As a result of the Amendment, among other things:
| · | The license period has been extended until December 31, 2031, subject to certain rights of MGI to extend for an additional five years upon satisfaction of specified conditions. |
| · | The royalty rates have been revised and MGI agreed to pay a one-time fee in light of the 100th anniversary of the Hugo Boss brand. |
| · | Sales minima and minimum marketing and advertising expenditures have been revised for years 2024 through 2026 and established for years 2027 through 2031. |
| · | New pricing has been established for sales by MGI to the Licensor and its affiliates. |
| · | The parties acknowledge that a payment made by MGI to the Licensor in August 2023 constituted full compensation for inadvertent overcharges in previous sales by MGI to certain Licensor affiliates. |

The other material provisions of the License Agreement remain substantially unchanged.
