5.   Accounting Cooperation.

     In the mutual interest of accurate royalty accounting, the parties agree to
ensure that within 90 days of the Effective Date the Licensor's and Licensee's
royalty accounting personnel counterparts shall meet at Licensee's premises for
the purpose of Licensor better understanding the methodology of Licensee's
compilation and computation of the royalty accounts pursuant to the Speedo
Licenses including the calculation of royalties for Licensed Products sold in
the Retail Stores. Licensor's and Licensee's royalty accounting personnel shall
thereafter meet every 12 months or at such other time interval as the parties
shall mutually agree in writing. This is without limiting the obligations in
Clause 8 of the 1990 Licenses -- "Books and Records."

6.   Audit.

     Clause 8 of the 1990 Licenses is amended to add the following:

     "In the event that an inspection and audit of Licensee's books and records
under this provision results in a determination (as agreed upon by the parties
or as provided for under Clause 31 of the 1990 Licenses or judicially) of an
underpayment of four percent (4%) or more of total payments made by Licensee for
the period covered by the audit or inspection, Licensee shall promptly upon
receipt of written notice reimburse Licensor for the reasonable documented cost
of such inspection and audit."

7.   Clarification on Approvals.

     a. By way of clarification of Clause 11(d), (e), and (f) of the 1990
Licenses, all legends indicating that the Trade Marks (including unregistered
trade marks) are the property of the Licensor and manufactured under license
from the Licensor shall be stated visibly and prominently so as to identify that
the Licensor is the proprietary owner of such Trade Marks.

     b. With respect to Clause 11(h)(A) of the 1990 Licenses, all materials
(including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any label,
brochure, packaging, business card, letterhead, advertisement, point-of-sale and
publicity materials, telephone or other directory entry, sign, decal and
illumination ("Materials")) which are used or proposed to be used by the
Licensee containing or displaying any Trade Marks shall be submitted to the
Licensor for its approval in accordance with Clause 8 below.

     c. With respect to Clause 16 of the 1990 Licenses, not less than once every
six (6) months, and where reasonably possible prior to manufacture, Licensee
shall provide to Licensor CAD or photographs of similarly high quality of each
Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter ranges of Licensed Products together with
representative samples of such Licensed Products which the Licensee intends to
produce for such ranges so that Licensor may give reasonable direction to
Licensee as provided for by Clause 16 of the 1990 Licenses, in accordance with
Clause 8 below.


                                       3




<PAGE>

     d. Clauses b and c above shall take effect in relation to the range of
Licensed Products (and related Materials) which are compiled between 2003 and
2005 for showing in June 2005 (intended for sale until June 2005) except that:

     (i) swim wear, accessories and other products produced for and made
available by Licensee to athletes, swimmers and other persons in connection with
the 2004 Olympics in Athens (to the extent permitted by a national or Olympic
governing authority) must conform with the Brand Guidelines (in relation to this
clause d (i) the time periods provided for compliance with the Brand Guidelines,
in clause 16 below, shall not apply); and

     (ii) the Licensee agrees to consult in good faith with Licensor in relation
to the Licensed Products and Materials being developed for showing by Licensee
in June 2003 and June 2004.

8.   Housekeeping Clause.

     Subject to the provisions of Clause 7 d above, the Licensee shall ensure
that all Materials or samples of Licensed Products which require approval (where
approvals are provided for or required) or consultation (where consultation is
provided for or required) or reasonable direction (where reasonable direction
may be given) by or with the Licensor in accordance with the Speedo Licenses and
this Amendment are sent by Federal Express or another courier service that
provides a similar overnight service, such that receipt is signed for by the
Licensor, and:

     a.   upon receipt of and within five (5) days of receipt of such samples or
          Materials, the Licensor shall acknowledge receipt by e-mail or fax to
          the Licensee;

     b.   in the event that the Licensor does not propose any changes to such
          samples within twenty one (21) days or to such Materials within
          fourteen (14) days of receipt by the Licensee of such acknowledgement,
          the samples or Materials shall be deemed satisfactory for use by the
          Licensee; and

     c.   the Licensee shall comply with any direction reasonably made by the
          Licensor relating to the improvement in the quality, material or
          workmanship of the samples or content, presentation or otherwise of
          the Materials (in accordance with the provisions of the Speedo
          Licenses).

9.   Intellectual Property.

     Without limitation to Clause 14A and Clause 15 of the 1990 Licenses it is
agreed that:

          In the event that the Licensee, without prior written authorization
     from Licensor, either directly or indirectly, registers or otherwise
     acquires or asserts any interest or ownership in the Licensor's Trade
     Marks, or other


                                       4




<PAGE>

     intellectual property belonging to Licensor in connection with the Speedo
     Licenses (collectively, "Licensor's Intellectual Property"), Licensee shall
     be deemed to hold such Licensor's Intellectual Property in constructive
     trust for the benefit of the Licensor together with any goodwill associated
     therewith. Without limitation to any other remedies to which Licensor may
     be entitled, Licensee must assign any such Licensor's Intellectual Property
     to Licensor without charge or commercial gain and shall do so within seven
     (7) days of receipt of notice from Licensor to do so, and shall pay all
     costs incurred by Licensor (including in connection with initial filings in
     respect of such transfer), subject to Licensee's continuing right to use
     such Licensor's Intellectual Property solely to the extent authorized under
     the Speedo Licenses.

          Licensee shall at no time directly or indirectly hold itself out or
     otherwise portray itself as the owner of the Trade Marks on, without
     limitation, product, packaging and/or advertising nor in any public forum
     including without limitation in any press or public statements or in any
     court or Trade Mark Office proceedings. Licensee may continue to identify
     itself as the exclusive licensee of the Trade Marks in the Licensed
     Territory.

10.  Product Improvements.

     By way of further clarification to Clause 12.1:

          Any intellectual property concerning improvements or inventions which
     it might develop in relation to the Licensed Products or their manufacture
     (including without limitation new designs, materials or patentable
     technology) shall automatically be deemed the intellectual property of the
     Licensor, and may be shared with such of its other licensees which comply
     with Clause 12.1 of the 1990 Licenses, subject to Licensee's continued
     right to use such intellectual property to the extent authorized by the
     Speedo Licenses.

          Nothing in the Speedo Licenses shall prevent the Licensor from
     utilizing factories in the Territory for the manufacture of any product for
     use or shipment outside the Licensed Territory and Licensor shall enjoy
     such right without any interference, charge or permission from the
     Licensee.

11.  Retail Stores.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the December 15, 1995
Addendum, including Clause 2.2(16B(c)(ii) and (iii)) thereof, Licensee may offer
for sale and sell apparel, accessories and other products that are not Licensed
Products in the Retail Stores doing business as SPEEDO AUTHENTIC FITNESS in
accordance with applicable laws and provided that:


                                       5




<PAGE>

     a.   notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall not offer for sale or
          sell any swim wear not sold under the Trade Marks in the Retail Stores
          except that Licensee shall be permitted to sell in the Retail Stores
          fashion swim wear manufactured and sold under the Ralph Lauren family
          of trademarks or the Anne Cole trademarks as such trademarks exist as
          of the date of this Amendment. Further the parties agree that Licensee
          with the written consent of Licensor can add other fashion swimwear
          for sale in the Retail Stores from time to time;

     b.   nothing herein permits Licensee to sell any products bearing or
          identified by the mark AUTHENTIC FITNESS, and all use of that name or
          mark continues to be subject to the provisions of the 1992 Name
          Agreement and any other applicable provisions of the Speedo Licenses;
          and

     c.   if the level of merchandise bearing the Trade Marks sold at all such
          Retail Stores does not equal or exceed fifty percent (50%) of the net
          sales (i.e. for purposes of this clause 11(c) defined to mean gross
          sales less all returns actually accepted and discounts actually given)
          in such stores for any twelve (12) month period, Licensor shall have
          the right to require Licensee, upon written notice and following a
          reasonable transition not to exceed six (6) months, to change the name
          of such Retail Stores to eliminate "SPEEDO" as part of their name,
          including without limitation, removal of "SPEEDO" on all signage,
          advertising and promotional materials (or as the parties may otherwise
          agree).

12.  Service Mark.

     With respect to clause 2.2 (16B) of the 1995 Addendum:

     Licensee has agreed that all uses of the Service Mark for the Retail Stores
shall reflect creditably on Licensor. Licensee hereby agrees that the use of the
Service Mark on or in the Retail Stores and any use of the Trade Marks on
products sold in the Retail Stores, in any point-of-sale or other materials
bearing the Trade Marks shall be consistent with the high quality, character and
image of the Trade Marks.

13.  Sub-Licensees.

     The Licensee acknowledges the importance to Licensor of a consistent
worldwide brand image with respect to the Trade Marks, and therefore, wherever
possible or appropriate, the value of having one global licensee or sublicensee
for products or accessories which the parties do not wish to produce and/or
distribute themselves. In the event that this is impossible or impractical or
Licensee otherwise makes a commercial determination to appoint a sub-licensee in
the Licensed Territory in accordance with Clause 20(a)(i) of the 1990 License
Agreements, it is agreed as follows:

     a.   At the earliest opportunity the Licensee will notify the Licensor in
          writing and will then consult in good faith with the Licensor
          concerning the nature of the proposed sub-license and the identity of
          the sub-licensee;


                                       6




<PAGE>

     b.   At least ten (10) business days prior to executing a sub-license
          agreement, the Licensee shall submit the agreement to the Licensor for
          review (but for the avoidance of doubt such agreement shall not be
          subject to the approval of the Licensor);

     c.   Within five (5) business days of receipt of the agreement, the
          Licensor shall notify the Licensee in writing as to whether it
          requires the proposed sub-licensee to enter into a written agreement
          pursuant to Clause 20(a)(iii) (the "Sub-Licensee Quality Agreement");
          and

     d.   On receipt of notification of such requirement by the Licensee, the
          Licensee shall procure that the proposed sub-licensee shall sign the
          Sub-Licensee Quality Agreement within a reasonable period thereafter
          to be entered into with the Licensor.

Further, any sub-license agreement executed in accordance with Clause 20(a)(1)
of the 1990 Licenses shall not be perpetual and shall be for an initial term not
to exceed twenty (20) years, and at or near the expiration of such term Licensee
shall be entitled to enter into further extensions with such sub-licensee
provided however that no such subsequent extension shall exceed twenty (20)
years.

14.  Distribution.

     In order to enhance the image and value of the Trade Marks, the Licensor
has developed and is continuing to develop a distribution policy and criteria.
Such policy provides:

     a.   any stores which do not meet the requirements of the criteria whether
          due to the presentation, character, quality or otherwise shall not be
          supplied with products bearing any of the SPEEDO marks;

     b.   product will be segmented so that high end stores are supplied with
          high end product and other stores are supplied with core product
          consistent with applicable laws and in accordance with the
          above-referenced criteria;

     Licensee hereby acknowledges the value of enhancing the image and value of
the Trade Marks and the SPEEDO brand and will consult with the Licensor, in good
faith, concerning distribution policies and criteria.

15.  Anti-Counterfeit.

     Both parties acknowledge the importance of mutual co-operation in order to
guard against counterfeiting of products under the Trade Marks. It is therefore
agreed as follows:

     a.   It is acknowledged that Customs authorities in stopping counterfeit
          goods frequently allow a short period of time for the brand owner to
          confirm the goods are counterfeit. Therefore, where it is necessary
          for either party to


                                       7




<PAGE>

          identify whether any product identified or stopped by Customs, or any
          other person, is a counterfeit or genuine product of the other party
          (or otherwise), the relevant party shall:

          (1)  send a sample of such product to the other (the "Receiving
               Party") by Federal Express or another courier providing a similar
               overnight service;

          (2)  within two (2) business days of receipt, the Receiving Party
               shall confirm whether to the best of its knowledge such product
               is a genuine or counterfeit product (or otherwise); and

          (3)  the Receiving Party shall provide all reasonable assistance to
               the other party in identifying the source of any counterfeit or
               parallel import products.

     b.   Each party shall use best efforts in guarding against the
          counterfeiting of its products under the Trade Marks including in
          providing all reasonable assistance requested by the other in
          preventing the import of grey market or parallel import products.
          Further, it is acknowledged that the Licensor uses anti-counterfeit
          technology to assist in worldwide protection of the brand and is in
          the course of implementing security labeling in its products. The
          Licensee agrees to consult with the Licensor in good faith regarding
          the implementation of security labels in its product sold under the
          Speedo Licenses and the Licensor agrees to provide all reasonable
          assistance and advice concerning the same. To assist in this process,
          the head of Licensor's Corporate Security shall within ninety (90)
          days of the Effective Date meet with Licensee's counterpart or other
          appropriate personnel for this purpose. Licensee will retain the
          ultimate right to make decisions with respect to any proposed use or
          implementation of security labeling by Licensee.

16.  Brand Guidelines.

     In order to ensure consistent representation of the Trade Marks by all the
Licensor's licensees the Licensor produces Brand Guidelines which include
guidance as to how the type face and color of the Trade Marks should be
presented. Without limitation to Licensee's existing obligations under the
Speedo Licenses, Licensee agrees to comply with such Brand Guidelines in its use
of the Trade Marks unless the Licensor agrees otherwise in writing. The Licensee
shall have a period of twelve (12) months from the Effective Date to fully
comply with this provision. Licensee may, however, market and sell any Licensed
Products and distribute related Materials bearing the Trade Marks (where such
use of the Trade Marks is not in conformity with the Brand Guidelines)
manufactured or caused to be manufactured prior to the expiration of such period
provided that such sales do not occur following the date which is thirty six
(36) months from the Effective Date without Licensor's prior written consent and
any surplus


                                       8




<PAGE>

Licensed Product not in compliance with this provision in existence following
the expiration of the aforementioned period shall be immediately destroyed by
Licensee.

1990 Agreements are as follows, subject to change by written notice:

     Clause 25 of the 1990 Licenses is amended so that where there is an uncured
material breach of the US 1990 License, then the Mexico 1990 License shall be
deemed to have been materially breached.

19.  1992 Name Agreement.

     It is acknowledged that nothing herein shall affect any continued operation
of provisions of the 1992 Name Agreement following any termination or conclusion
of the Speedo Licenses to the extent provided for in such 1992 Name Agreement in
accordance with its terms.

20.  Education.

     In house counsel for Licensor shall within forty-five (45) days of the
Effective Date produce a Power Point presentation in a form agreed with in house

under the Speedo Licenses including this Amendment. It is acknowledged that such

personnel simultaneously, at the same location, within ninety (90) days of the

are present from Licensee at the Licensor presentation and vice versa.

21.  Choice of Law.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Clause 31.2 of the

(including this Amendment) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts entered into and
performed fully therein, without reference to any choice of law, and the
substantive laws applicable to trade marks, copyrights and patents in each
country in the Territory, as applicable.

22.  Confidentiality.

     The parties agree to maintain as confidential the terms and conditions of
the Speedo Licenses (including this Amendment) and shall not disclose the
contents of the same, or information or records disclosing in any way the
content of their negotiations, to anyone unless such disclosure is (i) lawfully
required by any governmental agency; (ii) produced in response to a discovery
request in a civil litigation or from a governmental agency or official (iii)
otherwise required to be disclosed by law, including legally required financial
reporting, or to the extent required by any internationally recognized

Order. If it shall become necessary to make a disclosure under any of the
circumstances identified in subsections (ii), (iv) or (vi) above, the party
proposing such disclosure shall advise the other party in writing at least ten
(10) days prior to such anticipated disclosure, and such time would enable the
other party to take any steps on its own behalf to address or prevent such
disclosure and the other party will cooperate with reasonable requests relating
thereto (e.g. seeking a protective order in connection with any disclosure
required and/or redacting royalty and other sensitive terms). The terms and
conditions of the Speedo Licenses and Amendments may not be disclosed, under any
circumstances, to any vendors, customers, competitors or the press.

23.  Headings.

     The headings herein are solely for the convenience of the parties and do
not constitute a substantive part of this Amendment.
