NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree to the following: 1. Capitalized Terms and Amended Exhibit C. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement. All references to Exhibit C herein and in the Agreement shall hereinafter refer to the Amended Exhibit C, a copy of which is annexed hereto. 2. Amendment of Section 3 of the Agreement. Section 3 of the Agreement shall be amended to read as follows: "(a) Subject to the earlier expiration or termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9 or otherwise, this Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and expire as of the close of business on December 31, 2004 (the "Initial Term"), subject to renewal for successive three-year periods thereafter provided (i) Licensee has paid to Licensor all Royalties and Minimum Royalties (as hereinafter defined) payable for each Contract Year as set forth herein in Amended Exhibit C of this Agreement, (ii) Licensee has satisfied and/or complied with all of its obligations hereunder, and (iii) the parties mutually agree in writing as to the minimum royalties and gross sales projections for any such renewal term. Each successive renewal period shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Renewal Term." "Initial Term" and "Renewal Term" shall collectively be referred to as "Term." (b) Notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, in the event the requirements for renewal for successive three-year periods as set forth in Section 3(a) are not met, should Licensor receive an offer from a third party for a license to use the Trademark on the Goods in the Territory, then in such case Licensor shall in writing notify Licensee of the terms of such offer and Licensee shall have thirty (30) days to notify Licensor if it wishes to be granted by Licensor a license to use the Trademark on the Goods in the Territory upon such terms.
