The exclusive Remy Martin "Unpredictable" album release parties will give audiences in major cities an opportunity to experience Foxx's soulful stylings and Remy Martin's sophisticated elegance.

"Jamie has stepped up the ladder of success. From music and movies to television and comedy and especially philanthropy, he has truly touched the lives of so many," said Steve Hissam, Category Director for Remy Martin. We are pleased to celebrate him and support his endeavors with the Remy Martin brand that represents achievement and success for individuals and their communities."

Earlier this year, Remy Martin helped to support Foxx's community-based philanthropic efforts and was a sponsor of the 2005 Laffapalooza Urban Comedy Festival, co-hosted and produced by Foxx. The annual festival celebrates young comedians and promotes the diversity of urban comedy. A portion of the proceeds from Laffapalooza benefit the "Learn Through Laughter" charity foundation.

Remy Martin and Foxx also teamed up this fall to support relief efforts benefiting Gulf Coast residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Against the backdrop of a Foxx charity auction in Miami, Remy Martin announced a donation of $25,000 to the American Red Cross, which was matched by Foxx.

Remy Martin will continue to get involved in additional community related events with Foxx in 2006.
