2. Earned Royalties (as defined in Paragraph 2.c. (ii) of the Agreements) due
for calendar year 1997 shall be payable as follows:
(i) Seventy-five percent (75%) of Earned Royalties that are due and
payable for each License Quarter (as defined in Paragraph 1.d. of
the Hong Kong Agreement and Paragraph 1.c. of the PRC Agreement)
shall be remitted to Licensor by Licensee within one hundred five
(105) days after the end of such License Quarter.
(ii) The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of Earned Royalties that are
due and payable for each License Quarter shall be remitted to

remainder of the term under the Agreements.

each License Quarter a breakdown of wholesale sales by month by distributor
to retail stores and counters.
5. Licensee shall submit to Licensor within forty-five (45) business days

Agreements, as amended, shall remain in full force and effect.
