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

Gentlemen:

         This letter sets forth the mutual understanding between Steerpike
(Overseas) Limited ("us", "we" or "Steerpike") and SLS Loudspeakers, A Division
of SLS International, Inc. ("SLS") concerning certain limited rights that
Steerpike is granting to SLS hereunder regarding the use of the name and
likeness of Gordon Sumner p/k/a "Sting" ("Artist") solely in connection with the
advertising, promotion and sale of SLS Loudspeakers (such SLS Loudspeakers are
sometimes referred to herein as the "Products"), subject to all of the terms and
conditions contained in this letter.

         (1) Steerpike hereby grants to SLS, for a period commencing with the
date hereof and continuing until July 31, 2005 (such period being referred to
herein as the "Term", and being subject to the early termination provisions of
Articles 4 and 5 of Exhibit A attached hereto), the following non-exclusive
rights:

         (a) Solely during the Term and in the United States, the right (as
further described below) to exhibit an audiovisual recording (the "Videotape")
provided by Steerpike to SLS which contains footage of Artist discussing his
endorsement of the Products. The Videotape will be provided to SLS no later than
ninety (90) days after the complete execution hereof (provided any production
activities undertaken by SLS in connection with the Videotape [and approved by
Steerpike] do not delay such provision of the Videotape to SLS), and any costs
incurred in connection with the production, shipping and exhibition of the
Videotape shall be SLS' sole responsibility. The Videotape may only be exhibited
by SLS in: (1) "internal", non-public corporate meetings; (2) shareholder
meetings and (3) audio equipment industry trade shows, and

                                       1
<PAGE>

such exhibition may only occur in connection with the promotion, advertising,
marketing and sale of the Products. The specific content and length of the
Videotape shall be determined in Steerpike's sole discretion; however: (i)
Steerpike will consult with SLS in good faith in connection with the content of
the Videotape; (ii) the final script for the Videotape shall be mutually
approved by Steerpike and SLS; and (iii) provided that SLS has made the Products
available to Steerpike (and installed them) at the location where the Videotape
is to be recorded (it being acknowledged and agreed that the choice of such
location is to be determined solely by Steerpike), Steerpike agrees to cause
Artist to appear with the Products in the Videotape.

         (b) Solely during the Term and in the United States, the right (as
further described below) to use, solely in trade and/or consumer print
advertisements for the Products (which such print advertisements may be placed
solely in music-related trade and/or consumer magazines/periodicals), a
photograph provided by Steerpike to SLS which features Artist's likeness.
Steerpike agrees that it will provide SLS with three (3) different photographs
(the "Photos") for SLS' use in accordance with this paragraph 1(b). The Photos
will be provided to SLS no later than 90 days after the complete execution
hereof (provided any production activities undertaken by SLS in connection with
the Photos [and approved by Steerpike] do not delay such provision of the Photos
to SLS), and any costs incurred in connection with the production, shipping and
use of the Photos shall be SLS' sole responsibility. Any advertisement embodying
any of the Photos, as well as the manner and specific use of the particular
Photo and the particular magazine (or other periodical) in which the
advertisement is to be run, shall be subject to Steerpike's prior written
approval, which may be withheld for any reason whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
provision of the Photos to SLS by Steerpike, SLS shall be solely responsible for
obtaining any and all necessary rights, licenses and approvals from any third
parties who have any rights or interest in the Photos. Steerpike agrees that,
provided that SLS has made the Products available to Steerpike (and installed
them) at the location where the Photos are to be taken (it being acknowledged
and agreed that the choice of such location is to be determined solely by
Steerpike), Steerpike will cause Artist to appear with the Products in the
Photos.

         (c) Solely during the Term and in the United States, the right to issue
one (1) press release (the "Press Release") in connection with the subject
matter hereof. The content and release date of the Press Release shall be
subject to Steerpike's prior written approval (provided, however, that any such
release date which is within ten (10) business days of the date of complete
execution hereof shall be deemed approved by Steerpike).

         (d) SLS acknowledges and agrees that all such approvals or disapprovals
are within Steerpike's sole discretion, and any item or use not approved by
Steerpike in writing is deemed to be disapproved. If SLS so requests, Steerpike
will provide SLS with specific reasons for any such disapproval so that SLS can
attempt to address Steerpike's concerns and correct any stated problem and, if
applicable, resubmit materials for Steerpike's approval or disapproval.

                                       2

         (2) The parties acknowledge that the Videotape and the Photos were
created outside of the United States and the United Kingdom, and that, as
between Steerpike and SLS, Steerpike is the sole owner and copyright holder of
such items.

         (3) Steerpike hereby designates Artist's manager, Kathy Schenker, as
its authorized representative for purposes of providing SLS with any approvals
SLS is required to receive from Steerpike pursuant to this letter agreement, and
all requests hereunder for Steerpike's approval shall be submitted to Kathy
Schenker, KSM, Inc., 1776 Broadway, Suite 1001, New York, New York 10019,
Facsimile No.: (212) 333-4104.

         (4) In consideration for the rights granted hereunder, SLS agrees to
grant (pursuant to the option agreement between the parties attached hereto as
Exhibit B [the "Option Agreement"]) to Steerpike options to purchase One Million
(1,000,000) shares of the common stock of SLS International, Inc. at the
exercise price of Twenty Five Cents ($.25) per share commencing on the date
hereof. The terms and conditions of such grant are more fully described in the
Option Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
this agreement shall not be deemed effective unless and until the Option
Agreement is fully and completely executed by Steerpike and SLS.

         (5) SLS will provide Steerpike with two (2) SLS HT 600 5.1 Speaker
Systems (the "Artist Speakers") at no charge. SLS will pay for all shipping and
handling charges associated with delivering the Artist Speakers to the parties
specified by Steerpike to SLS, and will provide Steerpike (and those parties
specified by Steerpike) with all of SLS' standard Product warranty(ies) in
connection with the Artist Speakers.

         (6) SLS acknowledges and agrees that Steerpike reserves all rights not
expressly granted to SLS hereunder, and Steerpike shall have no obligation of
any nature whatsoever to SLS in connection therewith. SLS acknowledges and
agrees that the rights granted herein do not transfer any title or interest in
or to Artist's name, likeness, image, voice or quotes, all of which are owned
(as applicable) by Steerpike, Artist and/or their affiliated entities.

         (7) During the Term and in the United States, Steerpike agrees that it
shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that Artist does not make any public
statements in derogation of SLS or the Products.

         (8) In addition to the terms set forth above in this letter agreement,
the Standard Terms and Conditions attached hereto as "Exhibit A" is incorporated
herein by reference and shall be deemed a part hereof.

                          STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

         These Standard Terms and Conditions shall be deemed fully incorporated
in the letter agreement (the "Underlying Agreement") to which this Exhibit A is
attached, and these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Underlying Agreement
shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "Agreement". SLS

All terms shall, unless expressly provided otherwise herein, have the same
respective meanings as set forth in the Underlying Agreement.

1.       INDEMNIFICATION.
         ----------------

         (a) (i) Licensor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Licensee,
and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors and employees
(each an "SLS Indemnitee", and collectively "SLS Indemnitees"), against any
claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, judgments, settlements and
expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs) ("Claim") arising out of (i) a breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant made by Licensor hereunder, or (ii) the failure of Licensor to perform
any of its obligations contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that
Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing within ten (10) days after Licensee
receives notification of any Claim or suit related thereto. In no event shall
Licensor be liable for any consequential damages or loss of profits which
Licensee may suffer arising out of same. The foregoing indemnity shall not be
construed to cover any claim with respect to which Licensee has committed to
indemnify Licensor under paragraph 1(b) below.

                  (ii) If any Claim is initiated against any SLS Indemnitee with
respect to which such SLS Indemnitee may make a claim against Licensor pursuant
to paragraph 1(a)(i), then the SLS Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice
of such Claim to the Licensor; provided, however, that the failure to so notify
the Licensor shall not relieve the Licensor from any liability under paragraph
1(a)(i) unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in prejudice
to or forfeiture of, substantive rights or defenses of the Licensor. Licensor,
at Licensor's own expense, shall have the option to assume the defense of such
Claim. If Licensor assumes the defense of such Claim, (i) Licensor shall keep
the SLS Indemnitee informed of all material developments and events relating to
such Claim, (ii) the SLS Indemnitee shall have the right to participate, at its
own expense, in the defense of such Claim (but such participation shall not be
deemed to give the SLS Indemnitee the right to control such defense), (iii) the
SLS Indemnitee shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Licensor in the
defense of such Claim, and (iv) Licensor shall not settle such Claim without the
prior written consent of the SLS Indemnitee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If Licensor fails to assume the defense of such Claim, or
fails to diligently defend such Claim, the SLS Indemnitee may assume the defense
of such Claim and

                                       6
<PAGE>

Licensor shall reimburse Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) as such expenses are incurred, relating to the
defense of such Claim.

         (b) (i) Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensor and Artist,
and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors,
representatives, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnitee" and collectively
"Indemnitees") from and against any and all Claims (including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or in connection
with (i) the design, manufacture, packaging, distribution, shipment,
advertising, promotion, sale, or exploitation of the Products (including,
without limitation, any Claim arising out of or in connection with (A) any
injury to or death of any person directly or indirectly arising out of or
resulting from the Products or any goods or services manufactured, sold or
offered by Licensee; (B) any damage to or loss of any property directly or
indirectly arising out of or resulting from the Products or any goods or
services manufactured, sold or offered by Licensee or (C) any injury or damage
arising from any claim or representation regarding the Products in any
advertising or other materials), (ii) any breach of any representation,
warranty, or covenant made by Licensee hereunder, or (iii) the failure of
Licensee to perform any of its obligations contained in this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee's indemnity shall
specifically apply to claims relating to or based upon defects in the Products,
whether hidden or obvious, it being agreed that any governmental order of recall
or injunction against distribution and/or sale shall, as between Licensee and
Licensor, be deemed conclusive proof of such defect for purposes of triggering
Licensee's indemnity hereunder. The foregoing indemnity shall not be construed
to cover any claim with respect to which Licensor has committed to indemnify
Licensee under Paragraph 1(a) above.

             (ii) If any Claim is initiated against any Indemnitee with
respect to which such Indemnitee may make a claim against Licensee pursuant to
paragraph 1(b)(i), then the Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice of such
Claim to the Licensee; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the
Licensee shall not relieve the Licensee from any liability under paragraph
1(b)(i) unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in prejudice
to or forfeiture of, substantive rights or defenses of the Licensee. Licensee,
at Licensee's own expense, shall have the option to assume the defense of such
Claim. If Licensee assumes the defense of such Claim, (i) Licensee shall keep
the Indemnitee informed of all material developments and events relating to such
Claim, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate, at its own
expense, in the defense of such Claim (but such participation shall not be
deemed to give the Indemnitee the right to control such defense), (iii) the
Indemnitee shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Licensee in the defense of
such Claim, and (iv) Licensee shall not settle such Claim without the prior
written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If Licensee fails to assume the defense of such Claim, or fails to
diligently defend such Claim, Indemnitee may assume the defense of such Claim
and Licensee shall reimburse Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) as such expenses are incurred, relating to the
defense of such Claim.

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

Gentlemen:

         This letter sets forth the mutual understanding between Steerpike, Inc.
("us", "we" or "Steerpike") and SLS Loudspeakers, A Division of SLS
International, Inc. ("SLS") concerning certain limited rights that Steerpike is
granting to SLS hereunder in connection with the upcoming Gordon Sumner p/k/a
"Sting" ("Artist") 2004/2005 world tour (the "Tour"), subject to all of the
terms and conditions contained in this letter.

         (1) For good and valuable consideration (receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged), Steerpike hereby grants to SLS, for a period commencing with the
date of the first concert of the Tour and continuing until the date that is the
earlier of (i) the date of the last concert of the Tour or (ii) July 31, 2005
(such period being referred to herein as the "Term", and being subject to the
early termination provisions of Articles 4 and 5 of Exhibit A attached hereto),
the following non-exclusive rights:

                  (a) (i) Solely with respect to Tour concerts occurring in the
United States, and subject to the provisions of paragraph 1(a)(ii) below
relating to venue restrictions and regulations, SLS shall have the right to hold
up to six (6) "Meet and Greet" backstage parties during the Tour, which the
Artist will attend for at least fifteen (15) minutes. SLS will arrange and pay
for the expenses incurred for such "Meet and Greets". SLS acknowledges and
agrees that: (i) the scheduling and location of such "Meet and Greet" parties
shall be determined solely by Steerpike (but Steerpike will use reasonable
efforts to consult with SLS in connection therewith); (ii) whether a "Meet and
Greet" party will take place prior to or after the relevant concert will be
determined solely by Steerpike (and the parties acknowledge that it is currently
contemplated by Steerpike that each such `Meet and Greet" party will take place
prior to the relevant concert); and (iii) no more than twenty (20) guests shall
attend any such "Meet and

                                       1

<PAGE>

Greet" party. SLS acknowledges and agrees that no "personal" cameras (or
"personal" photography) will be allowed at any "Meet and Greet" party, and that
if SLS desires to have photographs of its guests taken at any such "Meet and
Greet" party, such photographs must be taken by a professional photographer (at
SLS' sole cost and expense).

                           (ii) SLS acknowledges that Steerpike has advised it
that the "Meet and Greet" rights described above (e.g., provision of space for
backstage parties) are subject to the various venues' restrictions and
regulations (and may also be subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(b)(ii)
below). Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, SLS acknowledges that the grant of any right herein by Steerpike to
conduct the particular "Meet and Greets" described above which is subject to
such venue restrictions and regulations is only an acknowledgment that, once
such activity is approved by Steerpike in accordance with paragraph 2 below,
Steerpike and Artist will have no objection to such activity. Without limiting
the foregoing, Steerpike agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the concert promoters and the proprietors of the venues to
comply with the foregoing "Meet and Greet" activities. In the event that any
such promoter or venue proprietor refuses to agree to comply with any of
Steerpike's instructions, requests or contractual provisions concerning the
foregoing "Meet and Greets", Steerpike will inform you of such fact and use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such promoter or venue proprietor to
agree to comply. It is specifically understood and agreed, however, that any
such concert promoter's or venue proprietor's failure to comply or agree with
Steerpike's instructions, requests or contractual provisions shall not be deemed
a breach hereof.

                  (b) (i) Solely with respect to Tour concerts occurring in the
United States, SLS shall also have the right to purchase, at face value, up to a
maximum of: (1) 20 prime location (i.e., best available excluding the first 15
rows) tickets for each such concert held at a venue with a seating capacity
greater than four thousand (4,000) seats; or (2) fifteen (15) prime location
tickets for each such concert held at a venue with a seating capacity of four
thousand (4,000) seats or less. Such tickets may be used during the Term by SLS
solely in connection with Steerpike-approved (in accordance with paragraph 2
below) sales incentives and trade and consumer promotional activities conducted
by SLS solely in connection with the advertising, promotion and sale of SLS
Loudspeakers (such SLS Loudspeakers are sometimes referred to herein as the
"Products"). In connection with such tickets: (X) Steerpike shall advise SLS of
the "on-sale" dates for the tickets for each such Tour concert as soon as
possible; and (Y) provided that SLS notifies Steerpike of its ticket request for
each such concert at least seven (7) days prior to the "on-sale" date for the
concert concerned, Steerpike shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
procure that such ticket request is filled prior to such "on-sale" date.

                           (ii) SLS acknowledges that Steerpike has advised it
that the ticket-related rights described above are under the ultimate control of
the local (or national) concert promoters and may also be subject to compliance
with the laws or regulations of any government or governmental agency having
jurisdiction over the promoters, concerts and/or the other activities undertaken
hereunder. Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything to the

                                       2
<PAGE>

contrary contained herein, SLS acknowledges that the grant of any right herein
by Steerpike to conduct a particular ticket-related activity over which the
concert promoters exercise ultimate control, or which may be subject to
compliance with the laws or regulations of any government or governmental
agency, is only an acknowledgment that, once the activity is approved by
Steerpike in accordance with paragraph 2 below, Steerpike and Artist will have
no objection to such activity. Without limiting the foregoing, Steerpike agrees
that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such concert
promoters to comply with the foregoing ticket-related activity. In the event
that any such promoter refuses to agree to comply with any of Steerpike's
instructions, requests or contractual provisions concerning the foregoing
ticket-related activity, Steerpike will inform you of such fact and use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such promoter to agree to comply. It is
specifically understood and agreed, however, that any such concert promoter's
failure to comply or agree with Steerpike's instructions, requests or
contractual provisions shall not be deemed a breach hereof.

                  (c) Solely during the Term and in the United States, Steerpike
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause A&M Records, a division
of UMG Recordings, Inc. ("A&M") to sell to SLS copies of Artist's 2003 album
(tentatively entitled "Sacred Love") (the "Album") at A&M's wholesale price
(subject to A&M's other standard terms and conditions of sale). A&M's refusal to
do so shall not be deemed a breach hereof. Such purchased Albums may be used
during the Term by SLS solely in connection with Steerpike-approved (in
accordance with paragraph 2 below) sales incentives and trade and consumer
promotional activities conducted by SLS solely in connection with the
advertising, promotion and sale of the Products.

                  (d) Steerpike agrees to consider the use of the Products in
connection with the audio equipment used on the Tour; however, neither Steerpike
nor Artist shall have any obligation whatsoever to use the Products, and any
decision to not use the Products shall not be deemed a breach hereof.

         (2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, SLS
shall not undertake any activity hereunder without obtaining Steerpike's prior
written approval as to each of the following: (i) the general concept of the
particular activity; (ii) the particular Artist-related materials to be used (if
any); (iii) the manner and actual use of such Artist-related materials in
connection with such activity; (iv) all other creative elements relating to such
activity; and (v) the final execution of the approved concept or item (e.g., the
final version of each SLS sales incentive or promotional activity, etc.).
Steerpike will endeavor to respond in writing as to whether each request for
approval is approved or disapproved within seven (7) business days of its
receipt thereof. Any such disapproval by Steerpike will include specific reasons
therefor so that SLS can attempt to address Steerpike's concerns and/or correct
any stated problem and, if applicable, resubmit materials for Steerpike's
approval or disapproval. Steerpike's failure to respond to any such request for
approval within seven (7) business days of its receipt thereof shall be deemed
to be disapproval thereof (however, if SLS requests, Steerpike will provide SLS
with specific reasons for any such disapproval so that SLS can attempt to
address Steerpike's concerns and/or correct any stated problem and, if
applicable, resubmit materials for Steerpike's approval or disapproval).

         (3) Steerpike hereby designates Artist's manager, Kathy Schenker, as
its authorized representative for purposes of providing SLS with any approvals
SLS is required to receive from Steerpike pursuant to this letter agreement, and
all requests hereunder for Steerpike's approval shall be submitted to Kathy
Schenker, KSM, Inc., 1776 Broadway, Suite 1001, New York, New York 10019,
Facsimile No.: (212) 333-4104.

         (4) SLS acknowledges and agrees that Steerpike reserves all rights not
expressly granted to SLS hereunder, and Steerpike shall have no obligation of
any nature whatsoever to SLS in connection therewith. SLS acknowledges and
agrees that the rights granted herein do not transfer any title or interest in
or to Artist's name, likeness, image, voice or quotes, all of which are owned
(as applicable) by Steerpike, Artist and/or their affiliated entities.

         (5) During the Term and in the United States, Steerpike agrees that it
shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that Artist does not make any public
statements in derogation of SLS or the Products.

         (6) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this
agreement shall not be deemed effective unless and until the stock option
agreement between Steerpike (Overseas) Limited ("SOL") and SLS dated as of May
19, 2003 (the "Option Agreement") is fully and completely executed by SOL and
SLS.

         (7) In addition to the terms set forth above in this letter agreement,
the Standard Terms and Conditions attached hereto as "Exhibit A" is incorporated
herein by reference and shall be deemed a part hereof.

                          STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

         These Standard Terms and Conditions shall be deemed fully incorporated
in the letter agreement (the "Underlying Agreement") to which this Exhibit A is
attached, and these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Underlying Agreement
shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "Agreement". SLS

"Licensee" and Steerpike, Inc. is herein referred to as "Licensor". All terms
shall, unless expressly provided otherwise herein, have the same respective
meanings as set forth in the Underlying Agreement.

1.       INDEMNIFICATION.
         ----------------

         (a) (i) Licensor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Licensee,
and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors and employees
(each an "SLS Indemnitee", and collectively "SLS Indemnitees"), against any
claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, judgments, settlements and
expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs) ("Claim") arising out of (i) a breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant made by Licensor hereunder, or (ii) the failure of Licensor to perform
any of its obligations contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that
Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing within ten (10) days after Licensee
receives notification of any Claim or suit related thereto. In no event shall
Licensor be liable for any consequential damages or loss of profits which
Licensee may suffer arising out of same. The foregoing indemnity shall not be
construed to cover any claim with respect to which Licensee has committed to
indemnify Licensor under paragraph 1(b) below.

         (ii) If any Claim is initiated against any SLS Indemnitee with respect
to which such SLS Indemnitee may make a claim against Licensor pursuant to
paragraph 1(a)(i), then the SLS Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice of
such Claim to the Licensor; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the
Licensor shall not relieve the Licensor from any liability under paragraph
1(a)(i) unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in prejudice
to or forfeiture of, substantive rights or defenses of the Licensor. Licensor,
at Licensor's own expense, shall have the option to assume the defense of such
Claim. If Licensor assumes the defense of such Claim, (i) Licensor shall keep
the SLS Indemnitee informed of all material developments and events relating to
such Claim, (ii) the SLS Indemnitee shall have the right to participate, at its
own expense, in the defense of such Claim (but such participation shall not be
deemed to give the SLS Indemnitee the right to control such defense), (iii) the
SLS Indemnitee shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Licensor in the
defense of such Claim, and (iv) Licensor shall not settle such Claim without the
prior written consent of the SLS Indemnitee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If Licensor fails to assume the defense of such Claim, or
fails to diligently defend such Claim, the SLS Indemnitee may assume the defense
of such Claim and

                                       7
<PAGE>

Licensor shall reimburse Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) as such expenses are incurred, relating to the
defense of such Claim.

         (b) (i) Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensor and Artist,
and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors,
representatives, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnitee" and collectively
"Indemnitees") from and against any and all Claims, (including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or in connection
with (i) the design, manufacture, packaging, distribution, shipment,
advertising, promotion, sale, or exploitation of the Products (including,
without limitation, any Claim arising out of or in connection with (A) any
injury to or death of any person directly or indirectly arising out of or
resulting from the Products or any goods or services manufactured, sold or
offered by Licensee; (B) any damage to or loss of any property directly or
indirectly arising out of or resulting from the Products or any goods or
services manufactured, sold or offered by Licensee or (C) any injury or damage
arising from any claim or representation regarding the Products in any
advertising or other materials), (ii) any breach of any representation,
warranty, or covenant made by Licensee hereunder, or (iii) the failure of
Licensee to perform any of its obligations contained in this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee's indemnity shall
specifically apply to claims relating to or based upon defects in the Products,
whether hidden or obvious, it being agreed that any governmental order of recall
or injunction against distribution and/or sale shall, as between Licensee and
Licensor, be deemed conclusive proof of such defect for purposes of triggering
Licensee's indemnity hereunder. The foregoing indemnity shall not be construed
to cover any claim with respect to which Licensor has committed to indemnify
Licensee under Paragraph 1(a) above.

             (ii) If any Claim is initiated against any Indemnitee with respect
to which such Indemnitee may make a claim against Licensee pursuant to
paragraph 1(b)(i), then the Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice of such
Claim to the Licensee; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the
Licensee shall not relieve the Licensee from any liability under paragraph
1(b)(i) unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in prejudice
to or forfeiture of, substantive rights or defenses of the Licensee. Licensee,
at Licensee's own expense, shall have the option to assume the defense of such
Claim. If Licensee assumes the defense of such Claim, (i) Licensee shall keep
the Indemnitee informed of all material developments and events relating to such
Claim, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate, at its own
expense, in the defense of such Claim (but such participation shall not be
deemed to give the Indemnitee the right to control such defense), (iii) the
Indemnitee shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Licensee in the defense of
such Claim, and (iv) Licensee shall not settle such Claim without the prior
written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If Licensee fails to assume the defense of such Claim, or fails to
diligently defend such Claim, Indemnitee may assume the defense of such Claim
and Licensee shall reimburse Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) as such expenses are incurred, relating to the
defense of such Claim.

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

         The terms of this Agreement shall not be modified except by an
agreement in writing signed by both parties hereto. No waiver by either party of

         This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted pursuant to the laws

brought to enforce (or otherwise relating to) this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude
Licensor from bringing an action in any appropriate forum to enforce the terms
and provisions of this Agreement. Licensee hereby consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any State or Federal court empowered to enforce this Agreement
in the State of New York, New York County, and waives any objection thereto on

sentence shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Licensor may assign
this agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
restriction.

13.      CURE.
         -----

         The failure by Licensor to perform any of its obligations hereunder
shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement unless Licensee gives Licensor
written notice of such failure to perform and such failure is not corrected
within thirty (30) days from and after Licensor's receipt of such notice, or, if
such failure is not reasonably capable of being cured within such thirty (30)
day period, Licensor does not commence to cure such failure within such thirty
(30) day period and proceed with reasonable diligence to complete the curing of
such failure thereafter.
