payments under this Section 5 will be due within forty-five (45) days following the achievement of each of the accomplishments set forth above pursuant to the terms set
forth in Section 9 below.

6.Royalty on Licensed Products.

(a)Calculation of Royalty Fees.    In addition to the payments provided in Sections 4 and 5, Company will
pay to Licensor in U.S. Dollars a fee ("Royalty Fee") of [*]% of the Net Sales of Licensed Products sold by Company directly or through its Distributors or Sublicensees during
the Contract Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Royalty Fee shall also be payable as provided herein for any Licensed Products sold during 2003 or in accordance with
Section 12(b).

(b)Payment of Royalty Fee.    Company will account for and pay the Royalty Fee to Licensor within
forty-five (45) days following the end of each fiscal quarter during the Contract Period beginning with the quarter ending January 31,
2004.Amounts not paid when due will accrue interest from the date due until paid at the rate of one and one-half percent
(11/2%) per month or the maximum interest permitted by applicable laws, whichever is less.

(c)Royalty Report.    Company will deliver to Licensor, at the time each Royalty Fee payment is due, an itemized
statement ("Royalty Report") (i) indicating the total amount of Net Sales of all Licensed Products shipped during the previous fiscal quarter, and (ii) showing the number of Licensed
Products sold by category of Product. Company will furnish the required Royalty Report to Licensor whether or not any Licensed Products have been sold during the relevant fiscal quarter. The receipt
or acceptance by Licensor of any Royalty Report or of any payments made under this Agreement will not preclude Licensor from questioning the correctness thereof at any time. Licensor reserves the
right to audit the calculation of Net Sales provided in the Royalty Report at its own expense, and Company will cooperate with the Licensor in any such audit request. Should such an audit reveal a
shortfall in the calculation of Net Sales and the Royalty Fee, Company will promptly pay to Licensor the amount of the shortfall and, if the shortfall exceeds six percent (6%) with respect to the
period under the audit, Company will reimburse Licensor for the Licensor's reasonable costs associated with the audit.

(d)Currency.    Whenever it becomes necessary under this Section 6 to convert a monetary amount from a
foreign currency to U.S. Dollars (whether for reporting, statements, or other purposes), such conversion will be made at the average of the currency exchange rates during the applicable reporting
period, as derived using the "FX History" Currency Tool, Interbank Rate, currently posted atwww.oanda.com("Conversion Tool"). A conversion for the
purpose of calculating a royalty payment pursuant to this Section 6 will be weighted according to the relative amount of net sales within each fiscal quarter. If the Conversion Tool is
discontinued or otherwise no longer available, the parties will use such other index or computation that replaces the Conversion Tool or otherwise will result in substantially the same conversion rate
as would be obtained by using the Conversion Tool.

8.Services of Licensor.(a) If Company desires to utilize the services of Sorenstam as a model in
connection with Company advertising to promote its Products or as a part of a special promotional

3

---

appearance
for the Company, Licensor agrees, at the request of Company to provide the services of Sorenstam for two (2) days per Contract Year as mutually agreed upon and at places reasonably
convenient to her schedule. Each day shall not exceed three (3) hours unless otherwise agreed upon, Company agrees that it will reimburse Licensor for all reasonable travel, lodging and meal
expenses incurred by Licensor or Sorenstam in connection with such services. In addition, Licensor agrees that Sorenstam will appear at Company's booth at the 2004 PGA Show in Orlando, Florida at an
agreed upon time. Licensor agrees to use its best efforts to cause Sorenstam to make similar appearances at the PGA Show in 2005 and 2006. Company further understands that failure to utilize services
of Sorenstam pursuant to this section shall not result in any reduction in payments to Licensor hereunder nor may the obligation to provide services be carried forward or backward to any Contract
Year. Licensor will also arrange for Sorenstam to make at least one visit to the Company's headquarters and will use its best efforts to cause Sorenstam to make annual visits to the Company's
headquarter during the Contract Term. The obligations of Licensor to provide services of Sorenstam hereunder are subject to the condition that payments to Licensor are current and up to date.

(b)   Should
Company use Sorenstam in television advertising to promote Company's Products, Company will make all applicable required union scale and pension and welfare
payments.

(c)   During
the Contract Period, Sorenstam shall wear Company Products at all professional golf events and at all media appearances where appropriate. It is agreed that the
logo or name of Company (the "Company Logo") shall be affixed to the left chest locations of all Company Products which Sorenstam wears, when she plays professional golf. Company agrees that it will
be responsible for, and the cost of, affixing the Company Logo on all such Outerwear. Company acknowledges that other locations on Sorenstam's Products are reserved for Licensor's other sponsors,
which Licensor agrees shall not exceed three other sponsors without the Company's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, Company understands that if
Sorenstam participates in a special team event where there is an official uniform, then Sorenstam is permitted to wear such uniform during such event (e.g., Solheim Cup, World Cup, etc.).

(d)   During
each Contract Year, Company shall supply Sorenstam with sufficient quantities of Company's Products (at least 100 pieces of golf apparel) which are entirely
suitable for Sorenstam's use in tournament competition so she can wear such apparel while she plays professional golf. Company agrees to pay all charges in connection with the delivery of Products to
Sorenstam, including shipping charges, air freight charges and customs charges. Company agrees to reimburse Sorenstam's authorized agent for all such reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection
with the transfer of Products and Clothing to Sorenstam.

(e)   The
Company wants to obtain Sorenstam's styling, design and fabrication suggestions for the Licensed Products before each season is finalized. The parties also want to
ensure that the Company can meet each season's schedule for the Company's manufacture and sale of the Licensed Products. The Company and Sorenstam shall work together to meet those objectives,
including affording Sorenstam with the right and opportunity to review and comment on the design, color, materials and style of the Product Line for each season. The parties will work together to
develop the best way to facilitate that review, and the Company will, in good faith, consider any suggestions by Sorenstam before finalizing the Product Line, with such review and consideration to
constitute Licensor's approval as contemplated herein.

9.Payments.Licensor may elect to have payments made by check, wire transfer, or bank transfer. Unless such
election has been made in writing, all payments to be made by Company to Licensor under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer (with no deductions in wire transfer

under law, whichever is less. All amounts herein are in United States Dollars.

Suite 100, Cleveland, Ohio 44114, Attention: Mark Steinberg as its authorized agent for all purposes hereunder. All notices or submissions to be made or delivered Company to Licensor pursuant

authorized agent, Company agrees to make prompt reimbursement. All notices or submissions to be made or delivered to the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to 701 North

11.Default.(a) If either party at any time during the Contract Period shall (i) fail to make any
payment of any sum of money herein specified to be made, or (ii) fail to observe or perform any of the covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder (other than the payment of money), the
nondefaulting party may terminate this Agreement as follows: as to (i) if such payment is not made within ten (10) business days after the defaulting party shall have received written
notice of such failure to make payment, or as to (ii) if such other default is not cured within thirty (30) days after the defaulting party shall have received written notice specifying
in reasonable detail the nature of such default. In order to be a sufficient notice hereunder, any such written notice shall specify in detail each item of default and shall specify the provision of
this Agreement which applies to each item of default, and shall specify in detail the action the defaulting party is required to take in order to cum each item of default. The termination rights set
forth in this section shall not constitute the exclusive remedy of the nondefaulting party hereunder, however, and if default is made by either party hereunder, the other may resort to such other
remedies as said party would have been entitled to if this section had been omitted from this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Termination under the provisions of this section shall
be without prejudice to any rights or claims which the terminating party may otherwise have against the defaulting party, and if Company is the defaulting party, Company shall be responsible for any
and all payments due under the terms of this Agreement in addition to other liabilities set forth above.

Company or otherwise, the Contract Period shall, at the election of Licensor, immediately terminate.

5

---

(b)   (i) As
long as the Company is not in material breach of the Company's obligations hereunder, and the quantities involved are not unreasonable in amount in the
commercial context of this Agreement, Company may liquidate and sell its inventory of Licensed Products (including any inventory then in production) for a period of one hundred and eighty
(180) days after the termination date of the Contract Period, subject to the Company's continued obligation to pay the Royalty Fee as provided in Section 6 above, and will deliver the
Royalty Report with respect to such liquidation sales within forty-five (45) days following the end of such 180-day period.

for trademark registration or otherwise obtain or attempt to obtain ownership of any trademark or trade name within the Contract Territory or in any other country of the world which consists of the
Sorenstam Identification or any mark, design or logo intended to obtain any rights to Sorenstam Identification or to identify products as being endorsed by Sorenstam. In the event that, prior to
commencement of the Contract Period, Company has filed one or more applications for registration of any such trademark, or otherwise has obtained any rights to such trademark, Company agrees to cause
such applications and/or trademarks to be assigned and transferred to Licensor forthwith.

14.Reservation of Rights.All rights not herein specifically granted to Company shall remain the property of

nature or image of Company Products.

agent or any of them, from and against any and all expenses, damages, claims, suits, actions, judgments and costs whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of, or in any way
connected with, actions or omissions of Company, any advertising material famished by, or an behalf of, Company or my claim or action for personal injury, death or other cause of action involving
alleged defects in Company's Products or services. Company agrees to provide and maintain, at its own expense, general commercial and, product liability insurance with limits no less then $3,000,000
and naming Licensor and Sorenstam as additional named insureds. Within thirty (30) days from the date hereof, Company will submit to Licensor evidence of such policy, requiring that the insurer
shall not terminate or materially modify such without written notice to Licensor at least twenty (20) days in advance, thereof.

16.Special Right of Termination.Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice
to Licensor if the commercial value of the Sorenstam Identification is substantially reduced because Sorenstam (i) has been charged with illegal or immoral conduct which could result in a
felony conviction and such charges have not been dismissed or terminated within ninety (90) days; or (ii) fails an officially sanctioned drug test or is criminally convicted of any
felony or drug related offense. Any termination pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective on the 30th day next following the date of receipt by Licensor of Company's written notice to so

expenses, damages or other liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with the performance or nonperformance of any term or provision hereof, Licensor's
liability to Company shall not exceed the remuneration, excluding reimbursement of expenses, actually paid to Licensor by Company. In no event will Licensor be liable for any indirect, incidental,
reliance, special or consequential damages arising out of the performance or nonperformance of this Agreement, whether or not Licensor had been advised of the possibility of such damages. It is
understood that Sorenstam is not a party hereto and has no liability hereunder but is an intended specific third party creditor beneficiary hereof.

19.Waiver.The failure of either party at any time or times to demand strict performance by the other of any of
the terms, covenants or conditions set forth herein shall not be construed as a continuing waiver or relinquishment thereof and each may at any time demand strict and complete performance by the other
of said terms, covenants and conditions. Any waiver of such rights must be set forth in writing.

20.Severability.If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared illegal, invalid, void or unenforceable
by any judicial or administrative authority, the validity of any other provision and of the entire Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

successors and assigns.

with, the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its principals of conflicts of laws. In the event a dispute arises under this agreement which cannot be resolved, such dispute shall be submitted
to arbitration and resolved by a single arbitrator (who shall be a lawyer not employed by or associated with either party to this agreement) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association then in effect. All such arbitration shall take place at the office of the American Arbitration Association located in Cleveland, Ohio. Each party is entitled to
depose one (1) fact witness and any expert witness retained by the other party, and to conduct such other discovery as the arbitrator deems appropriate. The award or decision rendered by the
arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive and judgment may be entered upon such award by any court.

23.Significance of Headings.Section headings contained herein are solely for the purpose of aiding in speedy
location of subject matter and are not in any sense to be given weight in the construction of this Agreement. Accordingly, in case of any question with respect to the construction of this Agreement,
it is to be construed as though such section headings had been omitted.

24.No Joint Venture.This Agreement does not constitute and shall not be construed as constituting an
association, partnership, joint venture or relationship of principal and agent or employer and employee between Licensor and Company. Neither party shall have any right to obligate or bind the other
party in any manner whatsoever, and, except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein contained shall give, or is intended to give, any rights of any kind to any person.
