Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Please see disclosure under Item 5.02 for certain compensation arrangements between Joe’s Jeans Inc. (the "Company") and its officers and directors.





Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) 2004 Stock Incentive Plan

The Company’s Compensation Committee approved form agreements to be entered into by and between the Company and the participants in the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") as approved by the Company’s stockholders on October 11, 2007. The agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Compensation Arrangements

On December 18, 2007, the Company and Hamish Sandhu, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, entered into a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the "RSU Award") whereby the Company granted Mr. Sandhu an award of restricted stock units representing the right to receive 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the "Restricted Stock Units") pursuant to the Plan. The Restricted Stock Units are scheduled to vest every six (6) months over a 4 year period. In conjunction with this award, the Company and Mr. Sandhu agreed to terminate Mr. Sandhu’s employee stock option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the "Stock Option"). The Stock Option was granted to Mr. Sandhu pursuant to the Plan on August 27, 2007. Mr. Sandhu agreed to forfeit the 100,000 shares he was entitled to acquire under the terms of the Stock Option, which was scheduled to vest on a monthly basis over a 2 year period.

Each RSU Award contains certain provisions regarding the terms and conditions of the grant. The RSU Award vests upon the earliest to occur of the participant’s Death, Disability, or separation from service by the Company without Just Cause (as defined below). Death and Disability are defined in the Plan. Upon a separation from service for any other reason (including, without limitation, termination by the Company for Just Cause or by participant for any reason) prior to the date that participant becomes 100% vested in the RSU Award, the unvested units are forfeited immediately. Under the RSU Award, "Just Cause" means (a) a conviction for, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or any other crime which involves fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, or (b) a material breach of any written Company employment policies or rules, including the Company’s code of ethics. Under the terms of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, all unvested awards, including an RSU Award will accelerate and immediately vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control. A form of the agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference and will be executed by each participant, including Mr. Sandhu, that receives a restricted stock unit award.

In addition, on December 21, 2007, Mr. Crossman also entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement that memorialized the terms of his grant of restricted stock that was approved by the Compensation Committee on October 15, 2007, which was reported on the Form 8-K of the Company dated October 17, 2007. The Restricted Stock Agreement is deemed to be effective as of the original date of the grant. A copy of Mr. Crossman’s Restricted Stock Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
