B. Seller has filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11, United States Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq.

C. Seller desires to sell, and Buyer desires to buy, certain assets belonging to the Business, and to assume certain specified liabilities of Seller, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective covenants herein contained, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.	Sale and Purchase of Assets

(a) Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller will sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer (or upon Buyer’s request, to Buyer’s Designee) at the Closing, and Buyer (or Buyer’s Designee) will purchase and accept at the Closing, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all and the following assets (collectively, the “Assets”):

(i) all LONDON FOG and TOWER DESIGN Trademarks owned by the Seller worldwide, including without limitation the registrations and applications for registration identified on the attached Exhibit A-1, and all other Intellectual Property Rights closely associated therewith (the “Brands”);

(ii) the licenses and other agreements listed on Exhibit A-2 (the “Assumed Agreements”);

(iii) all third party warranties and claims, credits, rights of recovery and setoffs and all of Seller’s claims, causes of action and other legal rights and remedies, whether or not known as of the Closing Date, related to the foregoing;

(iv) all samples, sample books, prototypes, patterns, archive files (including any expired license agreements), marketing materials, web site content, graphics, and other tangible or electronic materials embodying, displaying, incorporating, or otherwise relating to the Brands, and all Intellectual Property Rights associated therewith;

(v) all royalties and license fees earned after the Closing Date;

(vi) the order book relating to the foregoing; and

(vii) Seller’s goodwill associated with the foregoing.

In addition to the Assets, at Closing Seller shall also sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from Seller, free and clear of any encumbrances, ‘‘all of Seller’s right, title and interest, if any, in the Trademarks identified on the attached Exhibit A-3, along with Seller’s bookings associated with the marks identified on Exhibit A-3, and all samples, sample books, prototypes, patterns, archive files (including any expired license agreements), marketing materials, web site content, graphics and other tangible or electronic materials embodying, displaying, or incorporating the Trademarks identified on Exhibit A-3, and all Intellectual Property Rights closely associated therewith (collectively, the “Additional Assets”). The Additional Assets shall be transferred AS IS, WHERE IS, without any representation or warranty whatsoever.

To the extent that Seller discovers any additional samples, prototypes, patterns, archive files (including any expired license agreements), marketing materials, web site content, graphics, or other tangible or electronic materials embodying, displaying, or incorporating the Brands or the Trademarks identified on Exhibit A-3 following the Closing, which have not been delivered to Buyer in accordance with this Section 1(a), Seller shall promptly deliver possession thereof to Buyer no later than ten (10) days after discovery.

Buyer shall have the right (which right must be exercised prior to the Sale Approval Hearing) to designate a period after the Closing Date, but no longer than October 16, 2006, through which it shall have complete access to the Seller’s facility on Seventh Avenue in New York City (the “Seventh Avenue Site”), in connection with the operation and marketing of the business relating to the Assets and Additional Assets, and Seller shall continue the utilities and other services related thereto for such periods. On or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to designate furniture, fixtures, and equipment at the Seventh Avenue Site (including but not limited to phones, computers, and copiers) that it will use, and the Seller shall be obligated to keep such furniture, fixtures, and equipment available to Buyer so long as it is so designated. Buyer shall also have the right (which right must be exercised no later than one day prior to the Closing Date) to designate any employees that it needs the Seller to make available to Buyer for the operation or marketing of its business related to the Assets and Additional Assets. Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for the actual out of pocket costs and expenses associated with such designations, including (i) wages or salary and other employer expenses of each employee so designated (if any) for the time each is so designated (at the level each such employee was receiving from the Seller in the Ordinary Course of Business), (ii) the cost of any designated equipment, including without limitation lease payments and maintenance agreements, while it is so designated that is actually paid to a third party by Seller (pro rated, if necessary, to reflect the days of use by Buyer), and (iii) rent, CAM, utilities, and any other occupancy costs at the Seventh Avenue Site for all periods designated by the Buyer pursuant hereto on a per diem basis, in the amount of $1,666,67 per day. If Buyer so designates any of the above, Buyer shall give Seller seven business days written notice of the termination of use of any of the Seventh Avenue Site, the designated employees, or the designated furniture, fixtures, and equipment and shall no longer be responsible for the actual out of pocket expenses for such designations (as set forth above) arising after such termination.

Through and including September 15, 2006, Buyer shall also have the exclusive right (the “Property Option”) to purchase from the Debtors any and all personal, tangible, property of the Debtors, and any and all furniture, fixtures, and equipment located at the Seventh Avenue Site. The purchase price for such property will be reasonably determined by the parties at the time of such purchase, if any. Such right shall be exercised by written notice given no later than September 15, 2006 and shall designate a purchase date no later than October 12, 2006. Seller agrees that it will not remove or dispose of any such property between the date hereof and the expiration of this Property Option, except in the ordinary course of Seller’s business. Finally, through and including September 15, 2006, in addition to those Assumed Agreements identified in Subsection 1(a)(ii) above and on Schedule A-2 hereto, Buyer shall have the right (the “Lease Right”) to direct Seller to use its best efforts to assume and assign to Buyer the lease for the Seventh Avenue Site (the “Seventh Avenue Lease”). Upon the exercise of such Lease Right, the Seventh Avenue Lease will be deemed an Assumed Agreement at no additional or further cost to the Buyer; provided that Buyer shall be responsible for any required cure payments.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and consummation by Seller of its obligations hereunder and under the other transaction documents to which it is or at Closing will be a party will not (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the charter documents or bylaws of either Seller or any resolution adopted by the board of directors or the shareholders of either Seller; (ii) result in a default by Seller or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration against Seller under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, agreement, commitment, lease, or other instrument or obligation to which either Seller is a party or by which either Seller or any of the Assets may be bound, except for such defaults or rights of termination, cancellation or acceleration against Seller as to which requisite waivers or consents in form and substance acceptable to Buyer have been obtained or will be obtained on or prior to the Closing Date and of which copies thereof have been or will be furnished to Buyer prior to the Closing; (iii) violate any Law or Order applicable to Seller or the Assets; or (iv) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the Assets.

Except for suits, actions, oppositions, cancellations or proceedings that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) no Brand in the U.S. or Canada has been or is now involved in any opposition, invalidation, cancellation or other proceeding that challenges the legality, validity, registration, ownership or use of such Brand, and (b) no such action or proceeding is or has been threatened with respect to any of the Brands in the U.S. or Canada.
