(a)   Restrictive Covenants.   As used in this 5.15, “Acquiror” shall be deemed to include Acquiror and any direct or indirect subsidiary of Buyer, including Merger Sub.

          (i)     Non-Competition Covenants. Stockholder acknowledges that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.15 are reasonable in scope, consistent with certain rights granted by the Investor Rights Agreement referenced in Section 6.3(c) hereof and are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Acquiror. So long as Stockholder is providing services to Acquiror, whether as employee, officer, director, consultant, or otherwise, and for a period one (1) year after the termination of such services, Stockholder agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in or become directly or indirectly interested in any proprietorship, corporation, partnership, firm, trust, company; limited liability company or other entity (whether as owner, partner, director, manager, trustee, beneficiary, stockholder, agent, creditor, member, or otherwise) that competes with Acquiror in the sales and marketing of premium denim apparel (the “Business”) (as the Business is conducted on the date of this Agreement) within the Restricted Territory. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Restricted Territory” means:  any State in the United States of America or country where Acquiror conducts Business as of the Closing Date.

16

      (ii)     Non-Solicitation Covenant.

(b)   Remedies.

          (i)     Injunctive Relief. Stockholder expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Business is highly competitive and that a violation of any of the provisions of this Section 5.15 would cause immediate and irreparable harm, loss and damage to Acquiror not adequately compensable by a monetary award. Stockholder further acknowledges and agrees that the time periods and territorial areas provided for herein are the minimum necessary to adequately protect the legitimate business interests of Acquiror. Without limiting any of the other remedies available to Acquiror, at law or in equity, or Acquiror’s right or ability to collect money damages, Stockholder agrees that any actual or threatened violation of any of the provisions of Section 5.15 may be restrained or enjoined by any court of competent jurisdiction, and that a temporary restraining order or emergency, preliminary or final injunction may be issued in any court of competent jurisdiction, upon one day’s notice and without bond.

Accordingly, if any particular portion of Section 5.15 shall ever be adjudicated as invalid or unenforceable, or if the application thereof to any party or circumstance shall be adjudicated to be prohibited by or invalidated by such laws or public policies, such section or sections shall be (i) deemed amended to delete therefrom such portions so adjudicated or (ii) modified as determined appropriate by such a court, such deletions or modifications to apply only with respect to the operation of such section or sections in the particular jurisdictions so adjudicating on the parties and under the circumstances as to which so adjudicated.

  (iii)     Legal Fees. Stockholder shall reimburse Acquiror for all reasonable costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees, incurred by Acquiror in connection with the enforcement of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.15 if Acquiror prevails.
