Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a nontransferable, non-assignable (except as permitted hereby), non-divisible, and exclusive (as limited by Section 2.2) license, without the right to grant sublicenses, to use the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks, solely in the Territory and solely on or in connection with the manufacture, advertising, promotion, sale, offering for sale, and distribution of Licensed Products and related promotional and packaging material during the Contract Term of this Agreement or until this Agreement is sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the license shall be non-exclusive for the last one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Contract Term for which no extension is available under the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in the foregoing shall limit the rights of Licensor or Licensor's Affiliates with respect to the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks outside of the Territory. 2.2. Notwithstanding Section 2.1, Licensor shall have the right to manufacture and sell Licensed Products ("Special Make-Up Products") and other products containing the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks in the Territory, through stores and websites owned, controlled, or operated by Licensor ("TB Store(s)"). The foregoing is subject to Licensee's first right of refusal to present a proposal to manufacture and sell Special Make-Up Products to Licensor. Such proposal must be submitted within twenty (20) days of request from Licensor, and shall include a general business plan, manufacturing minimums and pricing. Licensor has five (5) days to review such proposal and notify Licensee of its decision. If Licensor elects to source the Special Make-Up Products itself, Licensor agrees to give Licensee the reasonable right to "match" a proposal made by another potential manufacturer of the Special Make-Up Products, and if Licensee matches the proposal, then Licensor shall purchase the Special Make-Up Products from Licensee, pursuant to the terms of the matched proposal. The parties acknowledge that the production of Special Make-Up Products is an activity that is anticipated to occur on an occasional basis, and not with great frequency throughout the Term of the Agreement. The parties agree that all TB Store Licensed Products sold Licensor shall be non-returnable. For avoidance of doubt, neither the foregoing nor anything else permits Licensor nor any Licensor Affiliate to manufacture or sell Licensed Product to Distributors or the wholesale market within the Territory. 2.3. All Licensed Products shall bear at least one of the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks and no Licensed Products shall be sold or otherwise distributed under any marks other than the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks. Licensor reserves all rights to the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks except as specifically granted herein to Licensee, and Licensor may exercise such reserved rights at any time. 2.4. Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to sell and promote the Licensed Products in the Territory while maintaining the high standard, quality, image and prestige represented by the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks and consistent with the channels of distribution specified in "Exhibit J." 2.5. Licensee agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to present the Licensed Products Territory-wide to the trade in the number of styles or designs reasonably anticipated under this Agreement. 2.6. The parties acknowledge that it is in their mutual best interest to maintain inventory and periodically refresh attractive displays of Licensed Products at each of the TB Stores. The terms and conditions for sales of Licensed Products to TB Stores are set forth on Exhibit D. 2.7. Licensee shall also make available to Licensor and its retail accounts (other than TB Stores), the opportunity to purchase reasonable quantities of Licensed Products for ultimate retail sale to consumers and for marketing, promotional, and sales-incentive purposes. Licensee agrees that such Licensed Products will be made available throughout the Contract Term and the Sell-Off Period for purchase by Licensor and its retail accounts at Licensee's lowest then-applicable wholesale sales price, in accordance with Licensee's standard dealer terms and conditions, the terms of which shall not be inconsistent with this Agreement. 2.8. During the Contract Term, Licensee or any Licensee Affiliate may not engage in any Competing Event without the prior written approval of Licensor. Attached to this Agreement as "Exhibit I" is a list of current licensors, brands and logos, of Licensee or its Affiliates; each of those licensors is deemed approved by Licensor regardless of any existing Competing Event. During the Contract Term, however, Licensee shall provide notice, pursuant to the notice provisions in this Agreement, to Licensor seeking written approval of any proposed Competing Event. If Licensor should fail to respond, in writing, within the first fifteen (15) business days after Licensee's notice, Licensee shall provide a second notice of the proposed Competing Event, pursuant to the notice provisions in this Agreement. Licensor shall then have five (5) additional business days to approve or disapprove, in writing, the potential Competing Event. Failure of the Licensor to respond to a request for approval under this Section 2.8 within the combined thirty (30) business day period shall be deemed approval by Licensor of the request. Licensor may require that Licensee provide Licensor with such additional documentation as shall be reasonably necessary to facilitate Licensor's analysis of the proposed Competing Event. Delay by Licensee in providing the additional documentation shall toll the time for Licensor to respond to the notice. 2.9. Licensee shall at all times employ one full-time National Sales/Brand Manager who shall be dedicated to the sale of Type C (specified on "Exhibit B") Licensed Product. Said National Sales/Brand Manager must be approved by Licensor and have significant experience in selling products similar to the Licensed Products. Additionally, Licensee shall at all times employ at least one full-time Designer/Merchandiser (plus as many other designers / merchandisers as needed) who is dedicated to the design and merchandising of Type C Licensed Product. Said Designer/Merchandiser must be approved by Licensor and have significant experience in designing and merchandising products similar to the Licensed Products. Licensee shall at all times employ one full-time National Sales/Brand Manager who shall be dedicated to the sale of Type D (specified on "Exhibit B") Licensed Product, and who has significant experience in selling products similar to the Licensed Products. Said National Sales/Brand Manager must be approved by Licensor, which approval may be granted upon request pursuant to the notice provisions in this Agreement. In the process of reviewing such a request, Licensee shall allow Licensor the opportunity to meet with the candidate and review credentials. If Licensor should fail to respond in writing to a request for any such approval within the first five (5) business days after the request is first submitted, Licensee shall provide a second notice of the request, pursuant to the notice provisions in this Agreement and Licensor shall have ten (10) additional business days to approve or disapprove, of the candidate in writing. Additionally, Licensee shall at all times employ at least one full-time Designer/Merchandiser (plus as many other designers / merchandisers as needed) who is dedicated to the design and merchandising of Type D Licensed Products, and has significant experience in designing and merchandising products similar to the Licensed Products. Said Designer/Merchandiser must be approved by Licensor in accordance with the same request, notice and approval procedures set forth above for the National Sales / Brand Manager. If at any time Licensee decides to appoint a "President" (or similar responsibility level) of its "Tommy Bahama" division (overseeing all of the Licensed Products), such individual must be approved by Licensor in accordance with the same request, notice and approval procedures set forth above for the National Sales / Brand Manager and Designer / Merchandiser. 2.10. Licensor and its Affiliates may, but shall not be obligated to, supply Licensee with Licensor Designs. Licensee agrees that Licensor Designs shall be utilized by Licensee only in the production, advertisement, marketing, promotion, distribution and sale of Licensed Products. If Licensee shall retain or employ any subcontract manufacturer other than an Affiliate of Licensee, each such manufacturer shall be provided with a written notice in the form set forth in "Exhibit N," notifying that manufacturer that Licensor Designs may be used only in compliance with the requirements of this agreement, and that any violation by the manufacturer of these restrictions shall be grounds for immediate termination of the manufacturer's services for Licensee relating to Licensed Products, in addition to Licensor's right to seek damages from each subcontract manufacturer for the use of Licensor's Designs not in conformance with the terms of this agreement. Licensee shall monitor the completion of, and be accountable to Licensor for, the subcontract manufacturers' notices; copies of each shall be supplied to Licensor within ten (10) days of its receipt by Licensee. 3. SALE OF LICENSED PRODUCTS 3.1. Licensee agrees that Licensed Products, including Close-outs, shall be distributed for retail sale only through better specialty stores, national buying groups, department stores and mail-order catalogs which are appropriate for the superior reputation, quality-control standards and public image of the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks ("Normal Channels of Distribution"). Licensee agrees to distribute Licensed Products, including Close-Outs, only to those retailers that are listed on "Exhibit J" and any other customer approved hereafter by Licensor. Before any order from any other prospective customer is accepted, including, but not limited to, internet retailers, Licensee shall submit an Additional Authorized Retailer Request Form (set forth on Addendum 1 to Exhibit J), to notify Licensor of the identity of the customer and provide sufficient information to enable Licensor to determine whether it is acceptable. Approval or disapproval of additional authorized retailers shall be determined on a case-by-case basis and provided by Licensor in writing. Approval of any retail account may be withdrawn by Licensor, on sixty (60) days advance written notice to Licensee pursuant to the notice requirements set forth in this Agreement, at any time if Licensor determines that advertising, marketing, promotion or sales by that retail account shall have been, or shall have become, inconsistent with the reputation, quality-control standards and public image of the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks. In the event that Licensor withdraws any such approval, Licensee may continue to sell to such customer until all pending orders have been filled. However, Licensee may not accept any new orders from the customer whose approval has been withdrawn after written notice of the withdrawal has been provided by Licensor in accordance with the foregoing. 3.2. Licensee expressly agrees that Licensee shall not distribute or sell Licensed Products, including Close-Outs, to any Distributor (other than its own contract sales affiliates), and Licensee shall distribute and sell Licensed Products, including Close-Outs, only through its Normal Channels of Distribution and only for accounts directly reselling to consumers. 3.3. Except with Licensor's prior written approval, all Close-Outs may be disposed of by Licensee through its Normal Channels of Distribution for Close-Outs, as described in "Exhibit J" and hereafter approved in accordance with Section 3.1. However, damaged and / or irregular Close-outs must be clearly marked as such, and remain of a quality not inconsistent with the quality-control standards of Licensor. All royalties due with respect to Close-outs shall be paid as required under this Agreement. 3.4. Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Licensee contacts, make introductions and provide addresses of anyone who is selling TOMMY BAHAMA apparel or other products. 4. APPROVAL OF LICENSED PRODUCTS 4.1. Licensor shall have the right to approve or disapprove in advance of sale the general design, quality, style, colors, appearance, material and workmanship of all Licensed Products, and to approve or disapprove in advance any brands, endorsements, trademarks, service marks, trade names, designs and logotypes, (whether included in the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks or not) used in connection with Licensed Products. Licensee shall not show, distribute or sell any Licensed Product which has not been approved in advance by Licensor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Licensor reserves the right to revoke approval of Licensed Products that were approved in previous seasons, however, Licensor agrees to that it will not do so unless Licensor reasonably concludes that such Licensed Products no longer reflect the taste, style, or quality associated with the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks. If Licensor revokes approval in accordance with the previous sentence, Licensee shall still be allowed to close out open orders of such Licensed Products, and to sell them off for a period of one (1) year from the date which such approval was revoked. 4.2. The parties acknowledge that it may not be practical for Licensee to submit actual samples of Licensed Products to Licensor for Licensor's examination and approval or disapproval. Licensee shall submit Design Documentation to Licensor at its New York address set forth below, at no cost or expense to Licensor. Licensee's submissions shall include, in addition, evidence or notations of the use of labels, tags or other form of identification proposed to be used on Licensed Products. Licensee shall submit Design Documentation to Licensor at least ninety (90) days prior to production of the applicable Licensed Products. If Licensor should fail to respond, in writing, within the first twenty (20) business days after Licensee's submission of the Design Documentation, Licensee shall resubmit the Design Documentation pursuant to the notice provisions in this Agreement. Licensor shall then have ten (10) additional business days to approve or disapprove, in writing, the Design Documentation. Failure of the Licensor to respond to a request for approval, in writing, under Section 4.2 within the combined thirty (30) business day period shall be deemed approval by Licensor of the Design Documentation. If Licensor reasonably desires additional information with respect to the design, fabrication or manufacture of any affected Licensed Product, Licensee agrees to provide that additional information. Delay by Licensee in providing the additional information shall toll the period for Licensor to provide a written response to the request to approve the Design Documentation. If any item is disapproved, in each case, Licensee will be advised of the specific reasons. Upon request, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for any import duties, shipping charges or other costs or expenses incurred by Licensor in connection with delivery of samples to Licensor. 4.3. In the event any Licensed Product is disapproved, Licensee agrees to consult with Licensor regarding Licensor's objections and any changes or modifications proposed by Licensor, and will, within thirty (30) days following receipt of Licensor's disapproval, use good-faith efforts to make mutually agreeable modifications or adjustments. In the event of a dispute between Licensor and Licensee regarding any Licensed Product, Licensor will have final control and approval with respect to the style, overall design, decorative details, engineering, structural integrity, production capabilities, manufacturing efficiencies, materials sourcing, product safety and similar matters. 4.4. Licensee assigns to Licensor all of Licensee's right, title, and interest in each design developed and used by Licensee (excluding such design elements that are excluded by the definition of Design Rights) in connection with any of the Licensed Products, and all rights associated with them, including, without limitation, all Design Rights. Licensee shall promptly execute and deliver all forms of assignment and other documents as may be reasonably required to transfer to Licensor any of Licensee's rights of ownership in the Design Rights. 4.5. Licensor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay any approval required hereunder and all requests by Licensee shall be considered by Licensor in good faith. 5. LICENSOR'S USE OF LICENSED PRODUCT For each style, model or variation of each Licensed Product, during the Contract Term, Licensee shall supply Licensor, at no charge and at no cost or expense, with up to five (5) Licensed Products per Contract Year, as Licensor may reasonably request for the marketing or promotional use of Licensor (not for resale), including, but not limited to, use in Licensor's showrooms and trade-show exhibits. In addition, Licensor may purchase Licensed Products from Licensee (at Licensee's manufacturer's cost) for the marketing or promotional use of Licensor (not for resale), including, but not limited to, use in Licensor's showrooms and trade-show exhibits. Upon request by Licensor, Licensee shall promptly provide one sample of all finished products, including hangtags using the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks for intellectual property purposes. 6. MINIMUM NET SALES 6.1. With respect to each Contract Year during the Contract Term, Licensee must generate the Minimum Net Sales as set forth on "Exhibit E." 7. GUARANTEED ROYALTY AND EARNED ROYALTY 7.1. In consideration for the license granted by the Licensor hereunder, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the Guaranteed Royalty set forth on "Exhibit F" hereto if and to the extent that the Earned Royalty during any calendar quarter (starting June 1 of each Calendar Year) is less than one quarter (1/4th) of the Guaranteed Royalty for the applicable Calendar Year. To the extent that a Guaranteed Royalty payment is due for any calendar quarter, such amount shall be paid following the thirtieth day after the end of such calendar quarter (September 30, December 30, March 30 and June 30). And to the extent that the Earned Royalty exceeds the Guaranteed Royalty for other quarters (before or after) a quarter in which a Guaranteed Royalty payment is due, such Earned Royalty may be applied toward the calculation of Guaranteed Royalty for such quarter. 7.2. Licensee shall pay to Licensor an Earned Royalty on Net Sales for all Sales of all Licensed Products by Licensee during each Contract Year based on the rates set forth on "Exhibit G" hereto. Earned Royalty payments shall be payable within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of each calendar month. Within each Contract Year, the Earned Royalty is paid as a non-refundable advance towards amount due as Guaranteed Royalty for Licensed Products. No part of any Earned Royalty may be carried forward or backward as a credit from one Contract Year to any other (though it may be carried forward or backward as a credit from one quarter to another within a specific Contract Year, as set forth in Section 7.1), or to any applicable Sell-Off Period. Past-due payments shall bear interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to (a) the Prime Rate plus ****** percent (******%) per annum, or (b) the maximum interest rate permissible under law, whichever is less. 7.3. All royalties due Licensor shall accrue upon the Sale of the Licensed Products regardless of time of collection by Licensee (subject to credits for returned Licensed Products). 8.

During the Contract Term, if Licensee participates in the M.A.G.I.C. Trade Show in connection with the Licensed Products, Licensee agrees to do so only in conjunction with the Tommy Bahama Booth, and to reimburse Licensor for Licensee's pro-rata share of trade show expenses based upon Licensee's square foot usage of the Tommy Bahama Booth, as allocated by Licensor in its sole discretion.

(ii) In addition to and not in limitation of a party's remedies for any event of default set forth in this section or breach of this Agreement, after one breach by a party of the same provision of this Agreement occurring within a ninety (90) day period, for which the defaulting party has been given notice and an opportunity to cure (if any) as provided herein, the non-defaulting party may also immediately terminate this Agreement upon any subsequent breach of the same provision within such ninety (90) day period without providing notice of breach or opportunity to cure. 20.2. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall immediately cease the manufacture of Licensed Products other than work in process, which may be completed, and shall not thereafter use TOMMY BAHAMA Marks on the Licensed Products or on any promotional and packaging materials, labels, literature, stationary or other items bearing the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks; provided, however, in the event of the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall have the Sell-Off Period to dispose of its inventory of Licensed Products in stock from the Termination Date or Expiration Date, whichever applies, on a non-exclusive basis, provided: (a) If the parties have not agreed to extend the Contract Term, then six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date, Licensee shall furnish Licensor with a written statement stating the quantity of on-hand and in-process inventory of Licensed Product it has in stock; (b) Within thirty (30) days before the Expiration Date or within ten (10) days after the Termination Date, Licensee shall provide Licensor with a statement indicating the number and description of Licensed Products which it has on hand, or is in the process of manufacturing, as of the date of expiration or termination, and the amount of such inventory necessary to fill Licensee's existing customer orders by Licensor. (c) Licensor shall have the option of conducting a physical inventory in order to ascertain or verify such inventory and/or statement. Licensor shall have the right during the first ten (10) days after the Termination Date or Expiration Date and after receiving from Licensee a statement indicating the quantity of on-hand and in-process inventory of Licensed Product Licensee has in stock to, in its sole discretion and by written notice to Licensor, purchase all such inventory at the cost of the inventory, excluding, however, inventory necessary for Licensee to fulfill existing orders. In the event that Licensor has not received a statement of Licensed Product inventory from Licensee at the end of the first ten (10) days after the Termination Date or Expiration Date, Licensor's right to purchase Licensee's inventory shall be extended until ten (10) days after Licensor receives such statement. Licensor shall pay the purchase price concurrently with notice of its election to purchase the inventory and upon receipt thereof, Licensee shall promptly deliver title to the purchased inventory to Licensor. In such event and upon payment of the purchase price therefore, Licensee shall forfeit its rights hereunder to dispose of such inventory in accordance with the Sell-Off Period except for retained inventory that is sold to fill any pending and unfilled orders. (d) Licensee shall provide Licensor with a monthly inventory report during the Sell-Off Period; (e) Such Licensed Product conforms to the samples previously approved in accordance with Section 4; (g) Licensee shall not then be in default in payment of royalties hereunder or material breach of any provisions of this Agreement or is in the process of curing any such breach; (h) All royalties, with respect to such Sell-Off Period, shall be reported and paid on a monthly basis on a form substantially similar to the Monthly Statements on "Exhibit K," and shall be paid monthly based on Licensee's actual sales of Licensed Product during the Sell-Off Period and said royalties shall not be credited against any Guaranteed Minimums, unless Licensee is in a Sell-Off Period due to breach of this Agreement and Guaranteed Minimums have accelerated and become due. (i) All sales of Licensed Products during the Sell-Off Period are subject to the provisions of this Agreement; (j) Licensee shall not sell Licensed Product to jobbers, and (k) The Licensor may itself use or license the use of TOMMY BAHAMA Marks in any manner so long as it does not preclude sales by Licensee of the Licensed Products during the Sell-Off Period. 20.3. In the event such Licensed Products do not conform to the samples submitted in accordance with Section 4, Licensee shall immediately remove all TOMMY BAHAMA Marks, including labels and promotional and packaging materials from the Licensed Products. In all other events, Licensee shall remove and return to Licensor all TOMMY BAHAMA Marks including labels and promotional and packaging material from any Licensed Product remaining in its inventory six (6) months after the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement. 20.4. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensor shall be entitled to all royalties due as of the date of expiration or termination. 20.5. Within ten (10) business days after expiration or termination, Licensee and Licensor shall deliver and return to other any and all documents embodying the other party's Confidential Information. 20.6. Neither the expiration nor earlier termination of this Agreement by Licensor due to causes imputable to Licensee shall relieve Licensee from its duty of nondisclosure provided herein, or from obligations for payments then due or accrued hereunder, or for any damage caused to Licensor. 20.7. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, except as provided in Section 20.2, all rights granted herein shall revert to Licensor, which may license others to use the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks in any way whatsoever. Except as provided in Section 20.2, Licensee shall, thereafter, refrain from all further use of TOMMY BAHAMA Marks. 20.8. In the event of termination by Licensor due to default or breach of this Agreement by Licensee, or in the event of termination by Licensee without cause (meaning a default or breach by Licensor), then Licensee shall pay to Licensor any royalties then owed to it pursuant to this Agreement, the total Guaranteed Minimum Annual Royalty amounts remaining unpaid for the balance of the Contract Term, as well as an amount equal to any other actual damages Licensor may have suffered on account of such termination or the acts or omissions from which termination resulted. 20.9. Licensor shall have and hereby reserves all rights and remedies which it has, or which are granted to it by operation of law, to enjoin the unlawful or unauthorized use of the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks, to collect royalties payable by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement and to be compensated for damages for breach of this Agreement. 20.10. Bankruptcy. (a) If either party shall become insolvent under either the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or files for any relief under any bankruptcy law or regulation in any jurisdiction or place, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if either party shall be made a defendant in any proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership law, other than an involuntary bankruptcy which is not stayed or discharged within ninety (90) days, or if either party shall be adjudged bankrupt, or if a receiver or trustee for the property of a party shall be appointed, this Agreement shall hereupon terminate at the option of the other party, and shall be subject to the procedures set forth in Section 20.2. (b) The parties hereby agree and intend that this Agreement is an executory contract governed by Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. (c) In the event of Licensee's bankruptcy, the parties intend that all royalties payable under this Agreement following the commencement of a bankruptcy case shall be deemed administrative priority claims under the Bankruptcy Code because the parties recognize and agree that the bankruptcy estate's enjoyment of this Agreement will (i) provide a material benefit to the bankruptcy estate during its reorganization and (ii) deny Licensor the benefit of the exploitation of the rights through alternate means during the bankruptcy reorganization. (d) The parties acknowledge and agree that any delay in the decision of a debtor-in-possession or trustee of the bankruptcy estate to assume or reject the Agreement (the "Decision Period") materially harms the party that is not subject to the bankruptcy proceeding by interfering with such party's ability to alternatively exploit the rights granted under this Agreement during a Decision Period of uncertain duration. The parties recognize that arranging appropriate alternative exploitation of the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks or replacing it is a time consuming and expensive process and that it is unreasonable for Licensor to endure a Decision Period of extended uncertainty. Therefore, the parties agree that the Decision Period shall not exceed sixty (60) days. (e) Licensor, in its interest to safeguard its valuable interests (including, without limitation, its intellectual property rights in the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks), has relied on the particular skill and knowledge base of Licensee. Therefore, the parties acknowledge and agree that in a bankruptcy context this Agreement is a license of the type described by Section 365(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and may not be assigned without the prior written consent of Licensor. 21. INDEMNITY AND DISCLAIMER 21.1. Licensor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Licensee and/or any of its related entities, officers, directors, employees, and/or agents ("Licensee Indemnitees") harmless against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages and judgments of any third parties arising solely out of the use of the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks by the Licensee in accordance with this Agreement or material breach by Licensor of this Agreement, provided that the Licensee shall give notice to the Licensor within ten (10) business days after notification of each such claim, demand, cause of action or judgment; provided, however, that any failure to provide such notice shall not affect Licensor's obligation to indemnify Licensee and the Licensee Indemnitees except to the extent that Licensor is prejudiced thereby. With respect to the foregoing indemnity, the Licensor agrees to defend and hold the Licensee and the Licensee Indemnitees harmless from any third party claims at no cost or expense to Licensee whatsoever, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, expert fees and court costs. The Licensor shall have the right to undertake and conduct the defense of any cause of action so brought and handle any such claim or demand with attorneys of its own choosing. Licensor shall keep Licensee reasonably advised of the progress of the matter, including providing Licensee with copies of all pleadings and correspondence or protective orders entered in the matter. Notwithstanding anything stated in this paragraph, Licensor has no duty to indemnify or otherwise hold harmless the Licensee or any of the Licensee Indemnitees in the event the claims, demands, causes of action and judgments of any third parties are caused by Licensee's breach of this Agreement or any use of the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks outside the scope of this Agreement, misuse of the TOMMY BAHAMA Marks, or any negligence on the part of the Licensee and/or any of the Licensee Indemnities. 21.2. Licensee hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Licensor and/or any of its related entities, officers, directors, employees and/or agents ("Licensor Indemnitees") harmless against any and all claims, demands, causes of action and judgments arising out of Licensee's manufacture, distribution, shipment, advertising, promotion, offering for sale and/or sale of Licensed Products and/or the Promotional and Packaging Material depicting such TOMMY BAHAMA Marks or relating to any material breach by Licensee of this Agreement (excluding matters for which indemnification is to be provided by Licensor under Section 21.1) provided that the Licensor shall give notice to the Licensee within ten (10) business days after notification of each such claim, demand, cause of action or judgment; provided, however, that any failure to provide such notice shall not affect Licensee's obligation to indemnify Licensor except to the extent that Licensee is prejudiced thereby. With respect to the foregoing indemnity, the Licensee agrees to defend and hold the Licensor and the Licensor Indemnitees harmless at no cost or expense to the Licensor whatsoever, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, expert fees and court costs. The Licensee shall have the right to undertake and conduct the defense of any cause of action so brought and handle any such claim or demand with attorneys of its own choosing. Nothing in this provision shall limit Licensor's right to have attorneys of its choosing, at Licensor's cost. Licensee shall keep Licensor reasonably advised of the progress of the matter, including providing Licensor with copies of all pleadings and correspondence to the extent allowable under any confidentiality agreement or protective orders entered in the matter. Notwithstanding anything stated in this Section, Licensee has no duty to indemnify or otherwise hold harmless the Licensor or any of the Licensor Indemnitees to the extent the claims, causes of action, damages or judgments are caused by Licensor's breach of this Agreement or any negligence on the part of the Licensor and/or any of the Licensor Indemnitees. 21.3. The provisions of this Section 21 and the parties' obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 21.4. The expressed warranties, if any, contained in this Agreement are in lieu of all other warranties, guarantees, promises, affirmations or representations, express or implied, which could be deemed applicable to this license and to the Licensed Products manufactured, used or sold hereunder. NO EXPRESSED WARRANTIES AND NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE OR OTHERWISE, OF THE LICENSED PRODUCTS OTHER THAN THOSE WHICH MAY BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY. LICENSEE HEREBY WAIVES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES, CONDITIONS AND LIABILITIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW OR OTHERWISE. 22. INSURANCE & LOSS 22.1. Licensee shall maintain, at its sole expense, the following insurance coverage, with a financially sound insurance company having an A.M. Best Rating of A-(VI) or better, throughout the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years after its expiration or termination: (i) worker's compensation, occupational disease, employer's liability (with limits of not less than $1 million for bodily injury by accident for each accident, and $1 million for bodily injury by disease for each employee), disability benefit and other similar insurance required under laws of the state that apply to the activities to be performed by Licensee under this Agreement; (ii) commercial general liability insurance including products liability, blanket contractual liability, personal injury and advertising liability coverage with a combined single limit of $3 million per occurrence for bodily injury, including death and property damage; (iii) comprehensive automotive liability insurance for both owned and non-owned vehicles used by Licensee either on or away from premises with a combined single limit of $1 million per occurrence for bodily injury, including death and property damage; and (iv) umbrella excess liability insurance, with a combined single limit of $2 million per occurrence for bodily injury, including death and property damage. 22.2. Licensee shall ensure that OXFORD INDUSTRIES, INC., it's subsidiaries, divisions (including TOMMY BAHAMA GROUP, INC.), joint ventures, directors, officers, employees, agents and assigns, shall be named as additional insureds with respect to the insurance described in clause (ii) through (iv) of Section 22.1.

Under no circumstances will Licensee's insurance carrier be in a position to control the destiny of such products. Licensor's approval of a reasonable disposal method shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any salvage activity that could diminish the reputation or integrity of the TOMMY BAHAMA mark and its well-known reputation for superior quality shall be deemed unreasonable. 23. JOINT VENTURE This Agreement does not create an agency, partnership, franchise, or joint venture. Nothing herein contained shall be so construed as constituting Licensee an agent of or authorizing Licensee to incur financial obligations on Licensor's behalf without Licensor's authorization in writing, except as specifically stated herein. 24. FORCE MAJEURE Neither party shall be liable to the other for any loss, injury, delay or damage whatsoever suffered or incurred by the other party due to causes beyond such party's control, including but not limited to, acts of God, strikes or other labor disturbances or third parties, war, act of terror, sabotage, and any other cause or causes, whether similar or dissimilar to those herein specified, which cannot be controlled by such party. 25.

VALIDITY In the event that any one or more provisions or terms contained in this Agreement are found invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of this Agreement as a whole or of any remaining provisions or terms contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired. 29.

EXHIBIT M ADVERTISING POLICY (TOMMY BAHAMA(TM) LOGO) ADVERTISING POLICY FOR TOMMY BAHAMA 2005 Thank you in advance for helping make Tommy Bahama one of the fastest growing, most profitable, and cleanest brands in our industry today! Our goal is to maintain that brand integrity, by always presenting Tommy Bahama in an upscale, manner that sets us apart in the marketplace as the prestigious island lifestyle brand. We ask that you follow these advertising and marketing guidelines, so that a successful, strong and consistent brand message is ensured. IMAGE USAGE Each season we will offer images that can be used for your advertising needs. These visuals may be used for print, outdoor, brochures and PR materials; however these visuals are not authorized for broadcast video use or use in off-price selling. Please note the following parameters: Tommy Bahama images cannot be used without the brand logo present. We highly recommend using the approved Tommy Bahama ad template for all of your advertising needs. If you are not using the Tommy Bahama template, then the Tommy Bahama position, image and logo must be the main focus of the ad, in order to maintain the premiere status of the brand. The limitation on these images is valid for one year from launch of the product/collection at retail. PRICING POLICY IN AN ADVERTISEMENT In accordance with our license agreement with Tommy Bahama Brand, the Tommy Bahama name may not be used in clearance, discount or off-price advertising of any kind, nor in connection with a sale. This has long been a policy of the Tommy Bahama brand in all of its other product categories, and it is our intent to maintain that perspective in the FILL IN CATEGORY category. For those retailers who price products within the store with both the suggested and the actual prices, that practice can be used within the store only. All advertising of the Tommy Bahama brand can include a single price for the products featured or shown. However, there can be no mention of a sale price, sale percentage off, regular price/sale price, old price/new price in the ad itself. This policy must be followed if the name Tommy Bahama and/or any photo, sketch or other depictions of the brand or its products are present in the ad. This applies to all communication media vehicles. The following are examples of advertising practices that are not allowed by the policy. Failure to adhere to this policy can and will result in the elimination of the account as a Tommy Bahama approved retailer. - Percentage discounts of any amount are not permitted in any ads; no percent off reference is acceptable. - Comparative price advertising such as regular price/new price is not acceptable. Example: bed regular price: $3000, now $1800, is not acceptable. - Was/is pricing in advertising is not acceptable. Example: watch was $595, now is $495. - Tommy Bahama brand name, logos or any company identifiers cannot be in an ad that features off price or discount advertising of other lines/brands. - No depiction of any Tommy Bahama products can be present in any ad that contains any version of off price or discount advertising. - Tommy Bahama images cannot be used without the brand name present, and therefore cannot appear in any off price ads. - In the case of a storewide sale, there can be no reference in the advertising communication that the sale applies to Tommy Bahama, even if the product is discounted within the store. - In the case of floor sample clearance events, the Tommy Bahama product can be included in the sale but not in the advertising and communication that takes place outside the store. In addition, we ask that you refrain from advertising and/or pricing Tommy Bahama products with a 99 ending, as this implies that we are a price driven brand or that the product is being cleared. BRAND IDENTITY It is essential that the identity of the Tommy Bahama brand is maintained and communicated properly through marketing and advertising. It is very important to distinguish between our corporate name (fill in your corporate name) and the Tommy Bahama brand name. Only the brand name Tommy Bahama FILL IN CATEGORY NAME should be used. Correct Usage (Retailer & Tommy Bahama): - Joe's Tropical Store presents Tommy Bahama Outdoor Furnishings - Joe's Tropical Store presents Tommy Bahama Outdoor Furniture's Indochine Collection - Joe's Tropical Store presents the Indochine Collection by Tommy Bahama Outdoor Furniture Incorrect Usage (co-branding of manufacturer and Tommy Bahama): - Joe's Tropical Store presents Tommy Bahama Outdoor Furniture by Brown Jordan - Joe's Tropical Store presents Brown Jordan's Tommy Bahama Outdoor Furniture LOGO USAGE Corporate name recognition will only be acceptable through logo use. The Tommy Bahama logo has been uniquely modified and should avoid being set as type. It is critical to all Tommy Bahama retailers that this policy is strictly followed. If you are unsure of your compliance with this policy, please call the Director of Licensing for clarification of what you are considering before the ads are placed and run. THANK YOU.

We further certify that we have in effect a program of monitoring our Subcontractors and Suppliers, which manufacture TOMMY BAHAMA brand merchandise for compliance with the foregoing. We also certify that the merchandise is in compliance with all laws governing the designation of country of origin and, if applicable, is being shipped under legally issued and valid export license or visa." Any merchandise shipped that is not accompanied by a commercial invoice bearing the required language will be subject to rejection and returned at Manufacturer's expense and Manufacturer may be charged for any and all costs that are incurred by Company due to the rejection, including, but not limited to, damages sustained as a result of Company's liability to customers, any resulting fines and penalties and attorneys' fees for said rejected goods. Such rejected goods may not be sold or distributed by Manufacturer to any entity other than Company. 7. USE OF TRADEMARKS. (a) Except in connection with the manufacture of Licensed Products, Manufacturer shall not use the Trademarks, in any manner whatsoever (including, without limitation, for advertising, promotion and publicity purposes), without obtaining the prior written approval of TBG, which may be withheld in TBG's sole discretion. In any event, Manufacturer shall not at any time use, promote, advertise, display or otherwise commercialize the Trademarks or any material utilizing or reproducing the Trademarks in any manner. Manufacturer shall not make any reference in its business materials, advertising or in any of its business activities to the fact that Manufacturer is being contracted by Company to manufacture merchandise under any Trademarks owned by or licensed to TBG (b) The Trademarks will appear on all of the Licensed Products and all packaging in the manner provided by Company. (c) No other trademarks or notices shall appear on Licensed Products or packaging without Company's and TBG's prior written consent in each instance. (d) Manufacturer's use of the Trademarks shall inure to the benefit of TBG. Manufacturer shall take any and all steps required by TBG and the law to perfect TBG's rights therein. 8. PROPERTY OF OWNER. (a) Manufacturer recognizes the great value of the goodwill associated with the Trademarks and the identification of the Licensed Products with the Trademarks and acknowledges that the Trademarks and all rights therein and goodwill pertaining thereto belong exclusively to TBG. Manufacturer further recognized and acknowledges that a breach by Manufacturer of any of its covenants, agreements or other undertakings hereunder will cause TBG irreparable damage, which cannot be adequately remedied in damages in an action at law, and may, in addition thereto, constitute an infringement of TBG's rights in the Trademarks, thereby entitling TBG to equitable remedies, costs and reasonable attorney's fees. (b) To the extent any rights in and to the Trademarks are deemed to accrue to Manufacturer, Manufacturer hereby assigns any and all such rights, at such time as they may be deemed to accrue, including the related goodwill, to TBG. (c) Manufacturer shall (i) never challenge the validity of TBG's ownership in and to the Trademarks or any application for registration thereof, or any trademark registration thereof and (ii) never contest the fact that Manufacturer's rights under this Agreement are solely those of a manufacturer and terminate upon expiration of this Agreement. Manufacturer shall, at any time, whether during or after the term of the Agreement, execute any documents reasonably requested by TBG to confirm TBG's ownership rights. All rights in the Trademarks other than those specifically granted herein are reserved by TBG for its own use and benefit. (d) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, Manufacturer shall not (i) use the Trademarks, in whole or in part, as a corporate or trade name or (ii) join any name or names with the Trademarks so as to form a new trademark. Manufacturer agrees not to register, or attempt to register, the Trademarks in its own name or any other name, anywhere in the world. (e) All provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 9. TRADEMARK PROTECTION. (a) In the event that Manufacturer learns of any infringement or imitation of the Trademarks or of any use by any person or entity of a trademark similar to the Trademarks, it shall promptly notify Company and thereupon, Company shall so notify TBG. TBG shall take such actions as it deems advisable for the protection of its rights in and to the Trademark and, if requested to do so by TBG, Manufacturer shall cooperate with TBG in all respects. In no event, however, shall TBG be required to take any action if it deems it inadvisable to do so. (b) TBG shall defend, at its cost and expense, and with counsel of its own choice, any action or proceeding brought against Manufacturer for alleged trademark infringement arising out of Manufacturer's use of the Trademarks in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. (c) Manufacturer shall cooperate with TBG in the execution, filing and prosecution of any trademark, copyright or design patent applications that TBG may desire to file and for that purpose Manufacturer shall supply to TBG from time to time such samples as may be reasonably required. (d) All provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 10. TRANSSHIPMENT. Transshipment is an illegal practice of falsely documenting the country of origin of the raw materials used to manufacture the Licensed Products and the finished Licensed Products shipped to the United States in order to evade quota restraints on the country of actual production and the shipment of products under counterfeit export licenses or visas. Manufacturer acknowledges that transshipment, in any form, violates U.S. federal law, that Company and TBG will review all documents received from Manufacturer to assure the veracity and the authenticity of the sources of Products and that, upon indication of transshipment of the Products by Manufacturer, Company or TBG reserves the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and pursue available remedies against Manufacturer. 11.

Company shall have the right to inspect any seconds, thirds or excess Licensed Products to ensure that they comply with the terms of this Agreement. 12. STOLEN GOODS OR DAMAGED GOODS. Manufacturer will provide Company with immediate notice of any stolen Licensed Products or damaged Licensed Products including Licensed Products that were then in production. With regard to damaged Licensed Products, Manufacturer shall not have the right to sell any damaged Licensed Products. With regard to stolen Licensed Products, Manufacturer shall cooperate with Company with respect to any action regarding the stolen Licensed Products. 13. DESIGN OWNERSHIP. All rights, including without limitation, copyright, trade secret and design patent, to designs for the Licensed Products including, without limitation, artwork, prints, patterns, package designs, labels, advertising or promotional materials or any other designs using or used on or affixed thereto, and to any package design, bearing the Trademarks shall, as between the parties hereto be the property of TBG. All Licensed Products manufactured from designs submitted by Manufacturer and approved by TBG shall bear the Trademarks. 14. CONFIDENTIALITY. During the term of this Agreement and thereafter, each party shall keep strictly secret and confidential any and all information acquired from the other party hereto or its designee and shall take all necessary precautions to prevent unauthorized disclosure of such information. Manufacturer acknowledges that it will receive from Company prints, designs, ideas, sketches, and other materials which Company and TBG intend to use on or in connection with lines of merchandise which have not yet been put into the channels of distribution. The parties recognize that these materials are valuable property of TBG. Manufacturer acknowledges the need to preserve the confidentiality and secrecy of these materials and agrees to take all necessary steps to ensure that use by it or by its employees and/or agents will in all respects preserve such confidentiality and secrecy. Manufacturer shall take all reasonable precautions to protect the secrecy of the materials, samples, and designs prior to their commercial distribution or the showing of samples for sale, and shall not manufacture any merchandise employing or adapted from any of said designs except for Company, TBG or its affiliates or designees. 15. FORCE MAJEURE. (a) No failure or omission by either of the parties to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement if such failure or omission is the result of acts of God, war, riot, accidents, compliance with any action or restriction of any government or agency thereof, strikes or labor disputes, inability to obtain suitable raw materials, fuel power or transportation, or any other factor or circumstance beyond the control of the party, which is not attributable to the negligence of such party. (b) Any suspension of performance by reason of this paragraph shall be limited to the period during which such cause of failure exists, but such suspension shall not affect the running of the term of this Agreement. However, if the suspension of performance by reason of this paragraph exceeds six months, either party may give written notice of termination of this Agreement. 16. MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS. Manufacturer warrants and represents that: (a) It has and will have throughout the term of this Agreement, the full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform fully and in accordance with all of the terms of this Agreement. (b) The entering of this Agreement by Manufacturer does not violate any agreements, rights or obligations existing between Manufacturer and any other person, entity, or corporation.
