Stock Option PlanSTOCK OPTION PLAN In May 1996, the Company adopted a stock option plan for employees, officers, directors and consultants (the "Plan"), which provides for the grant to employees, officers, directors and consultants of options intended to purchase up to 1,786,930 shares of Common Stock, consisting of bothqualify as "incentive stock options" and "non-qualified stock options" within the meaning of Section 422A422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and "non-qualified" options.. Incentive stock options are issuable only to eligible officers and key employees of the Company, whileand non-qualified options may be issuedgranted to non-employeeofficers, employees, directors consultants and others, as well as to employees of the Company.consultants. The Plan is administered by at least three members of the Board of Directors (atat least two of whom are independent),not executive officers or salaried employees of the Company. Under the Plan, the Board of Directors determines which determines those individuals who shall receive options, the time period during which the options may be partially or fully exercised, vesting periods required for issuance of options, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under each option and the option price. Each option granted under the Plan is evidenced by stock option agreement. The per share exercise price of the Common Stock subject to an incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The per share exercise price of the Common Stock subject to a non-qualified option is established by the Board of Directors. The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date the option is granted) of the Common Stock that any employee may purchase in any calendar year pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options may not exceed $100,000. No person who owns, directly or indirectly, at the time of the granting of an incentive stock option to him, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company is eligible to receive any incentive stock options under the Plan unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option, determined on the date of grant. Non-qualified options are not subject to these limitations. -5- No incentive stock option may be transferred by an optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of an optionee, the option will be exercisable only by him or her. In the event of termination of employment other than by death or disability, the optionee will have three months after such termination during which he or she can exercise the option. Upon termination of employment of an optionee by reason of death or permanent total disability, his or her option remains exercisable for 12 months thereafter to the extent it was exercisable on the date of such termination. No similar limitation applies to non-qualified options. Options under the Plan must be granted within ten years from the effective date of the Plan. The incentive stock options granted under the Plan cannot be exercised more than ten years from the date of grant except that incentive stock options issued to 10% or greater stockholders are limited to five year terms. All options granted under the Plan provide for the payment of the exercise price in cash or by delivery to the Company of shares of Common Stock already owned by the optionee having a fair market value equal to the exercise price of the 6 options being exercised, or by a combination of such methods of payment. Therefore, an optionee may be able to tender shares of Common Stock to purchase additional shares of Common Stock and may theoretically exercise all of his stock options with no additional investment other than his original shares. Any unexercised options that expire or that terminate upon an optionee ceasing to be an officer, director or an employee of the Company become available once again for issuance. As of the date hereof, 1,701,635 options have been granted under the Plan to officers, directors and employees including 1,477,205 options granted to Messrs. Vukadinovic and Silberman, an aggregate of 71,478The following table sets forth all stock options granted to the Company's three non-employeeexecutive officers and directors and 152,952 options granted to other employees. The per share exercise prices range from $0.63 to $6.25, which prices represented at least the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the respective dates the options were granted, based on prior sales of the Company's Common Stock. The table below sets for the total number of options issued to each executive officer and director of the Company and the exercise price. Messrs.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS In April 1996 the Company executed a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Vukadinovic, its Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Silberman, its Chief Financial Officer, providing for annual salaries of $95,000 and $60,000, respectively. In connection with their employment, Messrs. Vukadinovic and Silberman received options under the Plan to purchase 1,191,300 shares and 119,128 shares, respectively, of the Company's Common Stock. Mr. Silberman also received 81,007 shares of Common Stock for services rendered valued at $0.42 per share on the date of grant, or an aggregate value on such date of $34,000. At December 31, 1997,1999, Mr. Vukadinovic was indebted to the Company in the amount of $288,496.27$300,160 advanced by the Company under a credit facility granted to Mr. Vukadinovic in the maximum amount of $350,000 and evidenced by three promissory notes. The three promissory notes are unsecured; bear no interest at 10% per annum and are due on demand. Until December 31, 1996,The sums advanced to Mr. Vukadinovic was a 22.5% stockholder in Easy Concepts, Inc. ("ECI"), an apparel customer of the Company. At December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997, ECI was indebted to the Company for apparel purchases on open account in the amounts of $1,182,202 and $218,457, respectively. On January 1, 1997 Mr. Vukadinovic returned all of his ECI stock to ECI for no consideration. He elected to do so because he had received his ECI stock for nominal consideration in the form of services rendered and he wanted to eliminate any potential for conflict of interest causedwere primarily used by his ECI stockholdings. He was never an officer or director of ECI and ECI is no longer a customer of the Company. At December 31, 1997, ECI's indebtedness to the Company was $218,457. The amount relates to apparel purchased through February 1997 and is therefore more than 180 days past due. As the indebtedness was incurred on open account for apparel purchases, the amount is not evidenced by a promissory note, no interest 7 has been charged and there is no maturity date for full payment. However, the Company believed that ECI would pay off the remaining amount due by December 1997 and if it failed to do so, the Company was prepared to take such legal action as was necessary to enforce its claim against ECI. At December 31, 1997, ECI had $106,000 worth of pants at cost in the PII warehouse. The market value of the pants is estimated to be $150,000, and it is ECI's intention to sell those goodshim to pay indebtedness to the Company. To reflect the partial potential uncollectibilitycertain medical and related expenses of ECI's indebtedness, the Company elected to take an allowance of $83,000.a family member. -6- The Company believes that the goods will be sold by June 30, 1998 and the proceeds will be paid to the Company in their entirety. The Company usesused a portion of a consolidating warehouse in Astoria, New York for short-termshort- term storage and for consolidating services in connection with finished goods imported from Macedonia pending pick up by the Company's customers. Positive Influence, Inc. ("PII"), the owner of the warehouse and the provider of the consolidating services, is a non-affiliated former customer of the Company which was indebted to the Company in the amount of $115,210$86,851 at December 31, 19971998 for goods previously purchased from the Company. The Company is charged an average of approximately $10,000 per month for use of the warehouse and for consolidating services provided by PII, which amount is deducted from the amount owed by PII to the Company. PII also provides Easy Concepts, Inc. ("ECI"), a former affiliate of the Company, with warehouse space and consolidating services. Charges due from ECI to PII arewere also deducted from the amount owed by PII to the Company and ECI payspaid such amounts directly to the Company. Consolidating services involveinvolved accepting finished goods shipments, combining the goods into larger quantities for pickup by, or delivery to, customers and storage of the goods prior to customer acceptance. In July 1997,1998, Mr. Vukadinovic personally guaranteed the Company's line of credit with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services Inc. in the amount of $500,000. In November 1997, the line of credit was increasedImperial Bank up to a maximum amount of $1,500,000.$3,000,000.
