The Liz&Co. and Concepts by Claiborne brands, launched at JCPenney in 2007, have consistently been among JCPenney's strongest exclusive brand performers, reflecting the enormous appeal of the Liz Claiborne brand to the JCPenney customer. This milestone, strategic agreement substantially expands this highly successful partnership by launching full lifestyle collections under both the Liz Claiborne and Claiborne brand names, available in JCPenney stores, catalog and on jcp.com beginning in Fall 2010.

With this agreement, all Liz Claiborne merchandise at JCPenney - which will include approximately 30 merchandise categories - will now be sold in JCPenney's highly affordable better/best pricing category. Liz Claiborne Inc. will lead the design process, JCPenney will be responsible for sourcing, production, marketing and distribution and they will together merchandise the brand.

Additional highlights of the JCPenney agreement include:

    --  The agreement has a term of up to 10 years beginning in August 2010. At
        the end of year five, after certain consents have been obtained,
        JCPenney will have the option to acquire the licensed trademarks and
        other Liz Claiborne brands for use in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
        JCPenney will also have the option to take ownership of the marks in the
        same territory at the end of year 10.

    --  Liz Claiborne Inc. will receive design service fees and royalties as a
        percent of sales plus gross profit sharing with guaranteed minimums.

    --  The merchandise will be sourced by JCPenney's well established sourcing
        organization to leverage a long history of supplier relationships and
        leading edge, proprietary technology and processes.

    --  The launch of Liz Claiborne and Claiborne will include a full range of
        apparel for women and men, as well as accessories, shoes and home.

    --  Liz Claiborne Inc. retains the rights to market and distribute the Liz
        Claiborne, Liz & Co., Claiborne and Concepts by Claiborne labels outside
        of the U.S.

Commenting on the JCPenney strategic partnership, Liz Claiborne Inc. chief executive officer William L. McComb said: "There are few brands, across the American landscape, with the history, cultural significance, and consumer credentials as the Liz Claiborne brand. Today, we've taken bold steps that honor this amazing heritage. After two very successful years partnering with JCPenney, we decided it was time to take it to the next level. The commitment, the connection to the consumer and the brand stewardship JCPenney has brought to the table have been nothing short of outstanding. I have often talked about the need for strategies that allow companies to 'win with the winners' and this strategic alliance with JCPenney turns those words into action. By simplifying our model and working with them as our exclusive department store partner, we can reach the consumer and profitably manage the future of this iconic brand."

Myron E. (Mike) Ullman, III, chairman and chief executive officer of JCPenney said: "Liz Claiborne is one of the most recognized brands in the history of American apparel retailing with a deeply loyal following, and our research shows that it is among the most desired by the JCPenney customer. In capitalizing on each of our strengths, this agreement brings huge benefits to both companies by giving our customers a substantially expanded Liz Claiborne offering at a more accessible price point than ever before."

Under the agreement, Isaac Mizrahi will design the line of premium apparel, accessories and home products; QVC will merchandise and source the product, with Liz Claiborne Inc. providing brand management oversight. Liz Claiborne New York will exit the department store channel completely after Holiday 2009.

Additional highlights of the QVC deal include:

        Mizrahi as creative director on any apparel, accessories, or home
        categories in their U.S. and international markets.

        quality.

    --  The multi-year agreement has renewal rights.

    --  Liz Claiborne Inc. receives royalty on net sales.

Regarding the move to QVC, Mr. McComb said: "In order for us to fully capitalize on the Liz Claiborne New York brand's vast equity with consumers, we needed to find a more productive distribution strategy. Given QVC's rich, brand-enhancing selling environment and its extremely consumer-centric culture, as well as its recent announcement to support the launch of the comprehensive lifestyle collection IsaacMizrahiLive!(TM), QVC is ideal for Liz Claiborne New York. I am excited to think that Isaac Mizrahi and Liz Claiborne New York will play a major role at QVC as they become one of the great success stories of the next decade."

Isaac Mizrahi said: "The opportunities for the Liz Claiborne New York brand inherent in this new distribution strategy with QVC are thrilling for me. It affords us the ability to elevate the brand and effectively balance the collection so that we are able to maximize its sales potential. It is exciting for me to link my relationship with Liz Claiborne and my relationship with QVC, together we will revolutionize the way a brand builds and provides a direct voice to the customer."

Commenting on this agreement, QVC's president and CEO Mike George said: "We're thrilled to collaborate with the Liz Claiborne organization to celebrate and reignite the heritage of this incredible fashion story in an entirely fresh, new retail environment. This iconic fashion brand, powered by the brilliant design talent of Isaac Mizrahi, presented through QVC's immersive multimedia experience - for anyone who loves to shop, it's an exciting glimpse at the future of retailing."
