WHEREAS, an authorized person has formed the Company for the purposes of effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Yakira desires to contribute valuable assets to the Company in return for a portion of the limited liability company interests in the Company and the Company desires to accept such assets and to assume certain liabilities associated therewith and issue such membership interests to Yakira; and

WHEREAS, Iconix desires to contribute cash in the amount of $63,500,000 to the Company in return for a portion of the limited liability company interests in the Company and the Company desires to accept such cash and issue such membership interests to Iconix; and

WHEREAS, each Transferor desires to sell, and the Company desires to purchase, certain assets and to assume certain liabilities associated therewith, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained and for other consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

CONTRIBUTION AND SALE TRANSACTIONS

Section 2.1.

Contributions.

(a) Effective on the Closing Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Yakira shall irrevocably transfer, contribute and assign to the Company all of its ownership interest and rights of any kind in and to all of the Assets owned by Yakira, including those Assets that are designated pursuant to Section 2.8 as being Contribution Assets (the “Contribution Assets”), other than any Assets of Yakira that are designated pursuant to Section 2.8 as being Sale Assets, and the Company hereby shall acquire all ownership interest and rights of any kind in and to all of the Contribution Assets and assume all obligations for performance, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, under any Specified Contracts included within such Contribution Assets. Yakira hereby acknowledges that such transfer, contribution and assignment made hereunder will, when effective, be absolute and irrevocable, without reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever. It is the intention of Yakira and the Company that the transfer, contribution and assignment will, when effective, constitute immediate and absolute conveyances from Yakira to the Company of all of Yakira’s right, title and interest in the Contribution Assets, including the right to amend, terminate, modify or supplement, and to grant waivers, consents or approvals under the terms of any Specified Contract included within the Contribution Assets, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the documents executed in connection herewith. In exchange for the contribution of the Contribution Assets to the Company, Yakira shall receive, and shall concurrently distribute to Gerszberg, who shall concurrently contribute to Suchman, forty-nine percent (49%) of the limited liability company interests in the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement of the Company by and among Gerszberg, Suchman and Iconix in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Operating Agreement”).

(b) On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Iconix shall pay to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds an aggregate amount of sixty three million five hundred thousand dollars ($63,500,000) (the “Cash Contribution”) in the manner described in Section 2.7. After giving effect to the Cash Contribution, Iconix shall hold fifty-one percent (51%) of the limited liability company interests in the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement (the “Iconix Interests”).

Section 2.2.

Recharacterization.

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Contribution Assets by Yakira to the Company be, and is, treated as an absolute contribution to the capital of the Company. Further, it is not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Contribution Assets by Yakira to the Company to secure a debt or other obligation of Yakira or any other Person. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Contribution Assets are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to continue to be property of Yakira and the payment of any distribution by the Company is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to represent a loan to Yakira by the Company or for any reason the transfer of the Contribution Assets hereunder from Yakira is held by a court of competent jurisdiction not to constitute an absolute and irrevocable transfer, then (i) this Agreement shall instead be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the applicable UCC; and (ii) Yakira shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Company a security interest in all of Yakira’s right, title and interest in and to the Contribution Assets and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property. Any pledge or assignment of the interest of the Company in and to the Contribution Assets shall also be deemed to be a pledge or assignment of any security interest created hereby. Yakira and the Company shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary, including, without limitation, filing all applicable UCC financing statements without need of signatures of the parties to the extent allowed by law, to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in any of the Contribution Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such through the term of this Agreement.

-2-

(b) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Sale Assets by the Transferors to the Company be, and is, treated as an absolute sale to the Company. Further, it is not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Sale Assets by any Transferor to the Company to secure a debt or other obligation of any Transferor or any other Person. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Sale Assets are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to continue to be property of a Transferor and the payment of the Purchase Price by the Company is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to represent a loan to any Transferor by the Company or for any reason the transfer of the Sale Assets hereunder from any Transferor is held by a court of competent jurisdiction not to constitute an absolute and irrevocable transfer, then (i) this Agreement shall instead be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the applicable UCC; and (ii) each Transferor shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Company a security interest in all of such Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Sale Assets conveyed by such Transferor and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property. Any pledge or assignment of the interest of the Company in and to the Sale Assets shall also be deemed to be a pledge or assignment of any security interest created hereby. Each Transferor and the Company shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary, including, without limitation, filing all applicable UCC financing statements without need of signatures of the parties to the extent allowed by law, to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in any of the Sale Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such through the term of this Agreement.

Section 2.3.

Creditors.

(a) It is the intention of Yakira and the Company that the Contribution Assets contributed by Yakira to the capital of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall not be part of Yakira’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Yakira under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Applicable Law. Yakira understands and acknowledges that the Company and its creditors will rely on this characterization in making various commercial arrangements between them.

(b) It is the intention of the Transferors and the Company that the Sale Assets sold by the Transferors to the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall not be part of any Transferor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Transferor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Applicable Law. Each Transferor understands and acknowledges that the Company and its creditors will rely on this characterization in making various commercial arrangements between them.

Section 2.4. Purchases and Sales. On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Transferors agree to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Company as of the Closing Date, and the Company agrees to purchase and take assignment and delivery from the Transferors as of the Closing Date, all of Transferors’ right, title and interest in and to the Assets that are designated pursuant to Section 2.8 as being Sale Assets (the “Sale Assets”), free and clear of all Liens and to assume the Assumed Liabilities.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company shall (a) assume and agree to pay, honor, discharge and perform when due, any and all of the Transferors’ liabilities, commitments and obligations under the Specified Contracts, in each case arising and relating to periods on and after the Closing Date, (b) enter into a certain Non-Negotiable Promissory Note by and between the Company and LF Centennial Limited and (c) assume liabilities arising out of the Proceedings set forth in Items 1 and 2 in Section 3.1(f) of the Disclosure Schedules (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing “Excluded Liabilities” shall include any liabilities incurred or resulting from (directly or indirectly) (i) any breach or default by any Transferor or any Affiliate of any Transferor under any Specified Contract and any representation, warranty or covenant of Transferors and their Affiliates set forth herein or in any agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any liability arising out of the Proceedings set forth in Items 3 through 8 on Section 3.1(f) of the Disclosure Schedules and (iii) any liability arising with respect to the Rabin Note.

(t) Disclosure Schedules Accurate. All of the information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto, is true, correct and complete in all material respects.

Section 4.4. Receipt of License Income.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the Closing occurs, it is their intention that License Income be apportioned as of the Closing Date. To the extent that License Income relates to products shipped prior to the Closing Date, such License Income shall be for the account of the Transferors (as applicable to them). To the extent that License Income relates to products shipped on or after the Closing Date (except with respect to the prepaid assets, including those set forth in Schedule 3.1(s) of the Disclosure Schedules), such License Income shall be for the account of the Company. Notwithstanding any apportionment of License Income relating to the shipment of products, the Transferors will also be entitled to receive payment of minimum royalties and similar payments due under the Specified Contracts on a pro-rated basis for periods of time up to the Closing Date.

(b) To the extent that the Transferors, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, receive Licensed Income after the Closing Date that is attributable to the other, such party(ies) shall remit such payments (or portions thereof, as applicable) with all appropriate endorsements to the appropriate party along with copies of all accounting statements, reports and other documents received with such payments. All such remittances shall be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of payments of the applicable License Income. All such remittances shall be made in United States Dollars via wire transfer, or in any other mutually agreed manner.

-15-

(c) Each party shall be responsible for the payment of any taxes, duties or withholdings related to any Licensed Income apportioned to such party pursuant to this Section 4.4. At the time a party makes a payment to another party pursuant to this Section 4.4, the applicable party making payment shall provide a statement identifying the particular Specified Contract(s) under which amounts were received by such party, and the amount(s) received thereunder. Together with each such statement, the applicable party shall also deliver copies of any related statements or reports delivered by the applicable counterparty(ies) under the Specified Contracts..

(d) Each of the Transferors and the Company shall prepare and maintain complete and accurate books of account and records covering all transactions relating to Licensed Income. The representatives of the Transferors and the Company may, from time to time during regular business hours and on reasonable advance notice for one (1) year after the Closing, inspect and audit the books of account and records of one another and examine and copy all documents and materials relating to the Specified Contracts and the Trademarks as necessary to confirm and give effect to the apportionment of the Licensed Income as provided in this Section 4.4. Each of the Transferor’s and the Company’s said books of account, records and documents, including computer records, shall be maintained for at least two (2) years (or such longer period as required by law) after the end of the annual period to which they relate and through the completion of any audit commenced pursuant to the terms hereof. If any inspection or audit discloses that any of such party’s remittances required under this Section 4.4 was less than the amount that should have been paid, the payment required to be made to eliminate the discrepancy, plus interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1 1/2%) per month or the maximum legal rate, whichever is less, shall be made promptly, and, if the discrepancy is 5% or more of the amount actually paid for the period under audit or inspection, such party promptly shall reimburse the appropriate part(ies) for their reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the inspection or audit.

(e) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all License Income due to the Transferors or the Company, as the case may be, for periods prior to, on or after the Closing Date. The Company shall not take any action (including, without limitation, amendments or modifications to the Specified Contracts) that would reduce or delay the payment of any amounts of Licensed Income that are payable to the Transferors under the Specified Contracts for periods prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.4 shall preclude Transferors from taking any action that they deem necessary or appropriate to collect License Income for periods prior to the Closing Date apportioned to them under the terms hereof to the extent the Company has failed to collect, or failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, such License Income.

Section 4.5. Limitation on Exploitation of the Assets. Except as authorized by Iconix or the Company, or as may be permitted under the Core License Agreement, no Transferor shall, from and after the Closing Date, enter into or execute any agreements or licenses effecting any exploitation of the Assets.

Section 4.7. No Limitation on Rights. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company’s receipt or inspection of the Assets shall not constitute notice to the Company of any default or defect in or limitation on the right of any Transferor to enter into, execute or implement this Agreement fully or in any right, title or interest acquired by the Company in or to the Assets hereunder, and shall not limit, restrict or waive any warranties, representations, covenants or agreements made by any Transferor in this Agreement or any right, title or interest acquired by the Company from any Transferor in and to the Assets.

Section 4.8. Further Assurances.

Section 4.9. Power of Attorney. Each of the Transferors irrevocably constitutes, authorizes, empowers and appoints the Company as such Transferor’s true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution and delegation), in each of the Transferors’ name and in each of such Transferor’s place and stead, or in the Company’s name, to take such action, and to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments or documents which the Company at any time deems necessary, appropriate or desirable to vest in the Company, its successors and assigns, all of the right, title and interest in and to the Assets which are purported to be granted to the Company hereunder by the Transferors or which the Company from time to time deems necessary or desirable to effectuate or evidence the provisions of this Agreement fully, including recordation or perfection of the Company’s title to and security interest in the Assets throughout the Territory (as applicable). The Company shall provide the Transferors with notice when exercising its rights pursuant to this Section 4.9.

Section 4.10. Actions With Respect to the Assets. The Company shall have the exclusive right to take such action as it deems necessary, either in each Transferor’s name, in the Company’s name or in all or some of their names, and, in each instance at the Company’s expense, against any Person to protect all rights and interests in the Assets acquired by the Company hereunder. Each Transferor shall cooperate fully with the Company, at the Company’s expense, in any controversy that may arise or litigation which may be brought concerning the Company’s rights and interests hereunder or in the Assets. From and after the Closing Date, each Transferor shall respect and observe in all of its activities and shall disclose to all lenders or holders of such Transferor’s debt, excluding trade creditors, the conveyance of Assets hereunder to the Company and the fact that such Transferor retains no right, title or interest in or to any of the Assets so conveyed. The Company shall have the right, in its discretion and at the Company’s expense, to employ legal counsel and to institute or defend against any Proceeding, whether for infringement of trademark, copyright or otherwise, and to take any other necessary steps to evidence, perfect, protect and enforce the right, title and interest of the Company in and to each Trademark in the Territory and, in connection therewith, to settle, compromise or in any other manner dispose of any such Proceeding and to satisfy or collect on any judgment which may be rendered.
