                  "3.3. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL OF TRANCHE B LOAN. Except as
         contemplated by ss.13.4, the Borrowers may not make any principal
         payments on account of the Tranche B Loan until the Borrowers'
         Obligations to the Revolving Credit Lenders have been paid in full and
         the Commitments have been terminated; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, beginning
         April 30, 2003, the Borrowers may prepay the Tranche B Loan in its
         entirety or in $1,000,000 increments if at such time (i) a Default does
         not exist and one would not result from such prepayment, (ii) after
         giving effect to such payment Availability is in excess of $10,000,000
         and (iii) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative
         Agent pro forma financial statements for the next 12 months
         demonstrating, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
         Agent, that Availability will exceed $10,000,000 at all times during
         the next 12 months after giving effect to the prepayment of the Tranche
         B Loan. The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay on the
         Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the
         Maturity Date, all of the Tranche B Loans outstanding on such date,
         together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If the
         Borrowers prepay the Tranche B Loans in whole or in part, then, in view
         of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual
         amount of damages to Tranche B Lender or profits lost by the Tranche B
         Lender as a result thereof, and by mutual agreement of the parties as
         to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or
         damages of the Tranche B Lender, the Borrowers shall pay a premium with
         respect to each such prepayment (the "TRANCHE B EARLY TERMINATION FEE")
         in an amount equal to the greater of (a) the Yield Revenue calculated
         with respect to such amounts less the aggregate amount of any payments
         made during the period from the Third Amendment Effective Date through
         the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date
         on account of components of Yield Revenue relating to such amounts and
         (b) one and one-fifth percent (1.20%) of the amount prepaid."

         SS.3. LIMITED WAIVER AND CONSENT. The Borrowers have requested, and the
Lenders hereby consent to the request by Mayor's Jewelers, Inc. to (i) authorize
a new series of preferred stock containing substantially identical terms and
rights to Mayor's Jewelers, Inc.'s currently-outstanding Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock with the exception of certain changes to such rights primarily
regarding the payment of dividends, future dividend rates and the conversion
ratio as more fully set forth in the attached Certificate of Designation of
Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and (ii) issue all of such shares of
preferred stock to Birks in a one-for-one exchange for its shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with that certain Exchange Agreement
(the "EXCHANGE AGREEMENT") by and between Mayor's Jewelers, Inc. and Henry Birks
& Sons Inc. in the form attached hereto. In addition, the Lenders hereby consent
to a preferred share dividend payment (the "BIRKS DIVIDEND PAYMENT") to be made
by Mayor's Jewelers, Inc. to Birks on or after the Third Amendment Effective
Date but prior to March 5, 2004 in an amount not to exceed $2,185,755.00. The
Lenders hereby further consent to any of the Borrowers entering into the
Exchange Agreement and the Amendment to Amended and Restated Registration Rights
Agreement referred to in the Exchange Agreement to effect the authorization and
issuance of the additional class of preferred stock, as well as the Birks
Dividend Payment. Solely in connection with the Birks Dividend Payment, the
Lenders hereby agree to waive the application of ss.9.4 of the Credit Agreement
so long as no Default or Event of Default would result therefrom.
