On January 8, 2010, Joe’s Jeans Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Dependable Distributions Centers (“DDC”) to provide warehouse storage and fulfillment services and corporate office space to the Company on a month to month basis.  Under the terms of the agreement with DDC, the Company will pay on a per square foot basis for office and warehouse space along with an hourly billing rate for labor associated with the services provided by DDC.  The agreement may be cancelled by either party upon 30 days’ written notice or if no storage or other services are performed for a period of 180 days.  The agreement contains other customary terms and conditions related to the handling and storage of products, as well as the provision of services under the agreement.  Prior to entering into this agreement, there was no material relationship between the Company and DDC.

 

Purchase Agreement with 405 Mateo Real Estate LLC

 

On January 11, 2010, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with 405 Mateo Real Estate, LLC (the “Seller”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will purchase from the Seller a facility consisting of approximately 83,000 square feet located in downtown Los Angeles and all related leases and contracts (the “Property”) for a purchase price of $6,750,000.00, subject to certain pro-rations and adjustments.  The Company intends to use the Property as its new corporate headquarters and distribution center.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, the Company placed a deposit of $500,000 (the “Deposit”) in an escrow account for a 45-day period (the “Feasibility Period”) while the Company reviews the leases and other written agreements which affect the Property or its operation, environmental reports, title commitment, title survey, tax bills and other due diligence documents relating to the Property and the Seller satisfies various closing conditions specified in the Agreement.  During the Feasibility Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect by written notice to the Seller to terminate the Agreement for any reason or no reason.  Upon such termination, the Company will be entitled to a refund of the Deposit, together with any interest thereon, if any.  Should the Company not provide a termination notice during the Feasibility Period, the balance of the purchase price, net of the Deposit, will be payable to the Seller at the closing of the transaction.  The expected closing date is on or about March 29, 2010.  The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and deliveries.

 

Prior to the execution of the Agreement, there were no material relationships between the Company or any of its affiliates and the Seller.

Effective January 8, 2010, the Company terminated both its warehouse storage and fulfillment services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) and its verbal lease for office space (the “Lease”) with Pixior LLC (“Pixior”).  The Services Agreement provided for warehouse storage and fulfillment services to be provided at a fixed rate per month and the Lease provided for rent to be paid at a fixed rate per month.  The Company terminated the agreement in connection with entering into the warehouse storage and fulfillment agreement as described above with DDC.

 

Pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into among the Company, Joe Dahan, Marc Crossman, Pixior and Yassine Amallal, the Services Agreement was terminated effective January 8, 2010, the Lease was terminated effective upon completion of the move, the parties released all claims or causes of action that they may have against each other, their employees and officers and the Company paid to Pixior a payment of $329,000, subject to adjustment after completion of the final inventory report and move.
