September 15, 2004
PEI Holdings, Inc.
680 North Lakeshore Drive
Chicago, Illinois 60611
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as
of March 11, 2003, among PEI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Borrower"), the financial institutions from time to time a party thereto
("Lenders"), and Bank of America, N.A., as Agent for the Lenders ("Agent") (as
amended to date, the "Credit Agreement"). Unless otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings provided to such terms in
the Credit Agreement.
Borrower has requested that Lenders agree to amend the Credit
Agreement in certain respects and Lenders have agreed to such amendments, on the
terms, and subject to the conditions, contained herein.
Therefore, Borrower and Lenders hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendment. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 3 hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated as
set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
(b) The definitions of the terms "Applicable Rate", "Liquidity Test"
and "Maturity Date" contained in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement are
amended and restated as follows:
"Applicable Rate" means, from time to time, the following
percentages per annum, based upon Playboy's Adjusted EBITDA (the
"Financial Covenant") as set forth in the most recent quarterly Compliance
Certificate received by Agent pursuant to Section 6.02(b):
Applicable Rate
IBOR Committed Base Rate

The Applicable Margin will be in effect from the first day of the

(an "Adjustment Date") until the first day of the month following the
delivery date of the next quarterly Compliance Certificate. The Applicable
Rate in effect from September 1, 2004 through November 5, 2004 shall be
determined based upon Pricing Level 3. If no Compliance Certificate is
delivered when due in accordance with Section 6.02(b), the then-applicable
Pricing Level will remain in effect until actual delivery of such
Compliance Certificate, at which time the Pricing Level will be adjusted
retroactive to the applicable Adjustment Date.
"Liquidity Test" means that, after giving effect to the payment
subject to the Liquidity Test, the sum of (i) cash and Cash Equivalents of
Playboy and its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries at such time and (ii) the
amount of Available Revolver at such time, exceed $10,000,000.
"Maturity Date" means September 1, 2007.
(c) Section 6.09(c) of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting
the amount "Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000)" and replacing it with the amount
"Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)".
(d) Section 7.08 of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting
clause (d) thereof and replacing it with the following phrase "(d) optional
prepayments in respect of the Senior Secured Note Debt at any time after April
11, 2006, so long as (i) no Event of Default is in existence at the time of such
payment and (ii) after making such payment, Borrower has satisfied the Liquidity
Test."
2. Scope. Except as amended hereby, the Credit Agreement remains
unchanged and in full force and effect.

4. Counterparts. This Second Amendment to Credit Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which taken together shall be one and the same instrument.

GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
