This Investment Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of August 26, 2017 is between and among MJA Beauty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("NewHoldCo"), each of the individual Members of NewHoldCo whose names appear on the signature page hereof, and Perfumania Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Perfumania"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan, as defined below.
WHEREAS, NewHoldCo is the beneficial owner of 8,362,032 outstanding shares of common stock of Perfumania (the "NewHoldCo Shares") which constitutes approximately 53.97% of the total outstanding shares of Perfumania;
WHEREAS, Perfumania, together with certain of its subsidiaries, contemplates filing a bankruptcy case under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"), pursuant to which Perfumania will seek to have the Plan of Reorganization attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Plan") confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and emerge as a reorganized company ("Reorganized Perfumania" or the "Company");
WHEREAS, the Plan provides, among other things, for the cancellation of all outstanding common shares of Perfumania for no consideration, and the distribution to former holders of such common stock, other than NewHoldCo, who execute the release described in the Plan (each a "Stockholder Release") the sum of two dollars ($2.00) in cash for each share of Perfumania owned by such holders of common stock (in the aggregate, the "Releasing Stockholder Consideration");
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NewHoldCo will invest $14,263,460 (the "Purchase Price") to acquire 100% of the capital stock of Reorganized Perfumania.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual promises contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

On the Effective Date of the Plan and at the closing (the "Closing"), NewHoldCo shall purchase from Reorganized Perfumania and Reorganized Perfumania shall sell to NewHoldCo 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Reorganized Perfumania (the "Stock"), constituting all of the authorized, issued and outstanding shares of Reorganized Perfumania, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever.
2.          Purchase Price.
At the Closing, NewHoldCo shall cause to be wired to an account designated by Perfumania, $14,263,460 representing the Purchase Price for the Stock which shall be used by Reorganized Perfumania to make distributions of the Releasing Stockholder Consideration to former stockholders of Perfumania (other than NewHoldCo) who execute a Stockholder Release


and, to the extent not all former stockholders execute the Stockholder Release, for general corporate purposes.
3.          Condition to the Investment.
The obligation of NewHoldCo to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the following conditions precedent: (a) the Plan shall have been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court no later than October 31, 2017, pursuant to a confirmation order satisfactory in all material respects to NewHoldCo and Perfumania; (b) upon such confirmation of the Plan, there shall have been no material changes to the Plan except such changes as may have been consented to by both NewHoldCo and Perfumania; and (c) the Exit Facility described in the Plan shall have been executed, become effective and be ready to be funded simultaneously with the funding by NewHoldCo of the Purchase Price.
