               AMENDMENT TO SUBORDINATED SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

            This AMENDMENT TO SUBORDINATED SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE (the
"AMENDMENT") dated as of January 24, 2006 (the "AMENDMENT EFFECTIVE DATE") is
entered into by and among E Com Ventures, Inc., a Florida corporation, with
headquarters located at 251 International Parkway, Sunrise, Florida 33325 (the

"Holder of Convertible Note".

      WHEREAS:

      A. The Company issued to the Holder a Subordinated Secured Convertible
Note on December 9, 2004 and

      B. The Company desires to extend the due date of the Note and the Holder
has agreed to such extension indicating that some consideration for the
extension may be requested by the Holder at some future date. The granting of
any such consideration would be at the sole discretion of the E Com Ventures,
Inc. Board of Directors.

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.    AMENDMENT TO CONVERTIBLE NOTES.

      The Company and the Holder of the Subordinated Secured Convertible Note
agree that the Maturity Date of the outstanding Subordinated Secured Convertible
Note is hereby extended to January 29, 2009. Further, the Company and the Holder
agree that the term "Maturity Date" in the outstanding Subordinated Secured

the date "January 29, 2009".

2.    MISCELLANEOUS.

      This Amendment may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all
of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due
execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force
and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.


            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Holder and the Company have caused this
Amendment to Convertible Note to be duly executed as of the Amendment Effective
Date.
