensee Products inventory in possession of, or controlled by, Licensee, including, without limitation, Licensed Products inventory located on Licensee’s premises or on any other premises where such products are kept or stored.

ii.           Within ten (10) calendar days of the completion of any inspection by Licensor, Licensor shall provide written notice detailing those particular Licensee Products, if any, thereby authorized by Licensor for sell-off by Licensee.  Such notice shall include the approved distribution channels for any such Licensee Products.  For the avoidance of doubt, failure to deliver written notice within such ten (10) calendar day period shall be deemed as though no sell off is approved by Licensor.

iii.           Following the execution hereof, the parties will negotiate in good faith as to a mutually acceptable sell off period for previously approved Licensee Products, which period shall be not less than sixty (60) calendar days from the date hereof (collectively, the “Sell-Off Period”).  In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon a mutually agreeable Sell-Off Period, then the Sell-Off Period shall be deemed to expire on the date that is sixty (60) calendar days from the date hereof.  Upon expiration of the Sell-Off Period, Licensee shall cause all distribution rights and licenses granted by Licensee to third parties with regard to the Licensee Products to terminate.

(c)           For purposes of clarity, (A) no Licensee Products may be sold during the Sell-Off Period unless such products (and the distribution channels thereof) have been previously approved in writing by Licensor; and (B) during the Sell-Off Period, Licensor may use or license the use of the Property in any manner, at any time, anywhere in the world.

2.           General Release.  In consideration of the promises, agreements and obligations set forth in this Release, each of the parties hereby releases the other and its agents, employees, representatives, officers, directors, parent and subsidiary corporations, shareholders, attorneys, successors, assigns and affiliated persons and companies, from any and all claims, suits, damages, losses and causes of action, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of the Agreement or its termination, except in all cases for any and all obligations arising under this Release.

3.           Effect of Release.  The parties covenant and agree never to commence, prosecute, or cause to be commenced against one another any action or proceeding based upon any of the matters released by this Release, except in the event of a breach of this Release.  The parties further agree that this Release shall be deemed in breach and a cause of action shall accrue to the other party thereon immediately upon the commencement of any such action or the performance of any act contrary to this paragraph.  In the event that an action is brought, this Release may be pleaded as a defense or it may be asserted by way of cross-complaint, counterclaim, or cross-claim in any such action, or may be used, as necessary to establish its terms.

2

4.           Consideration.  In consideration of Licensee’s entering this Release, and as additional consideration for the prior amendment of the Agreement, Licensor agrees to pay Licensee an amount equal to Eighty Thousand Dollars (US $80,000) within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of this Release, which amount shall be payable to Licensee or a designee thereof, as may be identified by Licensee in writing following the date of this Release and prior to any payment made by Licensor.
