                                LICENSE AGREEMENT
                                -----------------


         This LICENSE AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made and entered into effective
as of December 1, 2000 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), between MOSSIMO, INC., a Delaware
corporation having its principal business office at 2016 Broadway, Santa Monica,
California 90404 ("MOSSIMO"), and CONFITALIA. S.A. de C.V., a Mexican
corporation having its principal place of business at Km. 0.5 Carretera
Cuernavaca-Cuautla, Colonia Flores Magon, C.P. 62370, Cuernavaca, Morelos,
Mexico ("LICENSEE").

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

         A. A glossary of certain terms used with initial capital letters and
other terms defined for purposes of this Agreement is set forth in Exhibit "A"
attached hereto.

         B. MOSSIMO is the owner and exclusive licensor of the Marks and
Property.

         C. LICENSEE desires to secure the right and license to use the Marks
and Property in connection with the design, manufacture, advertisement,
promotion, distribution and sale of Licensed Products.

         D. MOSSIMO is willing to grant LICENSEE a license on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals, premises and mutual
covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT
                                    ---------

                               SECTION 1. LICENSE

         1.1 GRANT AND TERRITORY. For the Term and subject to the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement, MOSSIMO hereby grants to LICENSEE a limited,
exclusive, nontransferable right and license to use the Licensed Rights solely
on or in connection with (a) the design of Licensed Products, (b) the
manufacture of Licensed Products anywhere in the world for distribution in the
Territory, and (b) the distribution of Licensed Products only throughout the
Territory. The Licensed Rights may not be used in connection with the design,
manufacture, advertisement, promotion, distribution, sale or other use of any
other product or service. Nothing herein shall entitle LICENSEE to advertise,
promote or distribute goods outside the Territory.

         1.2 SUBLICENSES. This Agreement does not confer upon LICENSEE, a right
to sublicense any of the rights or licenses granted to LICENSEE under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to manufacture the Licensed
Products using the Licensed Rights. Such rights may be granted at MOSSIMO's sole
discretion and only in writing from MOSSIMO to LICENSEE.

         1.3 USE OF LICENSED RIGHTS. LICENSEE acknowledges that it may be
difficult for MOSSIMO to obtain registered title to all of its Licensed Rights
in the Territory and that the rights and licenses granted under this Agreement

<PAGE>

only exist to the extent that MOSSIMO owns such Licensed Rights. LICENSEE shall
not use the Licensed Rights in any manner that conflicts with the rights of any
third party. If LICENSEE's use of the Licensed Rights infringes the rights of
any third party or weakens or impairs MOSSIMO's rights in the Licensed Rights,
as determined solely by MOSSIMO, then LICENSEE shall immediately terminate or
modify such use in accordance with MOSSIMO's instructions.

         1.4 ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE THE TERRITORY. LICENSEE shall not, directly or
indirectly, solicit sales of the Licensed Products outside the Territory or
establish a place of business for the sale of the Licensed Products outside the
Territory without the prior written consent of MOSSIMO. LICENSEE shall not sell
or cause to be sold, directly or indirectly, any Licensed Products to any person
that LICENSEE knows, or has reason to know, is likely to resell or distribute
such Licensed Products outside the Territory.

         1.5 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship between MOSSIMO and
LICENSEE is that of licensor and licensee of intellectual property tights. In
its capacity as licensee, LICENSEE shall be acting only as an independent
contractor, and not as a partner, co-venturer, agent, employee or representative
of MOSSIMO. Accordingly, LICENSEE shall have no authority, either express or
implied, to make any commitment or representation on behalf of MOSSIMO or incur
any debt or obligation on behalf of MOSSIMO. The parties acknowledge that this
Agreement does not constitute a franchise under United States federal or state
law and does not create a fiduciary relationship between the parties.

                                 SECTION 2. TERM

          2.1 TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective
Date and shall continue until in full force and effect until December 31, 2003,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the "TERM").

          2.2 NONEXCLUSIVE LICENSE. Unless the parties otherwise agree in
writing, during the three months prior to the expiration or termination of the
Agreement, MOSSIMO may directly or through a new licensee begin designing,
manufacturing, promoting, distributing and taking orders for Licensed Products
for the retailing seasons that will occur in the Territory after the expiration
or termination of the Term.

                            SECTION 3. MANUFACTURING

         3.1 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF STANDARDS AND GOODWILL. LICENSEE acknowledges
that MOSSIMO has made a substantial investment in developing and manufacturing
Licensed Products of high quality and design and developing and fostering an
image and reputation of high quality, design, prestige and integrity under its
Marks and Property and that the consuming public and industry now associate the
Marks and Property with products of consistently high quality and design.
LICENSEE further acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Agreement
are reasonable and necessary to assure that all Licensed Products sold under
this Agreement consistently conform to MOSSIMO's high quality and design
standards.

         3.2 MANUFACTURING STANDARDS. LICENSEE shall manufacture all of the
Licensed Products in accordance with the high quality and design standards
prescribed by MOSSIMO. In this regard, LICENSEE shall exercise its best efforts

                                       2
<PAGE>

to cooperate with MOSSIMO at all times in the coordination of Licensed Products
manufactured by LICENSEE so that they are consistent with the style, image,
design and quality of other products sold under the Licensed Rights. If any
Licensed Products manufactured by LICENSEE fail to conform to such standards,
then MOSSIMO may prohibit LICENSEE from using any Licensed Rights in connection
with such non-conforming Licensed Products. Upon notice to LICENSEE, LICENSEE
shall immediately discontinue any and all manufacture, sourcing, advertising,
promotion, offerings for sale, sales, shipment, distribution and all other uses
of such non-conforming Licensed Products.

         3.3 LICENSE COLLECTION SUMMARY. Within 30 days after the Effective
Date, and thereafter on the first day of each Contract Year of this Agreement,
LICENSEE shall submit to MOSSIMO a License Collection Summary Form containing
the information set forth in Exhibit "B", attached hereto, as modified by
MOSSIMO from time to time.

         3.4 PREPRODUCTION SAMPLES. As early as possible, and in any event prior
to the commencement of each selling season, LICENSEE shall furnish to MOSSIMO,
at no expense to MOSSIMO, one preproduction sample of each Licensed Product that
LICENSEE intends to manufacture under the Licensed Rights, together with a
completed Licensed Product Approval Form and Fabric and/or Color Approval Form
and completed line sheets for each season in the forms required by EXHIBIT "C"
attached hereto, as modified by MOSSIMO from time to time. MOSSIMO shall have
the right to exercise quality control and line content over the Licensed
Products manufactured for and sold by LICENSEE by making any changes or
corrections in such samples as may be required, in MOSSIMO's sole determination,
to maintain the high quality and design standards prescribed by MOSSIMO, and
LICENSEE shall make and incorporate such changes or corrections at LICENSEE's
sole cost and expense. LICENSEE shall not make any changes to any sample after
approval by MOSSIMO without resubmitting the sample for approval.

         3.5 PRODUCTION SAMPLES. As soon as possible after completion of the
first production run of each Licensed Product (and in any event less than two
weeks after completion of such production run), LICENSEE shall furnish to
MOSSIMO, at no expense to MOSSIMO, two production samples of the complete line
taken from the first production run of such Licensed Product together with the
tags, labels and packaging to be used in connection with such Licensed Product.
MOSSIMO shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to approve or
disapprove of such production samples. Each Licensed Product, tag label and
packaging must conform to the samples approved by MOSSIMO. LICENSEE shall not
change any Licensed Product, tag label or packaging without resubmitting samples
for such Licensed Product, tag label or packaging for approval pursuant to
Section 3.4. If MOSSIMO rejects any sample, LICENSEE shall discontinue the
production of the Licensed Product and shall neither use nor permit the same to
be used in any manner and shall coordinate with MOSSIMO, at LICENSEE's sole
expense, to make changes and corrections to conform the Licensed Product to the
high quality and design standards prescribed by MOSSIMO and shall resubmit a
sample for approval pursuant to Section 3.4. In addition, to ensure consistent
quality of production runs, L1CENSEE shall furnish to MOSSIMO, at no expense to
MOSSIMO, two additional production samples of Licensed Products in any given
season as MOSSIMO may, from time to time, request for the purpose of comparison
with earlier samples. If MOSSIMO requires more than two such additional samples
in any given season, LICENSEE shall provide such excess additional samples

                                       3
<PAGE>

to MOSSIMO at LICENSEE's regular wholesale price, reduced by any normal trade
discounts given by LICENSEE for sample sales. If MOSSIMO should disapprove any
sample Licensed Product, or any sample tag, label, packaging or the like, or any
advertising, promotional or publicity material, LICENSEE shall neither use nor
permit the same to be used in any manner.

         3.6 THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURERS. LICENSEE shall have the right to have
the Licensed Products manufactured for LICENSEE by third party manufacturers;
provided that LICENSEE must (a) reasonably determine that each third party
manufacturer (and its subcontractors) are capable of manufacturing the Licensed
Products strictly in accordance with this Agreement and that each third party
manufacturer understands that the Licensed Rights are proprietary and that the
manufacturer is prohibited from using any of the Licensed Rights to produce
knock-offs or private label versions of the Licensed Products or to infringe or
assist others in infringing any of the Licensed Rights; (b) submit information
concerning the proposed third party manufacturer (and its subcontractors) to
MOSSIMO for its review and prior written approval of the manufacturer; and (c)
cause the third party manufacturer to enter into a manufacturing agreement in a
form required by MOSSIMO. LICENSEE's purchase of Licensed Products from a third
party manufacturer without the prior approval of MOSSIMO shall constitute a
material breach of this Agreement. LICENSEE shall terminate its use of any third
party manufacturer which fails to manufacture the Licensed Products strictly in
accordance with this Agreement or which uses any of the Licensed Rights other
than to manufacture Licensed Products solely for LICENSEE in accordance with
this Agreement.

                         SECTION 4. DUTIES OF LICENSEE

         4.1 BEST EFFORTS. LICENSEE shall exercise its best efforts vigorously
and effectively to market, promote, distribute and sell the Licensed Products
within the Territory and to fill completely the demand for the Licensed Products
within the Territory. Without limitation, LICENSEE shall have preproduction
samples of the Licensed Products for its initial season ready to show MOSSIMO by
the dates set forth in its License Collection Summary Form, shall begin taking
orders from customers for items included in the Licensed Products by the
Marketing Date and shall have items included in the Licensed Products ready to
ship to customers in substantial quantities by the Shipping Date. Thereafter,
LICENSEE shall adhere to the schedule set forth in its License Collection
Summary Form for the applicable Contract Year.

         4.2 Customers of LICENSEE. In order to protect and foster the value,
image and reputation of the Licensed Products and Licensed Rights, LICENSEE
shall only sell the Licensed Products outright (and not on approval,
consignment, guaranteed sale or return or as part of a promotional tie-in or
give-away) and only to retail outlets, including duty-free shops, in the
Territory whose location, merchandising and overall operations are consistent
with the high quality of the Licensed Products and the reputation, prestige and
image of the Marks (collectively, the "AUTHORIZED RETAILERS"). LICENSEE shall
submit a current list of Authorized Retailers with each License Collection
Summary Form.

         4.3 SECONDS. LICENSEE shall not sell any damaged, imperfect,
substandard quality or defective goods ("SECONDS") under the Marks without the
prior written approval of MOSSIMO. All Seconds approved for sale shall be marked
"Seconds" or "Irregular," and all Seconds not sold pursuant to this Section 4.3
shall be destroyed.

                                       4
<PAGE>

         4.4 HANDLING OF ORDERS. LICENSEE shall manufacture and ship all
confirmed orders for Licensed Products by the specified delivery date or, if
none is specified, within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the
order. LICENSEE shall not withhold acceptance of any reasonable orders or refuse
orders for Licensed Products from MOSSIMO or from Authorized Retailers with
credit approval, without prior notice to MOSSIMO. In addition, if LICENSEE fails
to ship at least seventy-five percent (75%) of confirmed orders during any two
consecutive selling seasons in accordance with this Section 4.4, MOSSIMO, at is
sole election, may, by written notice of its election, (a) appoint other
licensees in the Territory for such period or periods and in such volume as
MOSSIMO determines is necessary to meet the unfulfilled demand; or (b) terminate
this Agreement immediately effective upon receipt of the written election.

         4.5 STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE IN ACTIVITIES. LICENSEE shall at all times
act in a manner consistent with the highest standards of fair trade, fair
competition and business ethics.

         4.6 INVENTORY. LICENSEE shall maintain a sufficient inventory of the
Licensed Products to enable it to promote the Licensed Products and to service
the needs and demands of its customers within the Territory.

         4.7 FACILITIES AND PERSONNEL. LICENSEE, at its own expense, shall
maintain facilities and personnel adequate to source, market, promote, sell and
deliver the Licensed Products within the Territory.

         4.8 INSPECTIONS. LICENSEE shall permit MOSSIMO and its employees,
agents or other representatives to visit LICENSEE's facilities during normal
business hours, without prior notice, for the purposes of inspecting or
modifying the Licensed Products, inspecting the facilities and any display
of products, inspecting promotional materials and advertising for the Licensed
Products and otherwise determining whether LICENSEE is complying with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. LICENSEE shall cooperate fully with MOSSIMO's
representatives during such visits by rendering such assistance as they may
reasonably request.

         4.9 INSURANCE. Upon execution of this Agreement and throughout the
Term, LICENSEE, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain in full
force and effect a policy of insurance insuring against those risks customarily
insured under comprehensive general liability policies, including without
limitation, "product liability" and "completed operations." Such policies of
insurance shall have endorsements or coverage with combined single limits of not
less than United States Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) and shall name MOSSIMO

of this Agreement, a royalty on each sale of a Licensed Product equal to four
percent (4%) of Net Sales.

         5.2 MINIMUM PERFORMANCE AND QUARTERLY PAYMENT. In order to induce
MOSSIMO to enter into this Agreement, as well as to demonstrate its good faith
intent to satisfy the demand for Licensed Products in the Territory, and to
enhance further the image and reputation of the Licensed Rights among consumers,
LICENSEE shall perform as follows. During each calendar quarter of each Contract
Year of this Agreement, LICENSEE shall ship not less than the minimum dollar

actual Royalty for all sales of Licensed Products during such quarter ("ACTUAL
ROYALTY PAYMENT") or (b) a minimum payment equal to four percent (4%) of the
Minimum Quarterly Shipment for such quarter ("MINIMUM QUARTERLY PAYMENT"). Any
amount by which the Actual Royalty Payment exceeds the Minimum Quarterly Payment
shall not be credited toward the Minimum Quarterly Payment in any subsequent
quarter or Contract Year. Notwithstanding the payment by LICENSEE of the Minimum
Quarterly Payment, if LICENSEE does meet the Minimum Quarterly Shipment
requirement in any two calendar quarters in any Contract Year for any reason,
then MOSSIMO shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement.

         5.3 PAYMENTS.

                  (a) QUARTERLY PAYMENTS. The greater of the Actual Royalty
Payment or the Minimum Quarterly Payment shall be due and payable to MOSSIMO by

pursuant to Section 5.3(a), LICENSEE shall provide to MOSSIMO a written
statement illustrating the calculation of the Actual Royalty Payment, regardless
of whether the Actual Royalty Payment is less than the Minimum Quarterly
Payment. The statement shall be certified on affidavit, under penalty of
perjury, by an officer of LICENSEE to be correct and shall set forth a detailed
accounting of the calculation of the Actual Royalty Payment on a Statement of
Royalties

                                       6
<PAGE>

(International) Form in the form of EXHIBIT "E" attached hereto, as modified by
MOSSIMO from time to time. The Statement of Royalties shall include, without
limitation, the aggregate number and Net Sales of all Licensed Products during
each month of the calendar quarter, broken down by purchaser, including the
identity of each Authorized Retailer, which shall be calculated both in the
currency in which each transaction occurred and as converted into United States
Dollars as required to calculate Net Sales. The Statement of Royalties shall
also provide an accounting of the invoice price for all sales of Licensed
Products, Discounted Products, Allowances, Markdowns, Trade Discounts,
Closeouts, and substandard merchandise, all advertising and promotional
expenditures by LICENSEE, all returned merchandise and all confirmed, accepted
orders (i) delivered by completion date specified in the order, (ii) delivered

                  (c) MANNER. All payments required under this Agreement shall

shall specify.

                  (d) LATE PAYMENTS. If LICENSEE fails to pay (by direct deposit
for MOSSIMO's account, duly delivered check or confirmed wire delivery of funds)
any payment due under this Agreement on or before the due date thereof, then the
delinquent amount shall bear interest at a rate of one percent (1.0%) per month
from the due date until paid; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if this rate exceeds the
maximum rate allowable by law, then interest shall accrue at the maximum rate
allowable by law.

                  (e) NO WAIVER. Acceptance by MOSSIMO of any payments under
this Agreement shall not prevent MOSSIMO at any later date from disputing the
amount owed or from demanding more information from LICENSEE regarding payments
finally due, and such acceptance of any payment by MOSSIMO shall not constitute
a waiver of any breach of any term or provision of this Agreement by LICENSEE if
any such breach shall have occurred.

         5.4 MONTHLY SALES REPORT. By no later than 20 days after the end of
each of the first two months in each calendar quarter, LICENSEE shall submit to
MOSSIMO a report that contains all of the information required by MOSSIMO's
Monthly Sales Report Form as modified by MOSSIMO from time to time.

(c) LICENSEE's use of the Licensed Rights shall inure only to the benefit of
MOSSIMO.

         7.2 NEW PROPERTY. LICENSEE acknowledges that, during the Term, new
designs, styles or other items of the type included in the definition of
"Property" (hereinafter referred to as "NEW PROPERTY") may be developed jointly
by LICENSEE and others or solely by LICENSEE. LICENSEE further acknowledges
that: (a) such New Property will most likely be based upon the image, style and
look MOSSIMO has created and will become associated with and not be distinctive
of the Marks; (b) significant design input will most likely be received from
MOSSIMO in creating the New Property; (c) it is often difficult to identify
precisely the creator or inventor of such New Property; and (d) in order to
maintain the distinctiveness of all products sold under the Marks, it is
important that MOSSIMO coordinate and control the use of New Property.

Property and LICENSEE hereby assigns to MOSSIMO all right, title and interest in
such New Property as it may possess or acquire, including future copyrights in
respect of such New Property. For purposes of this Agreement, all New Property
shall be treated as Property as defined in this Agreement and shall be part of
the Licensed Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no new design, style or
other item shall constitute New Property unless MOSSIMO determines, in its sole
discretion, that such design, style or other item is consistent with the image,
style and look of MOSSIMO and consents in writing to the inclusion of such
design, style or other item in its collection through a Licensed Product
Approval Form. LICENSEE shall not use the Marks or other Licensed Rights in
connection with any such design, style or other item unless MOSSIMO has given
such written consent. Upon MOSSIMO's request, LICENSEE shall provide to MOSSIMO,
or to any licensee of MOSSIMO, at no charge, copies of all designs and
specifications and, at wholesale price, copies of all samples constituting New

as a trade name, service mark, business name, trade style, fictitious business
name, d.b.a. or letterhead. Any unauthorized use shall inure solely to the
benefit of MOSSIMO, and such unauthorized use by LICENSEE shall not confer on
LICENSEE any right, title or interest in the Licensed Rights.

         7.5 REGISTRATION. LICENSEE shall not seek or obtain any registration of
the Marks (including any colorable imitations, translations or transliterations
thereof) or the Property in any name or participate directly or indirectly in
such registration anywhere in the world without MOSSIMO's prior written consent.
If LICENSEE has obtained or obtains in the future, in any country, any right,
title or interest in the Marks (including any colorable imitations, translations
or transliterations thereof) or the Property, or in any marks which are
confusingly similar to the Marks (including any colorable imitations,
translations or transliterations thereof) or the Property

attorneys or representatives, to be necessary to transfer such right, title or
interest to MOSSIMO. If the laws of the Territory require or permit the
registration of any Marks or Property. LICENSEE shall assist MOSSIMO in
obtaining such registration in a timely and effective manner.

of any such Third Party Claims. Subject to Section 7.7(b), LICENSEE shall take
all necessary action on account of such Third Party Claims to protect the
Licensed Rights. If LICENSEE initiate any legal proceedings on account of any
such Third Party Claim, MOSSIMO shall cooperate with and assist LICENSEE to the
extent reasonably necessary to protect the Licensed Rights (other than the
payment of fees and expenses by MOSSIMO). If MOSSIMO elects to participate in or
assume responsibility for any legal proceedings on account of any Third Party
Claim pursuant to Section 7.7(b), and/or if a third party licensee of MOSSIMO

Claim or to delegate responsibility to any third party licensee of MOSSIMO for
the legal proceedings for such Third Party Claim in any manner MOSSIMO
determines. Without limiting the foregoing, MOSSIMO, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may assume responsibility to settle the Third Party Claim in any
manner MOSSIMO

                                       11

determines, in its sole discretion, that it is not in the best interest of

proceedings which may be initiated.

                             SECTION 9. ADVERTISING

         9.1 MOSSIMO ADVERTISING. MOSSIMO may as it deems appropriate advertise
and promote certain products that bear the Marks and other MOSSIMO-related
trademarks ("MOSSIMO PRODUCTS") Licensed Products generally both within and
outside the Territory; however, MOSSIMO undertakes no obligation to ensure that
LICENSEE benefits directly from any promotion or placement of any advertising by
MOSSIMO. MOSSIMO will pay for all costs of advertising and promotion that
MOSSIMO does for MOSSIMO Products (except that MOSSIMO will not reimburse
LICENSEE for any expenses it incurs in connection with any such advertising or
promotion and shall not pay for LICENSEE's participation in trade shows).

         9.2 Contract Year Plan. LICENSEE shall prepare a business plan for each
Contract Year, including a manufacturing and production plan and an advertising
plan, and shall submit such Ian to MOSSIMO b no later than 30 days following
the date of the Agreement and thereafter by no later than the first day of each
Contract Year of the Agreement.

         9.3 LICENSEE PARTICIPATION IN TRADE SHOWS. LICENSEE, at its expense,
shall participate in trade shows as requested by MOSSIMO from time to time.
LICENSEE shall not participate in any trade shows for retail seasons that will
occur after the expiration of the Term with respect to the Licensed Products.

         9.4 PRIOR APPROVAL. LICENSEE shall submit to MOSSIMO, for its prior
comment and approval, samples of all advertising and other promotional plans and
materials that LICENSEE desires to use to promote the Licensed Products that
have not been prepared or previously approved by MOSSIMO, including, without
limitation, press releases and interviews for publication in any media. All
requests for approval shall be submitted on an Advertising Approval Form in the
form of EXHIBIT "G" attached hereto, as modified by MOSSIMO from time to time.

         9.5 MINIMUM ADVERTISING EXPENDITURES. During each Contract Year during
the Term, LICENSEE shall spend on advertising and public relations for the
MOSSIMO Marks and brand name promotion a minimum of two percent (2%) of the
amount that is the greater of (a) Net Sales or (b) the total amount of Minimum
Quarterly Shipments for such Contract Year ("MINIMUM ADVERTISING EXPENDITURE").
For purposes of this Section 9.5, costs associated with product packaging, and
costs associated with advertising and promoting the Licensed Products to the
trade, including without limitation, trade shows, press releases and catalogs
for the trade, are not advertising expenditures. Not later than 30 days after
the end of each calendar quarter, LICENSEE shall submit a report (using
MOSSIMO's Advertising Expenditure Form in the form of EXHIBIT "H" attached
hereto, as modified by MOSSIMO from time to time) showing LICENSEE's actual
advertising expenditures during the preceding calendar quarter, together with
advertising tear sheets for such quarter. If LICENSEE's actual advertising
expenditures during any Contract Year are less than the Minimum Advertising
Expenditure, at the option of MOSSIMO, LICENSEE shall either pay MOSSIMO the
difference or shall expend the difference on advertising during the current
Contract Year in such manner as directed by MOSSIMO.

LICENSEE may continue to sell such inventory before MOSSIMO notifies LICENSEE of
any option exercise and may sell any inventory not purchased by MOSSIMO on a
nonexclusive basis for 90 days from the Termination Date so long as such sales
are made solely to Authorized Retailers and will not in any way reflect
adversely on the image, reputation or goodwill of MOSSIMO or the Marks. After
such 90-day period, LICENSEE shall completely remove the Marks from any Licensed
Products not theretofore sold.

the invoice price of such transactions, for purposes of calculating Net Sales,
shall be the higher of (i) the invoice price charged by the affiliate who sells
the Licensed Product directly to a nonaffiliate or (ii) the actual invoice price
of the sale to the affiliate. LICENSEE shall convert its Net Sales and Royalty
