The Merger shall be effective at such time as the Merger Documents are filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in accordance with the MBCL, or at such later time as is specified in such documents (the "Effective Time"). Immediately prior to the filing of the Merger Documents, a closing (the "Closing") will be held at the offices of Palmer & Dodge LLP, One Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts (or such other place as the parties may agree) for the purpose of confirming satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Merger. The Closing shall take place within three business days after the day all of the conditions in Articles 6 and 7 are fulfilled or waived or on such other date as the parties may agree, but not later than July 31, 2000. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the "Closing Date." 1.3 EFFECTS OF THE MERGER. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the MBCL. 1.4 ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION AND BYLAWS. The Articles of Organization and Bylaws of EAC, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Organization and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time. 1.5 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The directors and officers of EAC immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each such officer and director to hold office in accordance with their respective terms. 1.6 CONVERSION OF STOCK. 1.6.1 For purposes of this Agreement, "Merger Consideration" means that number of shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Holdings ("Holdings Common Stock") to be issued pursuant to Section 1.6.2(a), and the "Closing Price" means the average closing price of Holdings Common Stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the Closing (the "Closing Price"). 1.6.2 At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Holdings, Perfumania.com, EAC or Envision: 2 4 (a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 1, each share of Common Stock, without par value, of Envision ("Envision Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for Envision Stock canceled pursuant to Section 1.6.2(b)) shall be converted into and become the right to receive 2.6134 (the "Exchange Ratio") shares of Holdings Common Stock; provided that if the Closing Price is less than $12.00, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $24,000,000 divided by the Closing Price by (ii) 765,298. The Exchange Ratio shall be further adjusted to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transactions (collectively, "Stock Splits").

The exercise price per share of Holdings Common Stock of each former Envision Option shall be equal to the exercise price of each Envision Option as of the Effective Time, divided by the Exchange Ratio. All other terms of the Envision Options shall remain substantially unchanged, including without limitation the vesting schedule for the Envision Options, such that any portion of an Envision Option which has vested shall remain vested; provided, however, that in the case of any Envision Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, the option price, the number of shares subject to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. 1.7.2 As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Holdings or the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to holders of former Envision Options appropriate notices setting forth such holders' rights pursuant to such former Envision Options, as revised pursuant to this Section 1.7. 1.7.3 Holdings shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Holdings Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the options assumed by Holdings in accordance with this Section 1.7. 1.8 CLOSING OF ENVISION'S TRANSFER BOOKS.

The shares of Envision Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (and any certificates representing such shares) shall be deemed canceled as of the Effective Time. The Holdings Common Stock which will be issued in the Merger shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time. If any certificates for Holdings Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which Envision Stock was registered immediately prior to the Effective Time, it shall be a condition of such issuance that the person requesting such issuance shall (a) deliver to the Exchange Agent all documents necessary and proper to evidence and effect such transfer and (b) pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such shares of Holdings Common Stock in such other name or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent and Holdings that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. 1.10 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No certificates representing fractional shares of Holdings Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Envision Stock certificates. No fractional interest shall entitle the owner to vote or to any rights of a security holder. In lieu of fractional shares, if the Stockholders would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional share of Holdings Common Stock, then they will receive from Holdings at Closing an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction by the Closing Price, subject to applicable withholding tax. 1.11 NO LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Exchange Agent, Holdings, Perfumania.com, EAC or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to a holder of a certificate for any Holdings Common Stock (and any cash payable for fractional shares of Holdings Common Stock or any other amount due, if any) that was properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. 1.12 FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN ENVISION STOCK.

At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Envision shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Envision Stock on the records of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates evidencing ownership of shares of Envision Stock outstanding shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Envision Stock. 4 6 1.13 LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. In the event any certificates evidencing Envision Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Holdings Common Stock and cash for fractional shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.10; provided, however, that Holdings may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Holdings or the Exchange Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

All such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the Closing hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4. No person shall have a right to recovery against any party (or any officer, 28 30 director, employee or agent of a party) other than through the exercise of the indemnification rights set forth in Section 8.2, which shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Data for any breach by a party of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto, other than a fraudulent or intentional breach. 8.2 OBLIGATION OF THE STOCKHOLDERS TO INDEMNIFY. Subsequent to the Effective Time, Richard L. Simon, Gary Whear and Leonard J. Umina (the "Principal Stockholders") shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Holdings (and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and assigns) from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses, including interest and penalties imposed or assessed by any judicial or administrative body and reasonable attorneys' fees, whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing pursuant to this Section 8 ("Losses") based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company or the Stockholders contained in Article 3 or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto. 8.3 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.

The notice shall state the information then available regarding the amount and nature of such 29 31 claim, liability or expense and shall specify the provision or provisions of this Agreement under which the liability or obligation is asserted.

If no such notice of intent to dispute and defend is given by the indemnifying party, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, the indemnified party shall, at the expense of the indemnifying party, undertake the defense of such claim, liability or expense with counsel selected by the indemnified party, and shall have the right to compromise or settle the same exercising reasonable business judgment.
