upon Company’s obtaining, at a minimum, a 25% gross margin on such order. In the

shipment cut off date is the last day of each month. Simultaneous with payment
of any monthly commission, Company shall provide LF with an accounting,

shall be economy class on flights under two (2) hours and business class on

9.            Stock Transfer. As a material inducement to Consultant to enter
into this Agreement with Company, Company shall cause Jacques Ninio (“Ninio”),
the holder of at least 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, to
transfer his ownership in two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000)
restricted shares of common stock of Company (the “Shares”) to LF or such third
party as LF shall direct, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (except
only as provided below), without any additional payment required of LF, pursuant
to the following terms and conditions:

Prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall cause Ninio to deposit all of the
Shares (evidenced by thirteen (13) share certificates) with Michael C. Baum
(“Escrow Agent”), who shall act as escrow agent and release the Shares only as
set forth herein, pursuant to an Escrow Agreement in the form of Exhibit “A”
hereto. The Company shall also cause Ninio to execute and deliver to Escrow
Agent a power of attorney, stock powers and such other instruments of transfer
as may be reasonably required by Escrow Agent or Consultant in order for
Consultant to obtain ownership of the Shares.

 

(a)

Escrow Agent shall transfer to Consultant the Shares as follows:

 

i.

Escrow Agent shall transfer 100,000 shares on the Effective Date and thereafter
on the first day of each consecutive month, and ending on and including May 1,
2008 up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares, which shares shall be deemed vested
and released to LF or its designee on the date of each transfer.

 

ii.

Escrow Agent shall transfer 500,000 shares to LF or its designee upon meeting
the First Year Sales Target, by no later than March 1, 2009. In the event that
LF and Consultant fail to meet the First Year Sales Target, the number of shares
transferred to LF shall be proportionally reduced based on LF’s and Consultant’s
Net Sales as compared to the First Year Sales Target.

 

iii.

Escrow Agent shall transfer 500,000 shares to LF or its designee upon meeting
the Second Year Sales Target, by no later than March 1, 2010. In the event that
LF or Consultant fails to meet the Second Year Sales Target, the number of
shares transferred to Consultant shall be proportionally reduced based on LF’s
or Consultant’s Net Sales as compared to the Second Year Sales Target.

 

iv.

Escrow Agent shall transfer 500,000 shares to LF or its designee upon meeting
the Third Year Sales Target, by no later than March 1, 2011. In the event that

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

based on LF’s or Consultant’s Net Sales as compared to the Third Year Sales
Target.

 

v.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections (b) (ii), (iii) and (iv) above,
Company shall calculate the Net Sales of the Junior Division and Contemporary
Knit Division on a cumulative basis and transfer the Shares to LF or its
designee on a cumulative basis during the term of this Agreement, such that if
LF or Consultant shall have exceeded the Sales Target in any given year and in a
prior year LF or Consultant had failed to meet the Sales Target (Deficit Year),
then the excess sales in the subsequent year(s) shall be added to the Deficit
Year. The number of shares to be transferred to LF or its designee in the
Deficit Year shall be recalculated at the conclusion of any year in which there
was an excess and sales beyond the Sales Target and Escrow Agent shall transfer
the shares based on the recalculated sales to LF or its designee. Likewise, in
the event that LF or Consultant shall have exceeded the Sales Target(s) and
there shall have been no prior Deficit Year, then the excess sales should be
added to the next subsequent year to determine net sales.

 

(b)

All transfers of stock into escrow and/or to LF or its designee shall be

subject to applicable securities law and restrictions, and LF and its designee
agrees to be bound thereby; provided that Company shall not take any action or
permit Escrow Agent or Ninio to take any action that would impose additional
restrictions on the Shares. LF agrees that the only permitted designee under
this Agreement is Consultant.

 

 

(c)

LF acknowledges and agrees that as between Company and LF or its

designee, they are solely responsible for payment of any tax liabilities or
obligations related to, or arising from the transfer of the Shares to them as
set forth herein and that Company shall not have any obligation or liability
whatsoever to LF or its designee for federal or state income taxes relating to
such transfer; provided that LF or its designee shall not have any
responsibility for any tax liabilities or obligations that may be imposed on
Ninio or Escrow Agent with respect to the Shares.

(d)        In the event that this Agreement is terminated for cause by Company,
all shares which remain in Escrow and which have not been actually earned by LF
or its designee shall be immediately cancelled as of the date of termination.

(e)        LF or its designee will have piggyback registration rights for all
shares owned by them at any time.

(f)        LF or its designee will have anti-dilution rights of the same kind
and to the same extent as the Chief Executive Officer of Company does with
respect to their shares of Company.

Arbitration of Disputes and Equitable Relief.

 

(a)

Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 18(b) below, LF and

Consultant and Company each agrees that any dispute or controversy arising out
of or relating to any interpretation, construction, enforcement, performance or
breach of this Agreement, including the arbitrability of any dispute hereunder,
shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in Los Angeles, California
pursuant to the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure Section
1290, et. seq. before a neutral arbitrator selected by the mutual agreement of
the parties. The neutral arbitrator shall be a retired judge or justice of the
California Superior Court or Court of Appeal. If the parties are unable to agree
upon a neutral arbitrator, one shall be appointed by the court pursuant to
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.6. The decision of the neutral
arbitrator shall be final and subject to confirmation as a judgment pursuant to,
among other things, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1285, et. seq.
The neutral arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the State of
California and evidence taken at the arbitration shall be governed by, and in
compliance with, the provisions of the California Evidence Code. The neutral
arbitrator shall make a written award which disposes of all of the claims and
which includes a concise statement of reasons for the award and states the
essential findings and conclusions upon which the award is based. In connection
with the arbitration, the parties agree to (a) exchange relevant documents prior
to the arbitration hearing; (b) exchange identities of witnesses prior to the
arbitration hearing; and (c) each party shall be entitled to depositions of
witnesses or potential witnesses whose testimony is relevant or likely to lead
to the discovery of relevant evidence or information, upon application to the
arbitrator. The award of the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced as a
judgment. The cost of the neutral arbitrator shall be borne equally by both
parties subject to the provisions of Section 21 below, and the rights of the
prevailing party to recover costs at the conclusion of arbitration to be
determined by the arbitrator.

 

(b)

Equitable Remedies. LF and Consultant acknowledge that if either of

them shall breach or violate, among other things, his covenants in Section 14
hereof, it may be impossible to measure in money the damages which would be
suffered by Company. Accordingly, LF and Consultant agree that if either of them
shall breach or violate any of such covenants or obligations, Company shall have
the full right to seek injunctive relief in addition to any other existing
rights existing provided in this Agreement or by operation of law. The
provisions of Section 14 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
This paragraph is not intended to, and does not limit or prohibit Company, LF or
Consultant from seeking injunctive relief or obtaining a provisional remedy for
any other breach or violation of the Agreement.
