PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION

2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT 

NOTICE OF PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the “Company”) grants to the Grantee named below, in accordance with the terms of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and performance share award agreement (this “Agreement”), the number of performance shares (the “Performance Shares”) provided as follows:

	GRANTEE

	 
	TARGET NO. OF PERFORMANCE SHARES

	 
	PERFORMANCE PERIOD

	 
	DATE OF GRANT

	 
	SETTLEMENT SCHEDULE

	Performance Shares will be settled within two and one-half months of the last day of the Performance Period, subject to achievement and certification of performance goals described in this Agreement and the Grantee being employed by the Company through such date, except as otherwise provided herein.

AGREEMENT

1.

Grant of Award.  The Company hereby grants to the Grantee the Performance Shares, settlement of which is dependent upon the achievement of certain performance goals more fully described in Section 2(d) of this Agreement.  This Award is subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.  All terms, provisions, and conditions applicable to the Performance Shares set forth in the Plan and not set forth herein are incorporated by reference.  To the extent any provision hereof is inconsistent with a provision of the Plan, the provision of the Plan will govern.  All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. 

2.

Settlement of Award.

a.

Right to Award.  The Performance Shares awarded pursuant to this Agreement represent the opportunity to receive Shares of the Company if performance goals outlined in Section 2(d) of this Agreement are satisfied.  

 

b.

Settlement of Award.  Settlement shall occur on a date chosen by the Committee, which date shall be no later than the 15th day of the third month of the calendar year following the last day of the Performance Period.  Settlement is contingent upon the Grantee remaining in the employment or service of the Company or its Subsidiaries through the settlement date, except as otherwise provided in Section 3. 

The Company may require the Grantee to furnish or execute such documents as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary (i) to evidence such settlement and (ii) to comply with or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other Applicable Law.

c.

Method of Settlement.  The Company shall deliver to the Grantee one Share for each Performance Share earned, less any Shares withheld in accordance with Section 2(d) of this Agreement.  Share certificates shall be issued in the name of the Grantee (or of the person or persons to whom such Award was transferred in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement).  

Effective 4/30/08

    

Determination of the Number of Performance Shares Earned.  The number of Performance Shares earned, if any, is based on a combination of earnings per share and return on equity at the end of the Performance Period, determined in accordance with the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

d.

Taxes.  Pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan, the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements applicable to this Award.  The Company may condition the delivery of Shares upon the Grantee’s satisfaction of such withholding obligations. To the extent permitted by the Committee, the Grantee may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirement by tendering previously-owned Shares or by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding rate that could be imposed on the transaction (or such other rate that will not result in a negative accounting impact).  Such election shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Grantee, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

3.

Termination of Employment.

 

a.

If the Grantee’s employment terminates during a Performance Period by reason of his or her death, his or her estate shall receive the Performance Shares that would otherwise have been delivered to the Grantee for the Performance Period if the plan target level were achieved, prorated to the portion of the Performance Period actually worked by the Grantee. 

b.

If the Grantee’s employment terminates during a Performance Period by reason of his or her disability, the Grantee shall receive the Performance Shares, if any, that would otherwise have been delivered to the Grantee for the Performance Period, prorated to the portion of the Performance Period actually worked by the Grantee.

c.

If the Grantee’s employment terminates during a Performance Period by reason of his or her Retirement, the Grantee shall receive the Performance Shares, if any, which would otherwise have been payable to the Grantee for the Performance Period, prorated to the portion of the Performance Period actually worked by the Grantee; provided, however, that if a Grantee retires prior to 12 months following the commencement of a Performance Period, no Performance Shares shall be delivered. 

d.

If the Grantee’s employment terminates during a Performance Period by reason of his or her discharge without Cause or for any reason which would constitute grounds for the Grantee to voluntarily terminate his or her employment for “good reason” under the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any, with the Company or a Subsidiary, the Grantee shall receive the Performance Shares, if any, which would otherwise have been payable to the Grantee for the Performance Period, prorated to the portion of the Performance Period actually worked by the Grantee; provided, however, that if a Grantee terminates employment by reason of his or her discharge without Cause or for “good reason” prior to 12 months following the commencement of a Performance Period, no Performance Shares shall be delivered. 

e.

If the Grantee’s employment terminates after the end of a Performance Period but prior to the date of settlement of the Performance Shares due to his or her death, disability, Retirement or discharge without Cause or voluntary termination for “good reason”, the Grantee shall receive the Performance Shares, if any, which would otherwise have been delivered to the Grantee for the Performance Period. 

f.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there shall be a Change in Control during a Performance Period, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive Performance Shares equal to the Performance Shares payable to the Grantee if the plan target level for the Performance Period had been achieved prorated to the portion of the Performance Period actually worked by the Grantee through the date of the Change in Control.

4.

Transferability of Award.

  

The Award may not be transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise disposed of, except (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) for no consideration, subject to such rules and conditions as may be established by the Committee, to a member or members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, the Grantee’s “Immediate Family” means the Grantee’s children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, spouse, former spouse, siblings, nieces, nephews, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships or any person sharing the Grantee’s household (other than a tenant or employee). 

5.

Miscellaneous Provisions.  

a.

Rights as a Stockholder.  Neither the Grantee nor the Grantee’s representative shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to this Award until the Award has been settled and Share certificates, if any, have been issued to the Grantee, transferee or representative, as the case may be.  

b.

Regulatory Compliance and Listing.  The issuance or delivery of any certificates representing Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement may be postponed by the Committee for such period as may be required to comply with any applicable requirements under the federal or state securities laws, any applicable listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, and any applicable requirements under any other Applicable Law, and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any such Shares to the Grantee if either delivery thereof would constitute a violation of any provision of any law or of any regulation of any governmental authority or the New York Stock Exchange, or the Grantee shall not yet have complied fully with the provisions of Paragraph 2(e) hereof.  The Company shall not be liable to the Grantee for any damages relating to any delays in issuing the certificates to the Grantee, any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or the certificates themselves.

c.

Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  

d.

Modification or Amendment.  This Agreement may only be modified or amended by written agreement executed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that the adjustments permitted pursuant to Section 16 and Section 18(b) of the Plan may be made without such written agreement. 

e.

Severability.  In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

f.

References to Plan.  All references to the Plan shall be deemed references to the Plan as may be amended.

Headings.  The captions used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of this Award for construction or interpretation.

h.

Interpretation.  Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Grantee or by the Company forthwith to the Board or the Committee, which shall review such dispute at its next regular meeting.  The resolution of such dispute by the Board or the Committee shall be final and binding on all persons.  

i.

Section 409A of the Code.  The provisions of this Agreement and any payments made herein are intended to comply with, and should be interpreted consistent with, the requirements of Section 

3

    

409A of the Code, and any related regulations or other effective guidance promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. 

j.

      WARRANT
TO PURCHASE COMMON SHARES

      U.S.
ENERGY CORP.

      

      This is
to certify that, for value received, Gordon Financial Advisors, LLC (the
“Holder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the terms set forth below, from
U.S. Energy Corp., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company” or “we”), 40,000 shares of the common
stock (the “Common Shares”), of the Company at a purchase price per share of
$2.81, (the purchase
price of a Common Share is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Exercise
Price.”) at any time until 5:00 P.M., Mountain Time, three (3) years from the
date(s) of Vesting (the “Expiration Date,” subject to earlier termination as
provided in paragraph (a))  Such Warrants shall vest and be
exercisable as follows:

      

      10,000
warrants vesting on August 31, 2008 and expiring on August 30, 2011

      10,000
warrants vesting on November 30, 2008 and expiring on November 29,
2011

      10,000
warrants vesting on February 28, 2009 and expiring on February 27,
2012

      10,000
warrants vesting on May 20, 2009 and expiring on May 19, 2012

      

      The
Common Shares are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Warrant Shares” and
include all Common Shares that have been issued upon the exercise of the
Warrants and all unissued Common Shares underlying the Warrants.

      

      (a)                 Exercise
of Warrant.  This Warrant may
be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time until the
Expiration Date(s) or if the Expiration Date is a day on which banking
institutions are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day
which shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender hereof to the
Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Purchase
Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by cash payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in such Form, together with
all federal and state taxes applicable upon such exercise; provided however, that if the
closing stock market price for the Company’s Common Stock exceeds a gain of 150%
over the exercise price (for example $2.81 + 150% gain = $7.03) for a period of
twenty (20) consecutive trading days after the date of vesting of such warrants,
the Holder must exercise such warrants within thirty (30) days of such date or
such warrants will terminate.  If that day is a Saturday or a day when
banks are closed or authorized to be closed, then the next business day after
such 20th trading day.  The Company shall be under no obligation to
inform the Holder of the Company’s stock market price at any time.

      

      The
Company agrees not to merge, reorganize or take any action that would terminate
this Warrant unless provisions are made as part of such merger, reorganization
or other action which would provide the Holder with an equivalent of this
Warrant as specified in Section (i) hereof; provided, however, that if
reasonably required by the other party or parties to such merger, reorganization
or other action, the Company may accelerate the Expiration Date to a date prior
to such merger, reorganization or other action, provided further, however, that
the Company shall give the Holder written notice of such acceleration at least
30 days prior to such accelerated Expiration Date.  The Company agrees
to provide notice to the Holder that any tender offer is being made for the
Company’s Common Shares no later than three business days after the day the
Company becomes aware that any tender offer is being made for outstanding Common
Shares of the Company.  If this Warrant should be exercised in part
only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation,
execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase
the balance of the Common Shares purchasable hereunder.  Upon receipt
by the Company of this Warrant at the office of the Company or at the office of
the Company’s stock transfer agent, in proper form for exercise and accompanied
by the Exercise Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of
the Common Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such Common Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the
Holder.

       

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      
 

      (b)                 Reservation
of Shares.  The Company
hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and/or
delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of Common Shares as shall be
required for issuance or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant.

      

      (c)                 Fractional
Shares.  No fractional
shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant.

      

      (d)                 Exchange,
Assignment or Loss of Warrant.  This Warrant is
exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation
and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer
agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the
Holder thereof to purchase (under the same terms and conditions as provided by
this Warrant) in the aggregate the same number of Common Shares purchasable
hereunder.  This Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or
hypothecated except in compliance with the Securities Act of
1933.  Any such transfer or assignment shall be made by surrender of
this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if
any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and with funds
sufficient to pay any transfer tax; whereupon the Company shall, without charge,
execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such
instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled.  This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants
which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the
Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are
to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.  The term “Warrant” as
used herein includes any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of
this Warrant, or into which this Warrant may be divided or
exchanged.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case
of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and
upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.  Subject to
such right of indemnification, any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall
constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company,
whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone.

      

      (e)                 Rights of
the Holder.  The Holder shall
not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the
Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to
those expressed in the Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company
except to the extent set forth herein.

      

      (f)                 Notices
to Holders.  So long as this
Warrant shall be outstanding and unexercised (i) if the Company shall pay any
dividend or make/any distribution upon the Common Shares or (ii) if the Company
shall offer to the holders of Common Shares for subscription or purchase by them
any shares of stock of any class or any other rights or (iii) if any capital
reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the
Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the property
and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then,
in any such case, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder, at
least 10 days prior to the date specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case may
be, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating
the date on which (x) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or rights, or (y) such reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up
is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of
Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.

       

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      
 

      (g)                 Reclassification,
Reorganization or Merger.  In case of any
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding Common
Shares of the Company (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no
par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of an issuance of
Common Shares by way of dividend or other distribution or of a subdivision or
combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger
the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding Common
Shares of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any
sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company shall cause effective
provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by
exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities and property which the Holder would have received upon such
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised prior to the consummation of
such transaction.  Any such provision shall include provision for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Warrant.  The foregoing provisions of
this Section (k) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital
reorganizations and changes of Common Shares and to successive consolidations,
mergers, sales or conveyances.  In the event the Company spins off a
subsidiary by distributing to the shareholders of the Company as a dividend or
otherwise the stock of the subsidiary, the Company shall reserve for the life of
this Warrant, shares of the subsidiary to be delivered to the holders of the
Warrants upon exercise to the same extent as if they were owners of record of
the Warrant Share on the record date for payment of the shares of the
subsidiary.

      

      (h)                 Registration
Under the Securities Act of 1933.  The Company
agrees to use its best efforts to include such Shares to be received upon
exercise of this Warrant in its next regular SEC registration
statement.  The Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement
and use its best commercially reasonable efforts to have the SEC declare the
registration statement effective by August 31, 2008, all at the sole expense of
the Company.

      

      (i)                 Notices.  All
notices required to be given to any of the parties hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for all purposes when
presented personally to such party or sent by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, to such party at its address set forth
