      (a) Subject to the terms and conditions (including, without limitation,
Section 2.4) of, and Licensee's proper performance of its obligations under,
this Agreement, Licensor grants to Licensee a non-transferable (except as
provided in Section 10.3), exclusive license (with the license granted in

advertise, promote and market the Licensed Products in any medium in the

specifically permitted under Section 2.2(b) below, the right to use the Licensed
Marks during the Term in connection with the manufacture, sale and distribution
of the Licensed Products within the Permitted Channels of Trade in the Licensed
Territory, and advertising, marketing and promotion incidental thereto.

      (b) Subject to the terms and conditions (including, without limitation,
Section 2.4) of, and Licensee's proper performance of its obligations under,
this Agreement, Licensor grants to Licensee a non-transferable (except as
provided in Section 10.3), exclusive license (which license also is included in
the term "License") to (i) advertise, promote and market Licensed Products
bearing the dELiA*s Artwork during the Term in any medium in the Licensed
Territory; and (ii) to sublicense to Permitted Sublicensees, only as
specifically permitted under Section 2.2(b) below, the right to manufacture,
sell and distribute Licensed Products bearing the dELiA*s Artwork during the
Term within the Permitted Channels



of Trade in the Licensed Territory, and to reproduce and distribute advertising,
marketing and promotional materials that include the dELiA*s Artwork incidental
to the manufacture, sale and distribution of Licensed Products as permitted
hereunder.

2.2.  RESTRICTIONS; SUBLICENSING.

      (a) Licensee agrees that it will use the Licensed Marks only within the
scope of the License, and that all other uses are prohibited, including, without
limitation, any use of any of the Licensed Marks or any similar name or mark in
connection with the manufacture, advertisement, promotion, sublicensing,
marketing, sale or distribution of any products or services other than the
Licensed Products. Licensee will not use any trade name, corporate or business
name identical with or confusingly similar to any of the Licensed Marks and/or
Licensor's name.

      (b) A copy of an approved form of sublicense agreement is attached as
EXHIBIT B ("Pre-Approved Form"). Licensor and Licensee acknowledge and agree
that, by attaching and approving the Pre-Approved Form, the parties intend
merely to specify what is permitted in such form and not to alter, amend,
modify, waive, expand, limit or terminate any rights or obligations provided for
herein, including, without limitation, the right of the Licensee to negotiate
actual sublicenses that vary from the Pre-Approved Form to the extent permitted
hereby. The Pre-Approved Form will contain terms that are at least as protective
of Licensor's quality control rights, property rights and other rights as those
contained in Articles 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement. The Pre-Approved Form must
require each Permitted Sublicensee to indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably
approved by Licensor) and hold harmless Licensor and its officers, directors,
stockholders, Affiliates, agents, employees and other representatives against
all damages, claims, liabilities, losses and other expenses, including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, whether or not a lawsuit or
other proceeding is filed, that arise out of or relate to (i) such Permitted
Sublicensee's use of any of the Licensed Marks in a manner not permitted by this
Agreement, (ii) alleged defects or other problems with any of the Licensed
Products manufactured, marketed, sold or distributed by such Permitted
Sublicensee and/or (iii) such Permitted Sublicensee's promotion, marketing,
advertising or other use of any of the Licensed Marks or Licensed Products that
has not been approved by Licensor in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The Pre-Approved Form will provide that revenues from closeouts by
any Permitted Sublicensee will not exceed, without Licensor's prior written
consent, (x) 15% of revenues generated by sales of watches, (y) 25% of revenues
generated by sales of sunglasses and (z) 10% of revenues generated by sales of
all other goods (by product category), in each case on an annual basis by each
of the Permitted Sublicensees according to their respective sublicense
agreements. The absence of any provision required under this Section 2.2(b) will
be deemed a material breach. The definition of "Earned Royalty" in a sublicense
may not vary in any respect from the Pre-Approved Form without the prior written
consent of Licensor. Any variation in such definition relating to or providing
for the inclusion of advances, guaranteed minimum payments or such amounts not
calculated as a percentage of actual Net Sales that is made without the prior
written consent of Licensor will constitute a material breach of this Agreement,
it being expressly understood that the filling in of blanks shall not constitute
such a variation hereunder.

      (c) Licensee will use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
each sublicense agreement provides that (i) the price to be paid by dELiA*s
Corp. or any of its Affiliates to the sublicensee for any Licensed Product will
be no greater than the lowest price paid by any Approved Customer for such
Licensed Product (in the same run or program) less any royalty paid under the
sublicense in respect thereof and that sublicensee will use commercially
reasonable efforts so that dELiA*s Corp. and its Affiliates will otherwise
receive "most-favored nations" treatment (in the same run or program) and (ii)
if a sublicensee also manufactures products for dELiA*s Corp. or any of its
Affiliates, it must use commercially reasonable efforts to give dELiA*s Corp. or
such Affiliate priority over Approved Customers with respect to manufacturing
and shipping products.



      (d) Licensee will require each Permitted Sublicensee to direct all
advances, guarantee payments, income, monies, property and any other
consideration that is required to be paid to Licensee under any sublicense of
the Licensed Marks directly to the Licensee, and not to any Affiliate of the
Licensee or any other third party. Licensee will not permit any Permitted
Sublicensee to take or make any deductions or set-offs of any kind from any
payments required to be made under the applicable sublicense unless expressly
permitted under the terms of such sublicense.

      (e) A list of sublicensees approved by Licensor is set forth on SCHEDULE D
(such sublicensees, together with all other sublicensees approved by Licensor
hereunder, are referred to individually as a "Permitted Sublicensee" and
collectively as "Permitted Sublicensees"). Licensee will have the right to grant
sublicenses or other rights to use the Licensed Marks to any sublicensee listed
on SCHEDULE D provided such grant is made pursuant to the Pre-Approved Form in
all material respects. With respect to any other party, or with respect to a
proposed sublicense agreement that is not in all material respects the same as
the Pre-Approved Form, Licensee must obtain Licensor's prior written approval,
which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Unless Licensor either
approves or rejects a proposed sublicensee within twenty (20) days of its
submittal by Licensee, such proposed sublicensee will be deemed approved. Unless
Licensor either approves or rejects a proposed sublicense agreement within
twenty (20) days of its submittal by Licensee, such proposed sublicense
agreement will be deemed approved. Licensor may consider any or all of the
following factors in determining whether or not to approve a particular
sublicensee not already listed on SCHEDULE D: (i) quality of the goods sold by
the sublicensee, (ii) the creditworthiness of the sublicensee, (iii) the
sublicensee's capacity to manufacture, sell and distribute the Licensed Products
and (iv) the sublicensee's ability to restrict sales of the Licensed Products to
Approved Customers. The foregoing is not an exhaustive list of the factors to be
considered by Licensor, provided, that Licensor may not unreasonably withhold
its approval of a sublicensee if such sublicensee meets or exceeds all the
criteria met or exceeded by the Permitted Sublicensees listed on SCHEDULE D.
Licensor may consider any or all of the terms and conditions of the Pre-Approved
Form in determining whether or not to approve a particular sublicense agreement.
Any rejection of either a proposed sublicensee or sublicense agreement will set
forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such rejection. Licensee will
identify and solicit potential Permitted Sublicensees in addition to those on
SCHEDULE D, negotiate sublicenses, and manage the terms and conditions of the
sublicense, including the marketing and advertising of the Permitted
Sublicensees.

      (f) Licensee will provide to Licensor copies of all sublicense and other
agreements between Licensee and any Permitted Sublicensee relating to Licensed
Products and, upon Licensor's specific written request, Licensee will provide in
a reasonable period of time not to exceed 30 days copies of all information
provided to Licensee by such Permitted Sublicensees relating to any Licensed
Product or any such agreement.

      (g) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement,
Licensee will have the right to enter into agreements directly with Approved
Customers ("Customer Agreements"), in a form to be mutually and reasonably
agreed by Licensor and Licensee within a reasonable time period after the date
hereof and thereupon attached as (the "Pre-Approved Customer Agreement"), giving
such Approved Customer the limited right to use the Licensed Marks in connection
with the manufacture and sale of specifically designated Licensed Products
solely for retail sale in such Approved Customer's stores; provided, that the
revenues generated in any product category pursuant to any particular Customer
Agreement will not annually exceed 10% of the Approved Customer's revenues
generated by its other sales of Licensed Products in that product category.
Before entering into any Customer Agreement that is not in all material respects
the same as the Pre-Approved Customer Agreement, Licensee must first obtain the
express written consent of Licensor as to the form of the Customer Agreement.
Unless Licensor either approves or rejects a proposed Customer Agreement within
20 days of its submittal by Licensee, such proposed Customer Agreement will be
deemed approved. Licensor may consider any or all of the terms and conditions of
the Pre-Approved Customer Agreement in determining whether or not to approve a
particular Customer Agreement. Any rejection of a proposed Customer Agreement
will set



forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such rejection. The Customer
Agreement will contain all of the terms required by Section 2.2(b) (except that
the Approved Customers, rather than the Permitted Sublicensees, will be bound
thereby), and the absence of any provision required under Section 2.2(b) will be
deemed a material breach.

      (h) Licensee will not use any other logo, design or other artwork in
conjunction with the Licensed Marks on any Licensed Products without Licensor's
prior approval. A sample listing of approved logos and designs is set forth on
SCHEDULE E.

2.3   EFFORTS. During the Term, Licensee will use best efforts to use the
Licensed Marks in a professional manner in order to preserve and enhance
Licensor's goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks, and will use
commercially reasonable efforts to maximize Sublicense Income.

2.4   RESERVED RIGHTS; NO OTHER RIGHTS.

      (a) Licensee expressly acknowledges that Licensor is entering into a
license agreement (the "dELiA*s License") with dELiA*s Corp. and various of its
Affiliates (the "dELiA*s Licensees") that permits them to use the Licensed Marks
in the conduct of their respective businesses (being their own retail stores, as
well as Internet web sites, catalogs, Affiliate Programs and other direct
marketing opportunities), and that the activities of Licensor and the dELiA*s
Licensees in accordance with the terms and conditions of that license are not in
any way violative of the License; PROVIDED, that in no event may Licensor or any
dELiA*s Licensee sell any Licensed Product in any wholesale or retail store
transaction in the Licensed Territory other than sales in owned stores or
close-outs; PROVIDED, that revenues with respect to any third-party closeouts
will not exceed, without Licensee's prior written consent, (x) 15% of revenues
generated by sales of watches, (y) 25% of revenues generated by sales of
sunglasses and (z) 10% of revenues generated by sales of all other goods (by
product category), in each case on an annual basis. Licensor is providing to
Licensee an executed copy of that license on the date hereof. If any dELiA*s
Licensee violates that license agreement, Licensee may notify Licensor in
writing, stating in reasonable detail the basis for Licensee's claim. Licensor
has 30 days from its receipt of such notice to investigate and respond to
Licensee's claims. If Licensee is not satisfied with Licensor's response to its
claims, Licensee may notify Licensor in writing that Licensee wishes to enforce
the provisions of the license agreement, in which case, if the alleged breaches
by the dELiA*s Licensee are not cured to Licensee's reasonable satisfaction
within 30 days following delivery of such written notice to Licensor, Licensee
may proceed with a claim for damages directly against the dELiA*s Licensee;
PROVIDED, that in no event will Licensee's remedy include termination of such
license agreement.

      (b) The License is to be strictly construed, and all rights not
specifically granted to Licensee in this Agreement are reserved and remain with
Licensor.

      (c) By way of example and not limitation, Licensor retains all rights to
exploit the Licensed Marks for products and services other than the Licensed
Products, such as motion pictures, television, video or cable programs,
electronics, games, computer software, cars, books or toys.

      d) Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that Wells Fargo Retail
Finance LLC ("WFRF") has, and not withstanding the License granted hereunder,
will continue to have a royalty-free, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to use,
apply and affix any Licensed Marks, such license being solely with respect to
WFRF's exercise of its rights under a Loan and Security Agreement between WFRF
and dELiA*s Corp. dated September 24, 2001, including, without limitation, in
connection with any completion of manufacture of Inventory (as such term is
defined in such Loan and Security Agreement) or sale or other disposition of
Inventory in accordance with the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement (the
"WFRF License"). Furthermore, the Licensee acknowledges and agrees that other
commercial or institutional lenders providing working capital to dELiA*s Corp.
may be granted a similar license with



respect to each such lender's exercise of its rights under a security agreement
in connection with the completion of manufacture of, or sale or other
disposition of, inventory.

2.5   NEW TRADEMARK REGISTRATIONS.

      (a) If Licensee believes that it would be beneficial for Licensor to
obtain a new trademark registration (I.E., a registration for a trademark not
listed on SCHEDULE A) covering any Licensed Product in any territory in which
Licensor already has obtained trademark registrations for Licensed Marks,
Licensee will notify Licensor of Licensee's desire to obtain such new
registration and seek Licensor's approval for same. Licensor will then undertake
to determine whether the new registration will be sought for such Licensed
Product(s), which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned and
will so inform Licensee within 30 days of receipt of Licensee's notification. If
Licensor fails to notify Licensee within said 30 days, it will be deemed
approved. If consent is denied, Licensor will set forth the reasons for such
denial. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may permit Permitted
Sublicensees to manufacture and sell (and Licensee may advertise, market and
promote) Licensed Products bearing unregistered trademarks (subject to Section
8.1(a)). Licensor will make such trademark filings in connection with the
proposed trademark registration as Licensor, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate. Licensee will fully cooperate with Licensor as Licensor may request
in furtherance of any related trademark application, prosecution, or
registration. If Licensor notifies Licensee in Licensor's notice of consent to
such registration that Licensor declines to file, maintain, or renew such new
application or registration (which notice must be given by Licensor to Licensee
within 30 days of Licensee's notice), or Licensor's approval is deemed given in
accordance with this Section 2.5(a), Licensee will be entitled to file,
maintain, and/or renew such applications or registrations, at Licensee's
expense, in the name of and on behalf of Licensor provided such filing is: (1)
limited to the new trademark registration as approved by Licensor; (2) is made
with prior written notice to Licensor in each instance (and in any event within
60 days following Licensor's notice that it declines to proceed as provided
above); and (3) Licensor is informed of such applications and any resulting
registrations and, upon its request, is provided copies of the documents filed
by any person in connection therewith. Other than as expressly provided for in
this Section, Licensee agrees that it will not directly or indirectly make
application for or aid others to seek trademark registrations in any state,
country, or territory of any mark or design that includes any of the Licensed
Marks. All registrations, goodwill, and uses by Licensee of or for any Licensed
Mark in any connection with any new trademark registration will inure to the
exclusive benefit of Licensor.

      (b) Before entering any territory in which Licensor has not yet obtained a
trademark registration for the Licensed Marks ("New Territory"), Licensee will
notify Licensor of Licensee's intention to enter into the New Territory in
sufficient time for Licensor to make any and all necessary or appropriate
filings for trademark or other protection in the New Territory. Licensor will
make such filings as Licensor, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
Licensee will fully cooperate with Licensor as Licensor may request in
furtherance of Licensor's application, prosecution, or registration of any such
filings. If Licensor notifies Licensee that Licensor declines to file, maintain,
or renew an application or registration in any New Territory (which notice must
be given by Licensor to Licensee within 30 days of Licensee's notice), Licensee
will be entitled to file, maintain, and/or renew such applications or
registrations, at Licensee's expense, in the name of and on behalf of Licensor
provided such filing is (1) limited to the Licensed Products, (2) is made with
prior written notice to Licensor in each instance (and in any event within 60
days following Licensor's notice that it declines to proceed as provided above),
and (3) Licensor is informed of such applications and any resulting
registrations and, upon its request, is provided copies of the documents filed
by any person in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event such trademark in the New Territory is used in connection with the dELiA*s
Business, the cost for such registration will be borne by Licensor or reimbursed
to Licensee, as the case may be. Other than as expressly provided for in this
Section, Licensee agrees that it will not directly or indirectly make
application for or aid others to seek trademark registrations in any state,
country, or territory of any mark or design that includes any of the Licensed
Marks. All registrations, goodwill, and



uses by Licensee of or for any of the Licensed Marks in any New Territory will
inure to the exclusive benefit of Licensor.

      (c) If Licensor obtains any new trademark registration covering Licensed
Products in any Licensed Territory, such new registration will be deemed part of
the Licensed Marks for all purposes hereof.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                             FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS

3.1   ADVANCE. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement,
in consideration for the License, Licensee will pay to Licensor the Advance on
the date hereof.


3.2   PAYMENT AND RECOUPMENT OF THE ADVANCE; PREFERRED RETURN.

      (a) Licensee will pay to Licensor the Advance and make all Royalty
payments to Licensor (all such payments required to be made to Licensor
hereunder are collectively referred to as the "License Payments") via wire
transfer to Licensor's designated financial institution or via check, at
Licensor's election.

      (b) Provided the Licensed Marks have been validly transferred to Licensor,
the Advance will be recoupable by Licensee solely by Licensee's retention of its
share of Royalties in accordance with Section 3.3 below and not by any recourse
against Licensor, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective properties or
assets.

      (c) During the period that any portion of the Advance remains unrecouped,
there will accrue on the portion of the Advance that remains unrecouped an
amount at the rate of 18% per annum, which will be calculated on a quarterly
basis (such amount as so accrued, the "Preferred Return").

      (d) Licensee will clearly demonstrate in its quarterly Royalty Statements
due to Licensor under Section 3.4 below its calculation of the recoupment of the
Advance and the payment of the Preferred Return. Licensee understands and agrees
that there are no guarantees or promises from Licensor or anyone else that the
Advance paid will be able to be fully recouped or that Licensee will receive any
Preferred Return.

3.3   ROYALTY.  Royalties will be paid to Licensor and retained by Licensee,
as the case may be, in the following manner:

      (a) First, 100% of all Adjusted Sublicense Income will be retained by
Licensee, until such time as Licensee has recouped the entire amount of the
Advance;

      (b) Then, 100% of all Adjusted Sublicense Income will be retained by
Licensee, until such time as Licensee has received one-third of the Preferred
Return;

      (c) Then, all Adjusted Sublicense Income will be retained 80% by Licensee
and paid 20% to Licensor, PARI PASSU, until such time as Licensee has received
an additional one-third of the Preferred Return;

      (d) Then, all Adjusted Sublicense Income will be retained 60% by Licensee
and paid 40% to Licensor, PARI PASSU, until such time as Licensee has received
the final one-third of the Preferred Return; and



      (e) Thereafter, all Adjusted Sublicense Income will be retained 40% by
Licensee and paid 60% to Licensor, PARI PASSU.

Licensee will pay to Licensor all Royalties due Licensor with respect to
Adjusted Sublicense Income for a particular calendar quarter on or before the
45th day after the end of such calendar quarter; provided, however, that
Adjusted Sublicense Income received on or in connection with the signing of any
sublicense agreement shall immediately upon receipt by Licensee be applied to
the recoupment of the Advance and the calculation of the Preferred Return (and,
where applicable, be retained by Licensee and paid to Licensor), all in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.3.

3.4   ROYALTY STATEMENTS.

      (a) Licensee will provide Licensor with a statement, certified by
Licensee's chief financial officer (or principal accounting officer), on or
before the 45th day following each calendar quarter during the Term and on or
before the 45th day following the effective date of any termination or
expiration of this Agreement, which sets forth a detailed calculation of (a) all
Marketing Funds, Sublicense Income and Adjusted Sublicense Income for the
immediately preceding calendar quarter, (b) the recoupment of the Advance and
the payment of the Preferred Return and (c) the Royalty due Licensor (the
"Royalty Statement"). Licensee will also submit to Licensor with each Royalty
Statement a detailed report listing all sales of the Licensed Products during
the immediately preceding calendar quarter. Such reports will contain the
following information: breakdown of sales by account/customer as well as by the
individual stock keeping unit (SKU) shipped, and a statement as to the
calculation of the payments made, regardless of whether any payments are due,
and any permitted deductions taken by a Permitted Sublicensee.

      (b) Licensor's receipt or acceptance of any Royalty Statement or other
information furnished pursuant to this Agreement and/or of any Royalty paid
hereunder will not preclude Licensor from questioning the accuracy thereof for 7
years after receipt thereof. In the event that any inconsistency or mistake is
discovered in any Royalty Statements, reports or Royalties, it will be
immediately rectified and the appropriate corrected statement, report and/or
Royalty payment will be made by Licensee to Licensor.

3.5   PAYMENTS; OFFSETS/DEDUCTIONS; INTEREST. All payments to Licensor hereunder
will be in United States currency. If Licensee is prohibited or restricted from
making payment of any monies at the time when same are due and payable to
Licensor hereunder by reason of the laws or currency regulations within the
Licensed Territory, Licensee will promptly so advise Licensor in writing with
written opinion of counsel satisfactory to Licensor. Licensee will, upon
Licensor's request, deposit any such blocked funds to the credit of Licensor in
a bank or banks or other depository in the Licensed Territory designated in
writing by Licensor, or pay them promptly to such persons or entities as
Licensor may designate in writing. Licensee will not be entitled to take or make
deductions or set-offs of any kind from any payments required to be made under
this Agreement for any reason not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Any
Royalties or other sums received by Licensee but not paid to Licensor when due
in accordance with this Agreement will bear interest compounded monthly at the
rate of 10% per annum from the original due date to the date of payment.
Licensee will use best efforts to collect all Sublicense Income in a timely
manner. In the event Licensee is unable to collect any such sums ("Unpaid
Sublicense Income"), provided it has used best efforts to collect same, Licensee
will only be required to pay to Licensor Licensor's portion of the Unpaid
Sublicense Income if and when Licensee collects such sums. Any Unpaid Sublicense
Income that is thereafter collected will be distributed to Licensee and Licensor
as provided above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there remains any
Unpaid Sublicense Income, (i) Licensor may require Licensee to, and Licensee
will, avail itself of all remedies it may have under the appropriate sublicense
agreement, including, without limitation, termination of such sublicense
agreement and (ii) Licensee consents to allow Licensor to pursue any available
remedies it may have against such sublicensee.



3.6   BOOKS AND RECORDS. Licensee agrees that it will keep, and will require its
Permitted Sublicensees to keep as applicable, correct and complete books and
records regarding the sales, promotion and distribution of the Licensed
Products, Sublicense Income, Adjusted Sublicense Income and use of the Licensed
Marks for a period of seven (7) years after such information is generated. Such
books and records will be in sufficient detail to establish complete compliance
by Licensee with all the provisions of this Agreement. Licensor and its
authorized representatives (provided such representatives are not paid on a
percentage of recovery basis) will have the right to inspect, copy and audit at
reasonable times (but not more than once during any calendar year), and upon
reasonable advance notice to Licensee, both during and after the Term, such
books and records and other documents. Licensor agrees that the information
contained in Licensee's books and records is Licensee's Confidential Information
and will protect it in the same manner that Licensor protects its own
Confidential Information. Any inspection or audit will be paid for by Licensor.
If the inspection or audit shows that Licensee has underpaid Royalties for any
given period, then Licensee will pay to Licensor, within 15 days after receipt
of the audit report, the deficiency in the Royalty payment, plus interest
thereon at the rate of 10% per annum compounded monthly from the original due
date to the date of payment, plus if such underpayment is 4% or more of the
total Royalties for such period, the actual cost of such inspection or audit,
including without limitation Licensor's reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable
accountant's fees and other reasonable costs. Licensee will ensure that any
sublicense agreement contains inspection and audit rights of Licensor that are
identical to those provided in this Section 3.6 and Licensee will cause its
Permitted Sublicensees to comply with the foregoing.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                                 QUALITY CONTROL

4.1.  SPECIFICATIONS. Both parties understand and agree that it is necessary for
Licensor to maintain reasonable control over the use of the Licensed Marks by
Licensee to avoid abandonment of the Licensed Marks and to maintain and enhance
the goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks. The parties agree that the
Licensed Products must meet or exceed Licensor's high quality standards,
including the product quality standards currently in place for products bearing
the Licensed Marks (it being understood that while Licensor may permit goods of
higher quality to be produced hereafter by Licensor's Affiliates, Licensor will
not require such higher standard to be imposed on Licensee hereunder), and that
the style, appearance and quality of the Licensed Products will be consistent
with such standards. Licensee will retain Group 3 Design Corp. as its exclusive
Brand Manager and licensing agent under the Brand Management Agreement to set
direction of overall product design for all Licensed Products in consultation
with Licensor, and Licensor will provide at the Brand Manager's reasonable
request during normal business hours the internal design patterns, colors and
coordination information that Licensor has for each season throughout the Term.
The parties agree and acknowledge that the execution of the Brand Management
Agreement by Licensee and the Brand Manager is a condition precedent to the
effectiveness of this Agreement, and that Licensee may not terminate such Brand
Management Agreement or replace Group 3 Design Corp. as its Brand Manager
without Licensor's prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

4.2.  APPROVAL OF LICENSED PRODUCT SAMPLES.

      (a) Licensee will require the Brand Manager to present for Licensor's
approval a "seasonal directional overview" for each season at a mutually
agreeable time reasonably in advance of such season. Licensor will provide its
approval or reasons for rejection of such seasonal directional overview within
10 days of such presentation by the Brand Manager. Unless Licensor either
approves or rejects such seasonal directional overview within such 10-day
period, such seasonal directional overview will be deemed approved.



      (b) Following the seasonal directional overview, Licensee will require the
Brand Manager to present for Licensor's approval the "sublicense product line
review" for the season. Licensor will provide its approval or reasons for
rejection of such product line review within five Business Days of such
presentation by the Brand Manager; provided, that any rejection by the Licensor
of the sublicense product line review must not conflict with the bases for
approval by Licensor of the seasonal directional overview. Unless Licensor
either approves or rejects such product line review within such five Business
Day period, such product line review will be deemed approved.

      (c) In each case after a Licensed Product is manufactured, Licensee will
require the Brand Manager or Permitted Sublicensee to submit one production
sample for each Licensed Product. Such samples will be deemed accepted unless
Licensor provides a written notice to Licensee of a basis for rejection that
demonstrates how the production samples materially deviate from the sublicense
product line review and/or seasonal directional overview within 5 Business Days
after Licensee's receipt of such sample. Licensee will determine in good faith
whether such basis for rejection is valid and use all commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Permitted Sublicensee or Brand Manager to correct the
problem.

      (d) The parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in Section
10.19(b) if the parties cannot reach an agreement in good faith regarding any
provision of Section 4.2, provided that the sole question to be decided by the
arbitrator in connection with this Section 4.2 will be whether, based on
industry practice, the failure by Licensor to provide its approval in connection
with Section 4.2(a), (b) or (c) was reasonable, taking into account industry
standards, current trends and the image of the Licensed Marks.

4.3.  INSPECTION. Licensee agrees to cause its Permitted Sublicensees to allow
Licensor and Licensor's authorized representatives at reasonable times, upon
reasonable advance notice and no less than once a year to enter the premises of
such Permitted Sublicensees, or any premises where Licensed Products are
manufactured and/or stored, to inspect the materials used to produce the
Licensed Products and the completed Licensed Products themselves and such
Permitted Sublicensees' use of the Licensed Marks in connection therewith.

4.4.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

      (a) Licensee represents that Licensee will require the Licensed Products
to be manufactured, marketed, sold and distributed in accordance with all
applicable laws, regulations and safety codes worldwide and in compliance with
any regulatory or governmental agency that has jurisdiction over such matters.
Licensee will require each Permitted Sublicensee to represent and warrant that
the proper use of the Licensed Products will not cause any harm or injury to any
person or property. Licensee additionally represents and warrants and covenants,
and will require each Permitted Sublicensee to represent and warrant and
covenant, that it does not and will not engage in any activity that would
violate any applicable labor law, rule, regulation or practice, or engage in any
form of discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation
or national origin, and Licensee will require in its agreements with its
Permitted Sublicensees and any permitted subcontractors that such persons
comply, and Licensee will cause its officers, employees and agents to comply,
with applicable labor laws, rules, regulations and practices, and not to engage
in any form of discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, national origin or other prohibited basis.

      (b) Licensee represents and warrants that its performance under this
Agreement will not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation. Licensee
represents and warrants that it has not violated and will not violate the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Licensee will not by act or omission breach any
agreement to which it is a party relating to the Licensed Products. Licensee
agrees that it will not sublicense to any individual or entity that is in
violation of any applicable laws. Licensee will provide Licensor with copies of
all government filings relating to the Licensed Marks or the Licensed Products



before Licensee makes any such filings. Licensor will have the right to instruct
Licensee to modify the content of such filings; provided, that, Licensor will
comply with governing laws in all respects and will not impede Licensee from
complying with such laws. Licensee agrees that it will not engage, and will
require its sublicensees not to engage, in tying practices, illegal restraints
of trade, or selling practices that exclude any members of the retail trade for
any reasons other than poor credit history, known lack of integrity or disregard
for rights of Licensor and/or any of its Affiliates.

4.5 VENDORS. Upon Licensor's request, Licensee will provide Licensor with a list
of vendors, suppliers and manufacturers used by any of the Permitted
Sublicensees in connection with the performance of the sublicenses, with the
exception of any information of a Permitted Sublicensee that is provided to
Licensee's counsel or to the Brand Manager on the express condition that it not
be provided to Licensee. Such list will be considered Licensee's Confidential
Information and protected under Section 5.4 below. To the extent Licensee is not
in possession of any information requested by Licensor, it will use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain such information from the Permitted Sublicensees.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                                 PROPERTY RIGHTS

5.1   TITLE. Title to the Licensed Marks will always remain with Licensor.
Licensee will not acquire any rights or interest in the Licensed Marks except
the right to use the same pursuant to this Agreement. Licensee's and any
Permitted Sublicensee's use of the Licensed Marks will inure to Licensor's
exclusive benefit.

5.2   INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

      (a) The Parties agree that Licensor will solely own and have exclusive
worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Marks, to all
modifications and derivatives thereof, and to all United States and worldwide
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, domain names, trade secrets
and all other intellectual property rights related thereto.

      (b) Licensee hereby grants, transfers and assigns to Licensor,
irrevocably, throughout the world and in perpetuity, all rights of copyright in
and to any and all materials and works authored or created by or for Licensee
under the License or otherwise in the course of Licensee's performance under
this Agreement, in each case related to the Licensed Marks and all rights that
Licensee has, or may have, in any and all materials and works authored by any
sublicensee that are subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(c) hereof (all
such works and derivatives thereof hereinafter referred to as "Works"), and all
rights of copyright in and to any Work. For purposes hereof, the Works include
without limitation all artwork, designs, prototypes, packaging, and promotional
material of or for Licensed Products. Licensor will own all rights of copyright
in and to the Works whether or not such Works were approved by Licensor, or
ultimately manufactured, distributed, sold and/or promoted. Licensee will never
apply to obtain a copyright registration anywhere in the world covering any
Work. If Licensee engages any third parties to create or author any Work,
Licensee will cause each such third party to agree that all rights, including
rights of copyrights, in and to the Work will be owned by Licensor and will
cause each such third party to execute documents necessary to reflect that
ownership status, including without limitation assignment and/or recordation
documents. At the request of Licensor, Licensee will execute all documents
confirming Licensor's rights in and to the Works including without limitation
assignments of copyright in form and substance satisfactory to Licensor. If
Licensee will fail or refuse to sign any such documents, then Licensor will be
entitled to sign such documents for and on behalf of Licensee and, for this
purpose, Licensee hereby irrevocably appoints Licensor its attorney-in-fact with
power of substitution to sign all such documents as may be required. This power
of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.



      (c) (i) Licensee will require that each sublicensee will be required to
grant, transfer and assign to Licensor, irrevocably, throughout the world and in
perpetuity, all rights of copyright in and to any and all artwork authored or
created by or for such sublicensee and used on Licensed Products (all such works
and derivatives thereof hereinafter referred to as "Sublicensee Artworks"), and
all rights of copyright in and to any Sublicensee Artworks. Licensor will own
all rights of copyright in and to the Sublicensee Artworks that are used on
Licensed Products that are manufactured, distributed, sold and/or promoted, even
if not specifically approved by Licensor. Licensor will also own all rights of
copyright in and to the Sublicensee Artworks that are specifically approved by
Licensor, even if such Sublicensee Artworks are not ultimately used on Licensed
Products that are manufactured, distributed, sold and/or promoted. Licensee will
require that no sublicensee ever apply to obtain a copyright registration
anywhere in the world covering any of such Sublicensee Artworks. Licensee will
further require that if any sublicensee engages any third parties to create or
author any such Sublicensee Artworks, such sublicensee will require each such
third party to agree that all rights, including rights of copyrights, in and to
such Sublicensee Artworks will be owned by Licensor and will require each such
third party to execute documents necessary to reflect that ownership status,
including without limitation assignment and/or recordation documents. At the
request of Licensor, such sublicensee will execute all documents confirming
Licensor's rights in and to such Sublicensee Artworks including without
limitation assignments of copyright in form and substance satisfactory to
Licensor. If any sublicensee fails or refuses to sign any such documents, then
Licensor will be entitled to sign such documents for and on behalf of such
sublicensee and, for this purpose, the applicable sublicense will irrevocably
appoint Licensor as attorney-in-fact for such sublicensee with power of
substitution to sign all such documents as may be required, which power of
attorney will be coupled with an interest and be irrevocable.

            (ii) Licensee will require that each sublicensee will be required to
grant, transfer and assign to Licensor, irrevocably, throughout the world and in
perpetuity, all rights of copyright in and to any and all materials and works
(other than Sublicensee Artworks) authored or created by or for such sublicensee
specifically and uniquely for or relating to the Licensed Marks or any Licensed
Products (all such works and derivatives thereof hereinafter referred to as
"Sublicensee Works"), and all rights of copyright in and to any Sublicensee
Works; provided, however, that Licensor's right to enforce its copyrights in
Sublicensee Works against such sublicensee is predicated in each case upon
Licensor's using commercially reasonable efforts to pursue its remedies against
all actual third-party infringers (it being understood that, so long as Licensor
is acting in a commercially reasonable manner, Licensor will not be required to
pursue the same remedy against every such infringer, only that Licensor pursue a
remedy). For purposes hereof, the Sublicensee Works include all designs,
silhouettes, prototypes, packaging, and promotional material authored or created
by or for such sublicensee specifically and uniquely for or relating to the
Licensed Marks or any Licensed Products; provided, however, that the Sublicensee
Works will not include any designs, silhouettes, prototypes, packaging and
promotional material that are generic in nature or that are then being used by
any other person or entity in the same industry. Licensor will own all rights of
copyright in and to the Sublicensee Works that are used on Licensed Products
that are manufactured, distributed, sold and/or promoted, even if not
specifically approved by Licensor. Licensor will also own all rights of
copyright in and to the Sublicensee Works that are specifically approved by
Licensor, even if such Sublicensee Works are not ultimately used on Licensed
Products that are manufactured, distributed, sold and/or promoted. Licensee will
require that no sublicensee ever apply to obtain a copyright registration
anywhere in the world covering any of such Sublicensee's Works. Licensee will
further require that if any sublicensee engages any third parties to create or
author any such Sublicensee's Works, such sublicensee will require each such
third party to agree that all rights, including rights of copyrights, in and to
such Sublicensee Works will be owned by Licensor and will require each such
third party to execute documents necessary to reflect that ownership status,
including without limitation assignment and/or recordation documents. At the
request of Licensor, such sublicensee will execute all documents confirming
Licensor's rights in and to such Sublicensee Works including without limitation
assignments of copyright in form and substance satisfactory to Licensor. If any
sublicensee fails or refuses to sign any such documents, then Licensor will be
entitled to sign such documents for and on behalf of such sublicensee and, for
this purpose, the applicable sublicense will



irrevocably appoint Licensor as attorney-in-fact for such sublicensee with power
of substitution to sign all such documents as may be required, which power of
attorney will be coupled with an interest and be irrevocable.


5.3   PROTECTION OF LICENSOR'S RIGHTS.

      (a) Licensee will not identify itself as owner of any of the Licensed
Marks or any right or interest therein except as a licensee.

      (b) Licensee will not at any time do any act or thing that may in any way
impair or diminish the value of any of the Licensed Marks or the exclusive
ownership rights and interests of Licensor therein. Licensee will not, by any
act or omission, use any Licensed Mark in any manner that may tarnish, degrade,
disparage or reflect adversely on Licensor, its business or reputation, or the
Licensed Products. Licensee will not, by any act or omission, take any other
action which damages Licensor's reputation or which reflects negatively upon
Licensor or any of the Licensed Marks or Licensed Products.

      (c) During the Term and thereafter, Licensee will not challenge or
otherwise contest, either offensively or defensively, (i) the validity,
ownership or enforceability of the Licensed Marks or Licensor's copyrights or
other intellectual property rights, (ii) any of Licensor's current or subsequent
registrations or applications for registration of the Licensed Marks or (iii)
Licensor's exclusive right to own and register the Licensed Marks within and
outside the Licensed Territory.

      (d) Licensee will not, and will not permit any Permitted Sublicensee to,
seek to expand their license rights to any of the Licensed Marks within the
Licensed Territory for any goods or services through either use or filing for
registrations, except with respect to licensed goods or services which must be
done under written license agreements with Licensor (such as this Agreement),
and where all trademark and service mark applications and registrations will be
solely under Licensor's name.

      (e) Licensee will not directly or indirectly apply for or attempt to
register for itself or others any of the Licensed Marks or any logos within or
outside the Licensed Territory except as provided in Section 2.5.

      (f) Upon Licensor's request, Licensee will provide Licensor with any
information or assistance that Licensor may reasonably request in order to apply
for or register any of the Licensed Marks or any logos within or outside the
Licensed Territory.

      (g) Licensee will never reserve any domain name that includes or is
confusingly similar to a Licensed Mark; provided, that, if Licensee believes
that use of any particular domain name is desirable in connection with the
license granted to Licensee under this Agreement, Licensee may ask Licensor to
reserve such domain name. If Licensor chooses to do so, Licensor then may elect
to permit Licensee to use the domain name for some or all of the Term subject to
terms then acceptable to both Parties.

      (h) Licensee will give immediate attention and take necessary action to
satisfy all legitimate customer complaints brought in connection with any of the
Licensed Products. Licensee will give Licensor immediate notice of all
complaints of which it is aware that might affect the good standing or
reputation of any of the Licensed Marks or Licensor and also of all complaints
that might result in legal action to which Licensor may be a party, and
cooperate with Licensor upon request to achieve as good a reputation and press
as possible for the Licensed Marks and Licensed Products. Licensee understands
and acknowledges the meanings of counterfeit goods, diverted goods and parallel
goods and Licensee will use all commercially reasonable means to prevent the
creation of any such goods by its employees, agents, representatives and any
others operating under its direction, supervision or control. Licensee will
reasonably cooperate with Licensor to prevent unlawful use of the Licensed
Marks, including without



limitation counterfeiting, and to prevent diversion of Licensed Products outside
the Licensed Territory and/or Permitted Channels of Trade. Licensee will notify
Licensor if and when it becomes aware of (i) any actual, suspected or apparent
counterfeiting or other infringement of any of the Licensed Marks, including
without limitation the actual, suspected or apparent existence of counterfeit
goods, diverted goods or parallel goods; or (ii) any Licensed Products bearing a
Licensed Mark traveling outside a Permitted Channel of Trade. Licensor will have
the right, but not the obligation, to institute legal action or take any other
actions that it deems necessary to protect its interest in the Licensed Marks,
and Licensee will fully cooperate with Licensor in any such action, as more
fully described in Sections 6.5 (b) and (c).

      (i) Each Party will promptly notify the other if any legal action has been
or is likely to be instituted against the notifying Party relating to the
Licensed Marks, including by immediately forwarding to the other party's
attention copies of all documents directly relevant to such commenced or
possible legal action. If, for any reason, Licensee is prevented from using any
Licensed Mark, in any country, such will not be deemed a breach or default by
Licensor hereunder and Licensor will not be liable to Licensee on account
thereof.

5.4   CONFIDENTIALITY. The Parties agree that during the performance of this
Agreement, each Party may disclose to the other, and to Permitted Sublicensees
on a need-to-know basis subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements,
confidential information regarding its business, including financial data,
marketing information, methods of doing promotions and sponsorships, research
and development activities, accounting information, customer, supplier, vendor
and other contact lists and other proprietary information which constitute trade
secrets of a Party (collectively "Confidential Information"). The Confidential
Information of a Party may be marked and designated in writing as "Confidential"
or "Proprietary" or include any information which normally would be categorized
as confidential. The Parties will not disclose, copy, modify, distribute or
otherwise transfer the other Party's Confidential Information, or any part
thereof, to any other Person. The obligations and restrictions herein will not
apply to Confidential Information that falls within any of the following
exceptions, provided a receiving Party proves by credible written evidence that
such information:

            (a)   is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of
a receiving Party;

            (b)   was known by a receiving Party prior to the disclosure by
the other Party;

            (c)   was independently developed by or for a receiving Party
completely apart from the disclosures hereunder;

            (d) has been properly received from a third party who is not under
any obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information, and without
breach of this Agreement by a receiving Party; and/or

            (e) is released pursuant to a court order or otherwise required by
law (including without limitations as required under federal or state securities
laws), provided that the receiving Party immediately notifies the disclosing
Party of such court order or legal requirement, and gives the disclosing Party a
reasonable opportunity and cooperates with the disclosing Party to contest,
limit or condition the scope of such required disclosure.

If a receiving Party wishes to rely on the exceptions contained in subparagraphs
(b), (c) or (d) above, then the receiving Party must demonstrate to the
disclosing Party the facts underlying why the exception applies within 30 days
of receipt of the Confidential Information from the disclosing Party. The
Parties have the right to disclose the other's Confidential Information to their
Affiliates, and their respective employees or agents (but in no event may
Licensee disclose any of Licensor's Confidential Information to an Identified
Competitor or its employees or agents), who have a specific need to know to
perform the



obligations hereunder, but such Parties will be responsible for all of their
respective employees' actions. Except as provided above, each Party will use the
other's Confidential Information only to properly fulfill their obligations
hereunder, and not for any other purpose. Upon either Party's request, the other
Party will return to the requesting Party the originals and all copies of the
requesting Party's Confidential Information within 10 days of such request.

5.5   ENFORCEMENT. Both Parties agree that Licensor or Licensee will be
irreparably harmed and money damages would be inadequate compensation if either
breaches any provision of this Agreement. Accordingly, in addition to any other
right or remedy available to it, Licensor or Licensee , as the case may be, will
be entitled to an injunction restraining any breach or threatened breach of this
Agreement by the other and to specific performance of any provision of this
Agreement, and in either case no bond or other security will be required in
connection therewith, and Licensee or Licensor, as the case may be, hereby
consents to the issuance of any such injunction and to the ordering of specific
performance. This Article 5 and all other provisions of this Agreement that
protect the Licensed Marks will survive any termination or expiration of this
Agreement.

5.6   GOODWILL. Licensee recognizes the great value of the publicity and
goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks and, in such connection,
acknowledges that such goodwill belongs exclusively to Licensor, and that the
Licensed Marks have acquired secondary meaning in the minds of the purchasing
public.


                                    ARTICLE 6
                           DISTRIBUTION AND OPERATIONS

6.1   APPROVED CUSTOMERS.

      (a) The term "Approved Customers" means only (i) the upper- and mid-tier
department stores listed on SCHEDULE B, (ii) the specialty retailers listed on
SCHEDULE B, and (iii) the independent specialty stores listed on SCHEDULE B.
Changes to SCHEDULE B are subject to Licensor's approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld.

      (b) It will not be unreasonable for Licensor to withhold its approval of
any of the following as additional Approved Customers: (i) specialty retailers
principally engaged in the sale of apparel or accessories to teen girls; (ii)
lower moderate retailers, such as Sears; (iii) mass retailer chain stores; (iv)
discount or budget stores; (v) warehouse clubs or wholesale retailers; and (vi)
off-price stores.

      (c) Licensee acknowledges that in order to maintain the strength of and
goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks, it is necessary that the Licensed
Products be sold only to Approved Customers. Licensee will not permit the sale
of any Licensed Products other than to Approved Customers. On the Effective
Date, Licensee will provide Licensor with a list of all potential Approved
Customers for the Licensed Products. After the Effective Date, Licensee may
propose to Licensor that additional stores be added to SCHEDULE B, subject to
Licensor's reasonable prior approval. Periodically during the Term, Licensee
will also provide Licensor with an updated list of all actual Approved Customers
to which Licensed Products have been sold.

      (d) If Licensor determines, in good faith, that any customers are not
within the class of Approved Customers, then Licensor has the right to require
the cessation of all further sales to such customers and Licensee will take all
necessary actions to cause its Permitted Sublicensees to suspend sales to such
customers. Licensor also has the right to withdraw its prior approval of an
Approved Customer if it determines, in good faith, that the reputation or
quality of the customer or the goods that it carries has suffered a material,
negative change since Licensor's approval, based on standards consistent with
the stores listed on Schedule B, and will provide Licensee with 30 days' prior
written notice of such withdrawal or disapproval. In all such events, no new
orders will be permitted to be



accepted from such disapproved customers after the effective date of Licensor's
notice, and only orders that have been accepted prior to the effective date of
Licensor's rejection, disapproval or withdrawal of approval may continue to be
filled.

      (e) An Approved Customer may sell the Licensed Products in the ordinary
conduct of its business, which may include incidental use of the Internet and
catalogs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Approved Customer may sell Licensed
Products in any of the following ways: (i) via the Internet where Licensed
Products are grouped exclusively on one or more web pages or by use of any
Licensed Mark as a metatag or key word or link or in any similar function other
than a website-specific search; (ii) , in any catalog or through any other
direct marketing method where the Licensed Products constitute the predominant
products. By way of example and not limitation, an Approved Customer may include
Licensed Products for sale on an Internet web-page with other products of other
brands or may promote the sale of Licensed Products through a print circular in
which Licensed Products do not predominate.

6.2   ADVERTISING; MARKETING. Licensee will advertise and promote the Licensed
Marks and the Licensed Products in the Licensed Territory in a manner that will
enhance the goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks. However, Licensee will
not publish, display or otherwise distribute any catalogs, trade show displays
or materials, sales literature or other advertising or promotional materials
regarding the Licensed Marks or the Licensed Products without Licensor's prior
written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Licensee will provide
or make available to Licensor, free of charge, with representative samples of
Licensee's proposed catalogs, trade show displays, advertisements and other
promotional materials for Licensor's written approval. Licensor will approve or
reject, in its reasonable discretion (but in cooperation with Licensee), the
samples of such advertising materials within 15 days after receiving the same
from Licensee. Unless Licensee receives Licensor's written approval or rejection
within the fifteen day period, then such materials for which Licensee has not
received either written approval or rejection will be deemed approved by
Licensor. After samples of such advertising materials have been approved by
Licensor, Licensee will not produce or distribute any advertising materials that
differ in any material respect from the samples approved by Licensor without
Licensor's additional prior written consent. Licensee will use all Marketing
Funds actually received solely for marketing and promotion of the Licensed
Products and the Licensed Marks in the Licensed Territory. In consultation with
Licensor, Licensee will develop an annual sales and marketing plan and a related
annual budget for the Licensed Products in the Licensed Territory and otherwise
promote the Licensed Marks as they relate to the Licensed Products in the
Licensed Territory. Licensee will coordinate with retailers to implement such
sales and marketing plans. The sales and marketing plan and budget must be
approved by both Licensee and Licensor in good faith. If Licensor rejects the
sales and marketing plan or budget suggested by Licensee, Licensor will provide
the specific reasons for its rejection of the plan or budget, as the case may
be.

6.3   PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND SALES. Licensee will cause its Permitted
Sublicensees to employ merchandisers and designers to develop the Licensed
Products as reasonably deemed necessary by Licensee and consistent with industry
standards for the Licensed Products in the teen girls' apparel and accessories
industry. Licensee will also cause its Permitted Sublicensees to, consistent
with industry standards, maintain or arrange for a sales force that will
properly represent the Licensed Products throughout the entire Licensed
Territory.

6.4   PROPRIETARY NOTICES.

      (a) If Licensor elects, it may require Licensee to cause (i) to be used or
placed on all Licensed Products and on all packaging, advertising and
promotional materials legal notices and symbols evidencing Licensor's ownership
and/or registration of the Licensed Marks and/or copyright notices as Licensor
may reasonably direct in the future, (ii) all Licensed Products to contain a
hangtag and label with Licensor's name and/or logo and (iii) Licensee will also
cause all Licensed Products to display or otherwise identify Licensor's name
either on a permanently affixed label or such other manner approved



in writing by Licensor. SCHEDULE I sets forth a list of agreed potential vendors
that will manufacture hangtags or neck labels for the Licensed Products.
Licensee will cause all Licensed Products components that bear any of Licensor's
logos (other than hangtags or neck labels) to be manufactured by or for a
Permitted Sublicensee in accordance with the sublicense agreement. Licensee will
not permit any of the Permitted Sublicensees to use the Licensed Marks on any
Licensed Products that bear or incorporate any mark other than the Licensed
Marks, whether or not such other marks are owned by Licensor. Licensee agrees
that it will not permit any Permitted Sublicensee to use any other markings,
legends or notices on and in connection with the Licensed Products and packaging
therefor without first obtaining Licensor's prior written approval, which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that if Licensor has not
approved or disapproved and stated the basis for such disapproval of any such
use within 10 days after receiving Licensee's request therefor, such use will be
deemed approved.

      (b) Upon the request of Licensee and approval of Licensor, Licensee may
identify itself as a licensee of Licensor on stationary and business forms used
for any transactions relating to Licensed Products, provided it does so clearly
and with the size, form and content of such identification to be approved by
Licensor in its sole discretion. No use of the Licensed Marks will be preprinted
by Licensee on its stationery, envelopes, business cards, invoices, statements,
packing slips, shipping cartons, or other similar documents or materials unless
and until pre-approved in writing by Licensor.

6.5   INFRINGEMENT.

      (a) Licensee agrees to notify Licensor promptly of any conduct on the part
of third parties that it deems to be a potential infringement, violation or an
act of unfair competition or dilution of the Licensed Marks.

      (b) In such event, Licensor will have the first right, in its sole
discretion and at its expense, to take whatever action it deems commercially
appropriate to stop such infringement, including the bringing of an action for
infringement or dilution of the Licensed Marks or for unfair competition with
respect thereto. Licensor will exclusively control the prosecution or settlement
of any such action and will bring such action in the name of Licensor only or in
the name of both Licensor and Licensee. Licensee agrees, at Licensor's expense,
to cooperate with Licensor in any such action and provide Licensor with all
information and materials requested by Licensor. Licensor will have the right to
retain any monetary proceeds, damages and other relief awarded in any such
action or settlement thereof.

      (c) If Licensor notifies Licensee in writing that it is not taking any
such action (such notice to be provided within 30 days of Licensor's receipt of
Licensee's notice) or if Licensor fails to commence to take appropriate action
to stop such infringement within 30 days of Licensor's receipt of Licensee's
notice, which would have a material adverse effect on Licensee's use of the
Licensed Marks, then and only then will Licensee have the right, at its expense,
following prior written notice to Licensor, to take whatever action is necessary
to stop such infringement, including the bringing of an action for infringement
or dilution of the Licensed Marks or for unfair competition with respect
thereto. In such event, Licensee will exclusively control the prosecution or
settlement of any such action and will bring such action in the name of both
Licensor and Licensee. Licensor agrees, at Licensee's expense, to cooperate with
Licensee in any such action and provide Licensee with all information and
materials requested by Licensee. Licensee will have the right to retain any
monetary proceeds, damages and other relief awarded in any such action or
settlement thereof, except with respect to any assignment or license of
trademark or other intellectual property rights which will be made only with
Licensor.

6.6   SALES COMMISSIONS. Licensee will be solely responsible to pay all sales
commissions and other compensation that may arise from the sale of the Licensed
Products. Licensee will indemnify, defend and hold Licensor harmless from all
damages, disputes and liabilities, including without limitation attorneys' fees
and costs incurred, that in any way arise out of or relate to any claims by
Licensee's national sales managers, sales representatives or similar parties
working on behalf of Licensee or the Brand Manager.



6.7   COOPERATION WITH LICENSOR. Licensee will reasonably cooperate with
Licensor in the mutual exchange of information and ideas, designs and other
information that relates to the use and promotion of the Licensed Marks. Upon
Licensor's request, Licensee agrees to cause its representatives to attend, at
its expense, at least one monthly meeting in New York City with Licensor to
discuss future sublicensees, products and channels of distribution, at the times
and places designated by Licensor.

6.8   LICENSEE'S EFFORTS. Licensee covenants that, subject to the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement, it will, and will cause the Permitted
Sublicensees to, use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts throughout the
Territory and during the entire Term, to design, manufacture, distribute, sell
and promote Licensed Products, to make and maintain adequate arrangements for
the distribution of the Licensed Products, and commercially reasonable efforts
to promote and expand sales to achieve the highest Sublicense Income reasonably
and practicably obtainable.


                                    ARTICLE 7
                                   TERMINATION

7.1   LICENSEE DEFAULT.

      (a) Prior to Recoupment, in the event that Licensee breaches any provision
of this Agreement (including without limitation the defaults described in this
Section 7.1(a) and in Section 7.1(b)), Licensor will have all available rights
and remedies for such breach other than termination of this Agreement; provided,
that Licensor may terminate this Agreement prior to (or after) Recoupment if any
of the following breaches remains uncured 30 days after notice thereof from
Licensor to Licensee: (1) Licensee terminates, without Licensor's consent, Group
3 Design Corp. as the Brand Manager; (2) Licensee challenges Licensor's
ownership of the Licensed Marks or files or applies for any trademark
registration for any mark that is confusingly similar to any Licensed Mark; (3)
Licensee sublicenses to any Person other than a Permitted Sublicensee without
Licensor's consent; or (4) Licensee fails to use all commercially reasonable
efforts to pursue its remedies, up to and including termination, against a
defaulting sublicensee (e.g., a sublicensee who challenges Licensor's ownership
of the Licensed Marks or sells Licensed Products to any retailer other than the
Approved Customers) or the Brand Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Licensee will have five Business Days from the date of Licensor's notice to
Licensee of a default specified in clause (4) above in which to commence to
cure, and 60 days from the date of such notice in which to cure, such default.
If Licensee fails to cure (and, in the case of clause (4) above, commence to
cure) any default under this Section 7.1(a) within the applicable time period,
Licensor will have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately. Prior to
Recoupment the Licensor may only terminate this Agreement pursuant to either
this Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.4(a).

      (b) Following Recoupment, Licensor may terminate this Agreement as
provided in this Section 7.1(b) if (1) Licensee breaches in any material respect
any provision of this Agreement or any sublicense agreement, (2) Licensee files
a petition in bankruptcy, has a petition filed against it regarding bankruptcy,
is adjudicated bankrupt, becomes insolvent, or makes any assignment for the
benefit of creditors that has a material adverse effect on Licensee's ability to
perform under this Agreement, (3) Licensee or its agents make a material
misrepresentation regarding the Licensed Marks or Licensor, (4) Licensee engages
in activity which has a material adverse effect on the reputation, business,
Licensed Marks, or products of Licensor, (5) Licensee ceases to operate or
continuously engage in business as a going concern for longer than 10
consecutive days and/or (6) any Licensed Products are sold to a Person that is
not an Approved Customer and Licensee fails to use all commercially reasonable
efforts to pursue its remedies, up to and including termination, against the
defaulting sublicensee, Licensee will be deemed to be in default under this
Agreement. In each such event, Licensee will have 30 days from the date of
Licensor's notice to Licensee of such default in which to cure such default
(except that any default in delivering License Payments and/or other monetary
obligations hereunder will be cured by Licensee



within five days of Licensor's notice, and except that the breach of Sections
5.1, 5.2(a), 5.3(a), 5.3(c), 5.3(d) and 5.4(e) will be deemed non-curable and
Licensor has the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, and except that
Licensee will have five Business Days from the date of such notice in which to
commence to cure, and 60 days from the date of such notice in which to cure, a
default specified in clause (6) above). If Licensee fails to cure (and, in the
case of clause (6) above, commence to cure) such default within the applicable
cure period, if any, Licensor will have the right to terminate this Agreement
immediately. Licensee will ensure that the Brand Management Agreement and all
sublicense agreements entered into by Licensee will have an identical
termination provision for the express benefit of Licensor.

7.2   SUBLICENSEE DEFAULT. If a sublicense agreement may be terminated as a
result of any act or omission on the part of a Permitted Sublicensee, Licensor
may request Licensee to terminate such sublicense agreement in accordance with
the terms thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, if more than one Permitted
Sublicensee breaches any of the provisions in its respective sublicense relating
to any of the matters set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, Licensor and Licensee
will meet as promptly as possible after the second such breach, at which time
Licensee will present to Licensor a plan for ensuring compliance by the
Permitted Sublicensees with such provisions. Licensor may require Licensee to
enforce strictly the terms of its sublicense agreements with Permitted
Sublicensees; provided, that Licensor notifies Licensee of the specific terms
that Licensor is requiring to be so enforced. A default by a Permitted
Sublicensee (such as challenging Licensor's ownership of the Licensed Marks or
selling Licensed Products to any retailer other than the Approved Customers)
will not constitute a default by Licensee under this Agreement by Licensee so
long as Licensee continues to use all commercially reasonable efforts to pursue
its rights and remedies against such defaulting sublicensee. The failure of
Licensee to pursue actively its remedies against a defaulting sublicensee will
create a termination right in favor of Licensor in accordance with Section
7.1(a)(4). Licensee and Licensor will each advise the other of all defaults by
sublicensees known to it.

7.3   BRAND MANAGER DEFAULT. If the Brand Management Agreement may be terminated
as a result of any act or omission on the part of the Brand Manager, Licensor
may request Licensee to terminate the Brand Management Agreement in accordance
with the terms thereof.

7.4   OPTIONAL TERMINATION. (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
Licensor may elect, at its option, to terminate this Agreement at any time,
effective upon the payment to Licensee of a termination fee equal to five times
the amount of Licensee's Share for the 12 months preceding such termination;
PROVIDED, that within 90 days after the end of the 12 months after the effective
date of such termination (the "Post-Termination Period"), Licensor will also pay
to Licensee half of the amount, if any, by which the amount that Licensee would
have received as Licensee's Share for the Post-Termination Period (calculated
according to actual Royalties received by Licensor during the Post-Termination
Period, exclusive of advances and other non-refundable guaranteed payments above
the sublicensee's Earned Royalties during that period) had this Agreement not
been terminated, exceeds the Licensee's Share for the 12 months preceding the
termination of this Agreement; and PROVIDED, further, that if the termination
occurs prior to the recoupment in full of the Advance, the termination fee will
be not less than the sum of (i) $49,500,000 (being three times the Advance) plus
(ii) any Preferred Return accrued and unpaid at the date of termination.

      (b) If Licensor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a) prior
to the recoupment in full of the Advance, Licensee will, at Licensor's option,
and at Licensee's sole cost and expense, cause the Brand Management Agreement
either (i) to be terminated in accordance with its terms (without liability to
Licensor) or (ii) assigned to Licensor or to Licensor's designee, in which case
Licensor (or its designee) will be responsible to pay to the Brand Manager only
those amounts that accrue under the Brand Management Agreement from and after
the date of such assignment. The Brand Management Agreement will provide that,
following such assignment, (x) Licensor (or its designee) will be entitled to
terminate the Brand Management Agreement at any time for "cause" (as defined in
the Brand



Management Agreement) without any cost or liability to Licensor (or its
designee) and (y) Licensor (or its designee) will be entitled to terminate the
Brand Management Agreement at any time at its option, effective upon the payment
by the Licensor (or its designee) to the Brand Manager of a termination fee in
an amount equal to three times the product of (x) the applicable percentage used
to calculate the Brand Management Fee under Section 8(a) of the Brand Management
Agreement and (y) the aggregate amount of all Earned Royalties (as such term is
defined in the applicable sublicenses and Customer Agreements) for the 12 months
preceding such termination under all sublicenses and Customer Agreements
actually entered into and in effect for such period.

      (c) If Licensor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a)
following the recoupment in full of the Advance, Licensee will, at Licensor's
option, and at Licensee's cost and expense (except as specifically provided
below), cause the Brand Management Agreement either (i) to be terminated in
accordance with its terms (without liability to Licensor, except as specifically
provided below) or (ii) assigned to Licensor or to Licensor's designee, in which
case Licensor (or its designee) will be responsible to pay to the Brand Manager
only those amounts that accrue under the Brand Management Agreement from and
after the date of such assignment. In the event of a termination of the Brand
Management Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.4(c), Licensor and
Licensee will pay to the Brand Manager upon such termination an amount equal to
three times the product of (x) the applicable percentage used to calculate the
Brand Management Fee under Section 8(a) of the Brand Management Agreement and
(y) the aggregate amount of all Earned Royalties (as such term is defined in the
applicable sublicenses and Customer Agreements) for the 12 months preceding such
termination under all sublicenses and Customer Agreements actually entered into
and in effect for such period, such payment to be divided between Licensor and
Licensee in the same proportion as Royalties were paid to Licensor and retained
by Licensee hereunder immediately prior to the termination of this Agreement. In
the event that the Brand Management Agreement is assigned to Licensor (or its
designee) in accordance with this Section 7.4(c) and thereafter terminated by
Licensor (or its designee) without a "cause" (as such term is defined in the
Brand Management Agreement), Licensor (or its designee) will pay to the Brand
Manager upon such termination an amount equal to three times the product of (x)
the applicable percentage used to calculate the Brand Management Fee under
Section 8(a) of the Brand Management Agreement and (y) the aggregate amount of
all Earned Royalties (as such term is defined in the applicable sublicenses and
Customer Agreements) for the 12 months preceding such termination under all
sublicenses and Customer Agreements actually entered into and in effect for such
period.

7.5   CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION.

      (a) Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2 or
7.4: (1) the License to use the Licensed Marks will automatically revert to
Licensor, and Licensee will thereafter immediately cease and refrain from using
in any way the Licensed Marks or any confusingly similar name or mark; (2)

Licensor; (5) neither Party will be released from any obligation on its part to
be performed that accrued prior to the date of termination; (6) Licensee will,

Management Agreement either to be terminated in accordance with its terms
(without liability to Licensor) or assigned to Licensor or to Licensor's
designee, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4; and (7) Licensee will
cause all sublicense agreements then in effect to be assigned to Licensor or to
Licensor's designee.

      (b) Upon the termination of any sublicense agreement pursuant to Section
7.2, Licensee will cause the Permitted Sublicensee to: (1) immediately cease and

      (c) Upon the termination of the Brand Management Agreement pursuant to
Section 7.3, Licensor and Licensee will seek to appoint, as promptly as
practicable, a mutually acceptable successor brand manager. Licensee may not
enter into any replacement Brand Management Agreement without Licensor's prior
written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), and any such replacement
Brand Management Agreement will acknowledge that Licensor is an intended
third-party beneficiary of that agreement.

7.6   EXPIRATION OF AGREEMENT OR SUBLICENSE; CESSATION OF USE; LIMITED RIGHT
TO SELL INVENTORY.

      (a) Upon the expiration of this Agreement or expiration or termination of
any sublicense agreement, subject to Section 7.6(b), Licensee will, or will
cause the applicable Permitted Sublicensee to, as the case may be: (1)

confusingly similar name or mark, and, in the case of the expiration of this
Agreement, the License to use the Licensed Marks will automatically revert to
Licensor; (2) destroy all materials bearing the Licensed Marks and not further
manufacture, sell or distribute any of the Licensed Products without Licensor's
prior written consent; (3) comply with Licensor's instructions on how to dispose

Licensor's option and at Licensee's sole cost and expense, cause the Brand
Management Agreement either to be terminated in accordance with its terms
(without liability to Licensor) or assigned to Licensor or to Licensor's
designee.

      (b) Except as provided herein, each sublicense agreement will provide
that, upon the expiration or termination (other than for default) thereof, the
Permitted Sublicensee will have the limited right to sell and distribute its
remaining inventory of Licensed Products and/or complete and distribute its work
in process of Licensed Products which existed as of the date of such expiration
for a maximum period of 120 days following such expiration date. Licensee will
not permit any Permitted Sublicensee to manufacture or produce any more Licensed
Products except for work in process that existed prior to such expiration date.
Licensee will cause the Permitted Sublicensees only to liquidate such inventory
and work in process to Approved Customers currently approved by Licensor.
Licensee will also ensure that each sublicense agreement will provide that upon
the termination thereof as a result of a default thereunder, Permitted
Sublicensee will have no right to market, distribute, sell, or otherwise dispose
of its remaining inventory of Licensed Products and/or complete or distribute
any of its work in process, unless Licensor gives its express prior written
consent.

7.7   CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.  All rights and remedies conferred herein will be
cumulative and in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to
each Party at law, equity or otherwise.



                                    ARTICLE 8
                          INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

8.1   INDEMNITY.

      (a) Licensee will indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably approved by
Licensor) and hold harmless Licensor and its officers, directors, stockholders,
Affiliates, agents, employees and other representatives (each a "Licensor
Indemnitee") against all damages, claims, liabilities, losses and other
expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs,
whether or not a lawsuit or other proceeding is filed, that arise out of or
relate to (1) Licensee's use of any of the Licensed Marks in a manner not
permitted by this Agreement, (2) alleged defects or other problems with any of
the Licensed Products manufactured, marketed, sold or distributed by Licensee,
(3) Licensee's promotion, advertising or other use of any of the Licensed Marks
or Licensed Products that has not been approved by Licensor in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, (4) Licensee's transactions with third parties
and/or the operation of its business in connection herewith, including without
limitation performance by the Licensee of its obligations under the Brand
Management Agreement or any sublicense, (5) inconsistencies (not previously
approved by Licensor) between this Agreement and any sublicense agreement
entered into by Licensee with a Permitted Sublicensee, (6) any use of any
Licensed Product in conjunction with any new trademark used under Section 2.5
during the period prior to the date such new trademark's registration is
granted, and/or (7) any breach of, or non-performance under, the provisions of
the Brand Management Agreement by Licensee occurring prior to the assignment of
such agreement to Licensor (or its designee) pursuant to Section 7.4, including,
without limitation, any fee or amount payable by Licensee as a result of the
termination of the Brand Management Agreement. If Licensee fails to promptly
indemnify and defend such claims and/or pay a Licensor Indemnitee's expenses, as
provided above, such Licensor Indemnitee will have the right to defend itself,
and in that case, Licensee will reimburse such Licensor Indemnitee for all of
its costs, damages and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in settling or
defending such claims within 15 days of each of such Licensor Indemnitee's
written requests. Licensee may not settle any such claim without a Licensor
Indemnitee's prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld.

      (b) Licensor will indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably approved by
Licensee) and hold harmless Licensee and its officers, directors, stockholders,
Affiliates, agents, employees and other representatives (each a "Licensee
Indemnitee") against all damages, claims, liabilities, losses and other
expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs,
whether or not a lawsuit or other proceeding is filed, that arise out of or
relate to (1) the use of the Licensed Marks in accordance with this Agreement by
Licensee or the Permitted Sublicensees, (2) alleged defects or other problems
with any products manufactured, marketed, sold or distributed by Licensor,
unless such product is a Licensed Product manufactured by a Permitted
Sublicensee pursuant to a sublicense entered into pursuant to this Agreement,

non-performance under, the provisions of the Brand Management Agreement by
Licensor occurring after any assignment of such agreement to Licensor (or its
designee) by Licensee pursuant to Section 7.4, including, without limitation,
any fee or amount payable by Licensor (or its designee) as a result of the
subsequent termination of the Brand Management Agreement. If Licensor fails to
promptly indemnify and defend such claims and/or pay a Licensee Indemnitee's
expenses, as provided above, such Licensee Indemnitee will have the right to
defend itself, and in that case, Licensor will reimburse such Licensee
Indemnitee for all of its costs, damages and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred
in settling or defending such claims within 15 days of each of such Licensee
Indemnitee's written requests. Licensor may not settle any such claim without a
Licensee Indemnitee's prior written consent, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld.

                                    ARTICLE 9
              CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

9.1   SOLVENCY. Upon Licensor's request, Licensee will provide Licensor with a
statement from Licensee's Chief Financial Officer attesting to Licensee's
solvency at Licensee's cost. For the purposes of this Agreement, "solvency" will
mean that (i) Licensee is able to pay its obligations (including contingent
obligations) as they become due in the regular course of business; (ii) that
Licensee is not engaged in a business or transaction for which Licensee's
property would constitute unreasonably small capital; (iii) Licensee does not
intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond
Licensee's ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; and (iv) that
the fair value of Licensee's assets exceeds the total amount of Licensee's
liabilities including without limitation contingent liabilities.

9.2   AFFILIATES; COMPETITION. Licensee, Brand Manager, or any Related Party of
Licensee or Brand Manager, or any Affiliate of any such Person, may be a
Permitted Sublicensee or enter into any agreement, transact any business or
otherwise engage in any business relationship relating to or



involving the Licensed Marks (or any of them) or any Licensed Products only if
the terms of such sublicense or business relationship were negotiated at arms'
length and, if there is to be a sublicense hereunder to a Permitted Sublicensee
that is an Affiliate of Licensee or Brand Manager, Licensor has received prior
written notice of such fact.

9.3   SECURITY INTERESTS.

      (a) Licensee represents and warrants that it has not granted to any
individual or entity a preference, security interest or lien in this Agreement,
the License or the Licensed Marks, and agrees that it will not grant a
preference, security interest or lien in this Agreement, the License or the
Licensed Marks.

      (b) Licensee represents and warrants that it has not granted to any
individual or entity a preference, security interest or lien in the Licensed
Products, and agrees that it will use all commercially reasonable efforts to
prohibit its Permitted Sublicensees from granting a preference, security
interest or lien in the Licensed Products; provided, that if that prohibition
cannot be obtained, Licensee will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
provide in the sublicense that unless and until such Permitted Sublicensee
notifies Licensor in writing of each such security interest and otherwise
complies with the following conditions:

            (i)   the grant of rights in the Licensed Products represent a
non-assignable security interest and not a conveyance of ownership;

            (ii)  such secured party is a credible financial institution that
maintains at least an A-rating from a nationally recognized credit rating agency
(such as Moody's or Standard & Poors) throughout the license period;

            (iii) such secured party will not be entitled to complete
works-in-progress or raw materials used to create the Licensed Products; and

            (iv)  Licensee will contractually require that if such secured party
wishes to sell the affected Licensed Products upon a Permitted Sublicensee's
default of such security agreement, then the secured party will first offer
Licensor the opportunity to purchase such inventory at the lesser of the
Permitted Sublicensee's cost and the lowest "qualified bid" therefor. For
purposes of this Agreement, a "qualified bid" will be any bona fide, arm's
length bid offered other than by a party (1) who Licensor would not approve as a
purchaser hereunder, or (2) who is related to or affiliated with the Permitted
Sublicensee (including, without limitation, the Affiliates listed on SCHEDULE
G). If Licensor does not exercise such option to purchase the inventory, the
Permitted Sublicensee will obtain Licensor's written approval of such sale upon
at least 15 Business Days' advance written notice to Licensor, it being
understood that Licensor may grant or deny approval in its sole discretion and
that if approval is denied, Licensor will be entitled to order the destruction
or return of such Licensed Products upon the payment to the secured party by
Licensor of the manufacturer's cost of such goods. If approval is granted by
Licensor, the sale will be conditioned upon (1) the payment to Licensor of all
Royalties due to Licensor on such sales, based on the terms of this Agreement,
within 15 days from such sale (and any outstanding obligations owed to Licensor,
if requested by Licensor, (2) the secured party's carrying of insurance of the
type required of Licensee prior to consummating such sale, (3) Licensor's
approval of said Licensed Products, (4) the manner of the sale (including,
without limitation, Licensed Territory, method of distribution and license
period) complies in all aspects of this Agreement; and (5) the secured party's
agreement to indemnify Licensor and its Affiliates from all claims relating to
such sale.

      (c) Licensee will require its sublicensees to inform Licensor promptly and
in writing of any default by them under an agreement with a secured lender in
which the Licensed Products are implicated.



9.4   OPERATION OF LICENSEE'S BUSINESS.  During the Term, Licensee will not
dissolve, liquidate or wind up its business.

9.5   COVENANTS OF LICENSOR.  Licensor warrants, represents and covenants
that:

      (a) Licensor has, and will continue to have, the legal right to enter into
this Agreement and to assume the obligations hereunder and that there are no,
and Licensor will not enter into during the term hereof, contracts, agreements
or understandings with anyone which that in any way restrict or prevent it from
performing its obligations under this Agreement.

      (b) During the term of this Agreement, Licensor will not market, sell or
distribute, nor license any third party to market, sell or distribute, the
Licensed Products to Permitted Channels of Trade in the Territory bearing the
Licensed Marks, except as provided in this Agreement.

      (c) Licensor (i) is the sole and exclusive owner of and has good title to
the Licensed Marks and has the full and sufficient right and authority to grant
to Licensee the rights and privileges granted hereby and (ii) has not granted
any option, right, privileges or license to any third parties that interfere or
conflict with the rights and privileges granted to Licensee hereunder.

      (d) Except as set forth in Section 9.5(b) of SCHEDULE A hereto, to the
knowledge of Licensor, no claims or actions have been asserted or are pending or
threatened overtly in writing against Licensor or against any third party (i)
based upon or challenging or seeking to expressly deny or restrict the use of
any of the Licensed Marks, (ii) alleging expressly that any products
manufactured or sold by Licensor infringe on any patent, trademark, copyright,
or any other right of any third party or (iii) alleging expressly that the use
of such Licensed Marks does or may infringe upon the rights of any third party.

      9.6 LICENSEE'S LIEN. (a) To secure its obligations under this Agreement,
Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a security interest in all of Licensor's
right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Marks and the dELiA*s Artwork,
but subject to the terms and conditions of the dELiA*s License and the WFRF
License (the "Lien"). Licensor agrees to execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and to take all action, that may be necessary, or
that Licensee may reasonably request, to perfect and protect the Lien granted
hereby and to enable Licensee to exercise and enforce its rights with respect to
the Lien.

      (b) The only event of default that will entitle Licensee to exercise any
right or remedy in respect of the Lien will be a termination or rejection of the
License or this Agreement in a bankruptcy proceeding of Licensor or any of its
Affiliates (a "Security Interest Event of Default"). So long as no Security
Interest Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, Licensor's exercise of
all its rights with respect to the Licensed Marks and the dELiA*s Artwork shall
not be restricted in any way by the Lien, except that Licensor may not pledge or
grant any security interest or lien on the Licensed Marks or the dELiA*s Artwork
(or any of them) in favor of any other person, firm or entity prior to
Recoupment.

      (c) From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Security
Interest Event of Default, Licensee will have all rights and remedies available
to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as the same may, from time
to time, be enacted and in effect in the State of New York (the "UCC"), with
respect to the Lien, including the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any of
the Licensed Marks or dELiA*s Artwork in accordance with Section 9-610 of the
UCC; provided, that in no event may Licensee cause the dELiA*s License or the
WFRF License to be terminated. In addition, from and after the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Security Interest Event of Default, Licensee will
have the right, but will not be obligated, to bring suit, or to take such other
action as it deems necessary or advisable, in the name of Licensor, to enforce
or protect any of the Licensed Marks or dELiA*s



Artwork, in which event Licensor will, at the reasonable request of Licensee,
take any lawful acts and execute such documents as may be required in connection
therewith.

      (d) Upon Recoupment (whether in accordance with this Agreement or in
connection with a bankruptcy proceeding), the Lien granted hereby will terminate
and Licensee will execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take
such further action, at Licensee's expense, as may be necessary, or as Licensor
may reasonably request, to evidence the termination of the Lien granted hereby,
including making any required notifications to the United States, and any
applicable foreign, Patent and Trademark Offices.



                                   ARTICLE 10
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1  RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship between the Parties is only that
of a licensor and licensee notwithstanding any joint activities set forth in
this Agreement. Neither Party is the agent or legal representative of the other
Party, and neither Party has the right or authority to bind the other Party in
any way. This Agreement creates no relationship as partners or a joint venture,
and creates no pooling arrangement.

10.2  GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced
under the laws of the State of New York, without application of its conflicts or
choice of law rules. Both Parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York
for any action or proceeding regarding this Agreement, and both parties waive
any right to object to the jurisdiction or venue of the federal and state courts
in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.

10.3  ASSIGNMENT. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither party may assign
any of its rights in this Agreement to any person, firm or entity. The transfer
or conveyance of all or any part of the membership or other equity interests in
Licensee to any Identified Competitor will constitute a prohibited assignment of
this Agreement. Except as provided in this Section, the transfer or conveyance
of all the membership or other equity interests in any party hereto will not be
restricted in any manner.

10.4  COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts that
together will be originals and constitute one and the same instrument.

10.5  WAIVER. The failure of either Party to enforce any of its rights hereunder
or at law will not be deemed a waiver or a continuing waiver of any of its
rights or remedies against the other Party, unless such waiver is in writing and
signed by the Party to be charged.

10.6  SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance or in any
jurisdiction, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any
reason, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to the substitution
therefor of a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as
may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid provision;
provided, however, that the validity, legality and enforceability of any such
provision in every other respect and in every other jurisdiction and of the
remaining provisions contained herein will not be in any way impaired thereby,
it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the Parties will be
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10.7  ATTORNEY'S FEES. Licensor agrees to reimburse Licensee upon the submission
by Licensee of supporting documentation and invoices for up to $50,000 in legal

conditioned or delayed by Licensor in its sole discretion.

this Agreement.

10.17 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Neither party will generate its own press releases
or general publicity of any kind relating to this Agreement, the Licensed Marks,
or the Licensed Goods, including, without limitation, through interviews, public
statements, oral statements, electronic statements, written submission or other
media outlets, without first requesting and obtaining the other party's prior
written approval. The requesting party will aid the other party in deciding
whether to grant such approval, including by providing the other party
information or material related to the press release or publicity upon such
party's request.

10.18 STANDARDS FOR CONSENTS. Except as specifically provided herein to the
contrary, no consent or approval required under this Agreement will be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Every proposed use of any
Licensed Mark submitted to Licensor for its approval must be approved or
rejected by Licensor within 10 days of such submittal or such use will be deemed
approved. Any rejection of any proposed use of a Licensed Mark must state in
reasonable detail the basis for such rejection. All disputes regarding the
reasonableness of any party's determination to withhold consent or approval
hereunder shall be subject to review pursuant to Section 10.19.

10.19 DETERMINATION OF REASONABLENESS. (a) If the Parties dispute the
reasonableness of any action taken or approval or consent given or withheld by
either Party under any provision of this Agreement where a standard of
reasonableness is required, the Parties will use their commercially reasonable
best efforts to resolve the dispute on an informal basis through negotiations
between the Chief Executive Officers of each Party. The Chief Executive Officers
will have a period of 5 working days in which to attempt to resolve the dispute,
unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. The allotted time for the first level
negotiation will begin on the date of receipt of a notice invoking this Section
10.19(a). In the event that the parties cannot resolve this dispute through
negotiation, the parties agree that the dispute may be submitted to final and
binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") or
its successor, pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sec. 1 et
seq. Either party may commence the arbitration process by filing a written
demand for arbitration with the AAA, with a copy to the other party. The
arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of AAA's
Commercial Arbitration Rules (Expedited Procedures) in effect at the time of
filing of the demand for arbitration. The parties will cooperate with AAA and
with one another in selecting a sole arbitrator who is independent of the
parties from AAA's panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the arbitration
proceedings. The arbitrator will be an attorney at law with at least 15 years in
practice, who is a partner of a major law firm, and with experience in trademark
licensing. If the parties fail to perform their obligations in the selection of
the independent arbitrator, either party may request AAA to appoint the
arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of the applicable AAA's arbitration
rules. The parties agree to make



written submissions to the arbitrator within 10 days after the arbitrator is
selected. The arbitrator's authority will be limited expressly to determining
the disputed item presented to the arbitrator and whether the costs of the
arbitration are to be shared equally by the parties, allocated all to one or
otherwise shared between them, and the arbitrator will have no power or
authority of any kind to determine, or to make any recommendation regarding, any
other matter (including, without limitation, the scope of or any right to
terminate the License). The arbitrator will render his or her determination
within 10 days after such submissions and such hearings as the arbitrator will
determine to hold. The arbitrator will render the determination in a signed
written arbitration award. The place of arbitration will be such place as the
parties will agree, or if they fail to agree within 10 days, in New York City at
a neutral location (i.e., the arbitrator's office). The parties covenant that
they will participate in the arbitration in good faith. All determinations by
the arbitrator will be final and nonappealable. The provisions of this paragraph
may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a dispute as to whether any
failure by Licensor to provide its approval in connection with Section 4.2(a),
(b) or (c) was reasonable, the Parties will use their commercially reasonable
best efforts to resolve the dispute on an informal basis through negotiations
between the Chief Executive Officers of each Party. The Chief Executive Officers
will have a period of 5 working days in which to attempt to resolve the dispute,
unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. The allotted time for the first level
negotiation will begin on the date of receipt of a notice invoking this Section
10.19(b). In the event that the parties cannot resolve this dispute through
negotiation, the parties agree that the dispute may be submitted to final and
binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator who is independent of the parties.
The parties agree that the arbitrator will be selected from the list attached as
SCHEDULE H in the order of availability as indicated. The parties agree to make
written submissions to the arbitrator within 10 days after the arbitrator is
selected. The arbitrator's authority will be limited expressly to determining
the disputed item presented to the arbitrator and whether the costs of the
arbitration are to be shared equally by the parties, allocated all to one or
otherwise shared between them, and the arbitrator will have no power or
authority of any kind to determine, or to make any recommendation regarding, any
other matter (including, without limitation, the scope of or any right to
terminate the License). The arbitrator will render his or her determination
within 10 days after such submissions and such hearings as the arbitrator will
determine to hold. The arbitrator will render the determination in a signed
written arbitration award. The place of arbitration will be such place as the
parties will agree, or if they fail to agree within 10 days, in New York City at
a neutral location (i.e., the arbitrator's office). The parties covenant that
they will participate in the arbitration in good faith. All determinations by
the arbitrator will be final and nonappealable. The provisions of this paragraph
may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

10.20 CONFLICTS. In the event of any conflict between any provision of this
Agreement and any sublicense agreement or customer agreement entered pursuant to
this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the terms of this
Agreement shall prevail. Furthermore, the parties agree and acknowledge that
nothing contained in the Pre-Approved Form or the Pre-Approved Customer
Agreement is intended to modify, change, amend or alter any of the rights,
restrictions, obligations or other provisions contained in this Agreement.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have, through their duly authorized
representatives, executed this Agreement on the Effective Date.
