Liabilities and shall tender the Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, the
"Purchase Price" shall be the sum of: (i) the Closing Cash Payment (defined in
subparagraph (b) below); plus (ii) the Indemnity Deposit. The Purchase Price

HUNDRED NINETY FOUR THOUSAND ($169,294,000) minus the Indemnity Deposit. The

and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate signed by the chief financial officer
(or such other Person serving in a similar capacity) of the Seller setting forth
its estimate of the Deemed Closing Date Inventory Value of the Assigned
Inventory (expressed in United States dollars) as of the close of business on
the Closing Date (the "Target Inventory") without giving effect to the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Target
Inventory Statement"). On the Closing Date, the Closing Cash Payment shall be
adjusted as follows: (i) if the amount of the Target Inventory set forth in the
Target Inventory
Statement plus the Deemed Closing Date A/R Value of the Accounts Receivable is
equal to $97,433,000, there shall be no adjustment to the Closing Cash Payment
based on the amount of the Target Inventory and the Accounts Receivable; (ii) if
the amount of the Target Inventory set forth in the Target Inventory Statement
plus the Deemed Closing Date A/R Value of the Accounts Receivable is less than
$97,433,000, the Purchaser shall reduce the Closing Cash Payment (and,
accordingly, the amount paid at Closing) by the amount of such deficiency; (iii)
if the amount of the Target Inventory set forth in the Target Inventory
Statement plus the Deemed Closing Date A/R Value of the Accounts Receivable is
greater than $97,433,000 but less than or equal to $101,592,000, the Purchaser
shall increase the Closing Cash Payment (and, accordingly, the amount paid at
Closing) by the amount of such excess up to an amount equal to $4,159,000; and
(iv) if the amount of the Target Inventory set forth in the Target Inventory
Statement plus the Deemed Closing Date A/R Value of the Accounts Receivable is
greater than $101,592,000, the Seller shall retain the Retained Receivables
pursuant to Section 1.7 below. If the Target Inventory exceeds $46,039,000, it
shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 1.6(a) to equal $46,039,000
notwithstanding such excess. The Seller shall cause there to be sufficient
Inventory as of the Closing Date so that the Deemed Closing Date Inventory Value
is at least $36,039,000."
1.5 Section 1.6(d) of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be
amended by replacing all references to the number "$43,650,000" with the number
"$46,039,000".

replacing it with "[Intentionally omitted.]".

Asset Purchase Agreement to read as follows:

Closing Date, the Seller shall in good faith prepare, or cause to be prepared,
and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer
(or such other Person serving in a similar capacity) of the Seller setting forth
a reconciliation between the Deemed Closing Date A/R Value of the Assigned
Receivables and the Deemed Closing Date A/R Value of the Assigned Receivables
less the amount of "A&P" (which pertains solely to co-op advertising and other
similar promotional items that are generally dilutive to such Assigned
Receivables and which shall be determined on the same basis as "A&P" is
determined in the Financial Statements) as of the Closing Date that are
deductible from the Assigned Receivables (the "A/R Reconciliation"). If the A/R
Reconciliation, as determined by the Seller and the Purchaser, (A) is equal to

Payment) by an amount equal to such excess; and (C) is less than $3,540,000, the
Purchaser shall increase the Purchase Price (and accordingly the Closing Cash
Payment) by the amount of such deficiency."

Agreement which shall read as follows:

and the Closing Cash Payment with respect to the Accounts Receivable or A/R
Reconciliation other than as set forth in this Section 1.7."

("Returns") shall be amended and restated as follows:

each of the Seller and the Foreign Subsidiaries prior to the Closing and
returned to the Purchaser (the "Returned Goods"). For any Returned Goods
returned to the Purchaser after the Closing Date and for which a customer took
an allowance or credit on an Assigned Receivable, no adjustments shall be made.
For any Returned Goods returned to the Purchaser after the Closing Date and for
which a customer took an allowance or a credit on a Retained Receivable, upon
the Purchaser's receipt of such Returned Goods, the Purchaser shall pay the

are generally comparable to those applicable to similarly
situated employees of the Purchaser; provided, that each

Date, other than the Chief Executive Officer of the Seller.

terminate any employee benefit plan of the Purchaser following
the Closing. All employment offers are subject to the
satisfactory completion by the Purchaser of its customary

prevent the Purchaser from terminating the employment of any
Transferred Employee at any time."
