Dahan will serve as Creative Director for the Joe&#x2019;s&#174; and Joe&#x2019;s Jeans&#x2122; Brand (as defined above).  <br>	<br>The term of employment is for 10 years.  Under the employment agreement, Dahan will be entitled to a minimum annual salary of $950,000, which will be credited against the following additional annual salary calculation amounts:  (1) 7% of Gross Profit up to $22,500,000; plus (2) an additional 3% of Gross Profit of any dollar amount within the next $9,000,000 of Gross Profit above $22,500,000 in Gross Profit; plus (3) an additional 2% of Gross Profit of any dollar amount within the next $9,000,000 of Gross Profit above $31,500,000 in Gross Profit; plus (4) an additional 1% of Gross Profit of any dollar amount of Gross Profit above $40,500,000 of Gross Profit.  "Gross Profit" is defined as net sales of the Brand less cost of goods sold as reported in the Company&#x2019;s periodic filings with the SEC.  <br><br>Under the terms of the employment agreement, the Company may terminate Dahan for Cause or if he becomes Disabled.

"Disability" is defined as inability to perform his duties for 180 consecutive days or shorter periods aggregating 270 days during any 12 month period.  Should the Company terminate Dahan&#x2019;s employment for Cause or Disability, the Company will only be required to pay him through the date of termination.  The Company may terminate Dahan&#x2019;s employment without cause at any time upon two weeks notice, provided that they pay to him the present value of the minimum and additional annual salary amounts otherwise due to him for the remainder of the term of employment.  Dahan may terminate his employment for Good Reason at any time within 30 days written notice.  "Good Reason" is defined as (i) a material breach of the employment agreement by the Company that is not cured within 30 days of written notice; or (ii) Dahan&#x2019;s decision to terminate employment at any time after 18 months following a Change in Control.

Further, Dahan may terminate his employment for any reason upon ten business days&#x2019; notice and only be entitled to his minimum and additional annual salary amounts on a pro rata basis as of the date of termination.<br><br>The employment agreement contains customary terms and conditions related to confidentiality of information, ownership by the Company of all intellectual property, including future designs and trademarks, alternative dispute resolution and Dahan&#x2019;s duties and responsibilities to the Company and the Brand as Creative Director.  <br><br>The description of the above-referenced employment agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the document, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A to be filed by the Company. <br><br>Investor Rights Agreement<br><br>In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company has also agreed to enter into an investor rights agreement upon the closing of the Merger.  Pursuant to the investor rights agreement, the Company has agreed to register for resale, on a periodic basis at the request of Dahan, the shares of common stock eligible for resale by Dahan issued in connection with the Merger.
