1. Restricted Use of Revolving Loans. From and after the date hereof, Revolving Loans shall no longer be available to Borrowers for Capital Expenditures.

2. Permitted Out-of Formula Amount.

(a) During the period commencing on the date the proceeds of the New Financing (as defined below) are applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans through and including May 31, 2003 only, in addition to the sums otherwise available to Borrowers as Revolving Loans supported by the Borrowing Base, Borrowers may borrow an additional amount equal to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) (the “Permitted Out-of-Formula Amount”) as Revolving Loans.

(b) Commencing on June 1, 2003 and at all times thereafter, no Permitted Out-of-Formula Amount shall be available to Borrowers.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, in no event will the sum of the (i) Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit supported by the Borrowing Base, plus (ii)Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit supported by the applicable Permitted Out-of-Formula Amount, exceed the Maximum Revolving Credit, less any Reserves.

3. New Financing.

(a) On or before the date hereof, Borrowers shall close under and receive the proceeds of a financing (the “New Financing”) from a source other than Lender, which New Financing shall provide net cash to Borrowers in an amount equal to Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00). All of the

proceeds of the New Financing shall be used by Borrowers on the date received to pay a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans.

(b) The New Financing shall not be secured by any assets of any Borrowers and the party extending the New Financing must enter into a letter agreement regarding the subordination of the New Financing, in form and content as shall be satisfactory to Lender (the “Letter”). In addition to the foregoing, the New Financing must otherwise be on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender.

4. Audits and Examinations. Section 5 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following section:

“5.9A Field Examinations. From time to time, as requested by Lender, but in not event less than four (4) times per calendar year, Borrowers shall provide Lender, or its designee, complete access to the Collateral and all of Borrowers’ facilities, books and records for the purpose of conducting audits or examinations of such Collateral, facilities, books and records as Lender or its designees may deem necessary. Borrowers agree to cooperate with Lender with respect to any such audits or examinations conducted by Lender or its designee pursuant to this Section 5.9A. Any such audit or examination conducted shall be at Borrowers’ cost and expense.”

5. Interest.

(a) Interest on Revolving Loans. Section 10.5(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“10.5 Interest/Fees:

(a) For each fiscal quarter of Borrowers following a fiscal quarter during which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 1.75 to 1.0, the Applicable Percentage for purposes of calculating the applicable interest rate for any day for any Revolving Loan during such fiscal quarter shall be determined in accordance with the following chart and based on EBITDA (as defined in Section 6.19 and determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for the 12 month period then ended) on the date the Applicable Percentage is to be determined:

EBITDA	Base Rate Loan		Eurodollar Loan		LIBOR Market Rate Loan
< $4,850,000.00	.90	%	3.00	%	3.00	%
> $4,850,000.00 and < $7,350,000.00	.90	%	2.80	%	2.80	%
> $7,350,000.00	.90	%	2.50	%	2.50	%

For each fiscal quarter of Borrowers following a fiscal quarter during which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was equal to or greater than

1.75 to 1.0, the Applicable Percentage for purposes of calculating the applicable interest rate for any day for any Revolving Loan during such fiscal quarter shall be determined in accordance with the following chart and based on EBITDA (as defined in Section 6.19 and determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for the 12 month period then ended) on the date the Applicable Percentage is to be determined:

EBITDA	Base Rate Loan		Eurodollar Loan		LIBOR Market Rate Loan
< $4,850,000.00	.25	%	2.35	%	2.35	%

Commencing April 1, 2003 and continuing until Lender’s receipt of Borrowers’ Quarterly Statements for the quarter ending April 31, 2003, each Applicable Percentage shall be determined assuming that EBITDA is < $4,850,000.00 and Borrower’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 1.75 to 1.0.”

(b) Interest on Term Loan A and Term Loan B. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of Term Loan A and Term Loan B shall accrue from April 1, 2003 until final payment thereof at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Term Loan LIBOR Market Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan Margin. As used herein, “Term Loan LIBOR Market Rate” means the rate for one month U.S. dollar deposits as reported on Telerate Page 3750 (or any successor page) as of 11:00 a.m. London Time, on such day, or if such day is not a London business day, then the immediately preceding London business day (or if not so reported, then as determined by Lender from another recognized source or interbank quotation). As used herein, “Applicable Term Loan Margin” means, (i) 340 basis points, for each fiscal quarter of Borrowers following a fiscal quarter during which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 1.75 to 1.0 and (ii) 275 basis points, for each fiscal quarter of Borrowers following a fiscal quarter during which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was equal to or greater than 1.75 to 1.0. The Applicable Term Loan Margin will be 340 basis points until Lender receives Borrower’s Quarterly Statements for the quarter ending April 31, 2003, at which time the Applicable Term Loan Margin shall be adjusted accordingly.

6. Daily/Weekly Financial Reporting.

(a) In addition to all other information required to be delivered under the Loan Agreement, Borrowers shall, at their expense, deliver to Lender, in form acceptable to Lender, on a weekly basis: (i) true and complete agings of their respective accounts receivable and accounts payable, identifying all Eligible Accounts; and (ii) inventory reports, including an identification of all Eligible Inventory, the location of all inventory; and information as to all inventory in excess of a 12 months’ supply and as to out-of-season inventory.

(b) Section 6.10(d) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(d) Borrowers shall, at their own expense, on a daily basis, deliver to Lender a borrowing base certificate in substantially the form of Schedule C hereto duly completed and certified by Borrowers’ chief executive officer or chief financial officer, detailing daily updates of Borrowers’ Eligible Accounts and weekly updates of Borrower’s Eligible Inventory (on Monday of each week) and containing, without limitation, daily sales, cash receipts, credits and other adjustments.

Re: Third Amendment to that certain Loan Agreement by and between Wachovia Bank, National Association, formerly known as First Union National Bank (“Lender”), Sherwood Brands of Virginia, LLC, Sherwood Brands, LLC, Sherwood Brands of RI, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Acquisition Corporation, (collectively, the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”) and Sherwood Brands, Inc. (“Guarantor”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter, when executed by the parties hereto where indicated below, shall constitute the agreement among Lender, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Creditor”), Borrowers and Guarantor concerning the matters contained herein.

Lender, Borrowers and Guarantor are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated June 12, 2001 (as amended by that certain First Amendment and Modification to Loan and Security Agreement dated April 30, 2002, that certain Second Amendment and Modification to Loan and Security Agreement dated September 5, 2002 and as the same may be further amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). On the date hereof, Lender, Borrowers, and Guarantor are further amending the Loan Agreement in accordance with that certain Third Amendment and Modification to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which, inter alia, Lender agreed to extend to Borrower the Permitted Out-of-Formula Amount. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given such terms in the Amendment.

In connection with the execution of the Amendment and for so long as the Permitted Out-of-Formula Advance is available to Borrowers or any sums are owing that constitute a Permitted Out-of-Formula Advance, Borrowers, Guarantor and Creditor agree that (a) all sums advanced to any Borrower or Guarantor by Creditor, whether currently outstanding or hereafter advanced, and all claims and demands arising therefrom (the “Subordinated Debt”) shall be subordinate to all liabilities and obligations of any nature of any Borrower of Guarantor to Lender, now or at any time hereafter existing contracted or incurred, and all claims and demands arising therefrom (the “Senior Debt”); (b) neither Guarantor nor any Borrower will make, and Creditor will not demand or accept, either directly or indirectly, payment (of any kind or character) of all or any part of the Subordinated Debt without the prior written consent of Lender; and (c) Creditor will not exercise any of her rights or remedies with regard to the Subordinated Debt, including, but not limited to, demand or acceleration of any of the Subordinated Debt and the institution of court proceedings against any Borrower or Guarantor to collect any Subordinated Debt. Creditor further represents to Lender that the Subordinated Debt is unsecured and hereby agrees that the Subordinated Debt shall remain unsecured for so long as any Senior Debt

remains outstanding or Lender has any agreement or understanding with any Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to which Lender may extend credit to any Borrower or Guarantor.

Intending to be legally bound hereby and in order to induce Lender to enter into the Amendment, the parties hereto agree to the provisions of this letter agreement.
