                         TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT
                    RELATING TO BOSS GOLF AND OTHER MARKS

     THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT is entered into and is effective as of the 5th 
day of November, 1997, by and between I.C. Isaacs & Company L.P. ("Licensor") 
and Ambra Inc. ("Licensee") (each a "Party" and collectively the "Parties").

                               R E C I T A L S

     WHEREAS, Licensor is the successor in interest of Brookhurst, Inc. to 
certain trademark rights in the United States of America, including the 
trademarks listed on Exhibit A hereto (each individually a "Licensed 
Trademark" and collectively the "Licensed Trademarks"); and

     WHEREAS, Licensee desires to obtain a license to manufacture, cause to 
be manufactured, market, distribute and sell products bearing the Licensed 
Trademarks throughout the world (the "Territory");

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants 
herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the 
Parties agree as follows:

1. RIGHTS GRANTED

     1.1  Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee accepts, upon the 
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, a royalty-free exclusive license 
to use, and to cause and permit sublicensees to use (but without any 
obligation to use), the Licensed Trademarks in connection with the 
manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of products identified in the 
trademark applications for the Licensed Trademarks in connection with each 
respective Licensed Trademark (the "Licensed Products") and on labels, 
displays and other materials used in connection with the Licensed Products.

     1.2  Licensee shall have the exclusive right (but not the obligation) in 
the name of Licensor, but at Licensee's sole expense, to direct the 
protection and enforcement of the Licensed Marks, including, without 
limitation, the prosecution with the United States Patent and Trademark 
Office ("USPTO") of those applications for registration which are identified 
in Exhibit A. Licensee shall do so solely at its own discretion, with 
complete freedom to abandon or withdraw any such application as it deems fit, 
and not subject to any dispute by Licensor or review in any arbitration or 
litigation. Licensor shall cooperate with and assist Licensee in protecting 
and defending the Licensed Marks and in all proceedings with the USPTO, 
including, without limitation, by providing any documentation or specimens 
required to prosecute such applications and executing any documents required 
to fulfill the terms of this paragraph 1.2, including execution of Powers of 
Attorney to counsel of Licensee's choice. Without limiting the generality of 
the foregoing, within 30 days of the date hereof, Licensor agrees that it will

    

<PAGE>

   

divide Application No. 74/323,654 to create two new applications therefrom, 
one each for Class 12 and Class 16 and the goods listed in those Classes 
respectively, including without limitation by filing a Request to Divide with 
the PTO. Licensee shall provide Licensor with copies of all documents 
executed or filed by Licensee on Licensor's behalf prior to effecting any 
filing or otherwise using the document, and, in the event there is an urgent 
need to make a filing on behalf of Licensor for which there is reasonably no 
time to provide an advance copy to Licensor, then Licensee shall effect the 
filing and immediately provide a copy to Licensor. Licensor shall promptly 
notify Licensee in writing of any infringements, claims, or actions by others 
in derogation of the Licensed Marks of which Licensor becomes aware; provided 
that Licensor shall have the right to determine whether any action should be 
taken on account of such infringements, claims or actions. Licensor shall not 
take any action on account of any such infringement, claim or action without 
the prior written consent of Licensee. In the event Licensee initiates or 
defends any legal proceedings on account of any infringements, claims or 
actions by others in derogation of the Licensed Marks, Licensor agrees to 
cooperate with and assist Licensee to the extent reasonably necessary to 
protect the Licensed Marks, including, but not limited to, being joined as a 
necessary or desirable party to such proceedings. All actions required by 
Licensee of Licensor pursuant to this paragraph shall be at Licensee's cost, 
and Licensee shall bear all risks and liabilities associated with the efforts 
it has taken or failed to take with respect to the protection or maintenance 
of the Licensed Marks, including with respect to the abandonment of any 
application for a Licensed Mark. Licensor will have no claim for damages or 
other relief nor shall seek damages or any other relief against Licensee for 
any actions (or inaction) undertaken in accordance with this paragraph.

     1.3  As and when each application for a Licensed Trademark matures to 
registration, Licensor agrees to assign to Licensee any and all right, title 
and interest of Licensor in and to said Licensed Trademark, together with the 
goodwill associated therewith. Licensor shall execute and deliver to 
Licensee an executed trademark assignment in the form attached hereto as 
Exhibit B within thirty (30) days after Licensee has provided Licensor with a 
copy of the registration certificate for said Licensed Trademark.

     1.4  The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in any event, to the extent 
any Licensed Trademark is not assigned to Licensee pursuant to Section 1.3 
above, such Licensed Trademarks remain the subject of an Option Agreement by 
and between Licensor and Licensee of even date herewith.

     1.5  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Licensee, 
and Licensor agree and acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement is 
intended to prejudice, limit, curtail, or modify in any way any rights 
granted to Licensor and Licensee, respectively, under the Foreign Boss Rights 
Acquisition Agreement between the parties dated September 30, 1997 or the 
Concurrent Use Agreement, the Secured Limited Recourse Promissory Note and 
Option Agreement between the parties (or related parties) of even date 
herewith. All use by Licensee, a related party or any party taking under 
Licensee of any Licensed Trademark shall be subject to the restrictions 
imposed on Licensee and/or any related party under the Concurrent Use

    

                                     -2-

Agreement, and the Licensed Trademarks shall be considered "Hugo Boss Marks" 
under the Concurrent Use Agreement.

2.  OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

     2.1  Licensee agrees that all Licensed Products manufactured hereunder 
shall be at least equivalent in terms of quality to products previously 
manufactured by or for Licensee. Licensee shall permit reasonable inspection 
by Licensor of the Licensed Products manufactured, marketed, distributed 
and/or sold by Licensee.

     2.2  Licensee agrees that it shall comply with all applicable labeling 
and other laws affecting the manufacture, storage, shipment, labeling and 
sale of the Licensed Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and at 
all times to conduct its activities under this Agreement in a lawful manner.

3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     3.1  Licensor represents and warrants that it has full corporate right, 
power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of its

Licensed Products in the Territory and that it shall grant no such other 
license.

authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations

forth in Section 1.2), and Licensor shall have no power to obligate or bind 
Licensee.

written notice to the breaching party, specifying the material breach, with 
the breaching party having that period in which to cure its breach. The 
rights and obligations under this Agreement (except for the indemnification 
obligations hereunder which shall survive for three (3) years after 
termination) shall automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) 
the assignment to Licensee pursuant to Section 1.3 above and/or the 
withdrawal or abandonment of applications for all of the Licensed Trademarks

out of (i) any claims brought by any third party relating to any products 
manufactured, sold or distributed by Licensee, its affiliates or any 
licensee thereof ("Licensee Party"), and (ii) any breach of the terms of this

Licensee Party as a result of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
