content and accessories. The products and services will be made available at
Phat Farm stores, the Internet and select retail channels.

as part of the Phat Farm overall marketing strategy during the term of the
agreement, January 1, 2003 - December 31, 2005.
"After successful Phat Farm and Motorola programs in 2002, it seems natural
to expand our relationship to continue to design phones that combine the latest
technology with a great sense of fashion appeal for our customers," said Russell
Simmons, founder of Phat Farm.
"We are always looking for new partners with
creditability, expertise in their industry, and that respect the buying power
and the needs of our consumers. We have found a great alliance in
Motorola."
"Mobile phones are intrinsic to the lifestyles of the hip-hop generation, and
no brand does cell phones better than Motorola. The Baby Phat and Motorola
relationship is exciting and will be bringing revolutionary items to market over
the next couple of years," said Kimora Simmons, founder of Baby Phat.
"The Phat brands are clearly identified as leaders in the fashion industry
and the addition of Motorola iDEN handsets and accessories to their fashion
lines will enable customers to further personalize their mobile experience in
ways that reflect their individual styles," said Peter Aloumanis, vice president
& general manager of US Markets Division iDEN Subscriber Group. "
