Re: Waiver and Amendment
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as
of May 12, 2000 by and among PERFUMANIA, INC., MAGNIFIQUE PARFUMES AND
COSMETICS, INC., PERFUMANIA PUERTO RICO, INC. and TEN KESEF II, INC., (each
individually, a "Borrower" and collectively, the "Borrowers") and GMAC
COMMERCIAL FINANCE LLC, as successor by merger with GMAC Commercial Credit LLC
("Lender") (as so amended and as the same now exists or may hereafter be
amended, restated, renewed, replaced, substituted, supplemented, extended, or
otherwise modified, the "Credit Agreement") and all of the notes, guarantees,
mortgages, instruments, agreements and other documents executed and/or delivered
in connection therewith (all of the foregoing, together with the Credit
Agreement, as the same may now exist, or may hereafter be amended, restated,
renewed, extended, supplemented, substituted, or otherwise modified, the "Loan
Agreements"). All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
Borrowers have requested that Lender amend certain provisions of the Loan
Agreements and waive certain Events of Default which have occurred and are
continuing under the Loan Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, Lender has agreed to make such amendments and to grant such
waivers.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this agreement and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
2. Waivers. Borrowers hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that Borrowers
have failed to comply with certain terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement
for the quarterly period ending on January 31, 2004, including, without
limitation, (a) Borrowers' failure to comply with Section 6.5 of the Credit
Agreement (Tangible Net Worth), (b) Borrowers' failure to comply with Section
6.6 of the Credit Agreement (Fixed Charge Ratio), (c) Borrowers' failure to
comply with Section 6.7 of the Credit Agreement (Leverage Ratio) and (d)
Borrowers' failure to comply with Section 7.6. of the Credit Agreement (Capital
Expenditures). As a result of such noncompliance, Events of Default have
occurred and are continuing under Article X (Events of Default) of the Credit
Agreement (the "Subject Events of Default"). Borrowers have requested Lender to
irrevocably waive the Subject Events of Default, and Lender has agreed to, and
hereby does, irrevocably waive such Subject Events of Default subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, that, Lender hereby reserves
all rights and remedies granted to Lender under the Credit Agreement, the Loan
Agreements, applicable law or otherwise, and nothing contained herein shall be
construed to limit, impair or otherwise affect the right of Lender to declare a
default or an Event of Default with respect to any future non-compliance with
any covenant, term of provision of the Credit Agreement, the Loan Agreements or
any other document now or hereafter executed and delivered in connection
therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall, or
shall be deemed to waive any default or Event of Default that Borrowers have
failed to disclose to Lender as of the date hereof.
3. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby
amended as follows:
(a) As used herein, the following term shall have the meaning given
to it below and the Credit Agreement and the Loan Agreements are hereby amended
to include, in addition and not in limitation, the following definition:
""Borrowers on a Consolidated Basis" except to the extent
limited in this definition, shall mean the consolidation in
accordance with GAAP of the accounts or other items of
Borrowers. Presentations of financial information for the
Borrowers on a Consolidated Basis shall be consolidated
from the applicable audited or unaudited consolidating
financial statements of E-Com Ventures, Inc. Financial
information shall not include footnote disclosure required
by GAAP with respect to the Borrowers on a Consolidated
Basis, but shall be deemed to include the footnote
disclosure contained in E-Com Ventures, Inc.'s related
audited or unaudited financial statements as it relates to
such disclosure related to Borrowers on a Consolidated
Basis."

expenditures to (b) the sum of (i) the interest expense
(including all imputed interest on capital lease
obligations of Borrowers) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of
all scheduled debt repayments (including all imputed
principal payments on capital lease obligations of
Borrowers but excluding all Revolving Advances) plus (iii)

quarter."
