The following is the Agreement
under which we will act as your collection agent. Subject to Section 15 below and Schedule 1, this Agreement amends, restates,
replaces, and supersedes any prior Collection Agency Agreements between Steven Madden, Ltd. and/or one or more of its affiliates
on the one hand, and Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc., on the other hand, including the Collection Agency Agreement dated July 10,
2009 and the agreements identified in Schedule 1 hereto. Capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Section 14 and
Schedule 1 hereof:

 

		1.	Collection of Receivables
                                         :

 

1.1. From time to
time so long as no Rosenthal Default has occurred and is continuing, you will refer all invoices evidencing Orders to us for collection
of the balance due (“Referred Accounts”) and you hereby appoint us as your collection agent with respect thereto,
and we shall have the right to collect (except as otherwise provided herein), and we shall provide the collection services for
such Referred Accounts and Receivables and serve as your collection agent, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this
Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, upon each sale of your Inventory or rendition by you of services you shall execute
and deliver to us such further and confirmatory evidence of our authority as collection agent with respect to your Receivables
as we reasonably require from time to time, including copies of invoices or such equivalent electronic document as we may designate
for such use, and all shipping or delivery receipts and such other proof of sale and delivery or performance. All invoices (and
other statements to Customers) evidencing Referred Accounts shall clearly state, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to us, that
each Receivable is payable to us in our capacity as collection agent on your behalf. The form on Exhibit A annexed hereto is satisfactory
to us. We understand and agree that with respect to CR Receivables, Orders withdrawn in accordance with Section 2 below and/or
any Orders with respect to an account debtor that we have previously denied Credit Approval that you have the right to retain other
collection agencies to provide collection agency services.

1.2. You or the
Credit Agreement Agent may recall, upon prior written notice to us, any Referred Account previously referred to us in your
sole discretion (other than Purchased Receivables for which we have paid you the Purchase Price thereof) during a Rosenthal
Default or a Credit Agreement Default (the “Redirection Right”), all of which accounts shall automatically
be deemed Charged Back by us to you at the time of our receipt of such notice. When an account is so recalled, we will
promptly, and no later than three (3) Business Days after issuance of such recall notice, cooperate with you, or your
designee or the Credit Agreement Agent, to notify your Customers that such Receivables have been reassigned from us to you or
your designee or the Credit Agreement Agent and that you or your designee or the Credit Agreement Agent shall have the sole
right to collect and otherwise deal with such Receivables, including without limitation, by delivering written authorization
to Customers to remit such payments in accordance with your instruction or the Credit Agreement Agent’s instruction. If
litigation has been initiated on such a withdrawn account, but not brought to judgment, we will cooperate in transitioning
the same and obtaining documentation needed to substitute legal counsel if and as you request. You shall be required to pay
all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by us in connection with any of the foregoing.

    	 	 	 

     

    

 

		2.	Credit and Approval:

 

Unless already covered
by a Credit Line established by us as hereinafter set forth, you will submit to us for our credit approval the principal terms
of each and every Order. We may, in our sole discretion, approve all or a portion of an Order, by issuing a Credit Approval, withdraw
any Credit Approval, withdraw or adjust any Credit Line, or suspend any Availability under a Credit Line, in each case at any time
solely before you deliver the Inventory or render the services. In addition, we may from time to time in our sole discretion upon
your request establish a Credit Line or Credit Lines pursuant to which you may ship to Customers. No Credit Approval, including
approval based upon shipment against Availability under a Credit Line shall be effective unless (i) the Inventory is shipped or
the services rendered, within the time specified therein, or if no time is specified, within thirty (30) days after the date our
Credit Approval is issued; (ii) the Customer has accepted delivery of the Inventory or performance of the services in the Order;
and (iii) a schedule of the Receivables(s) which arise as a result of the Order which is the subject of the Credit Approval has
been delivered to us before ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the goods or the performance of the service. Upon the
effectiveness of a Credit Approval, we shall be deemed to have accepted the Credit Risk (but not the risk of non-payment for any
other reason) to the extent of the dollar amount specified in the Credit Approval and the Receivable which is the subject thereof
shall, to the extent of the amount specified in the Credit approval, be a Credit Approved Receivable. If the dollar amount of the
Credit Approval is less than the amount of the Order, if we decline to issue any Credit Approval or withdraw any Credit Approval
to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement, you may, in your sole discretion, withdraw such Order from collection hereunder
to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement. In no event, however, shall we have any Credit Risk on any Receivable for
freight, samples, or sales not made in the ordinary course of your business. We may, in our sole discretion, upon written notice
to you (including by making such information available to you on our client web portal currently known as RAPID),withdraw any Credit
Approval, or withdraw or adjust any Credit Line, at any time before you deliver the Inventory or render the services, in which
event you may, in your sole discretion, withdraw such Order from collection hereunder to the extent permitted by the terms of this
Agreement.

 

		3.	Client Risk Receivables:

 

All CR Receivables are
with full recourse to you and at your credit risk, but are otherwise subject to the covenants, terms and conditions provided herein
with respect to Credit Approved Receivables. You agree to pay us promptly after demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses including reasonable and documented collection charges and reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees incurred by
us in attempting to collect or enforce any payment of CR Receivables, it being understood that we will not commence suit against
any Customer (other than in respect of a Purchased Receivable (at our own expense)) without your prior written approval. In addition,
if we, at your request, and in our discretion, file a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding with respect to a CR Receivable
and/or forward a CR Receivable to an attorney or agency for collection, we shall charge your account with (i) the fees and expenses
of such attorney or collection agency and (ii) a service charge equal to $100 plus 5% of any amount collected on the CR Receivable.

    	 	2	 

     

    

		4.	Returned Merchandise/Claims,
                                         Disputes and Chargebacks:

 

4.1. In the event
of a breach by you of any of the representations or warranties contained herein with respect to a Receivable, or the assertion,
with respect to a Receivable, of a Dispute, any such Receivable (whether or not a Credit Approved Receivable), shall thereupon
become a CR Receivable to the extent of the Dispute. You shall notify us immediately of any Dispute, including a Customer’s
return of or desire to return any Inventory purchased from you. We may, but are not obligated to, settle, compromise, adjust or
litigate any Dispute, including, a return of the related Inventory upon such terms as we deem advisable, provided that your agreement
and cooperation is required for any such settlement, compromise, adjustment or litigation other than as to a Purchased Receivable,
and we will not commence suit against any Customer (other than with respect to a Purchased Receivable (at our own expense)) without
your prior written consent. We will not initiate any form of legal action with respect to such a Receivable unless you have approved
in writing the third party engaged, and its respective processes to be used. We may, at our option, Charge Back to you all amounts
owing on CR Receivables which are not paid when due, and we shall also have the right to charge your account with us in the amount
of any payment which we receive with respect to a CR Receivable we previously paid to you, if we are subsequently required to disgorge
such payment for any reason, including, such payment being deemed a preferential transfer. A Charge Back shall not constitute a
resale or reassignment to you of the Receivable which is the subject thereof if prior to such Charge Back the Receivable had been
purchased by us pursuant to the terms hereof. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you agree to indemnify and save us harmless
from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, cost and expense of any kind, caused by or arising from any Disputes with
or similar or related claims of your Customers (or any representative thereof), asserting an interest in Receivables or payments
thereon, including: (i) any disputes or claims with respect to terms, price, quality or otherwise regarding Inventory with
respect to Receivables; (ii) any claim for a return of any payments made by or on behalf of any Customer with respect to Receivables,
to the extent such payments are either made directly to you or made to us and remitted to you (including alleged preferential transfers
with respect to any such payments on Receivables that were not Credit Approved Receivables at the time the payment was received);
(iii) any claims by any governmental authorities (federal, state, municipal or otherwise) for the turnover or payment to such
governmental authority of all or any portion of any payment received from a Customer which we paid to you and (iv) all reasonable
and documented collection expenses and attorney’s (whether in-house or outside) fees incurred with respect to any of the
foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement shall not require you to pay any legal fees we may incur
in connection with the defense of any claims asserted against us (including by a counterclaim) by an Obligor with respect to our
collection activities to the extent of any matters for which we have indemnified you under Section 4.2 below. Your liability under
this paragraph, and that of any Person liable for the Obligations, shall constitute Obligations but shall nonetheless be independent
hereof and continue notwithstanding any termination hereof.

 

4.2. We will indemnify,
defend and hold harmless you, your officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates and representatives and the respective
successors and assigns of the foregoing from and against all claims, damages, costs, losses or liabilities, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses (“Losses”), to the extent such Losses are resulting from or related to (i) a
breach by us of this Agreement, (ii) a failure by us to comply with any applicable laws, rules, regulations and/or licensing
requirements in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) any gross negligence or willful
misconduct of us or our employees or representatives in performing any obligation or duty under this Agreement, provided (x) we
shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless for any Losses arising as a result of any error in any information provided
by you to us concerning a Referred Account, and (y) our total liability to you under this Section 4.2 shall be limited to an aggregate
amount of the average annual commission actually paid by you to us pursuant to Section 6 below during the term of this agreement
prior to the time any such claim(s) shall be made by you under this Section.

 

		5.	Representations, Warranties
                                         and Covenants:

Agreement and you are not and will not be bound by any material agreement that would be violated by your or our performance of
this Agreement.

5.2. you are solvent.

5.3. the Receivables

Purchased Receivable, bona fide, existing and legally enforceable (although not necessarily collectible and subject to the effects
of bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws) obligations of Customers arising out of your sales made or services rendered
by you, and, at the time any Receivable becomes a Purchased Receivable, it shall additionally be free and clear of all security
interests, liens, claims and Disputes whatsoever other than Permitted Liens and in the event that any such Receivables arise from
the sale of goods, such goods meet all standards imposed by any governmental agency or authority.

5.4. at the time

to any security interest, lien or encumbrance whatsoever, other than Permitted Liens, and you covenant (i) that you shall not permit
the Inventory to become so encumbered without our prior written consent and (ii) that the Inventory meets all standards imposed
by any governmental agency or authority.

5.5. [reserved].

5.6. with respect
to each Receivable as it arises and when transmitted to us: (i) you will have delivered the Inventory or rendered the services
pursuant to the Order; (ii) the Customer will accept the Inventory and/or services without any offset or counterclaim; (iii) no
Dispute known to you will exist in any respect; (iv) you will have preserved, and will continue to preserve, any liens and any

5.7. you will within
ten Business Days of our request therefor, provide us with copies of invoices and shipping or delivery receipts or such equivalent
electronic documents as we may reasonably designate or other proof of sale and delivery or performance as we may from time to time
reasonably require.

without providing us with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof, change your name, your state of organization or

or the collectability or enforceability of the Receivables.

    	 	4	 

     

    

		6.	Commissions:

 

6.1. For our services
hereunder, we shall receive a commission (hereinafter referred to as the “Base Commission”) of (i) 0.20% of
the gross invoice amount of each Receivable; plus (ii) on those Receivables due from a Customer (or any Affiliates or subsidiaries
of such Customer) listed on the Special Accounts Schedule submitted herewith and/or from time to time hereafter, such percentage
of the gross invoice amount thereof as equals the surcharge (if applicable) set forth on the Special Accounts Schedule, to the
extent of the amount credit approved. All commissions shall be fully earned, due and payable and chargeable to your account with
us at the date a Receivable is referred to and accepted by us hereunder.

6.2. Our charge specified
in Section 6.1 hereof is based upon maximum selling terms of 60 days (excepting only that for sales to off-price retailers the
maximum selling terms will be 90 days and for mass merchants the maximum selling terms will be 120 days), and no more extended
terms or additional dating shall be granted by you to any Customer without our prior written approval. If such approval is given
by us, then for each additional thirty (30) days or part thereof of such extended terms or additional dating, our charge with respect
to the Receivables covered thereby shall be increased by an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the charge specified in
Section 6.1 hereof. In addition, we shall charge you a fee of $2.50 for each instance in which you change the terms of sale of
any Receivable after you have submitted to us a schedule listing such Receivable.

6.3. The minimum
aggregate Base Commission payable under this Agreement shall be $480,000.00 for each Contract Year, which shall be fully earned
by us at the beginning of each Contract Year, and which to the extent of any deficiency (after giving effect to the commissions
paid or payable under Section 6.1(i)), shall be chargeable to your account with us at the end of each Contract Year, provided,
that in the event of any termination of this Agreement in any Contract Year after the first Contract Year, the minimum aggregate
Base Commission payable in such year shall only be the higher of (i) 100% of the monthly average of all charges payable by you
to us under Section 6.1 of this Agreement for the twelve month period prior to the Effective Termination Date, multiplied by the
number of calendar months for the portion of the Contract Year elapsed prior to the Effective Termination Date (including any partial
month in which the Effective Termination Date falls if such date is on or after the 15th day of such month); and (ii) the monthly
average amount of the minimum aggregate Base Commission for the portion of such Contract Year elapsed prior to the Effective Termination
Date, multiplied by the number of calendar months for the portion of the Contract Year elapsed prior to the Effective Termination
Date (including any partial month in which the Effective Termination Date falls if such date is on or after the 15th day of such
month).

 

		7.	Purchase Price

 

7.1. The purchase
price for each Receivable that we purchase (the “Purchase Price”) pursuant to the terms hereof shall be the
invoice amount of the Receivable, less (i) returns (whenever made); (ii) selling discounts, credits or deductions of
any kind allowed, granted to or taken by the Customer at any time; and (iii) our commission provided for in Section 6 hereof.
No discount, credit or allowance with respect to any Purchased Receivable shall be granted by you, and no return of any Inventory
related thereto shall be accepted by you without our prior written consent. A discount, credit or allowance may be claimed only
by the Customer. All amounts deemed collected by us on Purchased Receivables pursuant to Section 7.2 below shall be paid by
us to the Collection Account on the Purchase Date.

7.2. Where the
cause of non-payment of a Credit Approved Receivable which has become more than 120 days past due is solely the
Customer’s Financial Inability to Pay, then upon your submitting a confirmatory sale and assignment of the Receivable
that is reasonably satisfactory to us, including a representation by you (with such supporting documents as we may reasonably
request) that the warranties made by you under Sections 5.3 and 5.4 hereof are true and correct, the Receivable, to the
extent of the then effective Credit Approval in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be purchased by us
immediately thereafter and shall be deemed collected if it is not otherwise subject to Charge back to you under and in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement (such date, the “Purchase Date”). We shall deposit the
Purchase Price into the Collection Account in immediately available funds on the related Purchase Date. In the event you may
subsequently be required to disgorge any payment of a Purchase Price for a Purchased Receivable from us for any reason,
including, such payment being deemed a preferential transfer, then such Receivable shall thereafter no longer be a Purchased
Receivable unless and until such amount is returned or repaid to you by us or our representatives in full.

    	 	5	 

     

    

		8.	Statement of Account and
                                         Expenses:

 

8.1. All Obligations
shall become immediately due and payable upon demand upon the occurrence of the earlier of: (i) any Default hereunder; and
(ii) the Effective Termination Date. You hereby irrevocably authorize us to collect commissions owed by you from time to time
under this Agreement, at our option, either out of the proceeds of collections of Referred Accounts or by debiting the Collection
Account in such amount. You agree to execute and deliver such documentation (including, if applicable, ACH debit authorization
documentation) as we may reasonably request from time to time to facilitate any such debit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, and without limiting your obligations or liability to us under this Agreement, we shall not debit the Collection Account
for any reason other than to collect commissions owed by you from time to time under this Agreement as and when the related Referred
Accounts are paid (and excluding, for avoidance of doubt, any deficiency in the minimum aggregate Base Commission for any Contract
Year). Any other Obligations owing by you to us shall be payable by you in accordance with the terms hereof.

8.2. We will render
a statement of account (on both an individual company and consolidated basis) monthly to you, and such statement shall be binding
upon you, except for demonstrable error and specific matters which you contest and of which we are notified in writing, within
thirty (30) days after the date of receipt by you of such statement.

8.3. You shall pay
all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees) incurred by us
in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement. You shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the filing
of financing statements under the UCC with respect to Purchased Receivables. We may also charge to your account (with your prior
written consent) any reasonable and documented fees, costs or other expenses we incur to eliminate or cure any lack of capacity
that we may now or hereafter have to maintain an action in the courts of any state to enforce payment or Receivables due from Customers
located in such state by reason of your acts or omissions, including your failure to qualify as a foreign entity in such state
or any other failure on your part to observe the laws of such state that are applicable to you or your assets. You shall also pay
to us such reasonable and documented fees as we may incur in performing our duties hereunder and charge from time to time for,
among other things, wire transfers. In connection with our examinations of your books, records and operations to the extent permitted
by this Agreement you shall pay all of our reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses plus for each examiner the Standard
Examiner’s Rate in effect at the time of any such examination. In connection with our administration of this Agreement, settlement
of any Dispute, or enforcement of any Obligation, or our protecting, preserving and enforcing our security interests and rights
hereunder, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising
out of or relating to our transactions with you, including actions or proceedings that may involve any Person asserting a priority
or claim with respect to Purchased Receivables, all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred, including, reasonable
and documented attorneys’ fees incurred by us, shall be borne and paid for by you, and may, at our option, be charged to
your account with us (i.e., by our making a debit entry therefor in our client accounting system, currently known as RAPID). Your
reimbursement obligations pursuant to this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

8.4. No delay
or failure on our part in exercising any right, privilege, or option hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such or of any
other right, privilege, or option, and no waiver, amendment, or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be
valid, unless in a writing signed by us and you and then only to the extent therein stated. Should any provision of this
Agreement be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected
thereby. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any notices, requests, demands or other communications
permitted or required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by electronic mail, hand
delivery or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, to the addresses and electronic mail addresses of the
parties set forth below (or to such other address or electronic mail address as a party may hereafter designate by a notice
to the other that complies with this section) and shall be deemed given (a) in the case of a notice sent by electronic mail,
when received by the recipient; and (b) in the case of a notice that is hand delivered or sent by such overnight courier,
when delivered (provided that the sending party retains a confirmation of delivery). Any notice which, pursuant to the terms
hereof must be sent by certified or registered mail shall be deemed given and effective when received.

8.5. The headings

affect the meaning of any portion hereof.

 

		9.	Title, Collection and Payments:

 

9.1. We will
promptly report to you the details of any remittances of Receivables (other than any Purchased Receivables) obtained directly
by us. Until we have purchased a Purchased Receivable from you and paid you for it, you shall have and own all, right, title
and interest in and to such Receivable and its Proceeds, we may not use such amounts for any other purpose and the
Receivables shall be in your name. You will (and we shall cooperate with you in connection therewith) direct Customers to
make payments to an account in your name at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. that you designate in writing (the “Collection
Account”), which may be subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement in favor of the Credit Agreement Agent. If,
notwithstanding such direction, (i) we receive any Customer payments on account of any Referred Accounts or Receivables
(other than any Purchased Receivables), we shall remit such payments promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days
of receipt, to the Collection Account; provided, however, that nothing herein authorizes us to collect any such Receivables
(other than any Purchased Receivables), and (ii) you receive any Customer payments on account of any Referred Accounts
or Receivables, you shall also promptly report to us the details thereof and remit such payments promptly, and in any event
within two (2) Business Days of receipt, to us in respect of any Purchased Receivables and to the Collection Account in
respect of any other Receivables; provided, however, that except in connection with the exercise of the Redirection Right,
nothing herein authorizes you to collect any such Receivables other than in the Collection Account. We acknowledge and agree
we have no right, title or interest in the same, unless and until such Receivables are Purchased Receivables. You shall
promptly notify us (and obtain our prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of any
changes in the location of the Collection Account. It is understood
and agreed that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, we shall not be in violation of the foregoing to the extent
of any payments received by us from Customers failing to act in accordance with the payment direction contemplated above that
have not yet been reconciled by us to Referred Accounts due to insufficient information or documentation from the payor
thereof, unless and until such amounts have been clearly identified as being in payment of any Referred Accounts in
accordance with our ordinary and customary procedures. You shall provide us with the bank location of the Collection
Account and, cooperate with us in causing such bank to provide to us all account records, statements and deposit receipts as
we may reasonably require therefrom consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly (and in any event within two (2)
business days) after identification thereof, you shall remit to us any Customer payments made to the Collection Account, or
otherwise received by you, that constitute proceeds of any Purchased Receivables (to the extent we have paid you the Purchase
Price therefor). All remittances obtained by you against Purchased Receivables will be received in trust for us. To the
extent we may hold at any time any remittances obtained by us as to Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables) and not
yet transferred them to your account, we acknowledge they are held in trust for you and we will keep such amounts separately
identified and not commingle them with any other amounts. You constitute us, or any other entity or person (but in no event a
direct competitor of your business or other third parties identified by you to us prior to the date hereof) whom we may
designate in our sole discretion, reasonably exercised, as your attorney in fact at your own cost and expense to exercise, at
any time, all or any of the following powers which, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement
has been terminated and you have fully and indefeasibly paid and discharged all Obligations in accordance with this Agreement
(a) to sign and/or endorse your name on all remittances and all papers, bills of lading, receipts, instruments and documents
relating to the Receivables and the transactions between us; (b) to deposit any checks or other remittances received relating
to the Receivables regardless of notations or conditions placed thereon by your customers or deductions reflected thereby and
to charge the amount of any such deductions to your account; and (c) to sign your name to any and all documents necessary to

and us and/or our representatives in any action, proceeding or claim for damages. If any provision of this Agreement shall for
any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof,

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

 

This Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (the “Agreement”)
is entered into as of ___________, 20__ (hereinafter the “Effective Date”) by and between Rosenthal & Rosenthal,
Inc. a New York State corporation with its principal place of business at 1370 Broadway, New York, NY 10018 (“Rosenthal”)
and _____________, a _____________, having its principal place of business at _________________ (“Recipient”). The
Agreement shall govern the disclosure and furnishing by Rosenthal to Recipient of certain confidential and proprietary information
relating to the finances of Rosenthal which Recipient has requested from Rosenthal in connection with Rosenthal’s factoring
relationship with Steven Madden, Ltd. and certain of its affiliates (the “Madden Companies”) (hereinafter “Confidential
lnformation”), as well as the use and return of such information by Recipient.

 

Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information
is either owned by Rosenthal or an affiliate Recipient of Rosenthal. The Confidential Information will be used by Recipient only
for the purpose of reviewing and determining if it wishes to to exercise the “Redirection Right” as defined in that
certain Amended and Restated Deferred Purchase Factoring Agreement between Rosenthal and the Madden Companies (the “Factoring
Agreement”) (hereinafter the “Purpose”). Confidential Information shall also include any information subsequently
supplied by Rosenthal that refers or relates to the Purpose. Recipient agrees to receive the Confidential Information subject to
the following terms and conditions:

 

1.                 
Recipient promises and agrees to hold the Confidential Information in confidence. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Recipient further promises and agrees that it will require its employees: (i) to protect and safeguard the Confidential
Information against unauthorized use, publication or disclosure; (ii) not to use any of the Confidential Information except for
the Purpose; (iii) not to make any copies of the Confidential Information except to the extent needed for the Purpose; (iv) not
to, directly or indirectly, in any way, reveal, report, publish, disclose, transfer or otherwise use any of the Confidential Information
except as specifically authorized by Rosenthal in this Agreement; (v) not to use any Confidential Information to compete or obtain
advantage vis-à-vis Rosenthal; (vi) to restrict access to the Confidential Information to those of its officers,
directors, and employees who clearly need such access to carry out the Purpose; (vii) to advise each of the persons to whom it
provides access to any of the Confidential Information, that such persons are strictly prohibited from making any use, publishing
or otherwise disclosing to others, or permitting others to use for their benefit or to the detriment of Rosenthal, any of the Confidential
Information; (viii) to take all steps reasonably necessary to protect the secrecy of the Confidential Information, and to prevent
the Confidential Information from falling into the public domain or into the possession of unauthorized persons; and (ix) to comply
with any other reasonable security measures requested in writing by Rosenthal.

 

2.                 
Recipient agrees that all Confidential Information shall remain the property of Rosenthal, and that Rosenthal may use the
Confidential Information for any purpose without obligation to Recipient. All inventions, improvements, copyrightable works and
designs relating to machines, methods, compositions, or products of Rosenthal directly resulting from or relating to the Confidential
Information and the right to market, use, license and franchise the Confidential Information or the ideas, concepts, methods or
practices embodied therein shall be the exclusive property of Rosenthal, and Recipient has no right or title thereto. Nothing contained
herein shall be construed as granting either express or implied transfer of rights to Company in the Confidential Information.
Nothing herein shall prohibit Rosenthal from disclosing the Confidential Information to others or from granting a license or other
rights therein to others.

 

3.                 
Recipient represents warrants and covenants that it has, or shall enter into, with each of its employees who may have access
to any Confidential Information, an appropriate agreement, which may include an employment agreement, sufficient to enable it to
comply with all of the terms of this Agreement, prior to exposing such employee to the Confidential Information.

    	 	 	 

     

    

 

4.                 
Upon termination of the Deferred Purchase Agreement, or upon the exercise of the Redirection Right, whichever is earlier,
Recipient shall return to Rosenthal all of the Confidential Information, and all copies thereof, in the possession or control of
Recipient, in whatever media or format. Rosenthal may in its sole discretion instruct Recipient in writing to destroy some or all
of the Confidential Information in lieu of returning it.

 

5.                 
Should Recipient or any of its representatives be requested, pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or
legal process to disclose any of the Confidential Information or any other information concerning Rosenthal, Recipient will notify
Rosenthal promptly so that Rosenthal may (i) seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or (ii) consult with Recipient
with respect to Recipient taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process. In the event that no such
protective order or other remedy is obtained, Recipient and its representatives shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential
Information which it is advised by counsel in a written opinion is legally required and will exercise best efforts to obtain reliable
assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so furnished.

 

6.                 
The obligations of this Agreement shall be continuing and binding upon Recipient until the Confidential Information ceases
to be confidential other than as a breach of this Agreement by Recipient, whichever is first to occur, except that protection of
trade secrets shall extend to such time as the relevant information qualifies as a trade secret under the applicable law. Absent
the written consent of Rosenthal, the burden of proving that the Confidential Information is no longer confidential shall be on
Recipient.

 

7.                 
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement
may not be amended, changed, modified, supplemented, or waived except by later written agreement signed by both parties. This Agreement
shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by (a) Rosenthal, its successors, and assigns; and (b) Recipient,
its successors and assigns.

 

8.                 
Neither this Agreement, not any right, obligation, or interest in or under this Agreement, nor any claim arising under or
in connection with or relating to this Agreement, may be assigned by any party without the other party's prior written consent,
and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no effect, except that either party may assign this Agreement
to any entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such assigning party without
such consent.

 

9.                 
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to
its conflicts of law principles and both parties agree to submit any disputes in connection with this Agreement to the jurisdiction
of the courts of the State of New York or the Federal District Courts sitting in New York, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction
for such purposes.

 

10.             
Notwithstanding the above provision, Recipient understands and acknowledges that any disclosure or misappropriation of any
of the Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement may cause Rosenthal irreparable harm, the amount of which may be
difficult to ascertain and, therefore, agrees that Rosenthal shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction
for an order restraining any such further disclosure or misappropriation and for such other relief as Rosenthal shall deem appropriate.
Such right of Rosenthal shall be in addition to remedies otherwise available to Rosenthal at law or in equity.

 

11.             
In the event any one or more of the provisions herein is, for any reason, held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement, which will continue in full force and effect without said provision(s), unless
doing so shall materially alter the bargain between the parties.

 

    	 	 	 

     

    

12.             
This Agreement does not constitute a commitment of Rosenthal to consummate the Transaction.

 

The parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly
authorized representatives as of the Effective Date:
