3.      ENTRY FEE; FLAT FEE; ROYALTIES; PAYMENT; ACCOUNTING; AUDIT

          3.1           Entry Fee: Licensee shall pay Licensor a non-refundable entry fee of seven hundred and fifty thousand US dollars (US$750,000) upon execution of this Agreement by Licensee, or otherwise as the parties mutually agree. For the avoidance of doubt, this fee shall not act as a deposit or advance against any Running Royalty (as defined in Section 3.3 below), and shall not be credited against any other fee or amount due Licensor from Licensee set forth herein.

          3.2           Flat Fee: For the calendar month of June, 2011, Licensee shall pay Licensor a non-refundable flat fee of forty-five thousand US dollars (US$45,000). Thereafter, on a calendar monthly basis, commencing on July 1, 2011 until May 31, 2012, Licensee shall pay Licensor a non-fundable flat fee of thirty thousand US dollars (US$30,000). Each such flat fee shall be payable to Licensor within thirty (30) days from the end of the relevant month, on a month-by-month basis, or otherwise as the parties mutually agree. For the avoidance of doubt, these monthly flat fees shall not act as a deposit or advance against any Running Royalty, and shall not be credited against any other fee or amount due Licensor from Licensee set forth herein.

          3.3           Running Royalty: Commencing on June 1, 2012, until the expiration of the term, Licensee shall pay Licensor a Running Royalty at the rate of six percent (6%) of Net Sales of all Licensed Products sold at any time from the beginning of each Contract Year through the last day of such Contract Year during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Running Royalty attributed to the first Contract Year shall be calculated from Net Sales of all Licensed Products sold from June 1, 2012 to the last day of the first Contract Year (i.e. December 31, 2012) only. The Running Royalty shall be calculated in respect of each Contract Year and paid ninety (90) days after the end of the relevant Contract Year; provided that, the total amount of Annual Minimum Royalties actually paid in respect of such Contract Year in accordance with Section 3.5 below, shall be deducted from the total Running Royalty due in respect of such Contract Year; provided further that, if the total amount of Annual Minimum Royalties paid for the relevant Contract Year is greater than the amount of Running Royalty due in respect of such Contract Year, Licensor shall have no obligation to return any such excess to the Licensee. Licensed Products shall be considered “sold” for the purpose of calculating the Running Royalty upon the earlier of (i) shipment or (ii) invoicing of the Licensed Products by Licensee. No costs incurred in connection with the manufacture, promotion, sale or distribution of the Licensed Products, reserves for returns or otherwise, or withholding or other taxes of any nature paid or payable by Licensee, shall be deducted from Net Sales in calculating the Running Royalty payable hereunder, save only the following authorized deductions: (x) uncollectible accounts and customary trade discounts and markdown allowances actually taken and reflected on the face of the invoice (excluding discounts for prompt or accelerated payments such as anticipation discounts whether or not shown on the face of the invoice), and (y) amounts for returns or credits actually taken or granted.

          3.4           Annual Minimum Royalties:

                         3.4.1      Generally: Licensee shall pay Licensor minimum royalty amounts (the “Annual Minimum Royalties”) at amounts to be negotiated between the parties in good faith not later May 1, 2012.

                         3.4.2      Payment: The full amount of Licensee’s Annual Minimum Royalty payment shall be due and payable ninety (90) days after the end of the relevant Contract Year, regardless of the amount of Net Sales by Licensee during that relevant Contract Year. The above Annual Minimum Royalties shall apply separately to each Contract Year, and any excess of Running Royalty over Annual Minimum Royalties for any given Contract Year shall not be applied as a credit against any royalties (whether Annual Minimum Royalties or Running Royalty) accruing in any subsequent Contract Year.

3

          3.5           Taxes: All royalties payable by Licensee hereunder shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim, free of any deductions or withholdings. In the event that Licensee is prohibited by applicable law from making payments hereunder free of deductions or withholdings, Licensee shall pay such additional amounts to Licensor as may be necessary in order that the actual amount received after deduction or withholding (and after deduction or withholding, or payment, of any additional taxes or other charges due as a consequence of the payment of such additional amount) shall be equal to the amount that Licensor would have received if such deduction or withholding were not required; provided that, if required by applicable law, Licensee shall withhold the amount of any taxes levied by the tax authorities of any jurisdiction on payments made by Licensee to Licensor and which are by law payable by Licensor, shall promptly effect payment thereof to the appropriate tax authorities, and shall transmit to Licensor official tax receipts or other evidence issued by the appropriate tax authorities sufficient to enable Licensor to support a claim for the United States income tax credit in respect of any such taxes so paid.

          3.6           Copies of Invoices: Licensee shall provide Licensor with copies of all invoices issued for Licensed Products (whether by Licensee, directly, or by any Sublicensee) at such time as Licensee provides Licensor with the Yearly Statement.

          3.7           Yearly Statements: Licensee shall deliver to Licensor, ninety (90) days after the end of the relevant Contract Year (whether or not any payment of Running Royalty is due on such date) a certified royalty statement in the form reasonably acceptable to Licensor, showing gross sales, adjustments to gross sales and Net Sales by Licensee during such Contract Year, together with any supporting documentation or schedules reasonably requested by Licensor. Each such statement shall be accompanied by an unqualified “CFO Statement” from Licensee’s chief financial officer in the form and with supporting schedules and other materials as reasonably requested by Licensor from time to time. The receipt or acceptance by Licensor of any royalty statement or of any royalties paid hereunder (including the cashing of any royalty check) shall not preclude Licensor from questioning the correctness thereof at any time thereafter for up to twenty-four (24) months from the time of Licensor’s receipt of a given royalty statement, on a statement-by-statement basis, and in the event any inconsistencies or mistakes are subsequently discovered in such statements or payments during that period, they shall immediately be rectified by Licensee and the appropriate payments made by Licensee upon demand.

          3.8           Accounting Records: Licensee shall keep accurate books of account and records covering all transactions relating to the license hereby granted (including, without limitation, with respect to any transactions entered into by any sublicensee of Licensee), separate from its books of account and records covering any unrelated transactions. Said records shall include but not be limited to sales journals, cash receipts books, assignments sheets tendered to any factor, and any monthly factor statements. Licensor, its representatives and agents, shall have the right at any time during ordinary business hours to examine and photocopy such books of account and records, and all other documents and data in the possession or under the control of Licensee reasonably necessary, in the opinion of Licensor, to verify compliance by Licensee with the terms of this Agreement. All such books of account and records shall at all times be maintained at the registered office of Licensee, and shall be kept available to Licensor as herein provided for at least three (3) years after any termination hereof. Licensor shall give Licensee at least fourteen (14) calendar days’ advanced written notice before conducting any audit of Licensee’s books of account and records.

4

          3.9           Inventory Records and Audit: Licensee shall assign the Licensed Products style numbers distinct from any other products Licensee may manufacture or sell. The style number assigned to a specific Licensed Product shall be identical to the style number identifying that Licensed Product in all books and records of Licensee. All sales of Licensed Products shall be made on sequentially numbered invoices which shall contain sales related only to the Licensed Products. Licensor, its representatives and agents, shall be entitled to take physical inventory of the Licensed Products and other products of Licensee and to inspect all or any part of any Licensed Facility at any time during ordinary business hours. Licensor shall give Licensee at least fourteen (14) calendar days’ advanced written notice before conducting any audit of Licensee’s books of account and records. In the event that any audit or physical inventory reveals an underpayment of royalties, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the amount of any such underpayment; provided that, if any audit or physical inventory reflects an underpayment of Running Royalty for any Contract Year greater than five percent (5%), Licensee shall reimburse to Licensor all actual and verifiable legal, accounting and other expenses of such audit or inventory upon demand.

          3.10           Delinquent Payments: Any royalties or other amounts not paid by Licensee when due under this Agreement shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) four percent (4%) over the prime rate (reference rate) announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A., or (ii) the maximum interest rate permitted by law. With respect to any deficiency in the payment of royalties, interest thereon shall accrue from the date such royalties should have been paid, not the date such deficiency is discovered.

4.      QUALITY CONTROL

          4.1           Representations and Warranties Regarding Quality: Licensee acknowledges that if the Licensed Products designed, manufactured and sold by it are inferior in quality, design, material, or workmanship, as compared to other Licensor products associated with the Licensed Mark, the substantial goodwill and favorable public recognition which Licensor has built up and now possesses in the Licensed Mark, and the value of the Granted Rights, will be impaired. Accordingly, Licensee hereby represents, warrants and covenants that the Licensed Products shall be of a high standard of quality and of such style, appearance and quality as to be suited for exploitation of the Granted Rights to their best advantage. Licensee, any Sublicensee, and any subcontractor of either thereof, shall adhere to the standards of vendor engagement held by Licensor and provided to Licensee prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, as the same may be amended by Licensor and provided to Licensee in writing from time to time.

          4.2           Approval of Samples: Licensee, or any party acting under its authority, shall, prior to commencing production of a new Licensed Product or any substantial modification of an existing Licensed Product, furnish to Licensor for examination and approval, at Licensee's expense, a reasonable number of representative samples thereof (not less than three), together with associated tags, labels, packaging, specifications, sizes and colors, and shall not manufacture, promote, advertise, distribute or sell any Licensed Product without the prior written approval of Licensor. Any Licensed Product not disapproved by the Licensor, within fourteen (14) days after receipt by the Licensor of the samples designated by it, shall be deemed approved, if the delivery of such samples was memorialized by means of a written receipt. Licensee shall not manufacture, advertise, distribute or sell any goods or merchandise which depart from the approved form of any such sample in any material respect without Licensor's prior written consent. Upon request from time to time, Licensee shall furnish to Licensor without charge a reasonable number of additional production samples of any Licensed Product to facilitate Licensor's verification of the conformity of such Licensed Product to the approved form thereof.

5

          4.3           Inspections: Licensor, its representatives and agents, shall have the right at any time during ordinary business hours to inspect any and all Licensed Facilities. Licensor shall give Licensee at least fourteen (14) calendar days’ advanced written notice before conducting any audit of Licensee’s books of account and records. Licensee shall promptly provide Licensor with the name, address, telephone and fax numbers, names of managers and operators, any symbol or number it or any Licensed Facility may use or may be required to use to identify itself as a source of goods, and notice of any change thereof. Licensor, its representatives and agents, shall have the right to inspect and test any of the Licensed Products and to take any other action which, in the opinion of Licensor, is necessary or useful to assure that the Licensed Products are made, distributed and displayed in accordance with this Agreement. Licensee, or its Sublicensees, shall be able to sub-contract without the prior written approval of Licensor provided sub-contractor has signed a subcontractor agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Licensor, as the same may be amended by Licensor from time to time. In the event that the Licensed Products, related fabrics, or accessories, are manufactured by any person other than Licensee, Licensee shall require such person contractually to observe and perform all relevant terms of this Agreement, shall not allow such person to further sub-contract, and shall at all times use due diligence to obtain compliance herewith.

          4.4           Selling Samples: Licensor, at its sole and absolute discretion, may provide to Licensee selling samples from Licensor or other Horiyoshi Licensees, as selected by Licensee, at the cost incurred by Licensor (including freight and shipping) for each sample. Licensee shall be responsible for importation of such selling samples to the Territory and all costs thereof, including shipping, insurance and duty.

5.      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

          5.1           Notice of License: Licensee shall cause to appear on all tags and labels affixed to each article of the Licensed Products manufactured, sold or distributed by it hereunder, and on or within all packaging, advertising, promotional or display materials produced or used in connection with the Licensed Products, such notices and legends as Licensor may from time to time designate, including, without limitation, notice of the license hereby granted, the Licensed Mark, any other trademarks or registered marks or indications of Licensor, and other intellectual property rights.

          5.2           Form of Licensed Mark: Licensee shall affix to each article of the Licensed Products tags and labels in the form or forms from time to time prescribed by Licensor. Licensee shall use the Licensed Mark only in the form, color and manner from time to time authorized in writing by Licensor. Upon written notice and in its sole discretion, Licensor may change such forms, colors and manners of use of the Licensed Mark, and Licensee must comply with said changes as soon as all inventory then on hand, or contracted for prior to such notice, is used or sold. Licensee shall provide a detailed accounting of such inventory and proof of compliance within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such written notice.

          5.3           Copyrights, Patents and Utility Designs: If any articles of the Licensed Products which incorporate the Licensed Mark, or artwork appearing on labels, tags, packaging, advertisements or promotional materials which incorporate the Licensed Mark are original designs created by or for Licensee (in which case Licensee shall ensure that such designs are “works for hire” (or the equivalent under the laws of the Territory) or unconditionally assigned to Licensee), Licensee shall register any intellectual property rights in and to such designs in the name of Licensor, and shall cause all such rights to be assigned to Licensor in compliance with the requirements of the relevant laws of the United States and the copyright, patent, utility design and other intellectual property laws of the Territory. Such registration shall be made at the cost of Licensee, and shall be undertaken as Licensor shall direct.

Licensee hereby acknowledges that Licensor is the sole and exclusive owner of the Licensed Mark and that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to convey to Licensee any right or interest in the Licensed Mark, other than the specific license herein granted. Licensee shall not, during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, at any time challenge or contest directly or indirectly the validity, exclusive ownership, title and registration of the Licensor in and to the Licensed Mark or the Granted Rights, or the validity of the license granted under this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, Licensee shall execute such documents as Licensor may request from time to time to ensure that all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Mark resides in Licensor. Licensee shall exercise best commercial efforts to assist Licensor in maintaining Licensor's legal rights in the Licensed Mark, including furnishing samples, signing declarations or applications, and providing testimony upon Licensor's request.

          5.5           Trademark Use and Registration: The parties agree that all uses of the Licensed Mark by Licensee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of Licensor, and that only Licensor is and shall be entitled to register the Licensed Mark in the Territory or any other jurisdiction.

          5.6           No Use in Corporate Name: Licensee agrees not to use the Licensed Mark or any variant thereof in any part of its corporate, firm or business name, without the express prior written permission of Licensor and in accordance with the terms of Licensor.

          5.7           Approval of Advertising Materials: No tag, label, packaging, advertising or promotional material which incorporates the Licensed Mark shall be manufactured or used by Licensee without having first submitted the same to Licensor for its written approval. In no event shall Licensee undertake any television, radio, billboard, print, point- of-sale or other advertising, promotion or publicity in connection with the Licensed Products without Licensor's prior written approval of the form, nature and content of such advertising, promotion or publicity.

Licensee shall use best commercial efforts to limit the rights of any other person to whom it sells or distributes any of the Licensed Products in accordance with the foregoing provisions so that Licensor may in its own name and right cause such other person to forthwith cease the use of any material not previously approved in writing by Licensor.

          5.9           Artwork and Designs: All artwork and designs for the Licensed Products which incorporate the Licensed Mark, associated tags, labels and packaging shall be prepared by or for Licensee at Licensee's sole expense and subject to Licensor's approval.

Licensee shall not institute any suit or take any action on account of any such infringement or other use without first obtaining the written consent of Licensor. If Licensor grants such consent, Licensee may at its expense prevent, by legal action or other lawful means, any infringement of the Granted Rights. Any award of damages or compensation obtained by Licensee, net of Licensee's out-of-pocket expenses in obtaining the award, shall be included in Licensee's Net Sales when actually collected by Licensee. While Licensor may elect to retain counsel and prosecute any infringement, Licensor shall not be obligated hereunder to retain counsel, to bear any expenses, to institute legal action or to take any other action to prevent or remedy any such infringement.

          5.13           No Restriction on Other Goods or Services: For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Licensee shall be free to, and unrestricted in, the design, creation, marketing, promotion, sales and distribution of any other goods or services in all categories and throughout the entire world, without limitation, provided that any such goods or services do not incorporate, in whole or in part, the Licensed Mark (the “Licensee Goods”). Further, for the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Licensee or its assignees shall at all times exclusively own and control all trademarks, marks, trade dress and all other intellectual property related to the Licensee Goods.

8

          6.2           Prohibited Distribution Methods: In the interest of preserving the high reputation and good-will associated with the Licensed Mark, Licensee shall sell Licensed Products only to retail stores and merchants having a high-quality image, and which offer customer services, display and support commensurate with such image. Licensee shall exercise due care to avoid sales or distribution made in whole or in part for resale or distribution outside the Territory or for publicity or advertising purposes, combination or tie-in sales, premiums, giveaways or any other secondary use or similar method of merchandising, all of which are prohibited hereunder without the prior written approval of Licensor. Licensee shall incorporate the terms of this Section 6.2 in all sales agreements and invoices covering Licensed Products, in such form that Licensor may enforce such terms in its own name and right.

          6.3           Exclusivity: Tie-ins: Under no circumstances shall Licensee grant exclusivity for sales of any of the Licensed Products to any purchaser or purchasers without the prior written consent of Licensor. Licensee shall not require any purchaser to purchase any merchandise other than Licensed Products as a condition to any purchase of Licensed Products.

          6.4           Sales Policies: Licensee acknowledges that the availability and selection of styles, fabrication, colors and sizes are an integral part of the high reputation and value which the trade and the public have come to associate with the Licensed Mark, and agrees that its policies of sale, distribution, and exploitation shall be of a high and ethical standard, and that the same shall in no way reflect adversely upon the good name, trademarks and/or trade name of the Licensor. Licensee further agrees to use best commercial efforts to insure that, at all times during the term hereof, the Licensed Products ordered, and approved by Licensee for shipment, are shipped timely in compliance with the shipping schedule recited in each order.

          6.5           Sale of Licensed Products Via the Internet:

                         6.5.1      Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Licensee from distributing the Licensed Products by means of one or multiple sites on the internet owned and operated by Licensee. Licensee acknowledges that such site(s) shall be of such design and functionality as may reasonably be required to maintain or enhance the Granted Rights.

                         6.5.2      Licensee, without the prior written consent of Licensor, may operate, or authorize any third party to operate a site, the domain name to which is comprised of, or incorporates all or any aspect of the Granted Rights. Further, nothing herein shall restrict Licensee from using or authorizing the use of the Granted Rights as a meta tag or in other usual and customary ways of directing visits to such web site(s) (for example only, by means of linking).

                         6.5.3      The parties acknowledge that the worldwide web is not subject to the same geographic limitations as more traditional forms of retailing. Therefore, any such web site shall contain such statements and protections as are reasonable and customary to assist Licensee in its efforts to honor the territorial limitation of this Agreement (if any). Accordingly, any page containing the Licensed Products shall: (1) State that such goods are for delivery only within the Territory; (2) Be in the primary language(s) spoken within the Territory; and (3) Restrict the payment for the Licensed Products to the primary currency or currencies accepted within the Territory.

If such breach is not curable, such termination shall be effective upon the giving of notice. If such breach is a failure to pay money due, such termination shall be effective five (5) business days after the giving of notice. If such breach is curable and other than a failure to pay money due, such termination shall be effective ten (10) business days after the giving of notice. If Licensee cures such breach to Licensor's satisfaction within the period provided, Licensor's notice shall be deemed withdrawn and this Agreement shall not terminate.

          7.2           Bankruptcy: If Licensee (i) files or has filed against it a petition in bankruptcy, (ii) is adjudicated a bankrupt, (iii) becomes insolvent, (iv) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or an arrangement pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law, (v) suffers any similar or analogous event in consequences of debt, or (vi) has a receiver appointed over it or its business, this Agreement and the license hereby granted shall automatically and immediately terminate without notice of any kind being required. In the event of any such termination, Licensee, its representatives, receivers, trustees, administrators, agents, successors and assigns shall have no right to sell, exploit or deal in any way with or in any of the Licensed Products or any associated tags, labels, packaging, advertising or promotional materials without the prior written consent of Licensor.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

                            9.1.1      Licensee shall not, without first obtaining the Licensor's written consent, at any time, whether during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, disclose to any person, firm, agency, authority or other enterprise, or in any way use for its benefit any information related to customer lists, pricing, methods, processes, apparatus, program practices, employees, or other material conceived, designed, created, developed or assembled for or by it, its licensees, or its agents, which is not in the public domain;

                            9.1.2      Licensee shall instruct its employees having access to such information not to copy, duplicate or otherwise use or disclose such information to third parties, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

Any attempt by Licensee to grant a sublicense, or to assign, encumber or otherwise transfer or convey any interest in the Granted Rights, or any of its rights hereunder, without Licensor's prior written approval, shall be void and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement which breach may not be remedied by Licensee and may, at the discretion of Licensor, result in the immediate termination of this Agreement. Any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Licensee, or the sale of any substantial portion of the assets of Licensee except in the ordinary course of business, shall be deemed an assignment. No sublicense or assignment shall release Licensee from any of its obligations under this Agreement and Licensor shall be entitled to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement against Licensee, Licensee's Sublicensee or assignee, or all of them, as Licensor shall, in its absolute discretion, determine, and shall not be required to join any other in any action against any of them.
