                                LICENSE AGREEMENT

This License Agreement made and entered into as of March 1, 2003 by and between
Nautica Apparel, Inc., a Delaware corporation having an address at 40 West 57th
Street, New York, NY 10019 ("LICENSOR"), and Authentic Fitness Corporation, a
Delaware corporation having an address at 6040 Bandini Blvd., Los Angeles,
California 90040 ("LICENSEE").

     WHEREAS, LICENSOR is the owner of the mark "NAUTICA" which is registered in
the United States and elsewhere and the other names, marks and logos set forth
in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the "Nautica Names and Marks");

     WHEREAS, LICENSOR engages, either directly or indirectly, in the business
of marketing and selling apparel and accessories bearing the Nautica Names and
Marks;

     WHEREAS, the Nautica Names and Marks have acquired a reputation for a high
standard for quality and, through usage, have acquired distinctiveness and have
become associated in the public's mind with the business of LICENSOR; and

     WHEREAS, LICENSOR is willing to grant to LICENSEE, and LICENSEE desires to
acquire from LICENSOR, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, an
exclusive license with respect to the Nautica Names and Marks set forth on
Schedule A hereto for the Licensed Products in the Territory, as set forth in
Schedule B of the Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these recitals, of the following mutual
covenants and other good and valuable consideration, LICENSOR and LICENSEE agree
as follows:

                                    SECTION 1

                              Schedules/Definitions

     1.1 Attached hereto are the following Schedules which are herein
incorporated by reference:

          Schedule A - Images of the Nautica Names and Marks.

          Schedule B - Schedule of certain terms and conditions.

     1.2 Certain terms used herein and in the Schedules shall have the
definitions assigned to them in the context in which they appear. Such
definitions shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of
the terms defined, and words of any gender shall include each other gender where
appropriate, and words such as "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder", and words of
similar import, shall refer to this Agreement, including the Schedules hereto
which are an integral part of the Agreement, as a whole and not to any
particular section or part thereof.

                                    SECTION 2

                                 Grant of Rights

2.1 Grant of Rights. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
LICENSEE shall have the exclusive right to use the Nautica Names and Marks
solely in connection with the exercise of the rights described in Item 4 of
Schedule B hereto, in the


                                        1




<PAGE>

Territory, described in Item 3 of Schedule B hereto, with respect to the
products described in Item 5 of Schedule B hereto (the "Licensed Products").
LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the rights granted to LICENSEE
hereunder are limited and only apply to the use of the Nautica Names and Marks
which are specifically set forth on Schedule A hereto; (ii) LICENSEE shall have
the exclusive right to use the trademark "Nautica", whether or not in
combination with any other names or marks, on the Licensed Products in the
Territory, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) LICENSEE shall have no
right to use the Nautica Names and Marks in connection with any other name or
mark whether or not such other name or mark is used to identify a separate
derivative line, for example, "Nautica Jeans", etc., unless LICENSOR shall
otherwise agree in writing; (iv) LICENSOR reserves the right for itself and for
its other licensees the exclusive right to use all other names and marks
containing the word "Nautica" on all products other than the Licensed Products
in the Territory; and (v) LICENSOR reserves the right for itself the exclusive
right vis a vis the LICENSEE to use the Nautica Names and Marks in connection
with any other name or mark to market and sell the Licensed Products through the
Internet; provided however, that LICENSOR shall purchase such Licensed Products
from LICENSEE and subject to the rights granted to LICENSEE in Item 4(a) of
Schedule B. Without any loss of generality to the foregoing, LICENSEE
acknowledges and agrees that LICENSOR reserves the right for itself and for its
other licensees the right to use all names and marks containing the word
"Nautica" and all names and marks which derive from, relate to or are otherwise
similar to the names and marks specifically shown on Schedule A hereto. Except
to the extent rights to use the Nautica Names and Marks are specifically granted
to LICENSEE hereunder, LICENSOR reserves for itself and its other licensees all
other rights to use the Nautica Names and Marks. In the event of any dispute
between LICENSEE and LICENSOR or between LICENSEE and any other licensee of
LICENSOR in the Territory with respect to whether particular merchandise is a
"Licensed Product", such dispute shall be resolved by LICENSOR in its sole
reasonable determination and such determination shall be binding upon LICENSEE
and such other licensee.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that
LICENSOR, determines, in its sole judgment, that it is desirable to license a
"Diffusion Brand", as defined below, for marketing the Licensed Products in the
Territory then, LICENSOR shall first advise LICENSEE in writing of its intention
to negotiate with regard to such Diffusion Brand. LICENSEE shall have thirty
(30) days from the date of LICENSOR's letter within which to respond in writing
to LICENSOR, either affirming or declining its interest in entering such
negotiations with LICENSOR. LICENSEE's failure to respond to LICENSOR during
such time shall be deemed a rejection of LICENSOR's inquiry. If LICENSEE, in
fact, advises LICENSOR of its desire to license a Diffusion Brand to include one
or more categories of the Licensed Products, then LICENSEE shall provide
LICENSOR with a business plan and the parties thereupon shall attempt in good
faith to negotiate an amendment to the License Agreement. Such negotiation
period shall not exceed thirty (30) days. In the event that LICENSOR and
LICENSEE do not enter into such an amendment to the Agreement during this time
limit, LICENSOR may enter into an agreement with a third party for the licensing
of such rights in the Territory. Nothing herein shall obligate LICENSOR to reach
an agreement on the terms of such an amendment with LICENSEE. For purposes of
this provision, a Diffusion Brand shall mean a brand derived from and closely
associated with the Nautica Names and Marks, but not bearing the Nautica Names
and Marks as a brand name. The parties agree that if LICENSOR purchases or
develops a separate line or brand not derived from or associated with the
Nautica Names and Marks, such separate brand shall not be a Diffusion Brand
merely by a disclosure that such brand is a Nautica company, or similar
disclosure.

<PAGE>

     (c) In the event that LICENSOR grants the Diffusion Brand rights specified
in Section 2.1 (b) above to a third party other than LICENSEE and LICENSEE
reasonably shall determine that it has been adversely affected thereby, LICENSEE
shall have the right to terminate this License Agreement by giving written
notice of such termination, to be effective upon the expiration of twelve (12)
months from the date of the written notice ( the "Termination Date"). Such
termination shall be subject to all applicable rights of LICENSEE to dispose of
inventory hereunder and all obligations of LICENSEE hereunder (except those
which expressly survive expiration or termination) shall terminate on and as of
the Termination Date.

     2.2 Rights Personal. The rights granted hereby (the "License") are personal
to LICENSEE and limited to the extent of the grant of such rights and LICENSEE
shall not have the right to exercise the rights described in Item 4 of Schedule
B hereto other than subject to such limitation, nor shall LICENSEE have the
right to license others to exercise such rights with respect to the Licensed
Products within or without the Territory.

     2.3 Term. This Agreement shall be effective upon the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by the parties hereto and the satisfaction of all conditions
precedent, if any, set forth in Item 6 of Schedule B. Unless sooner terminated
as provided in this Agreement, the term of the License granted hereby to
LICENSEE shall expire on the date set forth in Item 7(a) of Schedule B hereto
(the "Term"). Provided that LICENSEE has complied with all of its obligations
under this Agreement, LICENSOR agrees to enter into negotiations with LICENSEE
to renew the License upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed to
by LICENSOR and LICENSEE unless terms for renewal of this Agreement are
otherwise specifically provided for in Item 7(b) of Schedule B, in which event,
such terms as set forth in Schedule B shall govern. If this Agreement is
renewed, "Term" shall mean the term of the Agreement as renewed.

     2.4 Personal Benefit. LICENSEE expressly represents and warrants that the
License has been acquired to exercise the rights described in Item 4 of Schedule
B hereto with respect to the Licensed Products in the Territory and not for
transfer or other disposition of the License to others, except as specifically
otherwise provided herein.

                                    SECTION 3

                             Nautica Names and Marks

     3.1 Validity and Use.

          (a) LICENSEE acknowledges the validity, value and proprietary nature
of the Nautica Names and Marks, including all goodwill associated therewith,
whether generated by LICENSOR, LICENSEE or other licensees, and agrees that they
are, and shall remain, the exclusive property of LICENSOR. LICENSEE's use of the
Nautica Names and Marks shall inure to the benefit of LICENSOR. LICENSEE shall,
at LICENSEE's expense, assign and convey to LICENSOR any such rights to or
interest in the Nautica Names and Marks as LICENSEE may acquire by reason of the
use thereof. LICENSEE shall not, by use, registration or any other means,
establish title to the same or confusingly similar names, logos, trademarks,
service marks and slogans, or other source identifying indicia analogous to the
same.


                                        3




<PAGE>

          (b) LICENSEE shall comply with any and all applicable national,
provincial, state and local laws, regulations and interpretations thereof
relating to the use of the Nautica Names and Marks, including, but not limited
to, any which requires the registration of the Nautica Names and Marks. LICENSEE
shall, prior to or contemporaneous with such compliance, provide LICENSOR with
copies of all documents filed by LICENSEE, together with an explanation of the
reasons therefor, and copies of the law or regulations applicable. Any
registration of the Nautica Names and Marks shall specify that LICENSEE's use
thereof is only as a licensee of LICENSOR, is limited to the Territory and will
terminate with the termination of the License. No such registration shall create
in LICENSEE any property right in or privilege to the use of the Nautica Names
and Marks, which survive the termination of the License.

          (c) LICENSEE shall not interfere with the use or registration of the
Nautica Names and Marks by LICENSOR or by any other licensee of LICENSOR.
LICENSEE shall not use the Nautica Names and Marks or any confusingly similar
names, logos, trademarks, service marks, slogans , or other source identifying
indicia analogous to the same, or refer in any way to the fact that it is a
licensee of LICENSOR, in connection with any business activity or in the
operation of any business entity other than as authorized by this Agreement.

     3.2 Right to Change; Cooperation. LICENSOR shall have the right,
exercisable from time to time, to make any changes it deems necessary in and to
the Nautica Names and Marks. LICENSEE shall cooperate with LICENSOR in effecting
any such changes by following all reasonable directions of LICENSOR relating
thereto, after reasonable notice and opportunity to dispose of the Licensed
Products bearing or incorporating the Nautica Names and Marks in such earlier
form or format.

     3.3 Sub-Licensing/Manufacturing.

          (a) LICENSEE shall not, in any manner, authorize or purport to
authorize another to use the Nautica Names and Marks, except to the extent
specifically provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE may have
the Nautica Names and Marks affixed to Licensed Products being manufactured
outside the Territory, provided LICENSEE takes all commercially reasonable
precautions to prevent labels, tags and other indicia of the Nautica Names and
Marks from being used otherwise than in connection with the Licensed Products
for distribution and sale within the Territory. LICENSEE shall not manufacture
the Licensed Products in Myanmar or Saipan unless Licensor shall have provided
its approval hereunder and such countries as LICENSOR shall advise LICENSEE are
prohibited based on their noncompliance with applicable labor laws and
LICENSOR's Code of Conduct, as required in the manufacturing agreement
("Supplier Agreement"), attached hereto as Exhibit A, and made a part of this
Agreement or such other reasons as LICENSOR shall in its sole discretion
determine.

          (b) Code of Conduct. LICENSOR's Code of Conduct ("Code") applies to
any entity manufacturing, or otherwise in the line of production of, Licensed
Products (including the components thereof). LICENSEE must ensure that LICENSEE
and all third party manufacturers, subcontractors and suppliers ("Suppliers")
comply with the terms of the Code and evidence such compliance by:

               (i)  prior to the commencement of the manufacturing of Licensed
                    Products, executing, and having all Suppliers execute, the
                    Code in the form attached hereto, retaining such documents
                    in a safe place and providing such documents immediately to
                    LICENSOR at its request; and


                                        4




<PAGE>

               (ii) displaying and using its commercially reasonable good faith
                    efforts to cause all Suppliers to display the Code, in a
                    clearly visible location in LICENSEE's manufacturing
                    facilities (if applicable) and in the manufacturing
                    facilities of LICENSEE's Suppliers, at all times during the
                    term of this Agreement.

          (c) Monitoring Program. LICENSEE agrees that prior to the commencement
of the manufacturing of Licensed Products, it will have in effect, to the
satisfaction of LICENSOR, a program of monitoring manufacturing facilities,
whether operated by LICENSEE or by Suppliers, that is sufficient to ensure their
compliance with the Code and all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to
wages, overtime compensation, benefits, hours, hiring and employment, workplace
conditions and safety, the environment, collective bargaining, and freedom of
association, and that the other products manufactured by Supplier and the
components thereof are made without the use of child (persons under the age of
15 or younger than the age for completing compulsory education, if that age is
higher than 15), prison, indentured, exploited, bonded, forced or slave labor.
Such compliance will be evidenced by LICENSEE, upon execution of this Agreement,
by executing and abiding by the Certification in the form presented on the
Supplier Agreement, as may be amended from time to time, and executing and
abiding by any such other form as may be provided by LICENSOR from time to time.
If LICENSEE uses an agent for monitoring Suppliers, then such agent(s) shall be
approved by LICENSOR. If LICENSEE already has in place such agent(s) pursuant to
a preexisting contract, then LICENSOR shall be authorized to engage its own
agent to monitor LICENSEE's Suppliers on an as needed basis, but at least once
quarterly, at LICENSEE's expense.

          (d) Third Party Manufacturing Agreement. All of LICENSEE's third party
manufacturing agreements must substantively conform with the Supplier Agreement,
attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof, as may be amended from time
to time by LICENSOR. Within thirty (30) days after establishing a new
arrangement with a Supplier, LICENSEE must inspect each Supplier and provide
approval, signed by an authorized employee or agent of LICENSEE that such
Supplier is in compliance with this Section 3.3, and will obtain and immediately
provide to LICENSOR, at LICENSOR's request, the properly executed Supplier
Agreement from each such Supplier, and/or such other forms as reasonably may be
provided by LICENSOR from time to time. Within thirty (30) days after
establishing a new arrangement with a Supplier, LICENSEE must obtain and provide
to LICENSOR, at LICENSOR's request, the signature of an authorized
representative from each Supplier on a Certification substantially in the form
set forth in the Supplier Agreement, or such other form as reasonably may be
provided by LICENSOR from time to time. In the event LICENSEE has knowledge of,
has reason to believe, or should have reason to know that, any Supplier is in
material breach of the Supplier Agreement and/or Certification, as the case may
be, LICENSEE must immediately notify LICENSOR and LICENSEE shall, at its sole
expense, take immediate action to rectify such breach, including, where LICENSOR
deems it necessary, immediate termination of its relationship with such
Supplier. If LICENSEE fails to take immediate action or such action is not
successful, LICENSEE will assign its rights to proceed against such Supplier to
LICENSOR and LICENSOR will, at LICENSEE's expense, have the right to pursue all
available remedies to protect its rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
LICENSEE acknowledges that it is obligated under all of the provisions of this
Agreement to ensure that the production of Licensed Products is in compliance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If LICENSOR shall have
requested that LICENSEE take specific effective steps with respect to
non-compliance or unauthorized conduct by any Supplier under this provision and
LICENSEE shall have refused to or failed to take any such action, then
LICENSEE's refusal or failure shall be deemed to be a material breach of this
Agreement.


                                        5




<PAGE>

          (e) Supplier Reports. In addition to all other reports required by
this Agreement, in order to maintain LICENSOR's high standard of quality control
and to ensure that appropriate measures are taken against counterfeiting,
LICENSEE shall provide a report to LICENSOR, on a quarterly basis, with the
following information:

               (i)  the name and address of each Supplier;

               (ii) the type of Licensed Products manufactured by each Supplier;

               (iii) the quantity of Licensed Products anticipated to be
                    manufactured by each Supplier;

               (iv) the type of components provided by each Supplier; and

               (v)  any other relevant information regarding all such entities,
                    as reasonably requested by LICENSOR.

          (f) Inspection of Facilities. LICENSEE will regularly, and not less
than two (2) times per year, inspect or designate a third party to inspect the
facilities it utilizes and those facilities utilized by Suppliers for compliance
with this provision and will take all reasonable action necessary to cure any
deficiencies. LICENSEE further agrees that it will terminate any agreement with
any such Supplier found to be in material default or in material non-compliance
on three (3) separate inspections. LICENSOR and its duly authorized
representatives will have the right to inspect all facilities utilized by
LICENSEE, and LICENSEE shall ensure in its arrangements with its Suppliers that
LICENSOR (or its designee) shall also be provided access to the premises and
records of Suppliers in connection with the manufacture, storage or distribution
of Licensed Products, and for LICENSOR to examine: (a) LICENSEE's manufacturing
facilities, residential facilities (if any) and any manufacturing and/or
residential facility operated by any of LICENSEE's Suppliers; (b) LICENSEE's and
any of its Suppliers' books, records and documents necessary to evidence such
entities' compliance with the Code and all applicable laws, rules and
regulations; and (c) LICENSEE's and its Suppliers' books, records and documents
relating to the use of chemicals and dyes in the fabrics, trim, garments and
other merchandise manufactured hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, all
such books, records and documents shall be maintained by LICENSEE and LICENSEE
shall provide in its Supplier Agreements that Suppliers shall maintain such
books, records and documents in a secure and readily accessible location for a
period of three (3) years from their creation. LICENSOR shall have the right to
review such inspection reports and related information or correspondence and
communications. In the event that LICENSOR determines that any inspection
indicates that the inspected facilities may not be materially complying with the
Code or applicable laws to LICENSOR's reasonable satisfaction, LICENSEE shall
pay LICENSOR for the cost of any subsequent inspections of such facilities by
LICENSOR or its representatives to address Code or legal compliance.

     3.4 Prohibited Uses of the Nautica Names and Marks. LICENSEE shall not use
the Nautica Names and Marks, any facsimiles thereof or any confusingly similar
names or marks as part of its name or in the name of any bank account of
LICENSEE without the prior written consent of LICENSOR.

     3.5 Unauthorized Use by Others. LICENSEE shall (a) promptly report to
LICENSOR any unauthorized use of the Nautica Names and Marks or confusingly
similar names or marks, (b) as specified below, cooperate with LICENSOR in
precluding unauthorized use of the Nautica Names and Marks or any confusingly
similar names, marks, logos or slogans and


                                        6




<PAGE>

(c) promptly notify LICENSOR of, and cooperate in the defense of, any suits
filed against LICENSEE challenging the validity of any or all of the Nautica
Names and Marks.

     After receipt of such report and/or notification notice from LICENSEE,
LICENSOR shall take such action to stop such unauthorized use or defend such
claim and otherwise act promptly to protect the Nautica Names and Marks and
Nautica Products in the Territory as LICENSOR in its sole discretion shall
determine. LICENSEE shall, at LICENSOR'S expense, if so required by LICENSOR,
join LICENSOR as a party to any action brought by LICENSOR for such purposes.
LICENSEE agrees that LICENSOR shall have the sole power to take legal action
with respect to the infringement of its designs or the protection of the Nautica
Names and Marks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in
the event that LICENSEE shall request LICENSOR to take legal action with respect
to product diversion or counterfeiting of products bearing the Nautica Names and
Marks, LICENSOR shall, with counsel of LICENSOR's choosing but at LICENSEE's
sole cost and expense, take such action as LICENSOR shall deem appropriate;
provided that arrangements are made, and assurances given, in each case
reasonably satisfactory to LICENSOR, relating to the payment of the costs and
expenses of such action.

     3.6 Other Trademarks, Trade Names and Logos Used on the Licensed Products.
No trademarks, trade names or logos (collectively, "Secondary Trademarks") other
than the Nautica Names and Marks may be used on, or in conjunction with, the
Licensed Products, without the approval of LICENSOR, which may be granted or
denied in its sole discretion. If LICENSOR approves the use of Secondary
Trademarks on, or in conjunction with, the Licensed Products, then the ownership
of the Secondary Trademarks must be assigned to LICENSOR by LICENSEE, as a
condition of LICENSOR's approval.

                                    SECTION 4

                          Payments, Reports and Records

     4.1 Percentage Royalties. In consideration of the License granted
hereunder, LICENSEE agrees to pay LICENSOR royalty payments equal to the
percentage of net sales of the Licensed Products as set forth in Item 8 of
Schedule B (the "Percentage Royalties") hereto during each royalty year as set
forth in Item 9 of Schedule B hereto (each, a "Royalty Year"). Any sale by
LICENSEE or its affiliates, associates or subsidiaries of (i) the Licensed
Products or (ii) products of apparel and accessories copied from the Licensed
Products of LICENSOR or any design or sketch obtained from LICENSOR, and/or
containing design elements uniquely associated with LICENSOR, all subject to
other applicable provisions herein, including in particular, Section 5.4 herein
or any Licensed Product whether or not bearing the Nautica Names and Marks for
the purpose of computing Percentage Royalties due LICENSOR. Amounts due LICENSOR
hereunder shall be deemed to be held by LICENSEE in trust for the benefit of
LICENSOR until actually paid to LICENSOR.

     4.2 Minimum Royalty; Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR during the Term
guaranteed minimum royalty payments in the amounts and at the times set forth in
Item 10 of Schedule B hereto (each, a "Minimum Royalty"). The excess of
Percentage Royalties over Minimum Royalties, if any, due LICENSOR shall be paid
within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter
("Royalty Quarter") of each Royalty Year, all as specifically set forth in
Schedule B hereof.


                                        7




<PAGE>

     4.3 Currency and Taxes. All payments to LICENSOR shall be made in United
States currency. Payments based upon net sales of the Licensed Products
denominated in an currency other than in United States dollars shall be
converted into United States dollars at the New York foreign exchange selling
rate as published in The Wall Street Journal (or other comparable source in the
event that The Wall Street Journal fails to publish such exchange rate) on the
last business day each Royalty Quarter in which such net sales occur. LICENSOR
shall bear the tax to be levied under law applicable in the Territory on the
income of LICENSOR arising under this Agreement, provided, however, that
LICENSEE shall bear all value added taxes, if any, to be levied under law
applicable in the Territory. In the event that LICENSEE deducts any tax from the
amounts due to LICENSOR hereunder, LICENSEE shall provide LICENSOR on an annual
basis with a report of such deductions, as well as a tax certificate showing the
calculation and the payment of such tax.

     4.4 Periodic Royalty Statements. LICENSEE shall, for each month of each
Royalty Year, commencing with the first month following the execution of this
Agreement and continuing until a final certification of wind-up is delivered,
furnish LICENSOR with a detailed monthly statement (the "Monthly Statement"),
certified to be accurate by an authorized officer of LICENSEE, showing
cumulatively for all accounts and separately for each account for each Licensed
Product the following: (a) the line, item, design, number, description and price
of the Licensed Products, by country, sold or distributed during the preceding
month , (b) any actual returns of the Licensed Products made during the
preceding month, (c) the amount of Royalties earned by LICENSOR stated in US
dollars and (d) LICENSEE's best judgement of the increase or decrease in the net
wholesale sales volume as defined on Schedule B hereto. Such Monthly Statements
shall be furnished to LICENSOR within ten (10) business days after the end of
each month for which such Monthly Statement is made. Percentage Royalties,
payable to LICENSOR shall be paid quarterly as set forth in Section 4.2.
Additionally, on a quarterly basis, LICENSEE shall provide to LICENSOR, a
reforecast of LICENSEE'S net wholesale sales volume for the then current Royalty
Year. The form of the report provided to LICENSEE by LICENSOR is attached hereto
and made a part hereof as Exhibit B.

In addition, LICENSEE shall furnish LICENSOR, annually, commencing with the
first Royalty Year and continuing until a final certification of wind-up is
delivered, with a detailed statement (the "Annual Statement"), certified to be
accurate by an authorized officer of LICENSEE, showing cumulatively and
separately for each Licensed Product the following: (i) the line, item, design,
number, description and price of the Licensed Products, by country, sold or
distributed during the preceding Royalty Year; (ii) any actual returns of
Licensed Products made during the preceding Royalty Year; and (iii) the amount
of payment due LICENSOR. Such Annual Statements shall be furnished to LICENSOR,
within thirty (30) days after the end of the Royalty Year for which such
Statement is made and shall be accompanied by payment to LICENSOR of any amounts
of royalty in excess of minimum royalties paid that may be due LICENSOR. The
Monthly and Annual Statements shall be furnished to LICENSOR whether or not
there is any distribution or sales of Licensed Products during the preceding
month, and whether or not any amounts are then due LICENSOR. The failure or
refusal of LICENSEE to timely furnish any Monthly Statement or Annual Statement
substantially in the form required by LICENSOR or payments shall be deemed a
substantial and material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle LICENSOR,
without any prejudice to any other right which LICENSOR may have under law, in
contract or in equity for such breach, to terminate the License, subject to the
applicable notice and right to cure provisions of Section 10.1 hereof. The
receipt or acceptance by LICENSOR of any Monthly Statement or Annual Statement
furnished pursuant hereto or of any payments made hereunder (or the cashing of
any checks paid hereunder) shall not preclude LICENSOR from questioning the
correctness thereof at any time. In the event that any inconsistencies or

submitted by LICENSEE in good faith shall immediately be rectified and the
appropriate payment shall immediately be made by LICENSEE. The form of the
report provided to LICENSEE by LICENSOR is the same as that required for the
Monthly Statement, attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B,
calculated for the entire Royalty Year.

     4.5 Periodic Retailer Performance Report. LICENSEE shall, within ten (10)
days after the end of every month during the Term, commencing with the end of

information which must be obtained from or provided by retailers, LICENSEE's
obligation to provide any such information shall be subject to availability
(i.e., whether such retailers have provided or will provide such information.)

any Monthly Retailer Performance Report or Quarterly Retailer Performance Report
more than twice in any 12 month period following notice by LICENSOR of such
failure and the opportunity to cure in accordance with Section 10.1 herein shall
be deemed a substantial and material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
LICENSOR, without any prejudice to any other right which LICENSOR may have under
law, in contract or in equity for such breach, to terminate the License.

                                    SECTION 5

     5.1 Licensed Products to be of High Quality. LICENSEE agrees (a) that the
Licensed Products and their manufacture, distribution and packaging shall be of
a high standard and of such style, appearance and quality as shall, in the
reasonable judgment of LICENSOR, be adequate and suited to their exploitation to
the best advantage and to the protection and enhancement of the material and the
goodwill pertaining thereto; provided however, that LICENSEE understands and
agrees that such reasonable judgement of LICENSOR may be based upon or reflect
LICENSOR's subjective standards of quality, taste, aesthetics, marketability and
suitability for use in conjunction with the Nautica Names and Marks (b) that the
Licensed Products shall be manufactured, sold, distributed and advertised in
accordance with all applicable laws, (c) that the policy of sale, distribution,
and/or exploitation by LICENSEE shall be of a high standard and to the best
advantage of the Nautica Names and Marks, the Licensed Products and/or LICENSOR

and Marks, the Licensed Products or LICENSOR and (e) that each of the Licensed

exercised so as not to interfere with, detract from, or alter the concepts used
by LICENSOR or known to the public;


                                        9

Products by LICENSEE as may be permitted hereunder shall be in full conformity
with the foregoing.

advertising and promotional materials, shall be subject to LICENSOR's prior
written approval or consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
in connection with the submission of any of the foregoing to LICENSOR for its
approval and consent, LICENSOR may, but shall not be obligated to, engage
counsel to conduct clearance searches and to obtain a legal opinion with respect
to their use. In the event that LICENSOR elects in its sole discretion, not
subject to review, to so engage counsel and/or to conduct such searches,
LICENSEE shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice from LICENSOR,
pay LICENSOR the reasonable cost of engaging such counsel to conduct such
clearance searches and to render the opinion as aforedescribed; provided
however, that LICENSEE understands and agrees that such reasonable judgement of
LICENSOR may be based upon or reflect LICENSOR's subjective standards of
quality, taste, aesthetics, marketability and suitability for use in conjunction
with the Nautica Names and Marks. LICENSEE's obligations under Section 6.3 of
this Agreement shall not be diminished or affected in any way by whether or not
LICENSOR elects to conduct such searches or to obtain such opinion. In addition,
as part of the approval process, LICENSEE shall furnish to LICENSOR, free of
cost for LICENSOR's review pre-production samples of each of the Licensed
Product. Such samples shall be furnished to LICENSOR prior to the sale,
marketing or distribution by LICENSEE of any of the Licensed Products. LICENSEE
agrees to make such changes in the Licensed Products as are reasonably requested
by LICENSOR; provided however, that LICENSEE understands and agrees that such
reasonable judgement of LICENSOR may be based upon or reflect LICENSOR's
subjective standards of quality, taste, aesthetics. LICENSEE shall provide
LICENSOR at no charge with at least (1) complete line of the Licensed Products
and such additional Licensed Products as reasonably may be needed for quality
control, public relations purposes, advertising and other legitimate business
purposes. Such sample line will be in size 6 unless only available in size 8
unless the parties shall agree otherwise.

     5.3 Approval Standard. LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that, unless
otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, all approvals required
from the LICENSOR shall be granted or denied by LICENSOR in LICENSOR's sole,
absolute and reasonable discretion which may be based upon or reflect LICENSOR's
subjective standards of, quality, taste aesthetics, marketability and
suitability for use in conjunction with the Nautica Names and Marks.

     5.4 Designs and Copyrights. LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that, as
between LICENSOR and LICENSEE, all of the right, title and interest, including

                    associated and/or identified with the Licensed Products
                    shall belong to LICENSOR, irrespective of whether LICENSOR,
                    LICENSEE or a third party developed same;

               (iii) Designs of Licensed Products that are not uniquely
                    associated or identified with the Licensed Products may be

parties, that such ownership rights are secured for LICENSOR by LICENSEE.

          Anything to the contrary in the foregoing not withstanding, LICENSOR
understands and agrees that LICENSEE is in the business of manufacturing and
designing products in the same product categories as the Licensed Products. The
parties understand that the construction, fabrication, silhouettes and other

written consent.

     10.3 Termination by LICENSEE.

          (a) LICENSEE may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days prior

Nautica Names and Marks on the Licensed Products in the Territory; provided
however, with regard to the Licensed Products that are on hand, in process or in
transit ("Inventory"), LICENSEE shall offer to sell the Inventory to LICENSOR at

sole discretion, allow LICENSEE to sell the Inventory outside of the Territory
for a period not to exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days or to remove the
Nautica Names and Marks from the Inventory and sell the Inventory until
depleted.

          (b) However, if the LICENSEE is preliminarily enjoined from using the
Nautica Names and Marks on the Licensed Products in the Territory, the
LICENSEE'S royalty obligations, other than its obligation to pay royalties
earned during the period of time prior to the preliminary injunction and to
submit reports as set forth in the Agreement, shall be abated until there is a
final court determination or other settlement concerning the preliminary
injunction.

          (c) Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, if the
permanent or preliminary injunction applies to one or more of the listed
Licensed Products but not all of the Licensed Products or to one or more, but
not all of the countries, in the Territory, then this Agreement may be
terminated and/or the royalty obligations abated, as set forth above, only with
regard to the specific Licensed Products and the specific countries in the
Territory which are the subject to the permanent or preliminary injunction.

     10.4 Termination Costs. LICENSEE and LICENSOR acknowledge that the manner
and notice of termination set forth in this Agreement is reasonable and that,
upon termination, no payment or indemnity for loss of goodwill, loss of profit,
investments made, or otherwise shall be due to LICENSEE. LICENSEE further
acknowledges that it has the capacity and staff to comply with this Agreement,
and undertakes to bear, upon termination of this Agreement, all costs and
liabilities arising out of labor matters and its relationship with the its
retail accounts and any other customers. LICENSEE waives any rights it might

regulations or decrees governing termination of license agreements.

     11.1 LICENSEE shall not sell, assign, transfer, encumber, hypothecate,
permit to become subject to a security interest (subject to the Uniform
Commercial Code, as amended from time to time, and only as applicable in the
State of New York to license agreements) or otherwise dispose of any right,
title or interest in the License or this Agreement, in whole or in part,
voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, without the prior written
consent and approval of the LICENSOR provided, however, that, as used herein, a
change of ownership or control of LICENSEE shall not constitute a transfer or
assignment of this License in violation of this Agreement if LICENSEE complies
with the following terms and conditions:

          (a) LICENSEE shall provide prior written notice to LICENSOR (subject,
as may be applicable, to written confidentiality undertakings by LICENSOR),
advising LICENSOR


                                       21




<PAGE>

of the anticipated change of ownership or control of LICENSEE, including the
identification of the prospective purchaser;

          (b) LICENSEE shall ensure that all persons or entities acquiring such
ownership or control of LICENSEE (i) are profitable during the current and prior
two (2) fiscal years (ii) of suitable reputation, expertise, and financial
strength, with a Current Ratio (the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities) of at least 2 (iii) capable of performing all terms and conditions
of this Agreement; and (iv) are not engaged in the manufacture, distribution or
sale of Licensed Products under a designer name or competitive brand identified
herein; and (v) shall be subject to and comply in all respects with the terms,
conditions, limitations and undertaking of LICENSEE hereunder;

          (c) LICENSEE shall ensure that, at LICENSOR's request, such person or
entity acquiring such ownership or control of LICENSEE shall deliver any
additional written undertakings or covenants to confirm any or all of the
foregoing.

     11.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, above, if LICENSOR shall
reasonably object to any new purchaser or entity controlling LICENSEE and
reasonably determines that such change of control or ownership of LICENSEE would
cause injury to the Nautica Names and Marks or LICENSOR, LICENSOR shall promptly
advise LICENSEE in writing of all of LICENSOR'S objections and concerns. If
LICENSEE is unable to address or resolve all such objections or issues
reasonably raised by LICENSOR, then LICENSOR shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement, provided that such termination shall be effective no earlier
than 12 months from the date of such notice of termination, unless the assignee
commits an uncured Event of Default under the Agreement. Except as specified
herein, during such 12 month period, LICENSOR acknowledges that such change of
ownership or control may have occurred and shall not, by itself, constitute a
default or violation hereof.

     11.3 In the event that LICENSEE attempts to assign the Agreement and the
above conditions are not met, LICENSOR shall have the right to terminate the
Agreement and the provisions of Section 10.2 shall apply.

take, upon any Event of Default when not cured within the applicable cure
period, if any, by LICENSEE, whatever action it deems reasonably necessary to
protect its rights and interests under this Agreement. The termination of this
License by LICENSOR shall not be deemed an election of remedies by LICENSOR and
any such termination shall be without prejudice to any rights or remedies which
LICENSOR may otherwise have against LICENSEE under law, in contract or in equity
for breach of this Agreement.

     12.2 Equitable Relief. LICENSEE acknowledges that its failure to cease the
use of the Nautica Name and Marks or to cease the manufacture, sale or
distribution of the Licensed Products at the termination or expiration of the
License, except as expressly provided herein, will result in immediate and
irreparable damage to LICENSOR and to the rights of any subsequent licensee.
LICENSEE acknowledges and admits that there is no adequate remedy at law for
such failure, and LICENSEE agrees that in the event of such failure, LICENSOR
shall be entitled to equitable relief and such other and further relief as any
court with jurisdiction may deem just and proper.

such court. LICENSEE and LICENSOR irrevocably and unconditionally waives any
objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts located in
New York City (both Federal and State).

payment of amounts due under this Agreement, including default interest for
payments not made when due for any reason whatsoever. If LICENSEE is unable to
remit payments due to restrictions imposed by laws or regulations applicable in
the Territory, or other legitimate authority, LICENSEE, with the reasonable
assistance of LICENSOR, shall determine an alternative means of payment as
promptly as possible.

any deductions for bad debts, discounts or any cost incurred in the marketing,
sale, distribution or exploitation of the Nautica Names and Marks from the
royalty, interest or other payments due LICENSOR hereunder, except and only to
the extent specifically provided in this Agreement.

other party shall be construed as a waiver of any other or future provision,
performance or default.

addition, with respect to Intellectual Property, any combination of features
shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exception merely because the
individual features are in the public domain unless the combination itself and
its principle of operation are in the public domain. Each party agrees and
acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of its obligations under this
Section 14.12 are inadequate and that, in addition thereto, either party shall
be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific
performance, in the event of any such breach.

          Each party acknowledges and agrees that its public actions and
statements can affect the image of the other party, the Nautica Names and Marks,
the Licensed Products, other licensees of LICENSOR and the other names and marks
of the LICENSOR or LICENSEE. Accordingly, the release of all corporate
statements, data or information by either party concerning this Agreement shall
be prepared in consultation with, and subject to the prior approval of, the
other party; provided however, that if either or the parties or their parent
corporations is a publicly-held corporation, subject to the requirements of
securities laws and regulations, then, to the maximum extent consistent with
applicable law or regulations, if such parties believe it is required to make a
press release concerning this Agreement, such party shall must give the other
party notice of and an opportunity to comment on such press release.

                  LICENSEE:         Authentic Fitness Corporation,
                                    a  Delaware corporation

                             Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Canada, Mexico, and
                             the Caribbean Islands, namely; Antigua, Anguilla,
                             Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cuba, Dominica,
                             Dominican Republic, British Virgin Islands, Haiti,
                             Jamaica, Aruba, Curacao, Montserrat, St. Kitts,
                             Nevis, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and
                             Caicos Islands, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St.
                             Vincent, Grenada, Antilles, Bonaire, Bequia, Saba,
                             St. Barthelemy, St. Eustatius and the Cayman
                             Islands; and all United States military bases,
                             wherever located.

                             In the event that LICENSOR, determines, in its
                             sole judgment, that it is desirable to expand the
                             countries within the Territory for the Licensed
                             Products, then LICENSOR shall, first advise
                             LICENSEE in writing of its intention to negotiate
                             with regard to additional countries located in
                             (collectively the "Additional Countries").
                             LICENSEE shall have thirty (30) days from the date
                             of LICENSOR's letter within which to respond in
                             writing to LICENSOR, either affirming or declining
                             its interest in entering such negotiations with
                             LICENSOR. LICENSEE's failure to respond to
                             LICENSOR during such time shall be deemed a
                             rejection of LICENSOR's inquiry. If LICENSEE, in
                             fact, advises LICENSOR of its desire to expand the
                             definition of the Territory to the Additional
                             Countries, then the parties thereupon shall
                             attempt in good faith to negotiate an amendment to
                             the License Agreement to incorporate such
                             countries. The parties shall attempt to conclude
                             negotiations within sixty (60) days or such longer
                             period as may be agreed by the parties. In the
                             event that LICENSOR and LICENSEE do not enter into
                             such an amendment to the Agreement during this
                             time limit or any agreed extension thereof,
                             LICENSOR may enter into an agreement with a third
                             party for the licensing of such rights in the
                             Additional Countries. Nothing herein shall
                             obligate LICENSOR or LICENSEE to reach an
                             agreement on the terms of such an amendment with
                             LICENSEE

               annual statement, certified to be correct by an officer of
               LICENSEE, which sets forth the actual net wholesale sales volume
               for such Royalty Year. If the actual net wholesale sales volume
               for such Royalty Year is less than ***, LICENSOR shall be
               entitled to terminate this Agreement, effective upon the
               expiration of the notice period set forth below, by notifying the
               LICENSEE of such termination in writing within fifteen (15) days
               of receipt of such annual statement.

               There shall be no right to renew this Agreement for additional
               terms beyond that set forth above. However, the parties may chose
               to renew the Agreement thereafter upon such terms and conditions
               as they may mutually agree in writing.

Item 8. Royalties:

               LICENSEE shall pay LICENSOR in each Royalty Year ***. As used
               herein, "net wholesale sales volume" shall mean gross wholesale
               sales of the Licensed Products shipped by LICENSEE, exclusive of
               transportation costs or taxes separately stated on the invoice,
               less returns, markdowns and allowances in the ordinary course of
               business, but such returns, markdowns and allowances shall not
               exceed ***, without the approval of LICENSOR, which shall not be
               unreasonably withheld, provided, however, such returns, markdowns
               and allowances shall in no event exceed *** in any one Royalty
               Year. Except as specifically provided for above, no other
               deductions shall be made, including, without limitation,
               deductions for other discounts, markdowns, advertising
               allowances, rebates, donations, uncollectable accounts or costs.

Item 9. Royalty Years and Royalty Quarters:

               As used herein, a "Royalty Quarter" shall mean a calendar quarter
               except that the first Royalty Quarter of the first Royalty Year
               shall commence as of the date hereof and end on September 30
               2003. As used herein, a "Royalty Year" shall mean the Year
               commencing July 1 and ending June 30 except that the first
               Royalty Year shall commence on the date hereof and end on June
               30, 2004.

Item 10. Minimum Royalties, Guaranteed Minimum Sales and Projected Sales:

               Minimum Royalties for the first Royalty Year shall be U.S. $***
               payable as follows:

               ***

               ***

               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or
               elsewhere in this Agreement, LICENSEE shall not, in any one
               Royalty Year, be required to remit any amount in respect of
               royalty payments to the extent that, but only to the extent that,
               the aggregate amount of all royalties paid on or before the date
               of such remittance for such Royalty Year exceeds the greater of
               (1) the aggregate amount of Percentage Royalties due and payable
               for such Royalty Year or (2) the aggregate Minimum Royalties due
               and payable for such Royalty Year through to such date. This
               provision shall not limit the requirement for LICENSEE to pay any
               additional amounts determined to be due pursuant to any audit
               conducted by LICENSOR for the then current year and/or any prior
               year(s) or any other amounts then due, as set forth in this
               Agreement.

               The excess of Percentage Royalties over Minimum Royalties, if
               any, due LICENSOR shall be paid within thirty (30) calendar days
               after the end of each calendar quarter ("Royalty Quarter") of
               each Royalty Year.

               The Guaranteed Minimum Sales of the Licensed Products during each
               Royalty Year shall be:

               Royalty Year 4-ending 06/30/07   $***

               Renewal Term:
               Royalty Year-ending 06/30/08     $***
               Royalty Year-ending 06/30/09     $***

               The Projected/Forecasted Sales of the Licensed Products for the
               Royalty Years set forth above are:

               Royalty Year 1                   $***

               image and concept of the Nautica Names and Marks and the
               implementation of such image and concept in the Territory.

               LICENSEE shall, at its own cost and expense, send the appropriate
               number of LICENSEE's employees as determined by LICENSOR to
               attend at least four design and/or marketing meetings at the
               offices of the LICENSOR during each 12 calendar month period.

Item 12.       The President and other exclusive senior personnel, namely, vice
               presidents, directors, managers, designers, and product
               merchandisers involved exclusively in LICENSEE's business shall
               be individuals approved by LICENSOR, which approval shall be
               granted in LICENSOR's sole reasonable judgement.

Item 13.       Additional Covenants:

               LICENSEE understands, covenants and agrees that:

               (a) All labels, packaging, marketing materials, fixturing,
               signage and POS (point of sale) images used for the Licensed
               Products shall be subject to the approval of LICENSOR, which
               approval may be granted or withheld at LICENSOR's sole
               discretion. LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that such approval
               by LICENSOR may be based upon or reflect LICENSOR's subjective
               standards of quality and aesthetics taste, marketability and
               suitability for use in conjunction with the Nautica Names and
               Marks.

               (b) LICENSEE shall utilize LICENSOR's designated label and tag
               suppliers or other approved resources for use on or with the
               Licensed Products; provided that, LICENSOR shall not receive
               consideration from such suppliers for such purchases. LICENSEE
               shall negotiate the terms of its business relationship directly
               with these suppliers.

               (c) The reasonable cost of samples, prints, artwork and

               days of receipt of invoices from LICENSOR.

               (d) LICENSEE agrees to pay LICENSOR a reasonable design fee as

               showroom, press events, tradeshows, photo shoots and other
               similar events, which design work shall be performed by
               LICENSOR's designated design and architectural staff, and shall
               be billed to LICENSEE at a rate of $50.00 to $100.00 per hour.

               (e) LICENSEE shall discuss and agree with LICENSOR on the
               suggested retail prices for the Licensed Products, to be
               presented solely in full compliance with the law.

               (f) Each design for the Licensed Products, including the nature,
               quality, color and style of the Licensed Products, shall be
               subject to the approval of LICENSOR, which approval may be
               granted or withheld at LICENSOR's sole, absolute and unreviewable
               discretion. LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that such approval
               by LICENSOR will be based upon LICENSOR's subjective standards of
               quality and aesthetics.

               (g) LICENSEE shall only sell to accounts which will enhance the
               image and prestige of the Nautica Names and Marks and which are
               pre-approved by LICENSOR in writing. If such an account would not
               enhance the image or prestige of the Nautica Names and Marks, as
               determined by LICENSOR in its sole and reasonable discretion,
               then LICENSEE shall discontinue selling to such account
               immediately, subject to filling bona fide orders previously
               accepted by LICENSOR; provided however, that such reasonable
               discretion may based upon or reflect LICENSOR's subjective
               standards of, quality, taste aesthetics, marketability and
               suitability for use in conjunction with the Nautica Names and
               Marks. LICENSEE shall submit to LICENSOR a list of accounts for
               LICENSOR's prior written approval.

               (h) LICENSEE agrees that in no event shall net wholesale sales
               volume of the Licensed Products to LICENSOR approved "off-price
               accounts" (as hereinafter defined) in any Royalty Year exceed ***
               of aggregate net wholesale sales volume for such Royalty Year,
               without the approval of LICENSOR, which shall not be unreasonably
               withheld, provided however, that such sales to "off-price"
               accounts shall not exceed *** of the net wholesale sales volume
               in any one Royalty Year. As used herein, "off-price accounts"
               means a store or customer that is considered by the industry to
               sell predominantly or exclusively at less than normal retail
               prices, such as T.J. Maxx. Sales by LICENSEE to off-price
               accounts, as are sales by LICENSEE to any account, are subject to
               the approval of LICENSOR as provided for in the preceding
               paragraph. The reasonable determination by LICENSOR that an
               account is an off-price account shall be binding upon LICENSEE.
               Further, as a condition of sales to such "off-price accounts"
               LICENSEE shall prohibit the "off-price account" from advertising
               the availability of the Licensed Products for sale at such
               "off-price account"

               (i) LICENSEE agrees that in no event shall the sale of
               "off-price" Licensed Products exceed *** of net wholesale sales
               volume. As used herein, "off-price" merchandise means the
               Licensed Products that are sold at a discount of at least ***
               below LICENSEE's regular wholesale line price for such
               merchandise. In addition to all other remedies that the LICENSOR
               may have if LICENSEE violates this provision, for all "off-price
               sales" that exceed *** of the net wholesale sales volume,
               LICENSEE shall be required to pay royalties at *** on the dollar
               value of "off-price" sales that exceed *** of the net wholesale
               sales volume.

               (j) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
               LICENSEE agrees to sell reasonable quantities of Licensed
               Products at a *** discount, from Licensee's regular full
               wholesale price, to all Nautica full price stores owned by


                                       35




<PAGE>

               LICENSOR and/or its  affiliates.  Such sales shall not be counted
               as "off-price" sales for purposes of this Agreement.

               (k) LICENSEE will prepare and market all of the Licensed Products
               in exclusive Nautica brand catalogs, and/or through "look books"
               and/or CD-ROMS to be reviewed and approved in advance by
               LICENSOR, as a condition of distribution. The new exclusive
               Nautica brand catalogs, "look books" and/or CD-ROMS must be
               produced at least once per Royalty Year, and shall feature all of
               the approved Licensed Products. LICENSOR shall have final
               approval on the LICENSEE's SKU plan, as well as all other
               features of the exclusive Nautica brand catalog, "look books"
               and/or CD-ROMS, including but not limited to the models, format,
               print, and overall quality.

               (l) LICENSEE agrees to participate at appropriate trade shows as
               agreed by LICENSOR and LICENSEE. It is agreed that LICENSEE shall
               participate in at least five (5) major trade shows per Royalty
               Year, as available, which currently shall include the August
               ISAM/Magic, Miami Swim Show, Surf Expo, Lyon Swim Show and the
               London Swim Show trade show(s). At such trade shows, the Licensed
               Products will have a dedicated space built to LICENSOR's design
               specifications, provided however, neither the Lyon Swim Show nor
               the London Swim Show will have a dedicated space unless LICENSOR
               and LICENSEE agree to include the respective country rights in
               the Territory. The space, both dedicated and non-dedicated, shall
               be funded completely by LICENSEE. LICENSOR's design team shall
               provide the design specifications to LICENSEE and LICENSEE shall
               be obligated to pay for the LICENSOR's costs associated with such
               services and designs. LICENSEE shall be obligated to pay for such
               costs within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoices from
               LICENSOR.

               (m) LICENSEE shall pay for the costs associated with having two
               (2) representatives of LICENSOR attend catalog, advertising and
               marketing photo shoots of the Licensed Products for the purposes
               of supervising the styling and merchandising of the Licensed
               Products and for any other legitimate business purposes
               associated with this Agreement, as determined by LICENSOR.

               (n) LICENSEE also shall pay for all reasonable costs and
               expenses, including without limitation costs for lodging, travel
               (business class) and meals incurred by representatives of
               LICENSOR to attend such business meetings in the offices of
               LICENSEE, not to exceed ***.

               (o) LICENSEE agrees that it will not manufacture, market,
               distribute and/or sell products that are similar to and/or are in
               the same product categories as the Licensed Products, under the
               following trademarks: *** Further, if LICENSEE enters into an
               agreement in the future to manufacture, market and sell a brand
               that the LICENSOR reasonably believes in competitive with
               LICENSOR, then LICENSOR shall have the right to require that
               LICENSEE not assign any of the design, or product merchandising
               staff primarily devoted to the Licensed Products to work on such
               purportedly competitive products.

               (p) LICENSEE shall not sell any of the Licensed Products without
               the Nautica Names and Marks permanently affixed thereon, unless
               LICENSOR shall otherwise approve in writing.

               (q) LICENSEE agrees to build a dedicated showroom in New York
               City for the Licensed Products at a location acceptable to
               LICENSOR and such other locations as may be agreed between the
               parties (the "Licensee Showrooms"). The Licensee Showrooms shall
               be built by LICENSEE in accordance with the "Nautica concept", as
               defined from time to time by LICENSOR, in its sole discretion,
               and shall be of the same quality standard and image as the
               showroom maintained by Nautica International, Inc. ("NII")
               currently located at 40 West 57th Street, New York, New York.
               LICENSEE shall obtain LICENSOR's reasonable approval with regard
               to the size of the Licensee Showroom. LICENSEE agrees to build a
               Licensee Showroom on or before the launch of the Licensed
               Products. The parties acknowledge and agree that LICENSEE intends
               to move its corporate offices (including all showrooms) in or
               about October, 2003, and that accordingly, Licensee shall not be
               obligated to make substantial expenditures to develop and build
               the Licensee Showroom in its current facilities. Thereafter, in
               its new premises LICENSEE shall build the Licensee Showroom in
               accordance with this provision. LICENSEE further agrees to stock
               and maintain the Licensee Showroom at all times during the Term
               of this Agreement. The designs and specifications of the
               showrooms shall be obtained from LICENSOR by LICENSEE. LICENSEE
               shall pay LICENSOR for the reasonable cost associated with
               reviewing and/or developing plans for the Licensee Showroom in
               LICENSEE's new facilities.

               (r) LICENSEE agrees to operate the business through a personnel
               grouping or other division of LICENSEE dedicated to the Nautica
               business.

               (s) LICENSEE shall be obligated to participate in Nautica's
               fixturing program for the Licensed Products, as may reasonably be
               required by LICENSOR; provided however, that such reasonable
               requirement may be based upon or reflect LICENSOR's subjective
               standards of, quality, taste aesthetics, marketability and
               suitability for use in conjunction with the Nautica Names and
               Marks. The amounts required to manufacture and install the
               fixturing shall not be accounted for as an advertising
               expenditure in LICENSEE's advertising budget, as established in
               Item 14 of this Schedule B.

               (t) The design of fixtures and each retail corner and
               shop-in-shop shall be obtained by LICENSEE from LICENSOR and
               LICENSEE shall pay the reasonable cost of obtaining such designs

               LICENSOR's shall the right to meet and confer or to negotiate
               with other prospective licensees shall not in any way affect
               LICENSEE's rights, if any, to renew this Agreement. In addition,
               in the event that this Agreement is for any reason not renewed
               with LICENSEE at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration
               date of this Agreement (either as to the original expiration date
               or the expiration date following renewal, whichever is
               applicable), LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that LICENSOR may
               at any time thereafter, without breach of this Agreement: (i)
               enter into a license agreement with one or more licensees for the

               licensee or licensees to commence developing and presenting a
               line of Licensed Products and to begin promoting, marketing and
               selling the Licensed Products to the trade, anything to the
               contrary contained in this Agreement to the contrary
               notwithstanding. LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that the
               provisions of this paragraph are intended to provide, to the
               fullest extent practical, a seamless transition to the consumers
               of the product lines licensed hereunder from LICENSEE to a third
               party or third parties succeeding to the rights of LICENSEE
               hereunder.

               (v) LICENSEE's proposals for Gifts-With-Purchase ("GWP"),
               Purchase with Purchase ("PWP") and gifts given without the
               requirement of purchase ("Gifts") shall be presented to LICENSOR
               for approval, which approval may be granted or withheld at
               LICENSOR'S sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion. All such
               Gifts, GWP's, PWP's and other gifts proposed must be of high
               quality. If approved, LICENSOR may in its sole discretion attach
               such conditions on such gifts as the design, timing, quality, and
               royalty amount if any. All approved Gifts, GWP's, PWP's and other
               gifts may be given at LICENSEE's sole expense, and shall not be
               credited against LICENSEE's required advertising budget as set
               forth in Item 14 of this Schedule B. A reasonable number of
               samples shall be provided to LICENSOR free of charge to LICENSOR.
               Provided that LICENSEE desires to offer women's bags ("Bags) as
               Gifts, GWP's or PWP's and LICENSOR's licensee for bags offers to
               sell such Bags to LICENSEE and such Bags are of equal or higher
               quality and competitively priced with the Bags from other
               sources, and such Bags are approved by LICENSOR, LICENSEE agrees
               to purchase such Bags from LICENSOR's licensee.

               (w) If two (2) times within any Royalty Year, LICENSEE shall not
               make any payment due within the time frames (including applicable
               notice and cure periods) required in this Agreement, then
               LICENSEE agrees to establish and maintain, or cause to be

                     Royalty Year 3   US $***

               Thereafter, LICENSOR shall be authorized to draw down on this
               Letter of Credit, without notice, if any amount due pursuant to
               this Agreement has not been paid by LICENSEE within ten (10) days
               of the time established herein for such payment.

               the amount required as set forth above, a replacement Letter of

               of Credit shall permit partial drawings in integral multiples of

               in an amount equal to or greater than U.S. $*** in the aggregate,
               a new additional Letter of Credit shall be established for the
               aggregate amount of such draws. Whenever a replacement or a new
               Letter of Credit is required to be established and such
               replacement or new Letter of Credit is not established within ten
               (10) days thereafter, such failure to establish a replacement or
               new Letter of Credit shall be grounds for automatic termination
               of the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 (i) hereof.

               (x) Except as otherwise authorized herein, LICENSEE may not sell

          LICENSEE's obligations under any of the Guaranteed Documents or any
          amendment, waiver or other modification of such Guaranteed Document
          (except to the extent of such amendment, waiver or modification), or
          substitution, release or exchange of collateral for or other guaranty
          of any of the Guaranteed Obligations (except to the extent of such
          substitution, release or exchange) without the consent of the
          Guarantor, any priority or preference to which any other obligations
          of the LICENSEE may be entitled over the LICENSEE's obligations under
          any of the Guaranteed Documents, or, to the fullest extent permitted
          by applicable law, any other circumstance that might otherwise
          constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the
          obligations of a surety or guarantor including, without limitation,
          any defense arising out of any laws of the United States of America or
          any State thereof which would either exempt, modify or delay the due
          or punctual payment and performance of the obligations of the
          Guarantor hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
          it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following
          shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, affect the
          liability of the Guarantor hereunder: (i) the extension of the time
          for or waiver, amendment or other modification of, at any time and
          from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor, the LICENSEE's
          performance of or compliance with any of its obligations under the
          Guaranteed Documents (except that such extension or waiver shall be
          given effect in determining the obligations of the Guarantor
          hereunder), (ii) any assignment, transfer, sublicense, (iii) any
          merger or consolidation of the LICENSEE or the Guarantor into or with
          any other person or (iv) any change in the ownership of any shares of
          capital stock of the LICENSEE.

     (c)  This Guaranty is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of
          payment and performance and not merely of collectibility and is in no
          way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the
          LICENSEE any unpaid amounts due or otherwise to enforce performance by
          the LICENSEE. The Guarantor specifically agrees that, without
          limitation, it shall not be necessary or required, and that the
          Guarantor shall not be entitled to require, that LICENSOR (i) file
          suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgement
          against the LICENSEE for the Guaranteed Obligations, or (ii) make any
          effort at collection of the Guaranteed Obligations from the LICENSEE,
          or (iii) foreclose against or seek to realize upon any security now or
          hereafter existing for the Guaranteed Obligations, or (iv) file suit
          or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgement against
          any other person liable for the Guaranteed Obligations, or make any
          effort at collection of the Guaranteed Obligations from any such other
          person, or exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which the
          LICENSOR is or may be entitled in connection with the Guaranteed
          Obligations or any security or other guaranty therefor, or (v) assert
          or file any claim against the assets of the LICENSEE or any other
          guarantor or other person liable for the


                                       47




<PAGE>

          Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, before or as a condition
          of enforcing the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty or
          requiring the payment of said Guaranteed Obligations by the Guarantor
          hereunder, or at any time thereafter.

     (d)  The Guarantor agrees that, without limiting the generality of this
          Guaranty, if default shall have occurred and be continuing and
          LICENSOR shall be prevented by applicable law from exercising its
          remedies (any of them) under the License Agreement, LICENSOR (or any
          assignee thereof) shall be entitled to receive hereunder from the
          Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums that would otherwise been
          due from the LICENSEE had such remedies been able to be exercised. The
          Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives any requirement that, as a
          condition precedent to the enforcement of the obligations of the
          Guarantor hereunder, the LICENSEE or all or any one or more of any
          other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations be joined as
          parties to any proceedings for the enforcement of any provision of
          this Guaranty.

     2.   No Implied Third Party Beneficiaries. This Guaranty shall not be
          deemed to create any right in any person except LICENSOR and shall not
          be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for
          the benefit of any other person.

     3.   Waiver; No Setoff; Reinstatement; Subrogation. The Guarantor waives
          notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the performance or
          nonperformance by the LICENSEE, demand for payment from the LICENSEE
          or any other Person, notice of nonpayment or failure to perform on the
          part of the LICENSEE, diligence, presentment, protest, dishonor and,
          to the fullest extent permitted by law, all other demands or notices
          whatsoever, other than the request for payment hereunder and notice to
          the extent provided for in Section 1 hereof. The obligations of the
          Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full
          force and effect until satisfaction of all Guaranteed Obligations
          hereunder and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall
          not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the existence of
          any claims, set-off, defense or other rights that the Guarantor may
          have at any time and from time to time against any Party, whether in
          connection herewith or any unrelated transactions. This Guaranty shall
          continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at
          any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must
          otherwise be returned by any Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
          reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution,
          liquidation or similar proceeding or circumstances with respect to the
          LICENSEE, all as though such payment had not been made. The Guarantor,
          by virtue of any such payment hereunder to a Party, shall be
          subrogated to such Party's claim against the LICENSEE or any other
          person relating thereto, provided that the Guarantor agrees that it
          shall not exercise any rights of subrogation that it may acquire due
          to any payment or payments made hereunder until all of the Guaranteed
          Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full.

     4.   Amendments, Etc. No amendment of or supplement to this Guaranty, or
          waiver or modification of, or consent under, the terms hereof, shall
          be


                                       48




<PAGE>

          effective unless evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by the
          Guarantor and each Party.

     5.   Payments. All payments by the Guarantor hereunder in respect of any
          Guaranteed Obligation shall be made in United States Dollars and
          otherwise as provided in the Guaranteed Document in which such
          Guaranteed Obligation is contained. All payments hereunder shall be
          made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
          account of, any taxes, levies, fees, imposts, duties, expenses,
          commissions, withholdings, assessments, or other charges, together
          with all penalties, fines, additions to tax and interest thereon
          (collectively, "Taxes"). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be
          deducted or withheld from any payment to any Party hereunder, the
          Guarantor shall increase the amount to be paid so that LICENSOR
          receives, after deduction or withholding on account of such Taxes, the
          full amount of the payment provided for in this Guaranty.

     6.   Integration; Counterparts; Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty
          (a)constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior
          agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the
          Guarantor and LICENSOR, with respect to the subject matter hereof, (b)
          may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
          an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
          same instrument, and (c) shall be binding upon the successors and
          permitted assigns of the Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of,
          and shall be enforceable by LICENSOR to the fullest extent permitted
          by applicable laws.

     7.   Notices. All requests, notices or other communications hereunder shall
          be in writing, addressed as follows:

                  If to the Guarantor:

                  Attention: General Counsel

     8.   No Waivers. No failure on the part of LICENSOR to exercise, no delay
          in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right or
          remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof; nor will any single
          or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any
          other further exercise of any other right or remedy. The remedies
          provided hereunder are cumulative, and not exclusive of remedies at
          law or equity.

     9.   Severability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
          provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
          jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
          extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
          the remaining provisions hereof or of any provision in any Guaranteed
          Document, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
          jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
          provision in any other jurisdiction.

     10.  GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY IS DELIVERED IN, AND SHALL (AND THE
          RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE PARTIES SHALL) IN ALL
          RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE
          WITH THE LAWS OF, THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     11.  Enforcement Expenses. The Guarantor agrees to pay to any Party any and
          all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees,
          including, but not limited to, allocated time charges of internal
          counsel, and expenses) incurred by LICENSOR in enforcing this
          Guaranty.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Guaranty to be duly
executed as of the date first hereinabove set forth.
