1.           TERM

The Company hereby agrees to employ Jenny as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and Jenny hereby agrees to serve in such capacity, for a term ending on December 31, 2012 (as the same may be earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the “Employment Term”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Company does not provide Jenny with written notice of its desire not to renew this Agreement at least 90 days prior to the end of the then current term (including any one year renewal term that is created as a result of this proviso), this Agreement shall automatically extend for one year from the end of the then current term.

2.           DUTIES

During the Employment Term, Jenny shall serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and shall be responsible for the duties attendant to such office and such other managerial duties and responsibilities with the Company consistent with such office as may be reasonably assigned to her from time to time.

(3)           the dissolution or liquidation of the Company;

 

(4)           the sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company; or

 

(5)           the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination:  (A) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of sufficient voting securities eligible to elect a majority of the directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by the Outstanding Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which the Outstanding Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of the Company’s Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no Person (other than Soros, Rho or any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of thirty percent (30% ) or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there

is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Board members at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination.

 

d.           For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall mean any entity that directly or indirectly is controlled by, controls or is under common control with the Company.

5.           EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT AND PERQUISITES

a.           During the Term of this Agreement, Jenny shall be entitled to reimbursement of all reasonable and actual out-of­-pocket expenses incurred by her in the performance of her services to the Company consistent with corporate policies, if any, provided that the expenses are properly accounted for.  In the event that any such reimbursement is taxable to Jenny, such reimbursement shall be made as soon practical upon Jenny’s submission of a request to be reimbursed, but in all events such reimbursement will be made prior to the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the applicable expense was incurred.

b.           During each calendar year of the Employment Term, Jenny shall be entitled to reasonable vacation with full pay in accordance with the Company’s then-current vacation policies; provided, however, that Jenny shall schedule such vacations at times convenient to the Company.

c.           During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall provide an annual allowance of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for the purchase of term life insurance by the Company for the benefit of Jenny (which shall be in lieu of any other life insurance benefit) and the purchase of a supplemental disability insurance policy.  Jenny shall be entitled to participate in all health insurance, dental insurance, long-term disability insurance and other employee benefit plans instituted by the Company from time to time on the same terms and conditions as other similarly situated employees of the Company, to the extent permitted by law.

6.           NON-COMPETITION; NON-SOLICITATION

a.           In consideration of the offer of employment, severance benefits and Options to be granted to Jenny hereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, during the Non-Competition Term, Jenny shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly, (i) enter into the employ of or render any services to any Competitive Business; (ii) engage in any Competitive Business for her own account; (iii) become associated with or interested in any Competitive Business as an individual, partner, shareholder, creditor, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, advisor or in any other relationship or capacity; (iv) employ or retain, or have or cause any other person or entity to employ or retain, any person who was employed or retained by the Company while Jenny was 

 

  

4

  

 

employed by the Company; or (v) solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company, for the benefit of a Competitive Business, any of its customers or other persons with whom the Company has a contractual relationship.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Competitive Business” shall mean any person, corporation, partnership, firm or other entity which sells or has plans to sell ten (10) or more brands of luxury or high-end designer apparel and/or fashion accessories at prices that are consistently discounted to manufacturer’s suggested retail prices.   However, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Jenny from investing her personal assets in the securities of any corporation or other business entity which is engaged in a Competitive Business if such securities are traded on a national stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market and if such investment does not result in her beneficially owning, at any time, more than three percent (3%) of the publicly-traded equity securities of such Competitive Business.  For purposes of this agreement, the “Non-Competition Term” shall mean a period beginning upon the commencement of the Employment Term and ending on the one (1) year anniversary of the end of the Employment Term.

b.           Jenny and the Company agree that the covenants of non-competition and non-solicitation contained in this paragraph 6 are reasonable covenants under the circumstances, and further agree that if, in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction, such covenants are not reasonable in any respect, such court shall have the right, power and authority to excise or modify such provision or provisions of these covenants as to the court shall appear not reasonable and to enforce the remainder of these covenants as so amended.  Jenny agrees that any breach of the covenants contained in this paragraph 6 would irreparably injure the Company.  Accordingly, Jenny agrees that the Company, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have in law or in equity, may obtain an injunction against Jenny from any court having jurisdiction over the matter, restraining any further violation of this paragraph 6.

7.           TERMINATION

(vi)

	
the termination of this Agreement by Jenny, which shall occur on not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice from Jenny.

b.           In the event that this Agreement is terminated during the Employment Term pursuant to paragraphs 7(a)(i), 7(a)(ii), 7(a)(v) or 7(a)(vi), the Company shall pay Jenny her base salary only through the date of termination.  In the event that this Agreement is terminated during the Employment Term pursuant to paragraphs 7(a)(iii) or 7(a)(iv), the Company shall pay Jenny, in lieu of all salary, compensation payments and perquisites set forth in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 (including bonus payments and unvested option grants, but excluding vested option grants) and contingent upon her continued performance of her obligations under Section 6, severance payments (the "Severance Payments") as follows:

c.           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any payments due under this Agreement would subject Jenny to any tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code if such payments were made at the time otherwise provided herein, then the payments that cause such taxation shall be payable in a single lump sum on the first day which is at least six (6) months after the date of Jenny’s “separation from service” as set forth in Code Section 409A(2)(A)(i) and the official guidance issued thereunder.

Upon the request of the Company and at its expense, Jenny shall sign all applications, assignments, instruments and papers and perform all acts necessary or desired by the Company in order to protect its rights and interests in any Developments.

e.           Jenny agrees that any breach of this paragraph 8 will cause irreparable damage to the Company and that, in the event of such breach, the Company will have, in addition to any and all remedies of law, including rights which the Company may have to damages, the right to equitable relief including, as appropriate, all injunctive relief or specific performance or other equitable relief.  Jenny understands and agrees that the rights and obligations set forth in paragraph 8 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
